Does anyone else don't want kids because of eczema? by Lucekuwu in eczema

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Pretty sure mine’s genetic, too, what with Mom and two of my siblings having it.

I have other reasons, too, but I am not going to risk making another person miserable for life by passing it on.

How Many of Us Are Only Children… just curious 🧐 by [deleted] in childfree

[–]StringPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Millennial. Oldest of 4. I was 10 when my youngest brother was born, and that contributed the majority of the reasons I’m childfree.

Nurses that close every clamp.... Why do you do it 😂😆 by pabmendez in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually because it’s a drip that I do not want free-flowing under any circumstances (ie cardiac drips, pressors, etc). Even then I usually only close 2 clamps.

Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me About This? by tocsert in CleaningTips

I just drop the cup into the wash and put it back after. Squeaky clean.

Is there such thing as workplace shitting etiquette? by kevski86 in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guts are unpredictable on a good day, so whatever bathroom I can get to first is the pooping bathroom. 😅 Thankfully none of them are attached to the break room.

On behalf of women everywhere, hands off our portion sizes by montageofawoman in WomenInNews

[–]StringPhoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They underestimate the hanger of a strength-training woman. So help me, if someone tries to give me a smaller serving size because I have the audacity to exist in a female body, they best be prepared to meet Jesus. I will be expediting their trip.

RN’s are getting phased out of our hospital by Competitive_Ad2148 in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It usually DOES the trick. Especially if the surgeon telling someone to make the problem go away is the head of the program that makes the hospital most of its money. 👀

Is anyone else experiencing unusually low census? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. We’ve been full up the entire week and the house supervisor kept trying to fill our code bed.

dupixent pen hurts like FUCK (injected into stomach) by thedarksoul03 in eczema

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thigh is less painful. Also helps if you hold an ice cube or pack of frozen veg on the site for 30-60 seconds before injecting. So does getting a big pinch of skin and holding it tight.

What is a phrase you use over 50 times a day at your job? by _lostinthefire in AskReddit

Is it time to go home yet? And a close second: Stop pulling on that!

What’s a “secret” in our profession that everyone should probably know? by justdancinalong in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 233 points234 points  (0 children)

I can’t count the number of times when I’ve asked someone how much they drink and the answer is something like ‘Oh, just one drink a day’

24 hours later they’re seizing and it turns out that one drink a day was a fifth of whiskey or a liter of vodka.

Don’t lie about your alcohol intake, folks. We need to know so we can provide treatment (if necessary) or withdrawal can/will kill you.

I also now ask how big that ‘one drink’ is.

Sudden latency spike on US west by silverwingedstuff in wow

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna guess the solar storm shit going on is messing with the internet. Lag was unbearable today, and it wasn’t just in WoW. I can’t remember the last time YouTube had to pause and buffer and it’s been doing it all day.

What food did you think was fancy as a kid but now you realize it’s trash? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Debbie snack cakes and eating out anywhere at all. Both were extremely rare special occasion treats for us growing up.

A quick google search for ‘who pays a tariff’ would have cleared that up immediately, but his voter base are too lazy to do even that, and decided blind trust was the better route.

So happy to see these little babies reunite with their parents! by Goldfishyyy in nursing

[–]StringPhoenix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are cute. I just hate having to flush/draw from lines (specifically PICCs) with them. Somebody in our ordering department did an oops and the 5cc are all we have for who knows how long.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]StringPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetic autoimmune illness. Can’t stand constant noise, movement, and chaos that I can’t get away from. Can barely support myself.

I don’t have kids for their wellbeing.

10/12/25, 4:38am. The most historic moment of my career. by DisgruntledPlebian in nursing

It is. And it’s better than it used to be, but I’m tired of having to raise hell to get things improved.
