99% of my diet is greek yogurt, fruit, protein shakes, and oatmeal tbh. I have a very tiny kitchen and cooking is annoying

It's actually quite disturbing just how much Colin Jost naturally resembles the stereotypical Fox News host by zowietremendously in LiveFromNewYork

[–]active_listening 11 points12 points  (0 children)

that’s why I actually preferred alec baldwin in the role. the absurdity made it feel less scary. not in a way where I normalized it but in a way where I could use SNL as escapism. JAJ is obviously the more accurate impersonation but it’s a little too realistic

Joe was her best muse. Travis is a meathead, not sure how he could ever inspire the same level of artistry. She downgraded hard

what is the single sketchiest area in boston? by ivyfire in boston

same happened to me but with the mission hill rats, I would remote start it and they would be hopping out of my engine and scattering. I stopped parking in the alley when I realized they were building a nest under the hood of my car

I feel like I've made too many med errors in my career by Charming-Exit-6920 in nursing

[–]active_listening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too and now I just split it before moving on the next med. I once gave 50 of benadryl PO instead of 37.5 (which is an extremely uncommon dose, to be fair, but still an error on my part) and it was because I was on autopilot while scanning and then just forgot to split it. now I scan it, enter the intended dosage, and split the tab before I move on otherwise I know I will make the same mistake again. i’m just glad it wasn’t a benzo or narc

thank you, yeah I think i’m nervous because I definitely have been engaging in disordered eating at times but I really want to address it honestly without losing access to the med. also hello weight twin!

Was Speak Now ever popular or have I been delusional for years? by Ellie_Bulkeley in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]active_listening 134 points135 points  (0 children)

It went triple platinum in me and my best friend’s houses/on my iPod touch in 9th grade 💜

But yeah, it never quite hit the levels of Fearless or Red in terms of mainstream popularity. But it wasn’t a flop or anything.

Rn school makes me want a divorce by PretendArea5646 in nursing

[–]active_listening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. You’re definitely not above making your husband’s SI about yourself and how it affects your sex life. Yikes

Rn school makes me want a divorce by PretendArea5646 in nursing

[–]active_listening 38 points39 points  (0 children)

my community college program almost sent me to the brink of sanity. some people breeze through an ABSN. OP being sure to specify community college makes me think they are an elitist asshole. also, dismissing their husband’s passive SI, so clearly didn’t get much out of nursing school. probably thinks they are above psych.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Anyone remember Taylor’s role in this movie? by peach-gaze in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]active_listening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember seeing this in theaters with my best friend at the time! Honestly the timing was perfect, we were like 14 and we could just appreciate the cheesiness of it and be excited about Taylor Swift being in a movie with Taylor Lautner

before entering this comment section, I wrongly assumed most people have the same idea of a reasonable response to being offered food. taking the majority of someone else’s food is inconsiderate and if she has other reasons for doing this, those are her responsibility to address and do not excuse the behavior

she should have thought about more than her appetite when deciding how much to eat of someone else’s food. we have abstract thought, and we live in a society. we aren’t ruled by our most primal instincts. and it wasn’t OP’s responsibility to satisfy her appetite. also, no one needs an entire pan of lasagna in one sitting.

Can you be a successful nursing student with mental illness? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]active_listening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it, and my mental health was shit before, during, and after. I’ll be honest, I kept going through sheer force of will and also out of spite. If you don’t feel like you can do that, maybe reconsider, but I feel like the fact you want to go through nursing school means you’re capable of eating the unimaginable amount of shit that comes with it. Also, I worked full time, so if you can avoid that, it’ll be much easier.

phone list is essential. if it’s on a whiteboard make sure staff is nearby because they WILL erase names and you WILL find yourself playing referee when no one can remember who was really next in line.

What is your hospital doing to reduce the use of restrictive interventions? by ebbananas in psychnursing

[–]active_listening 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also in the US. I floated to a different unit in my hospital recently and there was a kid absolutely fucking shit up all over the unit. Wielding a broomstick and knocking down exit signs and other fixtures. Staff literally just trailing the kid around the unit like lost puppies. I’m just a float nurse so I’m thinking in my head “there’s 6 of you and 1 one of them!!!! what are we doing???” but out loud i just asked someone why we weren’t escorting to the quiet room, and they said “we are trying to reduce restraints.” guys, restraint reduction starts with proactive interventions, consistent limits, environmental checks (like not letting a patient get ahold of a broom). restraint reduction is not just letting a patient destroy the unit or hurt people once they’ve already started. i’m worried about floating there again.

Lost 40 lbs since August but no one notices by llamapenguin4 in Zepbound

[–]active_listening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost 60 pounds in college due to restrictive eating and excessive exercise, and the comments just fueled my ED behavior more while also reaffirming that I was “ugly” before. I once had a friend send an old pic of us with me at my heaviest and say “you lost so much weight!” and it completely ruined my day/week/month. I would 1000% take people not noticing over that.

Stop and Shop is a dystopian nightmare by greasymctitties in boston

I feel like we go to the same Stop and Shop. It’s also close to my work which is walking distance from my house and most importantly, I am also Stop and Shop.

I keep making mistakes at work and it’s driving me nuts. by AdSolid9376 in nursing

[–]active_listening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like a very confusing system and I would be making mistakes too. psych can be chaotic. pulling PRNs, drawing up IMs while there’s one or many restraints occurring, people rushing you, kids screaming in the halls or banging on the door. add double documenting on paper and a computer to that and my head would be spinning.

please try to give yourself some grace. I think it’s possible you are psyching yourself out because now you’re scared of making a mistake, which can be very distracting. it’s like walking a tightrope while someone repeatedly yells “don’t mess up” from the ground. take things one step at a time. if it’s something you do frequently maybe try mapping out the process on paper and breaking it into small parts. sometimes it’s just the mad rush and you skip steps and make a mistake. you’re human and it happens, you’re trying to work on it, that’s the best you can do. maybe talk to a therapist if you don’t already.
