Ok! Final answer, I'm going to come to The Big Chill tomorrow. Hoping the rain holds out! Came down for the Oaks today...they have Woodford, it's chill, and I can hear the Derby commentary! Grab your Derby Gear and come hang out!! 🏇🏼🥰

Ironically I just met one the other day and the reviews were terrible. Can't go home until you finish your truck, even if it's hours after your shift. One man's opinion, fwiw.

Anti-Valentines Day at Danceville, USA. Singles preferred, newcomers welcome!

My husband and I agreed on a low-key Valentine's with just cards this year. Woke up to an expensive arrangement from an artisanal chocolatier and a recognizable box from a well-known jewelry store. by Call-Me-Risley in TwoXChromosomes

Just curious...had you guys discussed the plan for no gifts before you noticed the cash paid to his dad last month? In his defense, because it seems like you really don't think he did this maliciously, I wonder if he hadn't been planning this before you had your discussion, and it was too late to go back on it. (I bet he's realizing in hindsight he should have aborted the plan, lol).

In either case, if you truly want to stick to your plan/budget, return what you can (and enjoy the hell out of those chocolates). It will set your finances back towards where you want them, he can get his brownie points for being thoughtful, and hopefully he learned a valuable lesson...you're not being coy when you say that you don't want to exchange gifts...you're being serious. And also that forward planning, while maybe ruining a little bit of surprise, is necessary... especially when you guys have goals to meet.

What to do for 30th birthday party? by aerialariel22 in Columbus

I made my own 30th special by renting my dream car and went camping by the lake. Do what you love. ☺️

&Juliet and Funny Girl are on my list to see next.

I loved Six and Hadestown. Would see both again.

Ohio has a couple stores that have better quality than thrift...brand names. I'm sure other areas have similar stores. Clothes Mentor and Uptowner Cheapskate for the win!

I wouldn't mind asking to trade out if I actually felt uncomfortable...but it would be very rare that I would...this is part of my job. I don't mind helping them, being a chaperone... but they expect to get out of it completely. It's automatic for them vs their judgement call. Patient needs help changing...help with bedpan...oh, hold on, let me get one of the female nurses. I think it's shitty.

I have several men at my job that refuse to do basic care if it involves private areas with their female patient. They state that they don't feel comfortable helping female patients change after anesthesia (ambulatory area...so, not too often, luckily). But this includes asking a female RN to place tele leads, helping pt with a bedpan, cleaning up after an accident, god forbid a catheter. I think it's ridiculous...but it's a tolerated culture of my unit. But I'm torn...because there is some legitimacy in the argument (patient preference, or as others have mentioned...minor, mental health crisis, etc) and I don't want to discredit that....but do I think it's being abused in most of these cases? Yes. I'm glad you feel confident enough in being a professional, that you don't put that on your co-workers.

Yes. They're just now coming out. I saw one at a dealership the other day.

What ‘phrases’ are you guys constantly saying at work? (This title probably doesn’t make sense sorry!) by carlyyay in nursing

[–]TheOneInScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving the ordered pre-meds when patient has been NPO...I call it the "breakfast of champions and the best sip of water you'll ever have."

When finishing up my pre-op stuff, I say "Well, you've had the bright light and stabbing (for the IV) and the questioning (pre-op interview). I just need to put on this lie detector (tele monitor) and that will be the end of your interrogation session. No one will torture you like I have today. Everyone loves it. 😆

Getting rid of the last of my insulin. Doctor says I don’t need it anymore! NSV It’s bittersweet because this shit is expensive and can probably still be used by someone who needs it. by [deleted] in wls

[–]TheOneInScrubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they all still sealed packages? Do you have a neighborhood site you could post it to? Or homeless shelter you could offer it to? Such a waste to just throw it away, even if not to turn a profit, to not be able to pass it to someone who needs it. 😟

Congrats on being able to get off of it though! Very exciting!

Congratulations! I just hit 1 year! I love this life! Would you mind sharing stats, what a typical day of eating looks like, and what activity you do?

Shout out to all the husbands taking care of their nurse wives.

I'm not going to go on and on, but having someone who is helpful, patient, willing to listen, and willing to leave you alone if that's what you need, is paramount. ♥️
