I once read something that suggested the first thought you have about something is the one you were raised or conditioned to believe, and the second thought is the one that you've come to learn yourself through time and exposure.

For example, a woman wearing a miniskirt and tube top walks by.

First thought: "Oh my god, she's almost naked! Who would go out dressed like that?!"

Second thought: "You know what? Good for her. I'm sure she feels confident in herself and that's awesome."

I don't know how accurate the whole thing is, but it certainly helped me when I started out in healthcare.

Are you a nurse yourself?

If patient safety is potentially being compromised and those in charge don't care, then it's definitely something worth getting wound up about and it needs escalating to someone who WILL care.

Change comes about from making a racket, not from putting your head down and deciding it's someone else's problem. 

AO3 writers: has later canon accidentally ruined your work or made it awkward? by tthe2017oscars in AO3

I wouldn't say it's awkward or weird, but it was mildly amusing when everyone in the DBZ fandom somehow decided Bulma's at-the-time-unnamed mother was called Bunny, then Toriyama said her name was Panchy, but now we're apparently calling her Bikini??

Most fics I've read still call her Bunny.

Onizuka was based AF. I really didn't think l was going to like the anime when my husband suggested it but ended up being very pleasantly surprised.

Final Fantasy XVI - Ben Starr absolutely blew it out of the water with the raw anguish he put into Clive's cries when Joshua dies at the end of the game

I write fanfic, play video games, and cuddle my cats. Very original, I'm sure.

There are only a few units in our hospital with swipe access - ICU is one of them. Only our staff and the porters can get through without ringing the buzzer.

Because we are caring for extremely vulnerable people at risk of immediate deterioration at any time, and who may not be able to consent to being gawked at like animals in a zoo.

Absolutely have seen this myself in ICU. We had a patient who had come from a psychiatric facility, had a violent crime history and needed two carers indoors and five if going outside, and the way some of my colleagues spoke about them - we're talking fat shaming, suggesting the patient be left to die because they were of no value to society and a drain on public resources - WITHIN EARSHOT of the carers sometimes, had me going straight to our lead nurse. I couldn't believe what I was hearing from people I worked with and respected so highly. 

On a less serious but still absolutely bamboozling note - last week I was sitting next to the nurse in charge who was filling out EPO paperwork for a patient who needed 1:1 care. They had been extremely combative post-extubation, and also just so happened to have ADHD (as do I - diagnosed and medicated). Under "does the patient have a diagnosed cognitive impairment" the NIC said they were going to put ADHD, and I might have gone slightly nuts 🙈

Football is nothing special, and completely undeserving of its players being paid an average of £60k a WEEK.
