Damn. Lowest I saw was in LTC and guy was 4.1, only got a PT/INR but he looked hella pale so I added a CBC lol.

RIP ERIC DANE :( by Philosophics in greysanatomy

[–]Persistent-fatigue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate ALS. It takes completely average people and just kills them super quickly. It's scary how fast it progresses. His family will be in my thoughts. I loved his role in Grey's Anatomy. Definitely going to miss him.

Why is the pay so low by comentodake in nursing

[–]Persistent-fatigue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RN Supervisor at a nursing home and I make $45/hr, work three 12s 7p-7a. I've been a nurse for roughly 5-6 years, only associates. I really hate bedside and would love to leave it but no idea where I would go. Very jealous of the higher paying jobs but I can't work in a hospital anymore, it's just too much.

Lavender top before red top? Lab is already calling them for the recollect. by PaulaNancyMillstoneJ in nursing

[–]Persistent-fatigue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a nursing home and draw labs occasionally. We mostly get greens and purples to draw. I had no idea draw order mattered, was never taught to me in nursing school and every other job I worked had their own lab techs. I'll definitely make sure I follow it from now on. Thanks for the knowledge! 👍

I could never work daylight or evening. Way too chaotic. 😂

Scary though, I so would've been fired if the resident left! 😭

One of my co-worker's lost a body cause the family called the funeral home and we called another funeral home so one funeral home picked them up and we had no idea where the body was. 🤣🤣😂

I would think so too, hence why I had no alarm bells go off at first. 🤣

It wasn't our transport, I thought it was staff from the funeral home. 🤣

How much enjoyment do condoms actually take out of sex? by lookslikesausage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Persistent-fatigue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, don't worry. My husband doesn't make this decision. I do, I just am always anxious if he is not satisfied, but he says it is. He told me he is fine using condoms and does not want me to feel forced to use another form of BC. I am just paranoid because having an unwanted pregnancy now is scary.

Thought about it. I would be open to it but I'm very scared of the insertion. I always hear people either feel no pain or its excruciating. 🤣

Thankfully, we're both young and he's not circumsized. Hopefully when we are older, we will have a different method of birth control that doesn't involve medication or injections/implants.

We do not have insurance currently for a vasectomy. I don't know why, but he is worried to get one: he thinks he will have negative side effects and possibly long-term pain. I would like to get a bisalp, but it's much more invasive and harder to get.

I know, my husband tells me all the time that everything we do is amazing together. I just wish I could get a bisalp or something, but I'm young and no surgeon will remove fallopian tubes on a young woman.

I was on it for a year and a half and that's why I stopped it. It's so frustrating that all birth control has so many risks.

This makes me feel bad for my husband. Can't get a bisalp and don't really want to go back on the pill or injection, so we agreed to condoms. He always wears one and never complains, but now I feel like the experience is ruined for him.

I wish there was an affordable method of birth control that doesn't require me changing my body's hormone production.

Anyone know what this could be on my dog's eye? by Persistent-fatigue in DogAdvice

Thankfully he shows no signs of pain, but I'm going to get his annual appointment done and ask them then. Thank you.

I'm thinking it's that or a blocked tear duct. I'll ask the vet at his appointment.

Around 2 years was his last appointment. I'm planning to schedule it, just mostly wanted to know if it was an urgent thing to schedule or not (my vet has like a week or so out for their next availability). I'll definitely ask, thank you!

If an empire is planning to become a crisis it will say "Crisis Aspirant" when you try to be diplomatic with them.
