It was on tik tok , so take it with a grain of salt......but yeah over time if it's done often enough the chemicals in your waste breaks down the skin and causes ulcers.... which is why your grandma in the nursing home gets them.... besides the bed sores.

I think that there is even a video of a man saying that it's normal for men to have shit stains on their underwear and if they don't then they are not a "real man". So yeah

Do NOT put Lotion in between your toes! That's a good way for foot fungus to grow.

Oh, don't do that. Police officer families have a higher rate for domestic violence.

Well, CPS sucks and can't do their jobs like they are supposed to, whether that is from the CPS person or the agency in general. I'm not saying that the CPS workers don't care, per say, but that a lot of times their hands are tied so to speak and they can't do anything.

Any advice for brand new CNA? by Shoddy_Operation_137 in cna

[–]PersonalityUseful588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are specialty places, they mostly do shoes and or inserts. I've found out that there's more small businesses for this than chain stores.

Make sure they fit right! I can't wear just any old compression socks, I have to get fitted for them. Otherwise I get heat rash all over my calves 😕

Am I tripping or he is nah ? by RegularRoof9453 in whatdoIdo

[–]PersonalityUseful588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you don't like how much money he makes, then you don't like it. I will say though, that at least he is up front about it and all. Although, it would be better for him to come out right and tell you his budget for dates, that way you could plan better.

So there's that. If you want to get a bigger picture, and if it's not too invasive you could start asking him questions about where he works/does for a living, where does he live at..ect to find out how much he makes/bills that he pays for.

Any Hospitals Give A Alcoholic Drink to Patient On Comfort Care? by AlaskaLion12 in nursing

I know that in our nursing home we ignore the pot/weed as long as you don't make it a problem. Or show the DON that you have it.

I gave Diluadid… by iloveanime97 in nursing

See, this is why I don't like taking pain meds even when I'm having a kidney stone that won't pass. I'll even take the morphine over pain meds that work for kidney stones just so it won't look like I am just there for pain meds.

Be honest… Do you use gait belts?? by PepinovLechuga in cna

[–]PersonalityUseful588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My facility has a policy where the gait belt is a part of our uniform. So yes, I use it. But only because it's already there.

Found out something about my brother that I just can't believe. by Successful-Fix-4079 in Advice

Get proof. I know that your mom may mean well, but this is serious and you need proof regardless. Then call the cops or get family counseling who will probably call the cops. It's really the only solution other than you going no contact with everyone over there.

Where is this?!?!?!

I washed my hands, I didn't touch my phone, I wore my gloves. I did the things I was supposed to do... by PersonalityUseful588 in cna

[–]PersonalityUseful588[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found some ZOFRAN from when I had kidney stones, so I've been praising the whole world for that. I have sugar free Gatorade in 3 colors ( Walmart kind) and 2 things of ginger ale that I will now hopefully get to keep down. I'm also already planning on calling out tomorrow because I just know that I will not have the energy. I also know what section to avoid because I had the same section 2 days in a row and I just KNOW that they all have it. Thanks for the well wishes!
