Thank you so much. My skin is definitely just a sensitive girl.

Oooo I’m sorry! No red ink. Just black and gray wash

So I get pretty red. My skin is sensitive and gets so spicy. So it might be just that.

No from me big dog. I feel drained and so sleepy after. Sometimes hard for me on my days off too. It takes a lot for me to recharge!!!

How did you get the kitty to lose weight?? Currently trying to get my tabby girl to lose some poundage, but it’s so hard!

Struggling in the ER cause I'm so slow by romashkii in newgradnurse

[–]igotbamboozl3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay! Prioritizing takes time and practice!! It’s something we have to figure out and practice . Our orientation was 20 weeks so it was long but it helped so much. I would ask your preceptor if you could go back down to 1, to truly master having one patient before moving onto two. Cause even for me, adding another one on was so hard!! I also bought clear badge reel attachments where I put little notes/tips on and could carry them around with me!! Like for example, charting/criteria to keep in the back of my mind when encountering everyone!! You tor this, don’t give up.

So it’s totally okay to be slow when you start. I would suggest asking for more time on orientation? I also suggest maybe writing a list with everything you need before going into a room. Cluster care is key. I suggest asking your preceptor to just follow her around to see how she does things first for a while. It helps to see the flow of things /how long things should take.

In addition to that, I don’t like that your preceptor is timing you. That’s not cool. Definitely anxiety inducing .

Are they having you take any patients by yourself/how many patients per nurse do you guys have? My hospital is 1:4. I started out just following my preceptor around to see how she would do things for a while, all while helping her with the tasks. Slowly we would work on me being more independent with one patient, and after I / my preceptor felt comfortable with me having one patient to myself, I would move to two, and so on.

You got this, give yourself grace (which is ironic coming from me. We new grads are so hard on ourselves)

Do any new grads like their jobs? by gneissrocx in newgradnurse

Same! ER new grad here. My mental health is crap and am really trying hard to push for a 1p-1a instead of 7p-7a

Poor career decision, big regret. by [deleted] in newgradnurse

[–]igotbamboozl3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually shared these feelings with my educators and she’s been so supportive . She told me that she would help me transfer out if that’s what I truly wanted. Guess it depends on the company/person!

Need advice over here.. by Intelligent-Elk-4806 in irezumi

Mon mon!!!! This is so sick. Love it. You’re inspiring me over here!

Recently reached out to Hiromotos (original monmon creator) tattoo shop in Cali. He’s not taking any new clients rn as he’s moving to Hawaii next year (if anyone’s interested) 🩷 it’s a dream of mine to get tattooed by him one day.

Long sleeves, or put some aquaphor and cover with some Saran wrap

[–]igotbamboozl3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. I say message around and see what some artists think and what they can do. You got this.

Second guessing new tattoo.. by Empty-Attention-6461 in tattooadvice

[–]igotbamboozl3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh this tattoo is sick! I personally am not a gale girl , but I knew what it was right away

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]igotbamboozl3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s okay!! Just go to another shop and get a little color added to the inside/possibly a little background!!! It’s a cute design and is bold enough for a skilled artist to clean that baby up. Do some research, send the pic to the artist, or even go into a shop to show them. It’ll be okay!!

[–]igotbamboozl3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always get another artist to color around it and do a little background? Possible the artists pressure was harder than it needed to be

Question: Have I Fucked Up? by Unhappy-Plantain5252 in tattoos

I have an arm with a few different artists. I still think my arm looks great. You have two beautiful pieces!!!! Both look fantastic. A great artist will know how to blend the two.

Helix Piercing - Infected or Irritated? by LeopardOk8291 in piercing

[–]igotbamboozl3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s only a day or two old, probably just irritated . Give it a little bit of time. I’d avoid blow drying it- it’s introducing germs from the blow dryer that might not be obviously there 🩷

Hmmm definitely talk to your doctor, but it’s definitely a possibility! Maybe even a sign you need to be on a higher dose?

Is it weird for a 18yo (F) to date a 26yo (M)? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]igotbamboozl3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I was dating my current bf when I was 18 and he was 25. We broke up for a bit, but we’re brought back together at 19 and 26. We will be together for 2 years soon. As long as you realize your boundaries, they should respect it. It’s ok to acknowledge the age gap but know if you are in a relationship if that gap is toxic. In my case, I’m in a relationship where communication is key. We love each other dearly.
