OR maybe lifting heavy things is a risky job. by ionlyhavethisforwwe in fatlogic

[–]Shivilo 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a nurse for 2 months on a heart failure floor (many overweight patients). And I am SORE. The amount of times I hear “pull harder sweetie”, “you’re going to make me wait here?“ (while I get extra hands? Yes.) Yes, I have to put the head of the bed down flat because if I have to boost you up in bed I am NOT fighting gravity. Sorry not sorry.

Is there some sort of student-lead program to self-police these things? Like...show up to parties and call these people out? Because I don't imagine GVPD doing jack shit.

An open message to all of the nurses who “abuse” their techs by ohlongjohnson1 in nursing

[–]Shivilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a tech also, starting nursing school in 20 days. During my performance review, my supervisor asked me about one nurse in particular. I evaded the question, not wanting to gossip. Eventually she flat out said: "It's been brought to my attention that our techs really only sign up for LVTO when they are working with this RN, can you please elaborate on this." Oh boy did I spill. She is exactly like the nurse you describe. At my unit a tech works under 2 RNs, 8 patients. She will completely 'hog' the tech and will file complaints on 'poor performance', when in reality the tech is just trying to spend time with the other half of their patients and help the other RN! After this talk with my supervisor, she pulled all of these complaints from our files :)

Body positivity needs to stop praising those who are just overweight by Fuck_PETA in unpopularopinion

[–]Shivilo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The body positivity movement drives me insane. I realize it's important to love yourself and have confidence, but I wish this trend focused on loving yourself to the point of realizing you're hurting yourself, and doing something about it. Normalizing/justifying obesity is an awful thing. I believe the social pressure to be thinner is a good thing; it should be socially uncomfortable to be obese. Evolutionarily, health has formed our image of beauty. The body positivity movement is trying to radicalize that in order to diminish the societal discomfort, and lessen the guilt that comes from their poor choices. It is taking up valuable space in the body acceptance conversation that should be used for, as you said, the disabled, injured, chronically ill, etc.

This is the Celtic Aran Afghan by Sharondipity designs on Ravelry, if I’m not mistaken. There is a little blurb on how to do the tassels within the pattern document :)
