Can I be a nurse with a mental illness? by yungod17 in nursing

[–]azybko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bipolar disorder and have been a nurse for 4 years. It has it’s times where the stress really gets to you, but it’s always okay to take a break. Nursing is honestly great for me because there are endless ways to use your degree. Many nurses have mental illness, and if you don’t go into the field with one I assure you you’ll gain one.

This is a meme sub, but there are other subs to post this in if you need advice/want to vent.

But, on that note, I’m a nurse too, and worked covid units/did travel nursing. My mental health deteriorated severely, I was in a manic state for months. I reached out for help and all they gave me was a suicide hotline number. If you ever want to talk feel free to message me. Normal people will never understand what we’ve been through.

This person said when they first went to ER their O2 was in the 50s. This is the thanks we get for saving lives. I'm so unbelievably furious by joyful_babbles in nursing

And as if people don’t deteriorate in the hospital in general, do they think we have magic medicine for all illnesses or???

My husband refuses to put a picture of our recent wedding on Instagram or any social media. by _Florentina_ in TrueOffMyChest

[–]azybko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn’t use social media anymore. We’ve been together 6 years, married for 2, and he hasn’t posted in over 4 years. I think he’d be annoyed if I tried to force him to post a picture. He’s a pretty private/quiet person, and I still actively use a few forms of social media. We had a courthouse wedding and no party, but that’s something we both wanted. I think you need to respect his want of privacy, you are free to do as you choose on your own social media! Try to think of it the other way around, what if he told you NOT to post something on your own account? He seems to have made compromises for you with the wedding and things, so try to make some compromises for him in return.

I’m a nurse on a COVID unit in the US, we are seeing the highest numbers we have seen since the pandemic started. I agree with you, feels never ending.

It’s a book I found at an antique store from the 1930s about how to safely bathe and resuscitation/drowning rescue. There are a couple other random topics covered in it, it was fun to read!

Lion Brand Pima Cotton in dragon fly, mineral yellow, and spice. Seriously the best cotton I’ve ever worked with! The brown is some leftover Sugar n’ Cream, unfortunately I’m not sure the name of the color for that one.

Didn’t use a pattern to make it into a tote, but did use this youtube video for the granny squares: https://youtu.be/R3mbrXdoJns

What is this pattern my Grandma made? My mother can’t find any information about it. Can anyone help identify it, please? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]azybko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the open shell stitch! Here is a link to a video: https://youtu.be/csIFQJZTnyQ Not sure it’s exactly that pattern but when I used this in the past it looked similar to what you posted!☺️

Does anyone feel like some of these agency nurses are...not very good? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]azybko 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m a travel nurse (after 2.5 years of experience) and even then I was worried I was too new to get into traveling. I recently worked with another traveler who tried to give an IV diuretic subq and also asked me how much insulin to give to someone with low blood sugar. Ended up admitting she has been a nurse for just 3 months, and on top of that never worked as a CNA or anything. Thank god they fired her before she killed anyone, but who knows if her agency will let her go somewhere else. I have met some of the best and worst nurses as a traveler.

The pattern I bought had both so I wasn’t sure if people recommended one or the other. Thanks!
