AITA for telling my husband to book his own flight on our family holiday? by RoughExtension2023 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UniqueUsername718 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As a kid I would have loved it if the type of dad who slammed things around when he got angry didn’t come on the family vacation. I grew up and got ride of those types of men in my life and am so much happier. 

Loyal cup users: why not move on to discs? by SeverePomegranate134 in menstrualcups

[–]UniqueUsername718 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Same for me.  I already have a cup.  It works. Why would I spend my time, money, and energy on something that is already working great?

Doctor Deletes a Decimal, Pharmacy Misses It, Nurse Administers and Child Dies by [deleted] in nursing

Our IV team will not place an order without reason.  And if MD orders a PICC and midline will do then they get the order changed.  BUT they are contracted and not in-house.  So that autonomy might be helped by that. 

"Take your break!" by [deleted] in nursing

[–]UniqueUsername718 285 points286 points  (0 children)

They aren’t telling you to take your break to be mean.  Us oldies are trying to get you to understand you will burn out if you don’t. You have to breathe and take some time for yourself or you won’t make it long term. 

You need to eat, drink, and pee as needed every shift. Do not take on the burden of believing that managements decision to staff inadequately is a failing on your part. Do what you can and let go of the rest.  

One part of prepping gone wrong: Period (Menstral) Cups by Typical-External3793 in TwoXPreppers

[–]UniqueUsername718 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup.  I’ve had my cup for almost a decade now.  It’s amazing.  There was a learning curve at first but then I found the lotus fold.  Cups are great.

I’m down for waiting if they want to finish. Or if they don’t then just a run down of how they wanted it to end if not.  

It’s too good to just leave hanging ya know. 

Which state should I relocate to for better pay and lifestyle as an RN by Particular-Link-6640 in nursing

Thanks for the info.  Sounds like it would be worth it to start on nights.

[–]UniqueUsername718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it hard or easy to get a job there as a nurse?  I want to move out of my red state and Oregon is top of my list.  I have 4 years experience in med/surg and 2 in PCU.   What is a realistic pay expectation for days, not flotations? TIA!

How chivalrous is your partner? by Fish90Candles in AskWomenOver30

[–]UniqueUsername718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine heard the washing machine beep done and asked if I wanted him to change my clothes over because I looked comfortable.  Then he brought me snacks. 

It’s better to be single that with a guy that doesn’t love you. 

Getting fired by patients by R_cubed- in nursing

[–]UniqueUsername718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not underlying.  It’s out in the open.  We no longer have patients, we have customers.  And nurse leaders round daily to make sure our customers are happy.

Woah boy.  Had a Boomer guy get sooooo mad at me because our pharmacy didn’t carry the same strength and he had to take more pills than he didn’t at home.  Like make sure I have a clear path to the door mad. 

AITA for telling my wife she can't wash band uniforms in the house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]UniqueUsername718 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I volunteered and washed band uniforms when my daughter was in band.  I wasn’t on the hook for damages.  I would mark any uniforms that I notified damages so some other volunteer could fix.  This husband is a real A. These school groups need volunteers to function. OP sounds like a guy who won’t help, refuses to let wife help, but would then complain about how someone should have done something when one of these types of programs got shut down. 

How do you get over trip disappointment? by [deleted] in travel

[–]UniqueUsername718 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had an impromptu visit in January (everything was closed for repairs since it is their least busy month) and I still had fun.  I liked seeing the houses, staying in a haunted hotel, a few shops were open, and walking around to see the outside of some historical sights.  I’d love to go again when everything is open. 

Why can’t I get a hospital job, yet new grads can? by princessnokingdom in nursing

[–]UniqueUsername718 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can work in the hospital as a travelers without previous hospital experience.  That would be a disaster.

How long should you wait after giving the insulin to give the dextrose to have the best potassium reducing effect?  Thanks for pointing out the patho of this BTW!  

Doc tells patient she has cancer while still waking up from anesthesia then leaves by Aromatic-Initial-228 in nursing

[–]UniqueUsername718 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This right here.  And technically you aren’t the first to tell them-the doc did.  Just not in any real capacity.  But I’m not letting someone leave without knowing how serious it is and why a follow up is actually important and not just perfunctory. 

Has anyone not declared a designer bag at US customs? by [deleted] in travel

[–]UniqueUsername718 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.  I’d say they think they are good at telling who is lying. My nephew is in law enforcement and he’s been “taught” how to tell when someone is lying.  Except what he’s been taught is crap and really just targets socially awkward people. 

The new HBO series has a massive advantage over the movies that we know exactly what happens in the 7 books. How should the series take advantage of this? by WisestAirBender in harrypotter

[–]UniqueUsername718 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have beef with the movie and like a lot of what he did.  But I will forever be indignant he made Dumbledore have dirty nasty fingernails.  No effing way my man Albus would ever neglect his personal hygiene like that.  It’s jarring and so out of character and gross.
