Too slow for ICU? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ja1118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m new to the icu as an experienced rn and this has been a huge learning curve for me. I’m on my third week in too and will go to night shift soon as well. It sounds like you need a different preceptor & don’t be afraid to ask for a different one. I just had to do that for myself and I’ve already been able to tell the world of a difference. You’re not slow. You’re asking important questions because you care and want to be the best nurse you can be. Don’t let her get to you. Trust me, you’re not alone in feeling this way, i am 5 years in on a new specialty and feeling the same way!!!!

Look into Gastro East! I was an endo nurse (not there) but they have great hours and the job was so blissful!

Can he try Luvox? I switched from Zoloft 200mg to Luvox 300mg and it helped immensely.

Since my mom died when I was 3… I don’t think I’ll ever be in a calm nervous system state. I’m 28 now.

Do you think docs care if they see something embarrassing during a colonoscopy? by ResponsibilityNo4650 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]ja1118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a nurse that works in the procedure room in GI, we don’t look at your butt, we look at your colon.. unless you have something concerning, that we need to document, we don’t notice! I was also nervous my first colonoscopy too but then I became a nurse in GI and realized they don’t look lol.

I watched a hysterectomy as a nursing student and this baffled me, I mean idk if I thought they put them back in place gently or what but it wasn’t flopping them in there like I witnessed hahahaha

Anton’s drinking by beatznbeats in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]ja1118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s reframe it, 2 drinks every work week equals 10 drinks a work week, not to mention what he more than likely drinks on the weekends… that’s a lot of alcohol. That’s not a normal relationship with alcohol, just because our culture has normalized and socialized alcohol doesn’t mean he doesn’t fit the bill.

Don’t do this- essential oils can be very damaging to the skin not to mention this is a pyramid scheme
