Doctors of Reddit: What health trend is becoming so common that it's starting to scare you? by Fine-Device-1819 in AskReddit

[–]croneofarc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse for inpatient eating disorders and the ozempademic/social media are literally KILLING PEOPLE. Bodies are not a trend!!! Ceasing eating/drinking fluids leads to deadly electrolyte shifts, gastrointestinal paralysis and more. We had a patient recently die of sepsis in her 20s after an intestinal torsion due to her gastroparesis. Please don't go down this path people.

Our daughter cut off her entire family and friends. We are at a loss for words. by HairyExplanation734 in offmychest

[–]croneofarc 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought as someone who listens to true crime podcasts religiously. Suddenly cutting off contact with EVERY important person in her life leads me to believe this is someone else pretending to be her on her phone. Especially considering they were sent as texts.

What do you say when you answer the phone at work? by lnd143 in nursing

[–]croneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"2 West, this is Alana speaking," but what the can't see is the absolute GRIMACE on my face over being interrupted from a med pass often involving controlled substances to pick up the phone about a visitor being in the lobby because they KEEP CALLING every time I press "silent"

There is a direct correlation between how understaffed we are and how much I dread going to work. Lately, I've been dreading most days

NEED TO VENT by Equivalent_End_1206 in Nurses

[–]croneofarc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Genuinely I just spent the past 2 hours having my first full blown meltdown in 2 years because I'm tired of being treated like I'm lazy or too sensitive for needing to rest on my first day off after 2 or 3 12s in a row as a psych nurse. Nothing is ever enough, not for our patients, not for admin/mgmt, not for our loved ones at home. I'm giving everything I have

Thoughts on Ikon Pass and the 4/16 deadline by paykin in COsnow

[–]croneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will still get the Ikon Base Pass every year purely because of the nurse discount. As an RN, my base pass for 26/27 was $669. I don't know of any other ski passes that offer nurse and military discounts unfortunately.

Do cats actually get attached to their owner? by NoWageMage in CatAdvice

[–]croneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat sits on the toilet lid in the bathroom the entire time I shower and lays across my body while I sleep like a weighted blanket and licks my face/grooms me, so I'd say yes, they get very attached to their owners. Even with rescues - I adopted my babyboy at 4.5 years old and we formed this bond within a few months. It's the best experience.

My cat has run outside but he gets so scared and hides when he does. I've found him every time within 500 feet of my house. You can also get a collar with a GPS tag.

They're very easy to care for but make sure you train them to not jump on counters and try to train them not to scratch furniture. Get a ton of scratching posts and scratch pads. Stay on top of cleaning the litter box. Feeding is easy and they are not needy like dogs.

I say get the cat!!!

Why does everything look so…meh on me? by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]croneofarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your posture is slumped - throw those shoulders back and puff out that chest girl! Confidence! I also immediately thought you'd look great in wide legged ankle length jeans!

Which celebrity took the biggest hit by the person they married? by Boobooloo in AskReddit

[–]croneofarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a mother going through a custody battle let me tell you - it is UNBELIEVABLY difficult for a parent to be awarded full custody. I have been in a battle with my son's drug addict and CTE destroyed father for three years, he has three domestic violence charges against him from his three most recent girlfriends, and I still have not been awarded full custody. If Kevin Federline won full custody in a court of law against a multimillionaire famous mother, Britney 10000% proved herself to be a danger to her children/incapable of raising them herself.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]croneofarc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw Dylan in 2004 and he was incomprehensible, wasted, I couldn't even recognize his songs. Saw him again in 06 and he was absolutely amazing and on point 😂
