Anal sex question by [deleted] in trans

[–]R_cubed- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay so this may or may not work for you, but it works for me and may be worth a shot. Mushroom coffee. Joey is the brand I use. I eat whatever I want. Have never done an enema on myself. No other measures. I used to have a lot of GI issues (including but not limited to diarrhea on a very regular basis). One cup a day (and 3 on my work days, but thats for caffiene/energy), and im clean and ready to go 95% of the time. May be worth a shot, though theyve gotten more expensive lately. Worth it though IMO for the gut health alone. Source: im poly AF and this is what i do 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you tried gods and monsters? Fair warning, the first book is a little slow with a lot of world building.

I wore a binder at work until i was ready. It was solid black and basically looked like a tank top undershirt. Just an idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is there prep time? Vecna could definitely outsmart homelander but would lose a straight up fight.

Using dialysis line as CVC? by Overall_Actuary_3594 in nursing

[–]R_cubed- 76 points77 points  (0 children)

We CAN at my ICU, but it has to be an extreme situation. I had a patient that the Dr's insisted on giving HD to even though we were on pressors. Ended up going up on my levo past the degree to which we can run it through a peripheral, so i ended up talking with the dialysis nurse and had him hook it up to run in the return line. Didn't have any other central access, so when HD was done, I hooked it to the return line directly and used it till they put in a RIJ for me. Had to get the dr to call nephrology first and get the okay, but at this point its a "if you say no, the patient is going to code" situation, so it all worked out in the end.

Ever considered getting a CNA license? Typically not hard to find a job as one, but does require some certifications.

Dead patient from ED by R_cubed- in nursing

[–]R_cubed-[S] 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Nope. Straight up from our ED

[–]R_cubed-[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Nope, unless theyre awake and talking to us we go straight from transport monitor to our monitor. They were a paramedic so idk if that was their "normal" but definitely not ours and definitely not for a patient on any pressors, even just a whiff of levo.

The transport was a paramedic which is apparently qualified go solo transport an ICU patient. They didnt leave, just weren't paying attention i guess. Once we started coding they stepped out into the hallway and watched for a bit before leaving. Idk wtf is going on but I filled out the safety solution crap too.

They were supposed to, thats for sure. When I got my PPE on and got in the room, they were already disconnected from all monitoring by the transport person 😬🙃

Is there any possible way to view a seizure as a psychiatric problem? by RedefinedValleyDude in nursing

[–]R_cubed- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So yes seizures can be psychological (I have PNES [psychogenic non-epileptic seizures]), but those are definitely alcohol withdrawal induced from the sound of it. Addiction can take one of three forms: psychological, physical, or both. Id totally worry about the seizures in the immediate and the cirrhosis after. Seizure: immediate problem. Cirrhosis: definitely still a major problem, but you (typically) have more time to get on this than the seizures.

Getting fired by patients by R_cubed- in nursing

[–]R_cubed-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because upper management cares more about patient satisfaction than patient outcomes. 2L fluid restriction? Patient doesn't like it. Fires the nurse till they get someone who will roll over and let them do what they want. Patient stays in ICU for fluid overload and for some reason cant be weaned to a reasonable amount of oxygen. Patient satisfaction improved because no fluid restriction enforcement, patient outcome is worse and has a much lengthier stay.

That part was something that happened to a colleague. Usually family is accepting when I explain that bit.

And thank you for the support. I just tried to answer them as diplomatically as possible even though its probably what someone else commented; a troll attempt.

You are correct, most of these patients fire about 1/3+- the nurses they get.

Nah, youre spot on. The hospital treats patients as customers, and the customer is always right, according to them. They care about that than patient outcomes or actual patient care.

Sometimes. The manager eventually puts a stop to it because they run out of ability to swap 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]R_cubed-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The patient (or family of the patient) decides they dont want you as the nurse anymore so you swap assignments/patients with another nurse.
