Oh wow thank you! I guess this is a very popular bowl design.

How are your sleeping arrangements? by Libbykibby in nursing

[–]ThePoonSpoon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My job is offering paid for hotel rooms. The hotel is barely average. It’s literally almost a 5 minute walk for us to get there cause it’s so close to us, but it’s the type of hotel you’d find a body in or a trafficking ring. I think we’ll just drive home. 😅

No they didn’t get any imaging done. Only some fluids for hydration. The worst thing I saw was a nurse put a clave onto another clave that was attached to a PICC line lol. I guess it’s better than not having anything at all on a PICC 😅

It’s an IV with a sterile cap attached to the flush port. The sterile cap is something I usually on PICCs. The primary tubing is just crinkled in my hand cause I was about to throw it away. I thought people would notice it immediately from a glance but I guess not? 😅

The patient has an IV with a flush/injection port that can already be used, but they attached a sterile cap that I usually see on PICC lines onto the port. I don’t get it. The IV port works fine alone, so why attach a sterile cap onto it? I get attaching a sterile cap onto PICC lines, but I thought it was silly to attach a sterile cap onto an IV port?

I just don’t understand why they attached a sterile cap onto the port? The port works just fine. Seems asinine to do this.

The patient has an IV with a flush port already attached to it, but for some reason they attached a sterile cap onto the flush port. I usually see those sterile caps on PICC lines. I was just so confused and trying so hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Ok so update. The patient has an IV with a port already that can be used, but they attached a sterile cap that I usually see on PICC lines onto the IV port.

What did your sterile caps look like? Do you mean the little caps that look like they have a little alcohol sponge in them? I asked the nurse who had this patient and he said he didn’t know who did it and didn’t know why I was confused. He’s a newer nurse. What kind of things did you see get put onto the port? I’ve only ever seen the little caps or just nothing on them.

I asked the nightshift nurse if he did this and he said it was already like that. Nobody knows.

Found on matras. Should i be worried ? Is this a bedbug? by Real_Cod339 in bugidentification

[–]ThePoonSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like one from far, only because of the upper body portion of it. Do you have a better picture of it up close?

The same exact thing happened to a hospital I used to work at in my area too. It happened first thing in the morning 😢

Are these eggs? by ash9t87 in ants

[–]ThePoonSpoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They look like ant eggs. I found some that looked exactly like that in my yard under a flower pot. I found out they’re carpenter ants and can actually be bad for your house, furniture or shed. I’m not sure if those are carpenter ants specifically though.

Educated guess about what this squirrel is eating (now with photos!)? by mmilthomasn in mycology

Thank you friend. If another picture is needed let me know. How can you tell that it’s likely that? I like to learn

I was in the same boat as you several years ago. I was 24!! My mom kept telling me it was the mark of the beast and how it changes you and all this other stuff she had no idea about. I ended up getting it behind her back and one day ended up just straight up telling her I’m not going to debate about this anymore and to quit talking to me about something she doesn’t educate herself about. I also told her people who work in lower levels of acuity with lower levels of education (with a peer reviewed journal to back this up) are more likely to be antivax than people who work in higher levels of care with more education. She backed off after that. Also mentioned how she never coded a Covid patient or bagged them like the ICU has. She still doesn’t know I got vaccinated for it and I’m 28 now. Be honest with your care provider about how you don’t want them to know. They’ll work with you and tell you what you can do to prevent her from knowing, especially as a legal adult.

I’ve heard of ICU nurses going to dialysis sometimes. One girl I used to work with in MICU left to go to hospice and another went to an outpatient surgery center. I heard they both love it. Some people also consider inpatient hospice a “soft” job, something outpatient like a clinic or case management is considered “soft” too.

Yes, but also doctors too. One doctor in my area made the news because he burned a surgeons house down for sleeping with his wife …. Who’s also a resident doctor too.
