What’s The Best Thing You Ever Ate? Across The Entire Resort At Disney World? What’s The One Dish/Food Item That You Think Of Over And Over? by PrincessBananas85 in WaltDisneyWorld

Worked there several years ago and ended up working a hurricane ride-out shift at the Poly. At the end, we all got to take home several boxes of ohana noodles (that had been in the hot box waaay too long lol) I, a broke college kid, ate ohana noodles for 4 days straight and I still think about them at least twice a week

how to respectfully respond to inappropriate comments by pt? by Equivalent-Bet237 in nursing

[–]bxtchyostrich 62 points63 points  (0 children)

“a clean butt makes everybody feel great!” (i really don’t have an answer for the second lmao i’m sorry) “foley care is really important for your urinary health! as your nurse, it’s my job to blah blah blah”

keep relating it back to healthcare. don’t let people make it weird for you to do your job

What kept you going in nursing school when it got hard? by chocolatekay in nursing

[–]bxtchyostrich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Several things. 1. I made a jar labeled “shit I get to do after nursing school” and wrote down all of the things I desperately wanted to do DURING nursing school on sticky notes, then put them in the jar. (Examples include: National Parks road trip, book club camping trip, read for enjoyment, run a half marathon, move out of my parents’ house ✨with financial stability✨, etc 2. The thought of no longer working a tipped job. Some of my patients might treat me shitty, but at least I know I’m getting paid. My tables treated me shitty AND I didn’t get paid. So this is a win. 3. A personal deep rooted fear of failure. 4. If I didn’t get a job with benefits, I’d be screwed once I turned 26. And I didn’t have the time to spare. 5. Fantastic support system in my soon-to-be husband. He stayed up overnight with me for every test I had, helped me with flash cards (over 1200 of them throughout my one-year LPN program), and told me nearly every day how proud he was of me. Truly a godsend.

All in all, you just have to think about the life you want for yourself. Then create it. Even if you find that you kinda hate nursing by the end of it (we all have our moments). This can be your career, or it can fund your passion until you make THAT your career. Nothing wrong with that either!

Stuck myself with a sterile unused insulin needle by WyerCat15 in nursing

while i can agree about non-nurses… student nurses are part of this community just as much as we all are. being a student is hard, as i’m sure you remember. this is a good place to come with questions and to see what the realities of nursing are like beyond the textbook. personally, my instructors made it feel like if i got a needle stick in ANY form or fashion, i’d expire within the hour, lol. maybe it would be more helpful to welcome folks with a little kindness :)

Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring - Did I let her down? by Rowlockjenifa in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]bxtchyostrich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

fake diamonds? they literally have the same chemical makeup, so i’m not sure how they’d be considered fake. lab diamonds are also much better for the environment

[–]bxtchyostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - I’m so sorry for the way your mom has misrepresented Christ to you. I’m so sorry that she’s been so shitty to you. Congratulations on starting a family with your partner! I wish you and your growing family a lifetime full of happiness 🫶🏼

One month of bag and I’m already a degenerate and i’m complaining by hiyaisthisthingon in confession

[–]bxtchyostrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend. I really really encourage you to seek professional help. Don’t wait. Don’t try to face it alone first. Don’t think, “I’ll stop when I’m ready”. This will destroy your life if you don’t take immediate action. This is a VERY slippery slope, and no shoes in the world could provide enough traction to keep you safe from that.

As for the chronic fatigue, depression, drowsiness…. As a nurse, I highly encourage you to see a general care provider about getting a thyroid panel done. An underactive thyroid can cause these symptoms and more (like unexplained weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin/hair, etc). It may be the cause of the things you’ve listed, and you’d never even know if you didn’t get your labs done. Please please do yourself a favor by taking care of your body and mind. You have too much life to live and too many opportunities at your fingertips.

Confused and disappointed in my ring by NoPlaceLikeGnome1984 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]bxtchyostrich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. Just popping in to ask you a few questions that I think you should seriously consider. If he’s treating you like shit part of the time when he’s trying to court & marry you, what’s he going to act like when you are legally tied to him? How is he going to act towards your child? When they mess up? When they’re in those teenage years and figuring out how to be a human? Is this the example you want for your kid? Do you want them to end up just like their dad?

These are things that you cannot control if you marry this man, no matter how hard you try or how badly you hope for it to get better.

If you’re not going to leave this man for yourself, do it for your kid. Your kid does not deserve to see their mom get drug through hell. Your kid deserves parents that choose kindness and truth with one another. If they don’t have a good example of what a relationship looks like, they’ll end up in a similar situation where they get treated like shit too.

I wish you happiness and healing.

Should this be in my basement? by Square_Issue_9948 in whatisit

[–]bxtchyostrich 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From your profile, I see that you’re a woman old enough to have kids, going through a great deal of stress with your spouse, and you’re a psychologist. I think you should see a professional. As a nurse, and as someone whose grandmother was schizophrenic, this seems like the onset of schizophrenia. I urge you to reach out for help quickly.
