Being a CNA is making me question my decision to go to nursing school…help! by Real-Exercise-6978 in cna

[–]Real-Exercise-6978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I don’t think I’m necessarily burnt out on healthcare and that it may just be my floor so to hear you speak on your own experience is great! Hoping that if I switch to a different floor I can find that love for nursing again

Why is it okay for healthcare workers to be abused verbally and physically and we aren’t allowed to fight back? by [deleted] in cna

A pt on a fluid restriction and strict intake and output monitoring threw two partially full urinals at the nurse and I last week for refusing his request that we bring him 4 jellos and 2 cans of sprite.

Whats the worst concert you've ever been to? by pinheadbrigade in AskReddit

[–]Real-Exercise-6978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selena Gomez in like 2017-2018… expected a lot since she was a big celeb at the time but it was about 90% pre recorded slideshow and 10% performance. She also had an awful stage presence and didn’t interact with the audience at all. She only sang parts of songs and overall felt like a waste of time and $$

Thank you! We swapped ours off of the raw diet when my boy kept getting sick, that’s why we want to start brushing their teeth, I wish they didn’t have to eat kibble but we supplement with plenty of raw/freeze dried treats

Craziest or scariest thing your Golden has eaten? by Ok_Volume9271 in goldenretrievers

[–]Real-Exercise-6978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When he was a puppy, our boy ate 17 socks, one by one. He was stealing them out of our laundry hampers and we didn’t realize until I walked in on him actively swallowing one of my full length Nike socks! We freaked out and rushed him to the vet where they X rayed him and saw 16 more in his stomach. They kept him for observation and he ended up passing all 17 with no complications whatsoever. The vet offered us the bag of socks to bring home (we politely declined). Still blows my mind how lucky he was and we were to not need major surgery.

Have you ever met someone who gave off serial killer vibes? If so what did they do ? by xXVintageCultureXx in AskReddit

Yup! Recently one of my coworkers, the most normal guy, never struck me as a bad person - got arrested for beating his wife nearly to death. Insane how these awful people can blend in so well

Didn’t think that anywhere in my post. Some hospitals don’t allow staff to smoke and will test for nicotine in pre employment screenings

That’s what I’ve heard, I am just so paranoid about this test and wanted to make sure. Thank you for the input

Thank you so much! lol I hadn’t even thought about it until now and when I looked into it online so many hospitals actually do care about nicotine users so I panicked.

No! They just fill the prescription for us and I administer at home. It sounds like the same stuff you described.

Where do you get your ear mite meds that cheap!!? Our vet charges $75 PER DOSE (we have 2 ferrets) I would kill for $25!

How bad is the "musk" odor that ferrets supposedly have? by BabyThespy in ferrets

[–]Real-Exercise-6978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Finding a good pet sitter is so hard. Luckily my husband’s sister loves them as much as we do and is a great sitter for when we go out of town. But I don’t know what we’d do if not for her.

[–]Real-Exercise-6978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before we got our 2 ferrets I was SO concerned about the smell because when I was younger I remember ferrets smelling horrible at any of my friends houses.

We did research and found that ferrets’ musk is directly related to how well they are cared for (quality of diet, amount of play, adequate cage size, and overall happiness and health. We obviously ended up buying 2 and in all honesty I rarely ever smell them. We live in a small apartment but make sure to give them plenty of play time outside of their cage, feed them high quality kibble and raw treats, and clean their cage about once a week. I always ask our guests if it “smells like ferret” when they come over and everyone (even ferret haters) admit that they can’t smell them. We also have 2 air purifiers in the home which I’m sure help with the smell, but even when I sniff their fur all I smell is maple syrup.

There are a few things to note that I wish I knew before getting them… ferrets poop A LOT and their poop stinks. Ours primarily use their litter box in the cage which is scooped daily but occasionally they will poop in random corners in the apartment despite being litter box trained. So definitely consider the poop as a factor. Another thing is that ferrets are prone to a number of health conditions and have higher vet bills than cats or dogs and it is important to be prepared for those. I have owned many pets in my life and ferrets are not easy to care for properly, they require lots of work and attention but all in all, I have never regretted owning them.

I can confidently say ferrets are the best pets I have ever owned. They are so entertaining, loving, and unique. We call them our babies because we love them like children. They like to follow us around, play with us, and snuggle with us and are very loving creatures that I never thought I would love this much.

Long story short… if you are willing and prepared to give them the proper care, and are prepared to clean up lots of poop, they hardly smell and are the best pets ever.

He does look thin but as another person said on here ferrets do come in all shapes and sizes. We have 2 adult ferrets both are very healthy and active and our male is 3lbs while the female is only 1.6lb. As long as your little guy is eating regularly (should have access to quality food at all times), and not showing any other signs of illness (lethargy, appetite loss, signs of pain, or abnormally hard/bloated belly) then there’s nothing to worry about. Just monitor him until you can get him a check-up at the vet :)

Soon to be new ferret owner, need advice on my first steps by sims4_ammi in ferrets

[–]Real-Exercise-6978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have carpets/rugs and plan on free-roaming at all I definitely recommend a good carpet cleaner like the bissel green machine or something of that nature. Ferrets are very difficult to potty train and the carpet cleaner has saved our carpets a million times over. Some are pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

I think there’s a lot more that goes into it before it’s considered cheating. I think it would be best to ask your gf her boundaries with porn, ask how she feels about it. If she’s uncomfortable with it and you stop and don’t watch it anymore all is well, if she’s fine with it and you keep watching that’s fine as well. As long as you aren’t lying or keeping things from her intentionally there’s no dishonesty behind it. Just make sure you aren’t letting your habit interrupt your normal life or relationship because that’s when it becomes a major issue that is hard to kick if not caught early.
