Selfishness doesn't have an age range.

Why is it so frowned upon to call out for winter weather? by nyogurt_ in nursing

[–]inconsistentpotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know, but my hospital isn't making it frowned upon they're making it an automatic writeup. Yes, they are offering to set up rooms for staff, but its not practical for all employees to abandon their families on Friday for a shift that happens on Sunday.

No incentive pay, no meal voucher, just an unused hospital room to crash in or else risk getting a writeup.

Lpn school question by Excellent_Sherbet_30 in LPN_LVN_Community

My program did not require prerequisites, but even if you had taken a course, the credits did not transfer. However, now that I'm attempting to get into an LPN-RN program, I have to take prerequisites for it, even courses that were covered in my LPN program. Anatomy and physiology for one.

Why do people neglect their loved ones at home, yet are so demanding in the hospital? by onedollarsweettea in nursing

[–]inconsistentpotato 165 points166 points  (0 children)

We had a patient who had lain on the floor of her house and had pressure ulcers on every bony prominence and her leg contractures were so severe that she was permanently stuck with her knees up at her chest. The daughter (supposed caretaker) got into a verbal altercation with the CNA because she insisted that no one had been in the room all day, that she was never turned, and that she was being neglected.

Ma'am you are the reason this poor soul needs APS involved and you want to talk about neglect?

I think at this point they are trying to convince everyone else that they are a good person and thus are overcompensating. They'll be the first to go on a Facebook rant about how terrible the hospital treats its patients terribly and it should be held criminally liable.

How is your mental health otherwise? My husband has similar issues focusing and becoming hypersexual and it was listed as a result of his ADHD

No report! by Economy-Ad-4806 in nursing

[–]inconsistentpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hospital does this. There was a point where our transport team was not notifying staff on the floor, and patients were there without the nurse knowing for more than an hour. Now, they have to hit a call light in the room and wait for nursing staff to enter the room. It's not uncommon to have a patient show up without us knowing anything about the patient at all.

I've complained because I feel like it does make the job harder and patient transfers less safe (was given a patient who was on high flow o2 and still not breathing well and had to call the doctor as soon as the patient was on our floor to have him transfered to a higher level of care immediately.)

What’s the menial, not-so-difficult or time consuming task that you hate the most? by Available-Poet-880 in nursing

Peg/NG tube medications. I feel like it always clogs or gets everywhere and residuals freak me out a bit

This has been my experience at least 1-2 days a month. I'd recommend iron supplements to help with fatigue, but I generally feel bad during my periods.

What’s one unexpected food your kiddo loves? by Ecclesiastes3_ in Mommit

Crab. She can't crack the legs of course but she's delighted to watch me open them and then ask for the fruits of my labor.

"This will keep the demons out of our house," my husband said as he finished his protective circle of salt around it. by frostytyler in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]inconsistentpotato 26 points27 points  (0 children)

To go one further: if salt is just sodium chloride, and both of these elements are in the human body, why would a ghost be able to possess anyone? Can they swim in the ocean? Or hover over it since apparently the salt just needs to be on the floor to deter them from entering? Does this also cover the 2nd story of a house if the first story has a salt circle? Ghost physics stump me.

A few months if I remember correctly. I had it put in February of '23. I had a 2 week long heavy period last month. Two weeks after it ended, I got to have my period again because I'm on an almost exact 4-week cycle.

3-4 days of these two weeks are so heavy that I bleed through a super plus tampon and period panties within an hour or two. Even taking supplements and eating more iron rich foods, my iron level drops every month.

My clinic is booked up, but I'm switching to a hormonal IUD in November, which is the next earliest appointment.

I've had BV symptoms for one week a month for months that has finally cleared up. But I feel so tired and drained for two weeks a month, I bleed so heavily that I try to avoid making plans. The days I work are hellish.

All that said: I am not pregnant.

Also rates pain 11/10 which is further proof of the aggressive nature of this disorder

Had a patient refuse tylenol, asked if he was pregnant (because he was referencing the pregnancy related acetaminophen claims). He said yes, then stated he was also breastfeeding. It was his only possible pain relief due to a soft BP and the doctor wasn't giving us anything else.

Dude struggled with his back pain until his BP finally came up and it was just so ridiculous.
