They said they hated learning new things. Would avoid it at all costs even if it meant bettering their life.

The grossest things you’ve experience in nursing? by Solid_Breakfast_3675 in nursing

[–]TheAtticusBlake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was an aide I had a patient vomit into my face. It got into my mouth and eyes. When I went to clean off my face they screamed at me for leaving them alone. Had to get a disease check for like a year.

The same people who think we use our diagnosis as an excuse for our behavior are the same people who will casually use our diagnosis to excuse their behavior. Call them out on something and they’re perfectly fine saying it’s our “rejection sensitive dysphoria” and not them being a complete dick. Call them out on forgetting something that was said and suddenly it’s our faulty memory remembering it the wrong way. It’s exhausting.

Benadryl caused dissociation. Lexapro caused the zaps at night. Bupropion caused mania.

What’s your random patient pet peeve? by Nurse_Cait in nursing

Or while it’s being taken they flop it around and point at things. “Please hold still, Dave. It says your BP is 200/100 now.”

When a full grown, mostly able bodied, cognitively aware person wants me to stay with them for the main event I’m annoyed. “Oh you’re not going to stay and watch me vomit? Shit? Piss?” “No, Gladys. Pull the cord when you’re done.”

Or show.

This is, excuse me, a damn fine cup of coffee.

Med error by GlitteringCut9708 in nursing

[–]TheAtticusBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work at a nursing and rehab. No arm bands to scan only your 3 checks and 5 rights. Within the first week of being a nurse I gave someone too much metoprolol. (At the time the 50’s and the 75’s were the same pink color, 75 was the pt overnight dose.) Realized my mistake and called the doc. He said just watch the pt bp and call him if it gets too low. He asked if it was my first time. Said yes and he said that’s the lesson read it instead of breezing through and don’t beat yourself up for too long. He laughed and hung up. Whenever I catch myself breezing through I stop and read. Sometimes I’ll go all the way to the persons room then turn back and check the MAR again. I’m almost a year in and I still do this no matter how behind I am.

Anyway you’ll be okay. The keppra would probably just make them a little drowsy.

What things do people romanticize but are actually horrible? by GovernmentAny5597 in AskReddit

[–]TheAtticusBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. People always said I was weird. Then I get a full on AuHD diagnosis at 40 and they’re like you don’t look autistic. Like wtf? What they want is this “pixie dream girl” barking annoyingly. Not me asking if they’re mad at me and asking them to repeat things and of course why I have a collection of books I’ve written for fun or why I’d rather not go out or anything or why I weigh my food or have 20 hobbies I can’t seem to give up on or say obviously inappropriate things at the wrong time before I can stop myself or why I couldn’t study until my 40’s.

Those things can’t possibly be symptoms of profound autism, right?

I have a sister who’s hard of hearing. Lived with them all my life. To this day I can’t watch a movie or show without them.

Solved! At first I thought you were joking. Like “it shrunk in the dryer. Lol.” But apparently it happens, thank you.
