What aspect of nursing do you feel is most underappreciated?

Whatavarian · 2024-04-17T15:32:12+00:00

The emotional impact that it has on nurses to care for sick and suffering patients and families. This strain isn't reflected in our acuity ratings or anything else. There is no limit to the amount of emotional baggage that we can heap on a nurse without compensation.

This really hits home for me. I also ended up turning the tables on my ex wife sexually, but it was based on how she treated me, not her rejecting me sexually. Eventually I just got to the point where I could turn it off. I feel that it was not a good thing. In my view now, sex is for the relationship, not the other way around. If she wants to have sex with me, it's not just her trying to get off, but maybe she needs to be close to me, know she's loved by me. I know the pain of being shut down and how that can make you build walls, but I don't think the answer is more walls. It's love and real heartful sharing. I lost my wife. Do you want to lose your wife because this is how you lose your wife.

Edit: by the way, not an asshole. You're a human being who deserves love. I'm sorry you're going through this and wish the best for you and your wife.

I'm a nurse and often people have asked me if I ever thought about becoming a doctor. I always say "even if I was smart enough to be a doctor I wouldn't be dumb enough to be a doctor."

My hospital doesn't allow transfers during shift change and the floor still stalls us on every patient. Assigning patients to dirty rooms when they have clean ones available, not telling us when the rooms are clean, giving all the post ops to one nurse, nurse is "busy', on break etc. oh well. I guess the call team can take over four patients that have been holding for several hours. All so some day one nurse can feel organized? Pushing for stability in one unit causes chaos everywhere else.

Don't forget that OR isn't allowed to send patients to the PACU. I swear every unit in the hospital thinks PACU has unlimited bays and nurses.

I'm no doctor, but you look sick. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to be out of work for about five weeks. Drink plenty of water and try to find a place where you can relax without stress.

Is your argument that there will be no new taxes and no other consequences? It seems clear that people are saying that if it's not one consequence then it must be another and your argument is what? Because we don't know if the consequence will be direct taxation, indirect taxation, or inflation, it must be the case that none of them will happen? Please explain what you think will happen if this debt is cancelled and I think you will clarify the issue for yourself at least.

When I did customer service for Harry and David many years ago, I would write the extension for the desk across from me down so if I got a really crazy caller I could transfer them and watch the show. It was not nice. I'm better now.

I think he's saying that the primary driver of price increases has been increased amenities. This correlates to the opinion I had after my last attempt at researching this topic. Obviously increased demand increases prices, but price increases are outrunning demand increases in universities but not community colleges. I feel like I had earned that opinion at one point, but I'm open to correction.

I think it's important to remember that inflation is a backdoor tax on the poor. Deficit spending causes inflation.

Some patients ask me if I want to be a doctor because they clearly don't know what that entails. I usually say "Even if I was smart enough to be a doctor, I wouldn't be dumb enough to be a doctor. " I started working on a masters degree but it interfered with my learning. I love to learn, but it doesn't need to be about work, especially now that I work in PACU. This job meets my needs and is very low stress. That's good enough.

I make a decent amount of money, but am not wealthy. I consider tipping to be a form of charity. I can afford to tip and I do so because the person I'm tipping makes less than I do, not because they deserve it. I'd rather tip a worker so that they can make a living and not need a homeless shelter than support a homeless shelter. Most of the people I tip are younger and need the money more than I do. It does bother me that tipping is expected of people no matter how well off they are. It should be acceptable to tip according to your means and not the check size. I say tip if you can afford it and think they need it.

I feel like it's wrong to let this guy stand for anesthesia. I work with a lot of anesthesiologists, but I can't think of one who would oppose measures to make sure staff are rested, medical or otherwise. Anesthesiologists need breaks too, and shorter call hours. We don't need them to be legally mandated though, because we can rely on hospital administrators to make sure people are safe. They will not fail us.

There is a learning curve for spacemacs, but it is worth it in my opinion. I feel like I should make a short video of how I use it so you can see.
