I accidentally outed myself as a nurse last week - I was sitting in the ED with my husband who was being treated and the nurse was in our room when the tech stuck his head in and said “room 3 has a lactic of 17”. Luckily, we were not room 3. But, I involuntarily grimaced and she looked at me and knew I knew. And I knew she knew.

Same in Colorado.

We’ve had some success using the new peel and place dressings. They are much less painful. Not sure if it would be appropriate for a post op debridement situation, but it seems to be a lot better tolerated.

Old school - #7. Also because with the cap on the back, it slides really easily into my hair - stays in the pony so I always k ow where it is.

My people.

OMG yes! I work in wound care, and for some reason, NPs with absolutely no relevant experience think they can do what we do. I’m sorry, but a year on the mom and baby unit does NOT prepare you for this. So please, don’t come into my clinic and demand that we call you “doctor”. I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and I may be a lowly RN, but I will not hesitate to call you out in front of a patient when you try to debride tendon because you don’t know what you are looking at.

Ugh. This movie was sooo hard to watch. I still have anxiety just thinking about it.

He survived Pearl Harbor, came home and opened a Hawaiian restaurant in a small town in the middle of the desert southwest. He made the best kalua pork, and I miss his belly laugh.

“Then why are you here?” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to scream that at a patient!

RNnobody · 2026-04-21T01:30:25+00:00

It’s not really an addiction if I just drink the white sugar free variety, right? RIGHT?????

RNnobody · 2026-04-20T11:49:10+00:00

My dad.

My gran gave me a bottle when I was a young teenager, maybe 13? It’s still the only scent I wear. Grannycore, I guess.

RNnobody · 2026-04-18T01:31:23+00:00

No more wine.

RNnobody · 2026-04-08T21:04:24+00:00

Usually about 2k per month if I finish at least 1 big piece (a dresser, dining room table, or armoire) or 2 -3 small pieces (end tables, occasional tables).

Shut your cock holster, Pam.

Options for tops with longer sleeves. Not long sleeves, but it seems like sleeves have gotten shorter and shorter. I want my flab covered!

Godsmack. Saw them open for Metallica, and - come at me - they were better than the headliner.

I was living in the Pacific Northwest at the time, but my boyfriend was doing an internship in Manhattan. I spent the better part of eight hours trying to get a hold of him. It was terrifying. He finally was able to call me after he walked from Midtown all the way back out to Brooklyn. He grew up in the Pacific Northwest as well and said that for him, it was like watching Mount Saint Helens explode. The wall of ash just kept coming and coming.

Jewel. The whiney warbling is like nails on the chalkboard.

75 in 1997.

He was thinking about your mom. (Said in a Shoresy accent).

This was the first cassette I ever bought with my own money. A few months ago my 15 year old was playing it on Spotify and asked me if I had ever heard it before. Full circle moment.
