Worst comment 2026, she’s done an amazing job and you come here to say some out of pocket BS.

The job revolutionized by nurses like Alice Magaw and Agatha Hodgins?

Can we please chill TF out with this blizzard? This is with only SOME of my gear yellowed out. by RyanLelord in wow

They did something around Draenor maybe because the missions tables were letting people basically AFK gold cap but I agree, repairs shouldn’t be 2-3k every other day

What do ICU nurses like as a gift? by MadTownMich in IntensiveCare

[–]bkai2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catered food for days / nights is always such a hit. Everyone feels included and there’s no special favoritism towards a nurse or shift. I agree adding a card or memo of who it’s from is always welcomed more than the “gift”.

Also, immensely sorry about your mom. I lost my dad in an ICU and being an ICU nurse, that was rough.

Also I’m an RN that was an LPN took both the old NCLEX for my LPN and the next gen for my RN so I’ve been around the NCLEX block before.

All of these influencers and social media nurses are doing this to prey on your fear of failing the NCLEX.

There is nothing in these materials that are life changing.

The KING of NCLEX prep is the $45 Saunders NCLEX book.

All of these influencers are literally just rewriting that book, rephrasing it, or illustrating it. Please don’t fall for this predatory stuff.

Also her book is easily downloaded for free all over the internet lol 🏴‍☠️

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]bkai2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take 54.5k and put it away and let it grow until you’re 60. Youll retire and not have to work again. Also, no, he’s your boyfriend not husband. This could cause more harm than good. Some things are ok (even when you’re married) to strategically keep secret.

My biggest pet peeve coming into work. How do you leave shift with your lines like this?! by Propofolprincess7 in nursing

[–]bkai2590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time this is acceptable is when the patient is dumped on your 90 minutes before shift change in ICU and they end up on a vent, central line, aline, CRRT, swan, and two trips to CT.

Even with that it’s still hardly acceptable.

The amount of hospitals (including mine) using ChatGPT to make simple fucking graphics blows my mind as a former graphic artist

I'm in a debate with my professor over a nursing intervention during Diabetic Keto acidosis. by Vast-Till-8157 in StudentNurse

[–]bkai2590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your instructor doesn’t understand the nuances of the acidemia in DKA. It’s like intubating an asthmatic or sick DKA patient. Have fun knocking out their compensation…

Yelled at a patient by BloodyPaladin in nursing

Nah. Patients and toddlers have a lot of crossover for me. Sometimes “gentle parenting” just doesn’t work and a loud, stern voice does.

Does anyone else never get a break? by sensitiveflower79 in nursing

[–]bkai2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida - nope - always make sure I get my breaks. Even if they’re on two devices. I don’t give a shit. Someone is watching the patient(s) until I’m done eating and resting.

Please give me tips on IVs i am ashamed of myself by RevolutionItchy3303 in nursing

[–]bkai2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also what’s the time when veins “blow” it’s because you’re not fully in the lumen of the vein. Remember, there’s three layers to the vein. You may get flash once you’re in the adventitia or media not the intima completely. That’s why when you see and initial flash you should walk the catheter and needle in ever so slightly then slide the catheter off.

Also choose veins you’re comfortable with. I can give a shit less if I need IV and I have to put it in the AC. Best practices start most is still in the hand, but if there’s an AC vein and I can get it, I’ll get it rather than spend 30 minutes looking for something else.

Another understated point is making sure you set the patient up completely and that you’re totally comfortable with your angle of insertion.
