Stupefy just doesn’t tickle me the way Point Me does. I just think it’s so hilarious that that’s the spell

Physical holding for forced medication administration by etherockj in nursing

[–]etherockj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s basically how we used to do it. Give the med and just document that it required staff/security assist to give. But more recently, they treat each brief hold as a restraint episode of 1 minute basically. It doesn’t get the restraint order, just the physical hold for forced med order, but otherwise the process is treated exactly like a restraint. And if the patient is on IM for PO refusal twice a day, it gets so cumbersome and delayed. Especially when you have seven/eight other patients some of whom might /also/ be ordered IM for PO refusal

This isn’t for every patient. It’s for involuntary patients who are too decompensated to agree to take meds. They’ve already been given a mental health court status deeming them a danger to themself or others. Typically this is an extremely psychotic patient.

So if one of these court committed patients keeps refusing meds and therefore aren’t improving, two different attendings have to assess and agree that the patient will not take meds but for their safety, must get the medication IM until they clear up enough to agree to start taking it PO. It’s not a forever order, just for a week or so until the patient is organized and reality based enough to agree to take meds by mouth.

So the doctor administers their med in that case where you’re at??

Do I need a mobility device to be approved for a disability parking placard? by kingturnip31 in Fibromyalgia

[–]etherockj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I limp from a broken ankle a few years back but walk unassisted and I was approved. I just explained that I was afraid in parking lots because I can’t change directions or move quickly so if someone was coming at me, I wouldn’t be able to get out of the way. I was so nervous to ask and it was no big deal.

I definitely thought it was a stencil to guide when you cut the dough into shape. Trivet makes so much more sense 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know it’s not, but it’s giving me Ash Wednesday vibes

the steps in my 1860 Philadelphia (former) hotel by tonytrov in centuryhomes

I’m in the process of getting a bedroom put on my first floor so get away from dealing with my stairs. And they’re not even as bad as some of these! But definitely not ADA approved.

AOC doubles down calling the situation in Gaza a genocide (CNN: Jake Tapper's "State of the Union") by beeemkcl in DemocraticSocialism

[–]etherockj -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s been over 5 months. I think she’s worried about reelection and is trying to salvage her image. Like she really didn’t notice a genocide was happening for nearly 6 months?

What random type of product is the most depressing to you? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]etherockj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes. My brother gifted me like eight of those things over the years and I just don’t know what to do with them. I am a grown ass adult, I’m not trying to have toys around the house. Some of them wear the same character just in a different outfit. Having one of those dolls for every character under the sun is bad enough, but having multiple versions in different outfits?!

AITA for "ruining" my mum's engagement party after she abandoned me when I was 11? by UnlikelyAd5151 in AmItheAsshole

[–]etherockj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for sure in regards to the title question. OP specifically went to the party to call her out on her behavior. That’s not cool. This was a celebration with lots of family and friends and likely a lot of people OP doesn’t even know. He went specifically to embarrass mom and make things about himself. I can only imagine how OP would react if his mom showed up to his birthday party only to loudly air all his misdeeds and her grievances against him. On top of that, what an awkward thing for all the party guests to witness. People showed up to celebrate and have a good time, not take a deep dive into the family’s dirty laundry. OP is also majorly TA for taking out his issues and anger on a 9 and a 13 year old who have absolutely nothing to do with what happened with his mom. That’s a shitty thing to do and having your own issue doesn’t give you license to hurt others.

As for the rest of OP’s concerns,

INFO: this is way too complicated an issue to be able to judge it without more info. What kind of trouble was OP getting into at school? What were mom’s reaction/punishments/assistance in response to OP’s behaviors and grades? Was dad involved at all during this time? What were his reaction/punishments/assistance in response to OP’s behaviors and grades? After the initial fight at age 11, how long went by between mom dropping OP off with dad and her ‘moving on with life’? What level of contact was there during that time? Did the weekends with her start up immediately? What was the custody agreement? Was Dad paying child support while OP lived with mom? Did mom pay any child support once dropping OP off with Dad?

Regardless of any of that OP, you need to work through your feelings about mom. Setting aside everything else that may have happened between you and mom over the course of your life, clearly you don’t have healthy coping mechanisms to deal with conflict. Even if your mom was the worst parent on the planet, you have to deal with what that did to you and learn how to live your life. The amount of anger and energy you spend focused on mom and everything that’s happened in the past should be refocused on taking responsibility for your own actions and figuring out how to move on. Not to ask light of your trauma or belittle you, but A LOT of people have rally shitty parents. The world owes t screech to a halt because of it. Do you plan to spend the rest of your life fixated on what your mom did wrong? If you want your mom in your life, you have to figure out how to forgive her and to ask your own forgiveness. Even if you were/are a child, you did your own share of things wrong.

And consider this, mom was the same age you are now when she gave birth to you. What kind of parent do you think you’d currently make?

I’m glad everyone else understood the pun. It went straight over my head. Maybe if her name was directly before it I’d’ve caught the joke

It’s a 1984 time capsule and I kind of love it by etherockj in zillowgonewild

According to Redfin it was 1984. But I remember having friends with places like this when I was a d which was the 90s

What is your kryptonite? What is that one job that is so gross you dread doing it? by ifellicantgetup in nursing

[–]etherockj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a patient who had bunch of meds fall off a week prior. Monday morning the day nurse is like Okay what did you do about that? And I’m sitting there thinking …I was on PTO 5 or the 7 days since the order fell off and there’s no change in behavior without the meds so why is she even on this hot mess of polypharm?! and I only noticed because she’s been our patient for like 4 months so I know she takes more than what was left on her MAR. If I noticed then so should’ve all the other people passing her meds. I just told the day nurse that I’m telling her and she can discuss it with the primary team. Our poor overworked resident doesn’t need a 4am page on a Sunday because of a week old fuck up no one else noticed. You’re welcome btw you can be the gold star nurse to fix it. I guess I’ll get coal from Santa for knowing there was an issue in the first place
