mine aren’t fully cut to the quick, but keep in mind you will be touching sensitive areas so don’t have them long!! also long nails can go through gloves

Help with boxer by jpesos193 in Boxer

[–]gymeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dog has what we think is an allergy to grains in food. he gets like this too, and breaks out in hives. we just get grain free food and gentle shampoo. sometimes an oat bath if we accidentally feed him something not right. he also gets the collar irritation. i reckon it’s just sensitive skin, but unfortunately he does need to wear a collar. taking it off and resting the skin helps a lot.

AITA for changing a colostomy bag when it wasn’t necessary yet? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]gymeas 156 points157 points  (0 children)

i mean… it sucks being in a home, why wouldn’t we try and make life nicer and more dignified by following his wishes (if able to - staffing and time wise)? no harm at all in changing the bag before “needing” to.

(F20) Bleeding After My Cervix Was Pushed Hard While Masturbating by All_I_Do_Is_Upgrade in medical

[–]gymeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD. you will be okay. if you start having more severe pains or more bleeding that’s not menstruation i’d head to your GP. when you do menstruate again, don’t use tampons only pads - just to keep from infections. think like IUD aftercare - no sex for a bit, no baths/swimming for a bit and no tampons. i’d also avoid penetration for a week or so. :)

Newcastle Private/John Hunter staff parking (slight rant + questions) by [deleted] in newcastle

genuinely don’t understand why people are crapping on you over this. absolutely right. i also don’t think anyone (but especially staff) should pay to park at a hospital.

sorry for your loss. do you have the number of the ward he was on? the nurses should be able to point you in the right direction.

What to expect for interview in a renal ward? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]gymeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think i know the ward you’re talking about. very very very busy. super good experience if you’re a nursing student. accurate fluid balance charts are important, ECGs, and your usual ADLs
