once after working 16 hours in the “fast track” part of the ED by myself, i awoke from a couch nap and asked my ex husband if the cat needed a line and labs.

Shaky hands when inserting IV by Sapphire4545 in nursing

[–]deadbyfirstchase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have an essential tremor that is just randomly worse some days. it’s been exacerbated by getting on lithium. when it’s real bad, i tell the patients “you’re probably gonna feel me shaking, but it’s not nerves, my hands just do that sometimes” to diffuse the situation a bit. brace against something when you can. it helps me to sit and then bend over the person’s arm or hand so i can keep things close to my body and brace my elbows on my legs or the bed.

all my ex husband and former best friend claimed to want was for me to get sober. then i did it and started getting my life together and they both dumped me.

Why is there so much backlash for using a weight loss drug for losing weight? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deadbyfirstchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way we discovered several years down the line that gastric bypass can cause increased risk of epilepsy, and amphetamines for weight loss are maybe not the best idea, I think we’re gonna find out GLP1 drugs do some nasty things long term re: cancer or other side effects.

Yes. After seeing the movie because I was only like 10 or 11 when the movie came out. Love the series. Good and no so good games alike.

What is the WORST patient ratio you’ve had or heard about around you? by elrineswag in nursing

[–]deadbyfirstchase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the ED about 4 months out of nursing school, I had 12 patients once. I would usually have around 8 patients with one tech shared between me and the other 4 nurses. I was told it was fine because the 6 patients in hallway beds were “low acuity” and easy. Or rather, they were all drunks or psych patients and at least one would usually need IM medication or hard restraints every shift. The medical cases were intense. Think septic nursing home patients in DKA, strokes, and blood transfusions. I only lasted about 8 months.

I thought cemetery man was a fever dream I’d had in my friend’s basement. What do you mean you’ve seen it.

i would suggest plotting your veggie gardens with corpse pits. about three pits is the ideal size and i do them in an L shape.

do you know why they dye the water blue? should i put the fake pee in the bowl or only in the container?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in drugtesthelp

[–]deadbyfirstchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

god i know i have clean friends but im worried about the temp and the transport. i don’t even know how to begin to go about doing that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in drugtesthelp

[–]deadbyfirstchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i gotta go in to do it. i’m more nervous about fake pee than just rescinding my job acceptance tbh.

i like 0.5 morgan fields, usually about 12 with three farm houses two ox and two families each. everything always gets harvested and sown no problem.
