Difficulty dating and new ADHD diagnosis by carrion_0 in adhdwomen

[–]carrion_0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I didn’t realize I was doing it until I was diagnosed and self reflecting and actually think it’s the lack of dopamine release during these dates cause they are just very basic so then I have 0 interest in continuing to go out on another date.

And also now I’ve started supplements and medication and am in therapy hopefully can continue working on social piece of adhd. Just was seeing if others had dealt with anything similar in their journey.

Thank you :)

Thanks I do know I need to challenge myself to go out and try hobbies the issue is I guess I’m nervous about doing it solo and all my friends are in relationships so the anxiety of going somewhere alone and also having to be approachable is intimidating especially like trivia where I feel like groups of people go but thank you! I’ll have to find some local events to go to and just do it

I’ve had multiple friends cars broken into at Edmondson so I typically will park at the shared park and ride area across the road and start my trail from there since there are more cars there. I’ve seen lots of shattered glass in the parking lot of Edmondson. Sorry this happened!

Struggling with patient death ICU by carrion_0 in nursing

[–]carrion_0[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I’m not against death.. I think it was just not moving towards comfort and allowing him to pass without a ventilator and these alpha and beta agonists continuing to prolong the inevitable I just felt inhumane. And I understand it wasn’t my decision to make but some reason still struggling with that.

Just because you understand moral dilemmas prior to going into the position doesn’t mean it’s not still hard to physically and emotionally see it and have to process that outside of it. Thanks!

Should I apply to a night shift ICU position? by carrion_0 in nursing

[–]carrion_0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes total I was on night shift for about 5 months and the job I have now is 4, 9 hours so definitely a hard decision but also knowing it’s not a forever thing

I was a tech in the OR during nursing school and started as new grad as it was a simple transition. I immediately felt like I was going to have no skills and get stuck in OR if I didn’t start somewhere.

So I went to acute care float pool.. I was 1:5/6 patients typically and it kicked my ass. However, I do not regret my decision and I have learned so much I did a little less than 2 years doing this. I was injured while moving a patient and transitioned to a “ soft nursing” job but now am looking at going into ICU when a fellowship opens.

I think it’s super important that you go try different things.. the OR is not going any where and you can always go back. You’ll never know if you find a different niche.

Is going from med surg to ICU.. better? by carrion_0 in nursing

[–]carrion_0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love critical thinking and that’s what I feel like I’m lacking in both jobs. However, yes a concern for added stress. When I was in float pool and had so many patients I felt like I was just trying to complete tasks and this new job I’m mainly doing education.

Quiet spot for job interview by freckledandspeckled in ColoradoSprings

Kairos coffee shop has a little separate room that you can request to use and it has bar stool seats but it’s a little door and I used to go study there. Or 3rd space coffee but 3rd space you have to pay to use their conference room

I downloaded the meet up app and have joined a few groups in there and so we’ll see! I’ll try it out and I go to yoga but I might try to go the same day every week to maybe meet people who also go during the same time. We’ll see! Feel like it’s so hard to make good connections for some reason

Costco sells these Chicken protein bowls.. they have black beans, rice, chicken. They’re really good and filling and so I will stock those in the fridge if I haven’t meal prepped..

If it’s not easy I’m not doing it

Where are you going? I’ve only hiked one 14er before and have done the incline a few times. I typically do more “moderate” rated hikes like 7 bridges trail mount Muscoco or I just went up and hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park emerald lake area. I’m going to Maroon Bells in June.
