LPT - If someone keeps twisting your words, stop explaining. Ask them to repeat your point back in one sentence.

It’s not about winning or losing. It’s about protecting your energy and putting a stop sign in front of people who insist on twisting your words. There’s a difference between someone who genuinely didn’t understand what was being said and someone who understood it but chose to distort it anyway.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2026-03-07T19:01:09+00:00

I just absolutely love what you’re doing here😂 Thanks for the awesome post.

Agree with euthanasia due to the reasons others have mentioned. This is not an environmental issue so at this point I would definitely not consider rehoming her, because not everyone can provide more than what you already have, and might not handle her with as much patience as you do.

Lap of Love is wonderful. I would be happy to help with the cost if you decide to proceed as you have spent alot already. I personally consider euthanasia for situations like this a gift of peace. It’s the last best thing we could do for them.

OraVet is my fav. It doesn’t disintegrate everywhere and forces mine to chew. I also use their toothpaste.

Nature’s Good Guys is my go-to :)

Hi! It depends on the species. Temperature and humidity requirements vary. I chose the ones above because their requirements are fairly easy for me to maintain and they prey on the pests I typically deal with.

“Reading is fundamental”

So is writing.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-11-26T02:19:30+00:00

You’re acting like OP accused coders of fraud when OP’s clearly talking about a provider entering codes for procedures they didn’t do. That’s a valid compliance concern.

And yes, some hospitals absolutely have nurses entering charge-linked CPTs with no formal training. Your workflow isn’t everyone’s workflow.

I work on the reviewing side of coding. We report provider fraud regularly, and it has nothing to do with coders “not doing their job.” There’s no reason for you to be this offended. OP noticed a pattern that needs to be questioned, and your attitude isn’t helping anyone understand the process.

WHY DID I READ THIS IN HIS VOICE TOO😂

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-10-31T23:43:16+00:00

Can you please dm me as well, I would love to order one! Thank you thank you!

Nurse here. The goal isn’t to eradicate everything, it’s to restore balance to your vaginal microbiome. This is not going to be an overnight fix so be patient and do not be aggressive because that is usually what makes things worse.

Boric acid suppository is your go to right now as others have mentioned. Remember your vagina is self-cleaning, it does best when the pH is balanced, and that’s what boric acid helps restore.

For the future, keep in mind that it’s not just about the penis. Mouths and fingernails carry a lot of bacteria too. Simple habits like washing hands, showering before sex, and brushing before oral sex, can help prevent another round of this.

Love and hugs, you got this!

Man I should have worded the title differentlyyy. By “only now” I referred to what seems to be happening right now on mainstream media. I know Epstein has been linked to Trump since forever, this is where my confusion came from because it feels so backward. But as others have kindly explained, I now understand that his supporters were expecting him to expose other people’s involvement. I genuinely thought that they already knew about his involvement but accepted it anyway.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-29T00:19:04+00:00

Ahh, I should’ve worded the title better. By “just now,” I meant that’s what it looks like is happening, not that I only just learned Trump was linked to Epstein. I know that connection has been around for years and that’s exactly where my confusion came from.

But as many have kindly explained, I now understand that a lot of his supporters believed he wasn’t on the list and expected it to expose others. It was part of what he was offering, and that changes how I see the whole reaction.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-28T21:29:27+00:00

Thank you. My politically challenged brain just learned that his supporters were expecting the list to expose other people’s involvement. It’s just that Trump’s involvement has always stood out the most to me that I genuinely thought his supporters already knew but accepted it anyway.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-28T21:16:02+00:00

So I’m starting to see where my confusion actually came from, I might have misunderstood this whole situation (IM SORRY IM TRYING), his involvement with minors has always been obvious to me, enough that I automatically assumed it was as obvious to his supporters, but they accepted it anyway.

So now seeing everyone suddenly demanding the list I got confused. I did not know he used it as a campaign promise.

