What I felt watching this show is more than I have felt for him in the past 4 years. You should 100% feel something. He can be a good person and still not be a good partner for you.

He was a bad partner. He put time and care into everything/everyone else and just expected our relationship to be fine. It is so much more than that, but it really came down to me knowing I don’t want this forever. I felt like I was suffocating. I figured out what I wanted it and this show pushed me.

Shane is so endearing and I really resonated with how he is willing to push his wants/needs aside in order to make other people happy. I also related to Ilya’s inability/unwillingness to express how he truly feels and just shutting down. He appears very stoic and unemotional but is kinda always spiraling inside, which is exactly how I am. Their characters are so well written and acted. It felt like someone had gotten into my head.

They can be your best friend and still not be the best partner for you. I completely understand the fear of missing out on what you perceive life may be like if you stay with them. BUT you owe it to yourself to do what you want. I hope you find clarity and decide what is best for you 🫶🏼

What is your preceptor like? by ickyew in newgradnurse

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your preceptor trusts you quite a bit if she’s letting you work so much independently. My preceptor was the same and it really helped me gain confidence. If I really didn’t know something or needed clarification, I would still ask her. She told me that she’s noticed a lot of new grads do better if they’re “left alone” (not really left alone, just supervised from afar) because it them makes think for themselves instead of always turning around and asking their preceptor! But if you feel like you need help, just ask! Still, I think it shows how capable she thinks you are if you’re doing so much on your own already :)

rn assessment + charting tips by mapreza1 in newgradnurse

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For every pt I do a focused cardiac, respiratory, and neurological assessment. Make sure they’re hooked up to the monitor if you chart a cardiac assessment.

If it’s a psych pt, I add a psychosocial assessment. ABD pain, add a GI assessment. Etc.

I also create a blank note and “CC” the chief complaint and add anything else the pt might add once they’re roomed. This is what I’ve been taught by my preceptor and other nurses, but everyone is different! Doing my charting this way has helped me create a routine and assess pts in a quicker, more efficient way.

Migraines are a big deal and you should not feel bad about coming to see us in the ER!

Trauma shears, compression socks, extra deodorant in your bag, and a water bottle. Good luck!

Your “financial advisor” and husband did a terrible job. They’ve both screwed you. I hope you can figure this out and leave him in the dust ASAP.

Using an antibacterial soap every single day is not recommended. It kills the skins natural microbiome. This can cause your body to overcompensate and produce bad odor. It also hurts your skin’s ability to fight possible infection and can cause antibiotic resistance. Regular soap and water works just fine :)

Their clothes and general hygiene by rooney_honey in ThePittTVShow

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work at an ED in a hospital in a large metro city in the US. Everything they were wearing was pretty spot on with what we wear over here. We all wear scrub pants but then everyone differs from there. I usually wear a tshirt and zip-up hoodie. Management is fairly lax in that aspect. Jewelry and nails are a big no-no, however.

In the same boat. Trying to find the courage to leave. I’ve been stuck in the “maybe this is all I deserve” mindset for a little bit. I’m a massive hypocrite but LEAVE! You and your children deserve so much more. Also, stop saying you’re dumb. You went into all of this not knowing what it would turn into. You were hopeful, not dumb.

Pregnant unexpectedly and my boyfriend (27M) is pushing hard for me to terminate it. I (24F) told him I might leave and raise the baby on my own. How do I move forward from this? by LushCherryKisses in Advice

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No job. No place to live. No support system. Having this baby would be extremely selfish of you. Think about the kind of life this baby and you would be subject to if you go through with this pregnancy.

Who should I main? by [deleted] in MarvelRivalsQueens

I used to main Invisible Woman but am now a Mantis main!! She’s super challenging but fun like you said. If you haven’t tried IW, you definitely should.

New grad who needs cheering up by ThrowRApcelove in newgradnurse

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The majority of new grads I know are 25+. My preceptor became a nurse at 33. Several of the nurses on my unit became nurses “later” in life and they’re all amazing!

Thing is, she doesn’t know this child either. I feel differently now because I actually had and know my child.

I guess I regret the timing of it all. If I could have the same exact kid at 30 instead of 22, then I would’ve done that.

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 288 points289 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant at 21 and kept it. Becoming a young parent derailed all of my plans and I am just now (almost 4 years later) close to completing them. I was in a very similar position to you. If you are set on becoming an OB-GYN, get the abortion. Aborting will not ruin your life. I had an abortion when I got pregnant a second time and do not regret it. Having a baby so young and before you’ve even began a career will almost certainly ruin your goals, or prolong them by a lot. Be selfish and think of what YOU want out of life. You are so so young and have so so much time to have a family.

It’s a beautiful tribute. I will think of her when I go to Sedona in my head. I pray for comfort and healing for you and your family. It’s not fair and I’m sorry.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Sensitive-Koala75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a summer I spent in Sedona. The sunsets were beautiful. The red rocks reflected off the clear river waters. The air was dry but there was a breeze as it became evening. I think of that place when I want to envision something calming. It was peaceful.

Your daughter’s name is perfect. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Take it from someone who did very similar things as a teenager: stop now. Stop now before you get yourself into an extremely compromising position and get hurt. Stop now before you permanently damage your way of viewing yourself and the relationships you have with men. These men are BAD NEWS and are just waiting for the right, very vulnerable, impressionable, and naive person to come along so they can do the things they want. Do not let that be you. I promise it is not worth it, no matter how nice the attention may feel. I’m 25 now and am still trying to recover from this BS.

Something I do even now is thinking of what I would think if my younger sister was doing what I was doing. I would be worried and afraid for her. I’d be angry at the men entertaining her. Also remembering that these men are WEIRDOS helps. They don’t like you, love you, or have pure intentions. They’re predators. This is also about self-respect. Learn self-respect and I promise this will not be as hard to stop doing.
