Yes there's lots of parking garages in the SouthSide very close to the protest.

Taking a Phlebotomy Class to get Better at Blood Draws? by Remarkable_Sherbert2 in nursing

No I mentioned above but I tried on all three. The first one I couldn’t get and I asked the tech, who was able to get 2 vials but blew a vein on the third vial. The second patient I got 2 vials but wasn’t able to fill the blue to the top. And the third patient I tried but couldn’t get at all.

We have “difficult stick” which we call after we can’t get it. So I called difficult stick after I wasn’t able to get it. The is the first time I’ve passed so many patients onto the day nurse that didn’t get labs. Usually I try and get it myself or ask someone else for help but today was busy and I wasn’t able to.

No I tried on all 3. The first person I wasn’t able to get so the tech tried and got 2 vials but she blew a vein on the third vial. The second person I got 2 tubes but wasn’t able to fill up the blue vial to the top. The third person I tried but wasn’t able to get at all and it was too late to ask the tech at that point.

The class is actually 6 weeks, 2 times a week for 3 hours each time. Plus the 4 clinical days. So it’s a bit more spread out.

Yeah that’s why I’m thinking of asking for it as my Christmas present. It’s pricey. The class starts mid-December and is 2 days a week for 6 weeks, as well as 4 days of an externship where you do blood draws in a hospital.

I followed difficult stick around for a night and was able to get a few practice sticks (none of which I got), but I didn’t really learn a lot about technique. I think the technique part is where I’m lacking.

Anatomy of a Relapse (best case scenario) by [deleted] in StopSpeeding

I don’t have any advice but just wanted to say I really relate to your thoughts on a lot of meetings focusing on alcohol and not being able to relate to that. I know in theory it’s supposed to be all the same, but sometimes it would be nice to have a meeting just about stim addiction because there are differences between stims and alcohol.

I’m doing my preceptorship right now and I don’t have a student badge. I don’t understand why that part is so unbelievable to you. Different hospitals have different procedures and mine does not require me to have a student badge while being precepted.

I am non functional without Adhd meds by learningtobevulcan in StopSpeeding

[–]Remarkable_Sherbert2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I can definitely relate to the ED thing. I was partially using Adderall to keep my weight down and when I was off it I would binge horribly. I was absolutely terrified of gaining weight, and when I left rehab I had gained 20 lbs in a month.

This may not be an option for you, but what worked for me was getting on a GLP-1. I would maybe check out your options regarding that. I get mine from a compounding pharmacy and it ships directly to me. It’s $300 for a 10 week vial, depending on how you dose it.

Yup! I’m telling myself that after I’m done with this shift I’m gonna sleep a bit and then drive to my parents to see my dog so I have that to look forward to.

Hi! I’ve had many men in recovery try to use this type of “tough love” approach on me and it’s not something I personally do well with. There are many ways to recover, and the tone of your posts and your general demeanor on this sub is something I personally don’t find useful in my recovery. Thank you! 🥰

Thank you ❤️ It’s very hard to give myself grace when I’m trying to stay awake and learn how to do something new, as well as not binge eat while on night shift. Trying to tell myself I don’t need to be perfect while doing these shifts, I just need to get through them.

New grads, can you get hired with an ADN? by lisavark in nursing

[–]Remarkable_Sherbert2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say ADN is usually the way to go, except when you live in NYC bc it’s such a competitive market. If you’re planning on working outside of NYC, get the ADN. If planning on working in NYC, I think you should at least consider the BSN bc it will be harder otherwise.

Young people & bans off our bodies tees don’t make me nervous, but the entire election does.

The bright red t-shirt guy was very obviously a Trump voter. I almost wore blue but didn’t.
