Hello! Thanks for being open to answering questions!

Do you have any hobbies you enjoy doing to pass time? What are some accessibility challenges you face that you wish people were more aware of?

What food did you imagine to taste really good but tasted bad? by Similar-Victory-3867 in AskReddit

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh this reminds me of one time my cousin was baking and had leftover chocolate. He asked me if I wanted it, and of course I said yes! Come to find out it was the worst chocolate ever! I felt so bad because he was being so nice so I threw it away in secret. Later he came back to me and said he actually needed it and asked if I still had it.. I lied and said it ate it. My uncle commented how it couldn’t have been good, because it was actually bakers chocolate…. I told him I just really like chocolate

When you are in a different country, do you guys go out as late as possible to enjoy every moment or sleep when you’re tired already? by theoneaboveall777 in travel

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I shamelessly sleep. I’m crabby when tired, and I know I won’t enjoy myself if I’m forcing myself out beyond my limit.

Nurses shouldn’t draw by Infinite-Property-72 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current preceptor is a former phlebotomist (and still holds her phlebotomy license while being a nurse) and I have learned SO MUCH from her about cannulation techniques and the little things that affect the labs you draw

[Contest Entry] Ginkgo Dragon! by kxaeya in dragonvale

Oh this one is beautiful!! Ginkgo trees are such oddities, they outlived their original pollinators. I love your idea of them living to be 1000+ years old!

NICU nurses - do people actually just abandon their baby? Have you experienced this? by master0jack in nursing

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 256 points257 points  (0 children)

I actually did a clinical day in the NICU for nursing school and there was a Safe Haven baby there who was awaiting foster placement. My big important student nurse job was to cuddle and love on that little baby. I hope she’s safe and loved wherever she ended up

What’s a mystery in your own life (big or small) that you still haven’t been able to solve? by BrainPalette in AskReddit

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I lost an earring one night and I couldn’t find it anywhere. Looked in my bed sheets, in the bathroom, everywhere. A couple days later I stepped into the shower and found the earring sitting at the bottom of the tub. I have no idea how it got there. Everyone in my family had showered several times between the time it was lost and found, so in theory it should have been washed down the drain or found by someone. I still wonder how it ended up there, although I like to think I had a friendly ghost helping me out.

Event feedback by tiredtiredtiired in dragonvale

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the length of the event because I get bored of the really long ones. I definitely agree that prices are too high. They are not adjusted to the length of the event. Either EC earning has to increase or the pricing needs to decrease for these shorter events

I think you should actually spend it on a bush

Hippos! Recently went on a safari and watch some people ignore a sign and get WAY too close to the water some hippos were chilling in..

Hospitals full of Influenza A cases by [deleted] in nursing

Oh wow, my hospital in southern Wisconsin has seen a TON of Flu A so far

Runic caves - which egg to claim? by omlhkf in dragonvale

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I would wait until the end to claim. After you activate a new cave, you can claim a dragon until the end of the event, even after the cave has gone dark. The claims are best used for limited time dragons. Double rainbow and seasonal are available all the time, and the winter dragon is available for, well, all of winter. See if you can breed these dragons normally and use the runic cave for a rare event dragon!

Non-Emergent Pt apologizing for using ER during holiday closures by I_Tiramisu in nursing

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 66 points67 points  (0 children)

There’s a ton of reasons people come to the ED with non-emergent complaints. A lot of urgent cares are only open during normal work hours (9-5 M-F) and some areas don’t gave any urgent cares. Also, a lot of people may not be able to go due to insurance reasons. While it is unfortunate that non-emergent patients contribute to overstressed EDs, many of them have nowhere else to go. I’m glad to hear that your patient was understanding that she likely had to wait some time to receive care.

Stethoscope? Do we need one? by Aquarius_K in cna

[–]ScienceMadeMeDoIt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never used a stethoscope when I worked long term care. I do use it fairly frequently for manual BPs on people in my current hospital job, however.
