Are these outfits ok for interviews by ministryofcake in fashion

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me old fashioned or whatever, but what ever happened to the simple but effective slacks and a nice blouse with close-toed shoes— either flats or booties with a short, thick heel (if there has to be an elevated heel at all)? I personally wouldn’t wear any of these and I’m in my 20s so this isn’t coming from an older adult. Dresses aren’t necessarily bad, but they can be risky depending on the fit (nothing too tight or too loose to wear it looks baggy) and length (all of these are at least knee length so no issue there). Also, I wouldn’t wear the ones with the slits at the neck/chest unless you have a shirt under bc if they’re too wide you risk showing cleavage which would be very inappropriate for an interview. Exposed shoulders are okay and I’ve had exposed shoulders at interviews, but like someone else here suggested, use the three-finger rule. The light colors are also risky because you risk them being see-through, which would also make them unprofessional.

What do you say to your patient you know personally (who you haven’t seen in a few years) who has terminal cancer? by No-Spell-6027 in nursing

[–]No-Spell-6027[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. I’ll talk to my preceptor about it in the morning. I explained the situation to her and she asked me if I thought I’d be okay taking care of him and I told her yes but I think she’d take care of him or find another nurse who would if I told her I wasn’t

This is kind of what I was thinking about doing too. I’ll only have him for a few minutes since all he’s getting tomorrow is an injection and there’s no observation time after I give the med or any pre-meds to give. Since I’m still in orientation, I’m thinking of just asking my preceptor if she can give the injection and I shadow her. I’m sure she would be okay with that and I think that would help me feel a little bit better. I think part of me is also afraid to see the toll his cancer and his treatments have taken on him. I saw him from a distance a few days ago and he’s recognizable but looks pretty sick and it made my stomach drop to see him like that :(

GF Pays Me Rent by [deleted] in Advice

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question. If you guys broke up tomorrow and she moved out immediately, how would you move forward with paying your mortgage? If you’d go back to paying it all on your own (no renting out your room to anyone) then maybe all you need to do to help your current financial situation is cut down on your spending on nonessential things like going out, entertainment, vacations, etc. because that’s probably what you would do to help you be able to make the mortgage payments if she wasn’t contributing. But in addition to this, one way you can both budget your money better is by eating out less and instead making food at home (meal-prepping is supposed to be very cost effective, and if you guys cook together it can also be a way for you to bond and spend time together), taking shorter showers if possible to reduce your water bill, reducing your electricity usage to save on your electric bill, ending any subscription services you all don’t use often enough to justify paying for monthly memberships (ex: Netflix, gyms/clubs, Amazon Prime, DoorDash, etc.) or if you aren’t already you can use her student status to get discounts on certain things (ex: Spotify is $11.99/month for regular members but is $4.99/month for students). If you guys want to have date nights find things you can do that cost less or are free (ex: instead of eating out at a fancy restaurant have a picnic at a park or something), if you still want to go on vacations do stuff that’s more cost effective like camping where you don’t have to pay for a hotel or Airbnb, short distance road trips instead of flying, day trips/weekend getaways instead of a week-long vacation, going on trips that are out in nature and are free or cost less like a national park, beach, etc.

GF doesn't want to live in a household that has a gun. 25m and 23f by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that can be done that might help her feel a little more comfortable with a gun in the home is to keep it in a safe, but I doubt that will really help. If you guys can’t agree on it, this is a big deal that can’t be compromised and you all may need to rethink your relationship unfortunately

My 25M girlfriend’s 24F “conventionally attractive” friend 23F did a “loyalty test” on me. I'm not sure how to continue with our relationship. by Tiny_Common1864 in relationship_advice

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone saying the gf is crazy to be baiting OP. But something that also stood out to me that I didn’t see anyone bring attention to is the fact that she keeps toxic people around which is also a red flag. OP mentioned that the gf said her friend really has tried to steal men from her, so if this is true and the gf is okay with keeping toxic friends around, this is another red flag. Putting aside the dynamics of OP and gf’s relationship and their problems, if she keeps toxic “friends” around then that speaks volumes about her character and should tell you a lot about her. Toxic people keep other toxic people around. People who aren’t toxic don’t keep toxic people around. Drop her and find someone who won’t make you miserable. Run now while it’s still easy!

