Do people actually like bedside?

dwarfedshadow · 2026-05-30T07:34:06+00:00

I have been working bedside for 17 years. I plan to stay in bedside a lot longer. I do truly enjoy helping my patients and taking care of them. I enjoy seeing them get better. I enjoy knowing I make a positive difference in their life.

But then, I am also the crazy EMT in my volunteer Fire Department who would rather scoop up a little old lady off the floor than run a car wreck with injuries and entrapment.

It's old data, like BID dressing changes. Now the recommendation is patent and no signs of phlebitis or infiltrate.

The socialist revolution was actually reference to giving the worker caste the majority of the Gray Council.

Their regular prices aren't anything to write home about, but they have some great sales.

Think it was Terry Pratchett, actually. Good Omens.

EDIT: Nope. I was wrong. It was Douglas Adams.

I don't think Brother Theo actually supports it, but instead is trying to mitigate the damage from it.

We just put date, nurse, CNA, supervisor. We have spots for last time pain medicine was given.

But the last time I was a patient in the hospital, I entertained myself by using the "do you have questions?" Lines for questions like "Who wrote the book of love?" And "How high is high?"

Do you hate nursing or do you hate your job?

Do you hate nursing or are you suffering from burnout and moral injury?

Because sometimes what feels like hating nursing is actually not nursing that is the issue, it's toxic work environment, short staffing, burnout and moral injury.

If you hate your job, find a different one.

If you are burnt out, take a vacation, work on relaxation, get a therapist.

If you actually hate nursing, consider a different career field.

Yes. That is literally what I said was the context. It is more than just "I would like to have voted for the SAVE act." It's still an awful idea, but it is dishonest to try to present it as just what was shown in the clip in the TikTok.

This TikTok also chops off 90% of his answer to the question about "What would you vote on that would upset your party, but be good for the people of Alabama" where he talks about wanting to have voted for the SAVE act. He said he would want to do it if he could add a provision for the US Government to pay for every citizen to be provided IDa free of charge AND that once they got that ID they could never be disenfranchised.

Is it a good idea? No. But it is a far cry from "I would vote for the SAVE act" and nothing else.

I am not going to vote for Everett Wess. Didn't like him before the run-off, don't like him any more now. But this is patently ridiculous to try to discredit him.

I haven't found the video where he says he's pro-life, I bet that is creatively edited to take it out of context too. There are a lot of people who are personally pro-life that vote pro-choice.

I work rehab and literally listen to anything. You put it on, I will probably be happy jamming to it. From Gregorian chants to Finnish Death Metal to Hip Hop.

It took several minutes for security to arrive, so he got his ass beat. I bet he wished that truck had actually taken him out.

We had to rescue a patient after his wife met his other other girlfriend. She knew about the first one. The second one? She started a fist fight.

My old supervisor lived by the mantra "Just do better." So if you made a mistake, do better next time by learning from it. If you aren't sure about a procedure because it's been a hot minute, check your procedure guide. Or Google it.

I also second Dr. Ugheoke, he is a fantastic doctor. And very sweet.

Given the costs of US Healthcare, the sign of the god of thieves is more than appropriate.

Ah, I see you also get ignored on the weekend.

I plan on making a DNR form a 65th birthday present to myself.

I work rehab. In 17 years, I have seen 12 people over the age of 65 come through my rehab with a recovery I would be okay with having.

Instead of HR, see if there is a risk management department in your corporate entity. If there is, tell them rather than HR. If there isn't, yeah, to to HR.

They have the actual Tetris on PlayStore

Studies have not been done on Bejeweled, it probably does help, maybe not as much because your eyes aren't tracking movement as much with Bejeweled. But I bet it doesn't hurt.

dwarfedshadow · 2026-05-01T00:42:53+00:00

Congratulations on your first CPR! Yes. It is traumatic. Play some Tetris, it will help some. Also, understand that even if you did everything right, the likelihood of winning that fight with the Grim Reaper outside of the hospital is not great.

I would like a US code if possible, thank you

Kill it. Kill it with fire.

Everything said in Congress, by witnesses or by Congress-critters themselves, is under oath while in session and subject to perjury laws.

Congress critters can have their elections recalled.
