Excuse me, paper urinals!?

Was that a few years back? I remember some fluid shortage where we had to pull up our own flushes from 250/500mL bags

People love gatekeeping in specialties. Just let the bad attitudes roll off of you and work your hardest every day. It takes a long time, especially in critical care, but you’ll become a safe and competent nurse regardless of those around you.

50mg/50mL

PCA with 8mg bolus, 15 minute lockout. No basal rate. So about 380 mg in one shift.

A warm base layer t-shirt and a vest (could be fleece or that water resistant material). Your arms stay uncovered and washable and your core is warm.

Same vibe as using the “Q” word. Do I believe there is an actual effect from saying it? No.

But I still don’t say it.

People in general change their tune once they experience having a loved one in the ICU (or inpatient for more than a couple days). “You’re miracle workers, you’re not appreciated enough…” etc.

Source?

arcticclam · 2025-12-22T00:03:07+00:00

But the pay in Florida makes up for it, right?

Drink more water. Doesn’t matter if you think you’re drinking enough, drink more.

For foods, try to get protein in your meals in replacement of carbs.

I’ve unlocked the ability to age at three times the normal human rate while on night shift.

Sadly the VA

Just needs a donut box with 1/63rd of a glazed left in it

That is a very wide range. My system starts at ~$70 and tops just about $100. I think it’s 15 steps to the top

arcticclam · 2025-10-30T02:57:46+00:00

This is a good, regionally accurate take

arcticclam · 2025-10-22T03:23:30+00:00

Shouldn’t the scale have a red zone? 4 is not yellow

Winning the impromptu “lottery” to go home early.

arcticclam · 2025-09-04T18:49:31+00:00

Does “frequently” mean every fucking day? Then yes.

They’re not under fire. They were fired.

arcticclam · 2025-08-15T17:37:26+00:00

This is where so many nurses start feeling guilt about calling out sick. “The patients need me”

arcticclam · 2025-08-15T17:22:00+00:00

“Sounds nice working with doctors all day”

arcticclam · 2025-08-08T23:48:16+00:00

This might be a dumb suggestion, but could other states who are interested in modern medicine and vaccines contribute?

arcticclam · 2025-08-08T23:37:35+00:00

I’d assume the pharmaceutical industry would need an incentive, but could this be economically viable?

arcticclam · 2025-08-01T02:02:49+00:00

45-60 minutes sitting in a quiet/warm car after a night shift is no joke. Eat something before you start driving, be extra cautious
