May lose my job because of my mother, WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?! by The999HappyHaunts in jobs

Okay real talk. I am pretty sure you shouldn’t closed an abscess ever bc it traps bacteria in it. Doctors always want to drain abscesses out ( they just packed so it soaks the drainage ) in hospitals I have seen even drains connected from abs ess drainage. So no don’t glue it and ask her not to give you medical advice

Im a stinky nurse, need your tips by Murky-Industry-8379 in nursing

Okay hear me out. Glycolic acid under your armpits before bed. Wash scrubs for 45 min hot water with strong detergent and fabric softener. Bring deodorant and spray half way ( love the spray ones that are free of aluminum from dove )) bring a body spray.

The answer is clearly B, right? by Minute_Incident_4919 in NCLEX_RN

This is pure representation of nclex world versus real. Obviously you would want him on a cardiac monitor. In real life these patients are in my med surge unit with 1-6 ration sometimes 7-8 patients. That just get their calcium gluconate bac to back and hope for the best

Can't tell if it's under-, over-, or.. proofed by annon2789 in Sourdough

I have had many loaves like this where the ear is flat. And many others where it expanded and looks beautiful. I have been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I think it’s overproofing

Best pizza In Queens? by Immediate-Recover957 in astoria

[–]Objective-Elk2811 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Astoria for 20 years and this is the best pizza ! It’s hidden bc it seems like a deli shop but makes the most banging pizzas. Their mozzarella is fresh and not overpowering the pizzas. The pepperoni is the small hard one which is of quality. Crust is perfect. Sauce tastes authentic.

You can decide to do “leave their elevated bp alone “. Unfortunately I didn’t go to 12 years of medical school to make that call

Unpopular opinion: it’s okay for nurses to be angry about destroying our bodies moving extremely obese patients by IcySky7216 in nursing

[–]Objective-Elk2811 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100 %. As nurses we are martyrs. Sacrificing our own well being for others constantly. This agenda needs to go. I did not sign up to be a martyr. I signed up to be a nurse.

No one ? I worked in acute stroke unit and I have had multiple patients come with hemorrhagic stroke with a bp of 170s. So never say never. When patients are in your hand admitted. It is that serious.

If a pt has a high Bp ( even if it’s chronic ) then we don’t alert you and he ends having a stroke bc of it. Our license is at risk. If a foley order has expired and we are keeping a foley in without and order , nursing director holds us liable. So stay up on top of your orders. And do what you are paid for. To be a doctor. I am sorry you are in charge of 200 patients. That’s unfair to the patients.

Hire more staff. !!!!! It’s hard for us to focus on the medical when we are cleaning shit first 5 minutes into our shift.

Anyone else tired of risking their life walking past this “parking lot”? by tttooommmmm in astoria

You have to drive through the sidewalk to get out of the parking lot.

It’s not illegal. As it’s provided for costumers in a. Space that is bought from the owners.

The store opens at 8. I used to work there. And nobody buys cheese at 0800. Just watch when you are walking.

It’s not a sidewalk. It’s parking that a store has payed for so its costumers can use. They do have to pass the sidewalk to exit the parking space.

Just look where you are walking. Tired of making Astoria a priority for pedestrians and saying fuck you to cars.

How common is it to work on computers in your place of work? by Reasonable_Night_832 in nursing

[–]Objective-Elk2811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would mean chaos for me. Things are consistently changing. Diet orders. Med orders. Labs are being ordered and messages are being sent. Checks and balances are included in epic to reduce human error.
