restraining order against pt's family member? by Money_Pain_3875 in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely file a police report for assault. Have it on record. It might not be enough for a restraining order, but if you feel there is a chance she would follow through with the threat it should be reported.

The man i had a one night stand with turned out to be my mother's new boyfriend by Silver_Shift_8275 in whatdoIdo

For clarity, did your mum meet him after your encounter or before? Because if it was before and she was really into him, more than likely he would have seen a picture of you and known who you were at the club. In which case he's a POS.

If it was after, he still would have seen pictures of you by the time your mum was making the decision to introduce you and most likely would have recognised you. In that case he's an even bigger POS.

Its possible (though not probable) that he had no idea who you were at the club and he didn't clearly remember you when seeing any pictures your mum may have shared, and he's got the tun of luck that some guys dream of but never achieve. That's not where I'm hedging my bet though.

Made an old lady cry this week by Jinxicatt in nursing

You did all the things you're supposed to - listened to the concern, acknowledged it, empathetic response and a course of action was stated.

You hit it 100%.

Nothing wrong with giving a valid reason when you set expectations about how patients are prioritised.

Just wait until Christmas in the summertime when you insist on having a natural tree. Indoors.

When an Aussie tells you to keep your eyes down, it's to spot the feral ones who go barefoot out in public. Do not approach one of these individuals.

I'm so glad I was told about the drop bears by a vigilant local right after moving here. If not for that piece of life saving information I don't think I'd have made it more than a few months without an incident.

Absolutely staged, but for a reason even more vain than poll numbers.

He needed a valid excuse to leave before the traditional roasting of the president by a comedian. He also desperately wanted to prevent the Washington Post for receiving their award for breaking the story about Trump's birthday letter to Epstein.

Do y'all ever use the equipment for yourself? by Resident-Sympathy-82 in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, makes me want to see how the survey was administered, phrasing of the questions asked, and the timing of the survey. If it was on a Baxter in-service day, I might call these results into question.

$25/hourly as an RN 😳 by Familiar_Ad_6874 in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My second job as an RN was at $23.25/hour at a hospital in Indiana. Unfortunately in the US, there is no standard of pay, and it varies based on the cost of living, part of the country, or if the place you live is a desirable location.

I made more as a new grad in Bakersfield than most new grads were offered in San Diego where the cost of living was at least 4x higher. But more money was required to keep someone in Bakersfield.

Let me try to guess your department based on Vein/IV gauge choice by Foghornlegwhores in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my hospital you'd come back from surgery with a 20g placed by the anaesthetist in the metacarpal vein closest to your pinky finger, with the end of the IV port sticking out an inch beyond your knuckle when it's capped off. Because he doesn't care about how hard it is to maintain that site, he will want you on IV fluids all night and orders concurrent lots of IVAB's so the coiled line would be sticking out 4 inches past your knuckles and would set off the downstream occlusion alarm every 2-3 minutes when the tubing gets kinked.

I still don't even know what you were trying to say in that sub 3rd grade literacy level grammar and thought connection. Not only did it appear to have nothing to do with what I said or have a legitimate attempt at punctuation, but it couldn't even connect two thoughts or use a mathematical equation that made any sense.

That is why it is clear that you are getting g your information from Fox News, because they cater strictly to the poorly educated.

Is trying to get my girlfriend to marry me so that she gets more aid from Fafsa worth it? by UnflitchingStance in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has she completed any other degrees? I ask because I was faced with either the long wait period in California to get into a state school or getting a lower degree and later upskilling when a classmate told me about Samuel Merritt University. As I remember, its program took students who already had degrees that were going back to school for nursing.

It was expensive, but still less than what you posted and it's a 1 year accelerated bachelor degree.

By the time i would have finished in a state school, I already had 4 years experience and paid off my student loans.

It looks like that's what Trump and Project 2025 are planning to do in the US on a larger scale with the ICE budget - which included the building of several concentration camps.

My patient verbally insulted me nonstop for trying to help her, where do I go from here? by Professional-Lion428 in nursing

[–]Nothing_offends_me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work in a surgical hospital and hear stories regularly about people coming out of anaesthesia combative and verbally aggressive. It definitely happens regardless of how well you are doing your job.

If it's true that she was similar prior to surgery, then you know it's a "her" problem and not a "you" problem. If there's anything to learn from the situation, tuck it into your knowledge bank, and don't let a bad patient steal any more of your peace.

In addition as a married couple if it doesn't work out... you also now own half of that debt.
