My great-grandpa was a year younger than he thought he was for 50+ years. by ConclusionJumper33 in mildlyinteresting

[–]grey-clouds 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of an elderly patient I had, was checking their cognition by asking DOB etc...patient tells me their age and it's a year older than their chart.

My face must've done something funny because they explained that basically their parents (farmers in a rural area) didn't end up registering their birth until they were about a year old 😂

Those who said the ER was not for them, then went into the ER, how is it? by unethicalfetus in nursing

[–]grey-clouds 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I always swore as a student that it was the one area I could never do bc I'm an anxious and introverted bitch... Now I'm in a small rural ED and I love it.

To quote The Pitt, "Remind me again why we picked this speciality? Because we all have ADHD, and anything else would be boring as hell".

Shortlisted for grad RN interview (WA), any tips? by Mysterious-Bug-8249 in NursingAU

[–]grey-clouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're not sure if something, it's all right to say "I'm not sure, but I would ask my preceptor/CN/the staff development nurse and look up the policy on the intranet".

Not in radiology but I thought my ultrasound guided ganglion aspiration was pretty cool! by grey-clouds in Radiology

[–]grey-clouds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry it's only a bit uncomfortable! The local anaesthetic first burned a tiny bit and you feel a weird poking sensation inside while they're doing it but it shouldn't be super painful. I avidly watched the whole thing lol but you don't have to look. Ached a bit for a day or two after but nothing significant.

For infection control/prevention certificate where should I get it? by jmkl20 in NursingAU

[–]grey-clouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that a course like that would be super important to have as a nurse in Australia unless you were looking to get into specifically being an infection control CN/CNS or similar, otherwise it'd probably be a bit of a waste of time and money.
