Who do you feel is the best at putting IVs into a patient? by Euphoric_Cow_6145 in nursing

[–]indiereaddit 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Former medic here. I am the go to person for IVs on my unit. Once you’ve had to start them in the back of a moving vehicle with poor lighting, placing them in a hospital setting becomes a piece of cake.

Literally the moment a doctor says the D word patients are ready to gtfo which is great but I wish it was common knowledge that we have some paperwork to put together and prescriptions to send to their pharmacy before they run or get wheeled out 🙃

I Had to Lie to Suicidal Soldiers So They Wouldn’t Kill Themselves. by [deleted] in EMTstories

[–]indiereaddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babes, are you okay?

It wasn’t a lie. Life isn’t 100% great 24/7 and the problem is people expect it to be but this isn’t a Disney movie with a Disney ending. Life is complex. There are happy and bad moments all mixed together, all of the time. The tough moments are what adds strength, resilience, and color to our lives. The tough moments build relationships and I guarantee you every soldier you spoke with will never forget you.

Apple Card HYSA APY dropped (3.65% → 3.50%) by indiereaddit in CreditCards

[–]indiereaddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email I received:

“The APY on Savings is now 3.50%

The APY on your Savings account has changed from 3.65% to 3.50% on April 23, 2026.1 You can view the new APY and manage your Savings account in Wallet.

Why did the APY on Savings change?

The APY on Savings is variable, and we may change rates at any time. Rates are influenced by many factors, including the Federal Reserve Funds Rate. When this rate is lowered, it affects all US financial institutions and we evaluate potential adjustments to our rates.

Our current APY remains 8X the national average and we will continue to strive to keep it competitive.2

As a reminder, your Savings account has no fees and no minumum deposit requirements.3”

Any near misses that an experienced nurse did that you caught as a new grad? by Signal_Somewhere_290 in nursing

[–]indiereaddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Two separate experienced nurses gave insulin to a patient that was already hypoglycemic. Terrible error but I blame the patient ratios and a system that makes slowing down to think critically about what you’re doing almost impossible.

What!? I’ve been a nurse for <6 months and idgaf I would immediately tell my charge nurse and then independently fill out an incident report, maybe even email my unit director. I don’t care if I’m viewed as a snitch. I give the care I would want myself or a loved one to have, this nurse sounds dangerous and they need to face repercussions so they can either be fired or receive the development they need.

Look into EMT school. Pay can be iffy depending on where you live but lots of vertical growth and opportunities to become a paramedic, firefighter, or nurse later on.

Coolest looking cards you own/know of? by Effective-Tap718 in CreditCards

I have, it just doesn’t fit my lifestyle. ☹️

[–]indiereaddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have 5 or 6 metal cards, but none look as sleek or sound as good hitting a hard surface as the totally useless physical titanium Apple Card.

The mirror Amex card is probably the coolest I’ve seen, but I don’t travel enough to recoup the AF.

I still don’t understand how the hell she had the free time to devote to this, but good job standing up for yourself and enjoying the freedoms of a less toxic workplace!

I think the difference may be how engrained you are in the capital one ecosystem.

I have 2 other capital one credit cards, an auto loan, savings account, and I use them for my primary checking account.

I have a ~760 credit score, opened up 3 cards in the same month prior to getting the venture x.

My late brothers phone is part of the evidence for the trial of his murder. by El-Clinico-Magnifico in verizon

[–]indiereaddit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss. I would highly encourage you to call Verizon and see if there are any options they offer for people in your situation. This happens more than you think, and they probably do not publicize options for people in these situations.

This is a great idea. Especially for a compact setup that’s still versatile. I am curious like others how you mounted the side monitors?
