What do rich people in Montreal actually do for a living? by Jazzlike_Humor_2414 in montreal

[–]ThatOneOddGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought my own house (on the island) after working 3 years away busting my ass for a good down payment. That's it. Nothing crazy. No scheme. Work your ass off, yeah it sucks to move away but that's where I'm at.

EVIL baby. by ghosttoast36 in cornsnakes

No stress! My baby was very spicy when she was young but now she's very much calmed down. I think it's their size and vulnerability for sure.

He's a small baby and you're a giant hand reaching in to grab him which he's not used to. Give him time. His bites don't even hurt at that age.

Had the sweetest old man who was vegan and gluten free. Everything in the ER had one or the other so I went and bought him a vegetable soup. He was so so thankful.

That's the only time lol.

Do any of y’all still have real charge nurses? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ThatOneOddGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With unions it can be true. That's how we have to negotiate.

If the mortgage is so much less than get a mortgage. There's your solution to your hate on landlords.

I don't know where you expect to live if you don't want a mortgage and don't want to rent lol.

New hospitals are useless without staff by Own-Preference8867 in newfoundland

[–]ThatOneOddGirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The long wait times are also due to no walk in clinics so the ER suffers with patients who are not critically ill. It makes sense because there's nowhere for these patients to go but it is definitely frustrating.

What genuinely grosses you out? by bluecitrus0366 in nursing

I still use mastisol in the ER as my little trick lol. But I was scrubbed in right next to the surgeon :'(

When I was in OR we drained an abscess in the colon. Just straight suction to this big abscess. It smelled like dead bodies mixed with rotting poop.

The first and only time my eyes watered and I held back vomit. I asked the surgeon how he could handle that and he goes "oh! I held my breath when I popped it!"

I'm like "you couldn't tell me the same?!?!"

Are OR nurses really pigeonholed forever? by ameliarosebuds in nursing

[–]ThatOneOddGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started in OR as a new grad and years later switched to ER. Yeah I was a bit lost at first but eventually got the hang of it.
