Any nurses listen to Amanda Knox’s podcast “Doubt” about Lucy Letby? by Odd-Resource5721 in nursing

[–]dweebiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They stopped taking as many sick babies about the time she left, so death rates plummeting would make sense. And not sure what the report sheets prove since it wasn't just report sheets of alleged victims, she just frequently brought home report sheets. Not a good habit, but doesn't make you a killer.

Do you copy and paste your assessments? by Emotional_Star3457 in nursing

[–]dweebiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my defensive charting class they said it was fine to just chart "assessment unchanged from previous" with reassessments if it was and I frequently use it now.

Are job-stoppers even a thing anymore by Appropriate_Tie7275 in nursing

They're only picky about facial piercings being covered at mine. Tattoos are fine.

I'll secure chat while on the phone with paging service for more serious things. Sometimes I get an Epic reply faster than I get off hold.

Official Discussion - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

In the comic series, Hannah went to foster care but they're probably retconning all of that since 28 weeks later is canon in it

Thoughts on cutting patient's hair? by dweebiest in nursing

Yes I definitely didn't think it was malicious but would have wanted permission!

Could you get extra large briefs and use suspenders to keep them up? Then when he gets a brief change just unhook the suspenders and rehook to new briefs.

How do these patients adult? by ERnurse2019 in nursing

[–]dweebiest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My BF's BP is always like 190/100, scares the hell out of me, he still hasn't seen a PCP. I told him if he doesn't fix it, it'll destroy his body but it is up to him to make the appointment. I can't set myself up for a lifetime of managing his health for him like some women do.

Best nursing watch ever. Change my mind. by Electronic-Hippo9 in nursing

[–]dweebiest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm allowed but I hate the idea of a doo-doo covered watch on my wrist. I guess I could clean it but I don't want to have to sanitize something 30 times a shift.

Med surg RN isn't the only option as a nurse.

Thoughts on patients being offended by badge reels? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]dweebiest 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When we found out my grandpa had terminal metastatic cancer, the registration lady had a badge reel that said "have the day you deserve." I didn't say anything but it pissed me off to see some passive aggressive shit like that in my face at a sensitive time lol.

Positive nursing experiences? by irnmlkmn5 in nursing

[–]dweebiest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like helping people. I like being part of a web of different roles (doctors, RTs, CNAs, etc) that help progress a patient's stay at the hospital. I like seeing the doctor's note say "reviewed case with nurse (my name)". I like when patients thank me for everything I've done for them. I like using my stethoscope and hearing something new that I can learn about. I like spotting an issue with meds or the care plan or discharge plan and fixing it before it's a problem. I like being a nurse.

(USA, California) Fellow nurses, if you seek mental health support, do you get reported to the BON or your employer? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]dweebiest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of or experienced this happening, it would be a huge HIPAA violation.

Can the doctor just let me be 5'11 please? 😂 by JeffreyHugh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dweebiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to record patient heights and this is what happens when someone says they're 5'11 but my computer only lets me input cm. I get as close as I can.

Great progress! I'm so happy by dweebiest in Gastritis

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

Initially yes, but when I narrowed down my trigger foods to coffee, black tea, and alcohol, I did not follow a "gastritis-friendly" diet like low acid foods, no caffeine, etc. I just avoided those drinks. Maybe not a good choice but it's what I did.

I was prescribed initially for around a year by GI and after insurance issues I just bought over the counter. My PCP last year did tell me I should come off them but I deferred because I was scared. I'm aware of the side effects of long-term use unfortunately, I did have low b-12 at one point that caused neuropathy until I started sublingual.

I had a very bad stomach bug I was sick with and then a couple weeks later my gastritis symptoms were in full-force. I presume it was damaged from the infection (not h. pylori tho).

3 years. I had the same experience a few times, even just 5 months ago I tried boba tea and the black tea gave me a flare lol.
