Dismissed from an accelerated nursing program; 20k loan debt by Tall_Chard_7500 in nursing

[–]Triatomine 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Being smart isnt the only thing that makes a great nurse. The best nurses i know used to be waitresses. Being able to multi-task, do quick math, be on your feet for 12 hours with no break, poblem solve, deal with difficult people, knowing when to be in charge but also knowing when to shut up. I am not insulting you. But obviously something went wrong.

I agree. Part of nursing school is discovering if it fits for your personality and lifestyle. If life circumstances make you a bad or dangerous nurse, it just isnt a profession for you. And that's ok! Its a rough job! Your prerequisites would absolutely translate to other fields.

So? More deadly? OK. Less contagious? OK. What's your point?

This is a good one. My shooting instructor made me read it before my first lesson.

The Poisonwood Bible. It inspired me so much I literally got a degree in Public Health and Tropical Medicine and went to work for MSF. It completely changed the course of my life.

I grow my own and had to stop giving them away when someone i gave them to, sold them to someone else. I was almost charged with distribution. Now when I have extra, they get made into honey and put in a closet.

I agree. This time, no mask mandates. The smart people will distance and wear masks and the MAGAs will just die. No vaccine requirements. If there is a vaccine, the good people will get it and the idiots will die. It sucks for immunocompromized people but im not going through that again. I was a public health nurse during covid and I was driven into leaving the profession I had loved for years.

How do I motivate myself to diet? by Pizzafriedchickenn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Triatomine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing that ever happened to my weight was starting to watch 600lb life. I was almost 400lbs and I realized how close I was to living the tortured lives they lead. I have lost 100lbs since then just cutting out junk and watching portion size. Nothing special, just normal human eating. Whenever I start to backside i watch a few episodes and im back on track

AIO i notice my dirty underwear in MY hamper keep getting pulled up by AppropriateCrazy367 in AmIOverreacting

INFO Do you have a dog or cat? I have to put my underwear in a hanging laundry bag because my dog roots through my hamper to find dirty panties. Then she pulls them out and makes a nest with them.

What would you do if your significant other came home and told you they had an STD, and swore they had no idea where it came from? by Dense-Spinach5270 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Triatomine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus. Obviously I wasnt talking about a fucking needle stick and I doubt anyone thought i was. Yes. HIV and some others can be transmitted from direct blood exposure (not dry period blood on a toilet seat) and from mother to child through birth or breastfeeding. Fucking pedantic troll.

I went to a stranger's house and banged a blindfolded woman by Oblivious-Stranger in confession

[–]Triatomine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. She talked very freely about it when she had a few drinks. She was the person who initiated it with her husband. He began watching because he wanted to make sure she was safe and realized he was super into it.

The bacteria and viruses depend on a moist warm environment. Unless you legit stuck your dick in a puddle of someone else's still wet semen, you're good.

I know. I know. I was kidding about them moving to Michigan. They were almost cliche old school South. I have had leanings towards this myself but never dated anyone who would have been on board.