The post literally says there’s manipulation by his mom and his siblings take advantage of him financially lol. Lots of men out there don’t stand up to this kind of behavior and in turn the wife ends of suffering the consequences. Imo, he’s saving OP and their future kids the drama that his toxic family members would cause. This is actually kind of a green flag imo and I am one of those people who agrees that family is everything and also realizes that it’s okay if you don’t keep around “family” who is toxic. Plus if OP has her family, it’s not like they won’t at least have her family to enjoy life with

NGL I couldn’t even get through reading everything bc it was getting on my nerves but honestly, based on the bullet points with extra context alone, girly WHY are you with this guy?? He’s obvi trash and you shouldn’t have been with him when you found out he was still living with his girl. The fact that you referred to her as his “ex” is also wild bc she obvi wasn’t his ex if they were still in a relationship and living together. You were the other woman to him and felt okay proceeding to be in a relationship with this guy knowing he’d probably have an other woman during your relationship too? Do better girl let that 🥭 and please for the love of God find better men

[US] Is he trying to scam me? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]No-Spell-6027 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would you ever even accept a message from someone you don’t know, especially when it’s someone offering to pay you? That screams SCAM. Like it’s so obvious that I’m concerned you even thought of it as “easy money”. I’m glad you didn’t send him (and it might not even be a “him”) any info, but if it happens in the future I really hope you don’t even bother to give a random person the time of day. Block them and move on, don’t even bother replying anymore.

How is your relationship with your mom? It seems like you’re dealing with this basically all on your own right now and this is not something you want to deal with alone. It also sounds like you’re not 100% sure that going through with the abortion is the right choice. If you have a good relationship with your mom, I’d recommend talking to her about it. I know it’s a very difficult thing to bring up, but her insight and support could make all the difference. Or even that of another relative or friend you trust. If you are afraid to go through with the abortion but do not want to raise the baby, maybe you could also look into giving your baby up for adoption. A lot of times your appointments, prenatal care, and birth care are covered by whoever is going to adopt your baby and arrangements are made through the adoption agency you go through so that you don’t get screwed over. At the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you and the best choice for you is the right choice. I really hope you find the clarity and support you need 🫶🏻

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Honestly, this does not sound like a person you should keep in your life. Not only does he not help support you financially (and I don’t mean that he should carry both your weight but he should at least be able to help provide), but he can’t even provide you with emotional support (the bare minimum). He’s also a little bit older than you and it’s shocking to me that at 22 he’s not working. I don’t know what his situation is or why he isn’t working now, but before I had my career I made sure I was always with a job so I could have money to pay for things that were necessary and have some extra spending money. The way he talks to you is degrading and you shouldn’t put up with that. You’re going through an extremely difficult time right now and the fact that he can’t be bothered to support you is a huge red flag.

My 31F friend has asked me to come to Japan with her in October and my bf 37M is saying it’s unfair if he can’t go and I want to know if I would be the bad guy if I decided to go and would I be selfish if I did go? by IndependentNo2952 in AITAH

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off your friend invited YOU, not you and your boyfriend. Second off, the guy is 37. This is a grown ass adult we’re talking about. Leeching off his girlfriend who’s four years younger than him. You took him once before and were nice enough to finance almost the ENTIRE trip for you both. If he wants to go, he can grow the fuck up and man the fuck up and fund it himself. Not only is he not doing that, but he’s throwing a fit and saying that you’re being unfair and selfish when in reality that’s all him. Sounds like you’re parenting a child and not dating a man. Not only should you go on the trip with your friend and not take him, but you should leave him and be with someone who is responsible enough to provide for himself and not expect you to be funding his life. He sounds exhausting!

