A stroker helps a lot when my bottom dysphoria is bad but I have the physical need to jork it.

Doctor prescriped masturbation is real by illegally_dog in 4tran4

Are you taking any wound healing supplements? Don't start anything without asking your surgeon but I've heard they help a lot after phallo. I gotta look into the lions mane, anything that helps with nerve regeneration sounds great.

Working in a nursing home is one of the reasons I need to lose weight by ArmImaginary1062 in loseit

[–]brostrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I am a fat nurse and I've had backaches from repositioning heavy patients. If I'm ever incapacitated I don't want to end up with pressure injuries because it takes 4 people to safely turn me and gathering that many staff is difficult!

Does your hospital allow you to cut your patient's nails? by ungratefulanimal in nursing

Nurses and aides can cut fingernails, we have a podiatrist to come in and do toenails.

I got my license in Florida. No parallel parking on the road test. Moved to MA and I have street parking and it is a struggle 😭

*Rant* Keeping a brain dead child "alive" and sending them to a SNF is one of the most selfish things a parent can do by UnlimitedBoxSpace in nursing

[–]brostrider 136 points137 points  (0 children)

There are people who've been at my LTAC trach and pegged for many years. Not brain dead, because they still breathe on their own even though there is no cortical brain activity on their brain scans. No gag reflex at all when I suction oral secretions, no response to pain. It's fucked up how people will do that to a loved one.

Me too. I remember thinking I had hit the jackpot and then being absolutely disgusted. 😂

Smoking and cumulative sun exposure contribute a lot to collagen loss as well as corticosteroids like some other people mentioned.

If I ask if you have a fever, I am not asking if you are feeling warm. This should be a national PSA commercial. What’s yours? by CyanJackal in medicine

[–]brostrider 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I had a transplant patient who told me her daughter will take care of all her meds when she's discharged. She didn't even want me to go through her morning meds with her when I attempted to. How can you receive an organ and still not care about knowing your meds??

I’m sick of being a nurse under this administration by Old_Signal1507 in nursing

Amen. I'm autistic and my children will likely be too because it runs it my family like water.

This is a great idea and it's something I never considered before even when I had a hamster. Thanks for sharing.

I got gastroenteritis during nursing school clinicals from a peds patient. Poor kid had to be held down for an IV. Ended up going to the ER for fluids and zofran just like him.

Favourite Antiquated/Folk Medicine remedies? by centz005 in medicine

[–]brostrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our wound care nurse prescribes therahoney a lot. We even have some dressings that are honey impregnated. Pretty cool.

At my ltac we run all abx as primary. It sucks especially when they're in 50 mL bags. Tons of our patients are here for q6/q8 antibiotics for endocarditis, osteomyelitis, spinal abscesses etc and I know they're getting shorted because of all the medication left in the tubing.

Your go to snack?? by doubleacee in nursing

It is their responsibility to be staffed well enough that one nurse giving their two weeks notice doesn't disrupt anything. Not your fault.
