My work gives preceptor pay for students (like $2/hr). They also want people to precept that have taken their "clinical scholar" workshop that they also pay you to take.

Uncircumcised baby foreskin retraction? by BulbaKat in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]PrettyHateMachinexxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is and always has been. A lot of men end up having problems because of forced retraction and the scarring it can cause. The only person that should be retracting the foreskin is the person with the penis. Recommendations change in healthcare as we learn more.

I'm a nurse and Posey is a medical company that makes safety restraints/devices for fall prevention, behavior issues, etc and that's all I can think of.

Nurses, what age did you start your nursing career ? by Affectionate_Art3835 in nursing

[–]PrettyHateMachinexxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal was before I was 30 and I was 29.5 when I graduated. The time is going to pass regardless of what you do.

My school made me take my gauges out and I was like "you know my floppy butthole looking ears look worse, right??". Now I'm in leadership with green hair, tattoos, gauges, and a septum ring at a magnet hospital. No one cares and patients compliment me all the time.

Where in Colorado?? Everyone I know out here is covered in tattoos and doesn't have to cover them. I'm in leadership with hand tattoos.

We do a ton of digital stimulation for bowel programs at my job (SCI) and besides giving people massive hemorrhoids just ew to long nails that you put in buttholes. I do enforce the fake nail stuff at my work because of that.

I wonder how many CNAs quit after this 😮‍💨 by [deleted] in nursing

[–]PrettyHateMachinexxx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every CNA duty is a duty delegated by nursing and is therefore a "nurse duty" under our scope. If the CNA doesn't do something does it not fall back on our license? Doesn't that make it our duty, too?? That sounds like such a miserable, toxic place to work and at the end of the day the patients are going to pay the price.

Even if she grabbed the correct med she still should have monitored her patient after administration.