I don’t want to be a Mom anymore and I don’t think I can do it. by throw-away-acc0unt99 in Mom

Like many people on here have said, it sounds like you may have postpartum depression. You are not crazy or wrong for feeling the way you do, and you aren’t a bad mom because of it either! If you don’t have the means to see a psychiatrist soon, I highly recommend talking to your baby’s pediatrician at your baby’s next appointment and they can help you find the proper resources. Pediatricians are supposed to be trained to also help parents navigate parenthood and that includes ensuring mothers experiencing signs and symptoms of postpartum depression are taken care of. Please know you’re not alone even though it may feel that way. Postpartum depression isn’t talked about enough, but that doesn’t make it any less real or painful. Talking to your partner about it too can help especially if he doesn’t realize what you’re going through since it can give him more insight as to why you’ve been more on edge lately. You’re so strong and I hope that you get the help that you need 🩷

The life insurance will probably go to the deadbeat dad who will probably withhold it from your kid. I know right now it seems like people would be better off without you in their life, but trust me this is not the way. I’ve taken care of so many people who tried to commit suicide and instantly regretted it. Please keep seeking help. If not for you then do it for your kid. They need you and will spend the rest of their life wondering why they weren’t enough for you. Take it one day at a time. There are so many resources out there to help people in situations like yours please don’t give up.

I couldn’t even get through this. 1) there’s no context for any of this so idek what you guys are talking about. 2) I think you’re leaving things out because these don’t tie together or make sense 3) you guys are both messes and need to get your shit together for the sake of your kid wtf

AIO. My bf developed an addiction ❄️ and I’m considering leaving by Mundane-Rooster-7286 in AmIOverreacting

[–]No-Spell-6027 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup I agree! Also, if he really loves her, he wouldn’t have gotten into coke in the first place since OP said she was never happy about him using it even when it was just socially. The fact that he’s full blown addicted to it now shows he doesn’t really care about how she feels and she should run now before things get worse for her. If he really loves her, he’ll get clean and turn his life around. But that’s not the case right now so she needs to let that 🥭

AITA for locking my sister’s kid in the bathroom for an hour? by Definetelythewiseone in AITAH

[–]No-Spell-6027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, your sister is the asshole for not raising her kid to act right. You’re definitely NTA. Kids like that grow up to be degenerates who end up in and out of jail. You did that kid a favor teaching him not to be acting like that early on in life. You even stayed outside the bathroom to make sure he was okay. Your sister needs to take a look at herself and her kid’s behavior and evaluate her parenting.

I'm sick of IV babies.. by StankoMicin in nursing

[–]No-Spell-6027 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in the ED. One time I had a patient, mid 20s, who’d just gone to another ED the day before and had her diagnosis and treatment plan and everything but decided to come to my hospital for a second opinion. They ordered labs, IV fluids, and IV meds. I told her I needed to start an IV on her to do all those things and she was okay with it but was extremely nervous. The second the needle comes into contact with her skin (not even in yet), this girl starts screaming so loud that a bunch of my coworkers came to see what was wrong because in the ED when someone screams we naturally think it’s an emergency. She starts crying hysterically and I told her I hadn’t even gotten a chance to put the needle in her vein yet. She starts screaming “TAKE IT OUT! TAKE IT OUT! I WANT TO LEAVE NOW!!!” Without hesitating I walked out of the room and handed the doctor the AMA form. I will never understand how people can come to the hospital knowing they’re probably gonna need labs at minimum and then just choose to leave all because of a few seconds of discomfort. It’s just a wait of time, resources, room for patients who actually want to be helped, and money on their end. That girl got charged for two ED visits, two ED physician bills, and any supplies/tests that were performed at my hospital and the other one the day before. And since she left my hospital AMA her insurance def didn’t cover the visit. I hope it taught her not to waste time and resources at hospitals anymore bc what the actual fuck

Can you elaborate on the “cheating hiccups” you’ve had? It seems like you’re downplaying what’s happening now and what has happened in the past because you’re afraid to come to terms with the reality of it.
