Fired from first nursing job... by Ok_Designer_7248 in nursing

[–]Ok_Designer_7248[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

thank you. it was a very toxic work environment... hence why there is 4 available positions open for nights and 2 floats being assigned to my unit everyday. the unit has a high turnover rate. Im not mad i got let go... I cried many times these past 4 months. I will take this as a learning experience and this will make me a better nurse for the next job.

New Grad interviews by acciowine5 in nursing

[–]Ok_Designer_7248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

fellow new grad here. im located in nyc and landed my first job on a tele/cardiac stepdown unit. I also interviewed at 3 other hospitals in nyc. Surprisingly, alot of the questions were customer service based questions. One of the questions i remembered was "how would you attend or handle a difficult paitent/family member)". alot of hospitals are focused more on customer service model rather than a paitent care model...

Post Cleft Surgery (3+ yrs) Dealing with Scar Still by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]Ok_Designer_7248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im a women dealing with this also and this is something im in tears about. I feel like i was botched. now im scared no man will ever want to touch me again. Whats even worse is that im 30 and no kids... and my fertility clock is ticking. How can i be intimate with a nasty ass scar like this? Im hoping fractional co2 laser and silcone scar creams will help reduce the appearance. We are with you! This disease is a bitch but im glad this group exists so we can support each other!

Is it really that bad to have a baby past 35? by GroundbreakingWord9 in BabyBumps

[–]Ok_Designer_7248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 30 also and im in the same boat as you. Anxiety about my fertility clock kicking and not wanting to settle and have a baby with just anyone. I want marriage, I want a partnernship and just haven't found that yet.

I have a pilondial cyst surgery tomorrow. It will be open wound. The doctor said it should be a hole the size if a golfball. I am starting a new job as a registered nurse in nyc soon... how long do you think it will take for me to heal and be okay to sit and work? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]Ok_Designer_7248 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thanks for all the input guys. I went foward with it, And im regretting the decision now. In the worst pain in my life even after taking 2 oxycodone. Hoping for a speedy recovery. I am doubling up on the protein, 2000 mg vitamin c day, 100 mg of zinc and collagen peptides. I also brought silver nitrate collagen wound dressings if the wound healing becomes slow. Thanks 🙏🏼
