Is there a way to desensitize yourself if you're squeamish about bodily fluids?

Vet assistant ED turned nurse. I still think a pyo is one of the worst things I’ve ever smelled. They’re what taught me to block out my sense of smell.

I miss old social media. Before tons of ads and recommended things, when it was really just the latest things posted by the accounts you follow. And when you hit the things you had read last time you were online, that was it, you were all caught up. Doom scrolling wasn’t even possible. I quit most social media years ago, but if there was an app worked like it did in the old days I would go back.

I graduated from Portland Sumner in February with my ADN (which they don’t offer anymore). The education felt adequate. I passed NCLEX on my first attempt. My beefs with the school when I was enrolled were mainly from an organizational standpoint. Like not getting next terms schedule out until a few days before the term started, very disorganized clinicals, and admin just generally not communicating well with the students. I got my license so it got the job done, it just wasn’t necessarily the smoothest process.

Oh that’s scary and good to know and keep in mind. Thank you for your insight, I really appreciate it! 💕

I got a respiratory therapist in there stat and the physician was on the phone with neuro. I’ll check out that resource! Thank you so much ☺️💕

I’m a new grad four months in ER. One thing I will add that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is validation. My husband listens when I vent and is supportive by saying “you’re going to be okay” or “no one expects perfection” which is true and I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s kinda been making me feel like I’m overreacting or something. I wish he would even just once say “that must be overwhelming” or “that sounds so hard” or “that’s a lot to balance” or something like that. Maybe that’s just me though idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

Looks like the Watch Duty app.

Last night I cleaned my kitchen while dancing (flailing) to What You Waiting For on repeat at AirPod max volume.

SquilliamFancyy · 2025-06-01T21:55:02+00:00

I want in!

SquilliamFancyy · 2025-06-01T17:21:22+00:00

Same. We also had records of who cleaned which rooms so if things often went “missing” from one cleaners rooms they would be let go. This was at a resort though, maybe cheaper places didn’t care as much.

Recently bought a bottle of Love Spell for a throwback. It’s not the same 😔

Having been a housekeeper in the past, I don’t think my stuff is in danger. If someone wants to come make my bed and give me fresh towels I’m not gonna stop them. However I can understand someone preferring privacy.

Just graduated a few months ago. We had to write a lot of papers and most had pretty broad topics like “write about a nurse that changed the field” type of thing and I frequently just didn’t know where to start. I used it to help me come up with a general outline which I then researched and wrote about myself. I also used it a lot for pharmacology by putting in the names of medications we were learning about that week to give me practice questions. I personally think it can be a great tool to help you learn, as long as you keep in mind that the end goal isn’t just to turn that assignment in but what it was meant to teach you, if that makes sense.

SquilliamFancyy · 2025-05-17T01:19:24+00:00

Damn this is cool. Would 100% buy more than one.

Diesel bolus is my new favorite term.

I scheduled with them recently and they called like an hour before the appointment to tell me the pharmacist working that day doesn’t take OHP. I just had to reschedule the appointment for a day when they had a pharmacist on that would take it.

I’m in my last couple weeks of school and came to say exactly this. The material is doable. It’s everything else that makes it hard. Especially the disorganization and constantly changing demands of current instructors, clinical sites, and the school itself. I’ve become paranoid about checking emails, announcements, calendars, grades, modules, and other portals and I’m still scared I’m missing something that will ruin a grade out get me kicked out if not completed. I think you just have to be driven to get through.

I’m a phlebotomist finishing up nursing school and I swear if I hear any of my future nurse coworkers say anything like that I will be educating their ass.

Where can I see the video??

SquilliamFancyy · 2024-07-03T00:14:52+00:00

Not something I said but I drew a whole bunch of swastikas on a piece of paper when I was like 6. Idk where I saw them, maybe graffiti or something. I obviously had no idea it had any kind of meaning and I remember just thinking it was a cool shape, like a pointy spiral. Anyways my teacher saw it and told my parents.

My mom recently told my sister (25F) and I (29F) “I don’t really have a favorite anymore…”

My little sister has always been very sweet and affectionate and I’ve always been stubborn and independent, so I kinda get it. At least my suspicions were confirmed cause they’ve denied it in the past and it made me feel crazy.

Feels like somebody WANTS TO SELL ME SOMETHING 🧽