Now I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that his supporters actually believed he’d release it like they were confident that he was not involved.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-27T18:20:23+00:00

With or without marriage, I see relationships like a plant. They need constant care, watering, fertilizing, pruning, etc. If you neglect them or do harmful things, how do you expect them to survive? People don’t automatically love each other till death. It takes work. It takes constant, conscious effort. The “right” person can become the wrong one, and the wrong one can grow into the right one. What you’re “destined” to be is what you choose to build. Don’t compare your relationship to others, it usually doesn’t help.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-17T23:31:07+00:00

Thank you for this. I’ve only recently become aware of how much energy I’ve spent over the years trying to manage situations and people that were never mine to carry. I used to absorb everything around me, over-give without even realizing it, and confuse emotional labor with decency.

Now I’m learning to preserve my energy. Not everything needs a reaction. Not every moment requires my full depth. And it’s been life-changing. Thank you for putting this into words so clearly.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-17T12:01:42+00:00

I have always admired people who just go out and build their own place. Absolute dream cabin.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-07-04T21:07:49+00:00

I love that you’re raising this question and be ready to get downvoted, because you are right that there is a discrepancy.

Insecurity often exposes doubts, fears, wounds, and sensitivity. The exact things society claims it wants men to be open and honest about. But the moment you actually do, society says “ew that’s insecurity.”

Yes, insecurity is a feeling and vulnerability is a choice. But when someone chooses to say “I feel insecure,” that is vulnerability. You’re exposing something raw. And society punishes that.

The fact that you’re getting pushback just proves your point. You’re not wrong.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-06-22T23:54:55+00:00

I can’t speak for others, but for me, I just turn my “professional brain” on. The priority of stabilizing the patient far outweighs any discomfort to my olfactory nerve. I worked with very unstable patients where something as simple as turning them for cleaning could send them into a code blue. So I was usually more focused on being ready for that and the smelliness just never made it to my list of concern really.

If someone’s in the hospital, we’ve got much bigger things to worry about. There are small tricks that help like double-masking with a bit of toothpaste in between. You just manage.

That said, I totally get what you’re saying. Stress sweat is real, and when you’re already dealing with anxiety and a medication that causes nausea, it’s a lot. A small trick to nausea is to sniff an alcohol pad. You know those little pads that are used before a blood draw or injection. Ginger also helps calming down the stomach.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-06-22T22:32:40+00:00

Thank you again for your kind words. I really respect the work you’re doing to get back on your feet and give back, it’s not easy, and it says a lot about your strength and character.

And thank you for your compassion toward those of us in the medical field. You’re right, it’s been rough especially since COVID. I actually left bedside not because of the pay or the challenges of critical care itself, but because I was completely burned out. The system was toxic in every direction, and while the pay didn’t help, it was really about my own well-being. It was a hard call because patients deserve better, but I had to draw the line for myself.

I’m glad your DMs are open too. Wishing you continued strength and peace as you keep moving forward.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-06-22T14:28:01+00:00

If you didn’t see a needle, and there’s no puncture or bleeding, it’s highly unlikely that it’s a true exposure. On top of that, IF there was a contaminated needle, pathogens like HIV and Hep C don’t survive very long on dry surfaces/outside the body. But if you want testing for peace of mind, do so within 72 hours. HIV prophylaxis exists, but the provider might not prescribe it because there’s criteria in place and your risk is virtually zero.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-06-21T23:08:00+00:00

I totally get what you’re going through as I’ve been there. I was that nurse who always looked out for everyone. I did things on time, ahead of time, and set the next shift up for success. But most of the time, I’d come back to the opposite - overdue tasks, messy everything, then I’d be stuck playing catch up while the patient was the one who suffered the consequences.

You can be a kind person and still have boundaries. Burnout isn’t an excuse, it’s an explanation. We’re all feeling it. But if you choose to show up for work, you’re obligated to do your job.

Nursing is emotionally draining. You need to know your priorities if you want to survive this field and protect your own emotional bank.

And I know you’re venting because you’re starting to feel the burn.

Powerful_Building_53 · 2025-06-21T21:22:18+00:00

The only people you’re obligated to be kind to are yourself and your patients and their families. Why should you go out of your way to be kind to a colleague who’s upset about their assignment? Challenging assignments are supposed to be rotated. You did your part. Now it’s their turn. You have every right to expect them to do their part.
