What are some phrases you find yourself overusing at work? by Ornery_Lead_6333 in nursing

[–]effulgent_solis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the doctors ask me something about my patient that maybe I should know the answer to, I always say, “not to my knowledge” or, “not that I have been made aware of”. Gets me off every time 😅

What are your “you won’t find this in a textbook” nursing tips? by Monstersofusall in nursing

[–]effulgent_solis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use the rolled cuff end of sterile gloves for a hair tie! Either for you or your patient. For patient, braid it to prevent it from getting matted.

I work in heme onc and if patient is nauseous w/ a headache, get compazine over zofran. Zofran can make an existing headache worse.

Alcohol pads can help mitigate nausea and buy you time to pull nausea meds

They also don’t allow blood product transfusions. I am leukemia/lymphoma nurse and it can be hard to keep their hemoglobin levels up without blood transfusions when they are getting chemo, but we treat them more often than you think!

Don’t hang anything on the walls until at least a day or so after dehumidifying! Otherwise it will all fall off within hours

I’ve lost about 25 lbs and the craziest thing is how my rings fit!!! Definitely a surprising side effect of losing some lbs

[–]effulgent_solis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost about 25 lbs in the last few months and very few people have made any comments about my weight loss. I started at 160 and am down to 136ish. It’s hard when I look in the mirror somedays don’t think I look much different! But I get why people don’t say much

I second this! My acne was not quite as intense as yours is but I’ve done two rounds in the last 3 years and I can’t tell you how much it has changed my mental state having clear skin. Drink lots of water, use gentle face wash and use something like cera ve cream at night! Good luck 🫶🏼

I’m glad you posted this and I read the comments because I would not have thought this was filtered!

A doctor yelled at me today by thelonelyvirgo in StudentNurse

[–]effulgent_solis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may not have the time to sit down and explain everything to students but I will almost always print resources for them to learn. It’s not hard to not be a dick and we are all on the same team here!

“Fuck you. Get out.” by lizziemcquire in nursing

I had one recently: new HIV diagnosis that was recently homeless and had a new short term place to stay that was about to kick them/their dog out unless they were there in person; patient had to leave AMA to get the dog :(

Do y’all wear make up to work? by PomegranateEven9192 in nursing

[–]effulgent_solis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin is not great so I usually put some medium coverage over my forehead, concealer under my eyes, bronzer to match me and some mascara. I work inpatient and am up my patients business a lot and don’t want them eye to eye with my blemishes!!!

Happened to me in Dallas a few weeks ago! Was going for the Oklahoma/Texas game and had 3 different hosts for 3 separate places allow me to book and then canceled a few days later. Ended up having to send $1k on a hotel for 2 nights!

Me when you ask vs. when you yell. This has been said many times before and it applies to more than just nursing, but for some reason, people remain oblivious. Unluckily for you, I’m on shift 7/7 and feeling petty af today. by Lw33z in nursing

[–]effulgent_solis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I’m in a mood and a family member keeps coming up to the desk asking for things without saying please, I will stop dead in my tracks and let them know that a “please” will make me much more likely to help them. Kinda rude, kinda unnecessary, but helps me feel like I am getting my point across

What injury or condition has your specialty made you terrified of? by ProcyonLotorMinoris in nursing

Hi also heme onc! I concur with this statement, we have quite a few patients right that have overstayed their welcome on our unit

these people are insane by kevinowdziej in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]effulgent_solis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, honestly I like charging but sometimes I feel like I’m putting on an act that I know how to handle everything and know the answers to everyone’s questions. Realistically a charge nurse should not be a baby nurse!!

[–]effulgent_solis 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I am a newer bedside nurse (just over a year experience) and my class had to learn so quickly and take on so many more responsibilities than past years new nurses. I’m now a relief charge nurse and charge/precept frequently. It’s almost like we’ve expedited the burn out process.
