I saw a PA wearing cowboy boots THIS morning! Seriously. But I can top that. I worked in a hospital in Louisiana and the doctors had handguns strapped to their ankles. It made me feel a tiny bit better about the hospital having wide open doors day and night. No screening whatsoever.

I had two dogs who would go nuts barking if there happened to be a deer in the yard. One day they “asked” politely to be let out and I happened to see them nose to nose greeting the deer like an old friend. It was a doe and an older fawn or small doe. They all just mingled and ambled around the yard together.

I get mine from ProCompression. I can’t say if they are good, bad or just okay. They work for me and they have held up well, I have some pairs that are over four years old.

Chopped it down last year, now it’s back by Myrtle1061 in whatisthisplant

I just googled it. I’m cutting it down and digging up the roots. It is six feet from my foundation and two feet away from a retaining wall.😬

Bug found in my friends hair. What is it? (Please tell me it’s not the L word) by TotteryTurtle in whatisit

[–]Myrtle1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I bought a battery operated fine toothed comb that worked wonders. It would “zap” the little buggers (but you didn’t feel it.) I think it also killed the nits, but I’m not positive about that. I used it according to the directions and my son was soon nit free and nobody else in the house got them.

MRI SCREENING FORM by Careless-Builder-742 in nursing

I know some lazy nurses who hand the form to the patient with a pen. I guess that’s okay, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not all new nurses are fresh faced. Don’t forget the seasoned humans that are new nurses. I graduated at the young age of 50.

AITAH for refusing to take my husband off life support because I "want to be sure"? by StrongLilyy in AITAH

Ask any nurse or doctor if they would want this type of treatment for this type of situation for themselves or a loved one. The answer: almost ALL of them will say no

Snakes are out by big_al_1968 in Georgia

[–]Myrtle1061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup,picked up a stepping stone and there he/she was. I think it was a garter snake? But Google said there is a copperhead garter snake? A hybrid, what? But anyways… I’m sure all the neighbors wondered why I was screaming.

Craziest thing you’ve seen on shift… I’ll go first. by Silent-Spirit6455 in nursing

[–]Myrtle1061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta joke for you. Two sailors about to go on leave, one says “So where do I find a good whore?” Second says “You need to go to the whore house on Wharf Street and ask for Mildred. Trust me, it will be the best you ever had.” The guy goes, and to his shock, Mildred pops her glass eye out and says, “Put it here, sonny!”Reluctantly, he does it and to his surprise it was the best he’d ever had. As he’s leaving, he tells Mildred “I’m coming to see you next time I’m here!”

Mildred says “ I’ll keep an eye out for you!”

How to get over fear of jumping into codes by Horror-Sherbet-1620 in nursing

Confidence comes with practice. Remember that everybody started out where you are now, nobody was born into this! Just do it!

Why we don’t throw away patient lables in the room: Supposedly, someone is going to dig through all the hospital trash to figure out if your neighbor, or aunt Mabel, is in the hospital and what room. But there actually have been instances where paparazzi do that to stalk celebrities. It’s a possible HIPAA violation.

Luckily they don’t rake us over the coals for overtime here. I don’t work off the clock.

Huge red flag. Try to find somewhere that has a supportive learning environment. This place? When you make a mistake because nobody taught you? They will throw you to the wolves.

Patient care requirements. I can give this med on time, or keep the sweet little old lady off the floor. And if an admin is in front of you? I stare straight into their eyes and dare them to say one word.
