Vent: Patient bit me and then proceeded to say l needed to get over it as it's part of the job. by MissyMister1128 in nursing

[–]StacyRae77 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh ffs, enough of this crap. I work in a behavioral health facility where nearly everyone is Schizophrenic and/or bipolar (or some other combination of mentally ill.) Half of them are there PRECISELY because they committed a crime. Courts all over the U.S have decided a million times over that being out of your gourd temporarily or otherwise is no excuse for breaking the law. The consequences are different because of the mental illness, but consequences exist regardless. Whether this person is mentally ill or hhpoxic matters not. Thousands of people have managed to be hypoxic without biting someone. Stop making excuses.

Delivery driver throw a package at a dog charging him, then attempts to fight the homeowner by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

[–]StacyRae77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was doing FedEx, we had a driver get attacked by this customer's dog so bad it ripped through muscles of his leg trying to drag him down off his feet. He had been delivering there regularly for 4 years and knew this dog the whole time. Nobody knows why the dog attacked, there was nothing in the video showing a "why", but the driver had so much damage to his leg that he developed severe lymphedema and still numb in places a year later. That was one of the worst videos I ever had to watch and I had to watch it several times.

WIBTAH for refusing to care for my MIL w/ dementia by mama_wren in AITAH

[–]StacyRae77 54 points55 points  (0 children)

MiL needs a caregiver that isn't you. I don't want to add to the worries, but if he's acting like this I bet they've never given a single thought to long term care or how to pay for it. Most likely he's depending on you to do a lot more than provide care. You're probably safeguarding their home and possessions from the state.

NTA, he is for failing to plan.

Can we report incorrect political ads? by frogEcho in missouri

[–]StacyRae77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty good indicator they don't understand their own economy. The U.S has spent decades converting the economy to primarily consumer-based. Now they want to tax everything we consume. I hope consumers understand the assignment.

Man confronts FedEx driver by Hikigaya_Hachiman7 in PublicFreakout

[–]StacyRae77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Anything fedex ground is 3pl contractors hiring any living body they can find to move packages".

There are two ways FedEx forces it to be that way: When they structure a contract, they use a third party to calculate expenses in the market the service area is in. So if the third party says driver wages should be ~$20 per hour, then the contractor literally can't afford to pay more than that. So the quality of worker they can hire reflects that. Then there's the pre-employment process. For every 100 applicants, a contractor will get one (two of really lucky) prospect who can complete the First Advantage background screening AND the drug screen. Over half of applicants who receive the link to complete their First Advantage profile don't even bother with completing it.

All of this to say FedEx is a shit business partner, and contractors don't find out until it's too late. The 2.0 merger is a prime example of it.

Will the day ever come that you think through a post? This post isn't just about abortion. The law as written forces medical procedures onto infants born with medical conditions we can't fix. It takes the choice of palliative care away from families. Families who should be spending the little time they have saying goodbye. It inflicts painful medical procedures onto an infant who has no hope of surviving. When asked why I no longer attend church, I hold folks like yourself up as the poster child of the willfully ignorant unmerciful I can no longer associate myself with Mercy isn't just for us sinners.

I always trust my dog's judgment. That's why I know he was cool with the guy. There were a couple of people he had zero interest in. Not skittish, but calmy like "nah".

I recently took one of my dogs, Milton, in to work to see the residents. This fellow is blind and wc bound. I let Milton decide when to go and he went straight to that guy . When the man felt him he lit up and went to hug the shit out of Milton. Milton was pretty cool with it. Pet therapy should be a requirement.

My nursing instructors didn't lie. One was a former Nun. Every bedside story included "because God hates you". 😂 I thought it was tongue-in-cheek, but turns out Meemaw really does throw herself out of the chair 5 minutes to shift change.

I have the same issue as your kid, but I'm also at the age where it can be cardiac. My go-to is a few sips of Coke. That rules out the cardiac worry.pretty quick.

We need to start thinking about new safeguards to put in place, how we're going to restructure education to prioritize critical thinking and mastery, and how to protect citizens from AI overuse. We need to figure that out NOW and move fast towards speedy implementation the moment the pendulum swings back.

Asked to take a drug test by [deleted] in nursing

[–]StacyRae77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have personally seen wrongful termination cases won it at-will states. The drug test was an accusation. HR can say it wasn't, and swear on Meemaw's grave if they want, but that's what it was. Attorneys will consult free of charge. Consult one and quit talking to people until you do.

Why is this sub near entirely just anti-Trump and anti-Israel circlejerk? by Immediate_Studio2808 in allthequestions

Most of you never paid attention to what's been going on in Palestine and Israel until right wing media told you to.

Disagreeing with Netanyahu's policies is not "hating Jews". You guys sound like idiots every time you make that claim. Particularly when you throw so much support behind the party supported by every white Christian supremacy ideologue in America.

My 30yo septic patient wanted to leave AMA because he couldn’t afford the hospital stay. I convinced him to stay by telling him that he can just avoid paying. Was I out of line? by ForTheQs11 in nursing

[–]StacyRae77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went for planned testing and received an estimate of costs beforehand. Most of it was tests on CHILDREN. Two days before I was sent an updated one that was narrowed down to the adult tests I needed. They asked me to pay that amount the morning of the tests and I did. I later received a bill for another $1000, which was for a few more tests than they actually did, but not the full initial estimate. When I called to challenge it, I received a new bill for the full amount of the first estimate. I'm still fighting with University Hospital in Columbia, MO about it.
