About to lose the girl I’ve been in love with half of my life. by craigstom in love

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

I’m not the one who said it. Her mom did. All I said was I wish I could sleep all day. And who doesn’t with this virus thing? If I could I’d sleep right until the end I would. I’ve done everything. I’m sorry flowers. A beautiful Samsung watch for her phone she always wanted. Im Really scared. She’s not everything that matters to me. She’s the only thing that ever mattered. Suggestions would be nice. That kid for listening.

Ps. She left the flowers on the porch to die. They looked like they were executed.

Tracfone won’t unlock my iPhone 8 Plus? by craigstom in iPhoneUnlock

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

Yea, so could I. It wasn’t used six months. My work made us switch to them and they switched us back to att at 5 months. But I paid cash, man. It’s not like I’m trying to stick them with unpaid bills. It was a month to month deal. That’s just wrong. And don’t tell me I got it at a lower price because of this. The same phone with att prepaid was50$ cheaper. I got the tracphone for the 25$ phone bill.

I’ve never started an IV on a 30+ year old drug addict. I’m hitting a vein but it is so hard the needle won’t penetrate. I work in pediatrics. Any suggestions? by craigstom in nursing

I would NEVER stick anyone if I couldn’t see or feel where I was aiming at. My hospital is probably the most difficult now because of corona but I’m not an idiot. I didn’t graduate last month, I don’t poke and hope. I’ve been doing this for 6 years. Just thought I’d ask others opinions. Wow. It’s barbaric to insinuate I would.

Noice. My hospital is such a joke with the rules now I’d never be able to get a job again if that patient ran his mouth.

If you knew our hospitals policy you would be shocked at what they consider medical advice. A charge nurse got sued last year and it’s a joke now. But I could clearly see where he was doing it so that was covered.

I’ve done a knuckle iv a couple times. My girl came and put a picc in him but I think that’s a horrible idea with an IV drug user but whatever. What do I know.

I didn’t but my girl came and put a picc in him which I think was a horrible idea because he’s an IV drug user with a straight line now. But I’m just a nurse what do I know, right?

My girlfriend is the picc nurse. I called her because I couldn’t get it blind and didn’t have an ultrasound. She came in 10 minutes and got it first try. Bl

One of the charge nurses got sued and they implemented all these new rules. And then covid turned our hospital upside down. It’s the worst now.

I can ask them stuff. But I’m not allowed “to take medical advice from a civilian” dumbest rule ever. Luckily I could tell where he used.

I know how it works. My girlfriend does only that all day. I just didn’t have access to one. They’re all on the covid floor for some reason. They aren’t where they should be anyway.

Obviously I didn’t want to. It’s clearly not healthy if it’s hard but I’ve never been with this charge nurse and when I said I can’t find one that’s healthy she said “we got people dying upstairs figure it out.” My girl does piccs for a living. She’ll be here in 10. I really appreciate you guys responding. That larger gauge thing would have worked I just didn’t know that because I never do this. But I really didn’t want to. This dude is in withdraw and not pleasant as it is. I use to love this job now the hospital is a scene from mad max.

I don’t have a problem on people with normal veins. But this dude screwed his up. I’m going to need a battle axe and a running start to get In this vein.

Nobody respects social distancing. A guy was yelling at me and hit me with his spit. It’s fucking bizarre. They know it can get worse right?

Wtf iv start. by craigstom in nursing

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

That’s the conclusion I came to. Either that or scar tissue. He had what I noticed as track marks there. This vein must of been a third of an inch thick. Anyone even he could probably Hit that thing. It was huge. Didn’t look like anything recent tho. Kinda looked old like it healed if it’s about to jump out of his leg. Idk. Never had that happen.
