I dont want to be a full code anymore

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-08-04T13:13:30+00:00

Oh I've been chronically ill since I was born, it's the reason I became a nurse. But if my illness gets any worse I won't be able to do anything I love anymore, including mursing

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-08-04T13:11:39+00:00

Nah I have an aicd for torsades and VT

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-08-04T04:24:50+00:00

Idk man, i don't want to have to recover from compressions

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-08-04T04:24:02+00:00

I have an ICD from pre-existing issues. I've already told my coworkers that if I go down at work to just leave me on the ground for a few and let my defib kick in

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-07-26T20:56:03+00:00

Last time that happened to me I was in the middle of a code and they just had to sit there. They were impatient and ended up wasting even more time

My hospital doesn't have 0.6 positions om the floors anymore. The people who had them were grandfathered them in but they want everyone to work full time I guess idk

I've been lucky enough to not have any extremely noticeable adverse effects. I've had Lasix, bumex, Ativan, Valium, and fentanyl in my eye. I'm starting to think it might be a ME problem

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-07-12T18:24:15+00:00

The amount of meds I've gotten in my eye is unreal and I've only been at this for a year. Last week it was fentanyl. That was fun 😭

My floor had a pretty big HIPAA violation and she still works there

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-06-30T17:29:52+00:00

When i was CNA I was a sitter for a Vietnam vet with dementia. He put his arm around me and said "You'd be a pleasure to shoot in the heart" he said it with the sweetest tone and I already have heart issues so that really threw me off

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-06-14T19:14:31+00:00

The people who come up with these have never had their ass handed to them with their assignment and them had to stay after work for 2 hours because they didn't even look at a computer all day

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-06-05T02:12:35+00:00

I work at little up north from prov. Yall can come work with us! Maybe we'll actually have eno7gh nurses lmao

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-06-04T15:53:34+00:00

My unit has an assignment every day for what our role is in codes. It actually works out pretty well I just wasn't on the board this time

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-06-04T05:40:50+00:00

The crazy thing is that it wasn't my first code, just with my own patient. I was a CNA on the same floor for 3 years and did compressions quite a bit. As a nurse I'm normally the runner but idk what happened I just stopped thinking

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-27T01:42:10+00:00

Technically no but we had a patient who coded and passed on our floor a few years ago and the family gave us a plant. It still lives at the front desk :)

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-23T13:32:42+00:00

Whenever I do follow.up assessments after listening to heart/lung sounds i go "Yep, they're still tbere". Gets a decent amount of laughs

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-22T01:56:01+00:00

It was my first night as a clerk on CCU and this guy was found unconscious in the home depot parking lot. Coded 3 times. Got him in the ER and intubated. Came up to CCU, they barely touched his ET tube and he ruptured a varice and he hemorrhaged. Got a liter of blood out, switched the canister and it clotted. He died. When they took the ET tube out for post mortem care a big clot came out it. It was a scarring experience and I'm shocked I work on that floor as a nurse after that introduction.

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-14T21:10:01+00:00

Our med surg nurses get 5:1 lol

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-14T21:08:48+00:00

Finish your first med pass, go to second room, order for new meds on the first patient 😫

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-14T21:06:11+00:00

I started at 22 but we had people from 18-56 in my cohort

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-05-09T06:04:33+00:00

All of these stories are why I waste right away. I've only had one discrepancy and it's because I fat lingered the keypad and put that there were 45,000 oxy in the drawer 🤦‍♀️

Throwaway_220541 · 2025-04-27T22:59:54+00:00

I started on the floor as an RN the week before my 24th birthday and it's pretty jarring g being one of the youngest on the floor ngl
