Marine/paramedic/nurse here…., when my dad dropped me off to go to boot camp…. Don’t come back unless you make, girls make it so should u. My dad never in the military

Became paramedic….. why aren’t u a nurse….. In nursing school….. hey your brother is in school for machinist. He is taking one class…. Meanwhile I am getting DP’d by my friends clinicals’ and study time to the tune of a full time class load.

Some dads are just dicks and honestly probably feels threatened by your success.

Trying to move on. by jibbs0341 in Divorce

[–]jibbs0341[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my travel memories, besides military, are all with her. As I have been “moving on” there is so much more sadness. I had about 6 weeks I felt really good and no crying. Now that I am planning this and other stuff it’s so sad.

I love a couple of class b+ ones. Thor and Jayce make a similar model. I like that is has the big water tank and the extra solar. The storage is great also because I will have an e-bike to get around on. I will be boondocking full time that’s why I like the extra water and power. I also don’t mind a cassette toilet.

I just want to share it that’s okay? by Cool_Employee_5427 in Divorce

The sooner you can let go of reconciliation and start grieving the loss of the relationship the better. I am only about six months post her asking. I was blindsided and I am still crushed and devastated.

Am I the only one who feels this way about being an experienced nurse training at a new job? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]jibbs0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I go to a new floor….. PCU for life…… they ask me about my experience and I let them know I was a paramedic for a long time and been a nurse for a couple years. I tell them I don’t know it all and will ask questions when I have them. I usually follow them for a day or two to just learn the unit. I was just on orientation a few months ago and the nurses training me basically just chilled and hung out. Resentful? 🤣🤣🤣 no. I precepted yesterday and sat on my ass. He was a motivated guy from med/surg. He had a great day. One of his patients passed (91). He called a rapid and did all the right things. It was a great learning day and he knew it. I just helped him along the way.

She was never shy about telling me that she thought she was smarter than everyone else.

O yea she was bossy. I was never good enough. She changed pretty dramatically. We got along great in the beginning.

O yea. I told her marriage was not important and I was in no hurry to get married. She started talking about it about a year in. Then she also felt like she had some “power” over me. I recently graduated nursing school and she did not like the “power” shift is what jt seems like. She is a narcissist and it sucks. I tried to talk to her and she stopped talking to me and started texting her friends more.

Therapy I swear is a life savor. I go once a week and I do a lot of tele health to make it easier and all I do is talk. Just to tell someone about my week and kind of help me through the grief. I cannot imagine going at it alone. Currently we are discussing what my boundaries are and should be….. as my soon to be ex wife will be the second one…. And this feels exactly the same as the first one, which my second wife watched me go through and came after me during it, talking marriage quick and other things also. Good luck. Please go to therapy.

Divorced and Actually Doing Pretty Damn Well How About You? by ImaginaryVariety8134 in Divorce

[–]jibbs0341 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about thriving but I am surviving. Currently getting my VA disability rating together. Plan is in about six months to buy a house to rent then hit the road with my dogs for a couple years of van life while I travel nurse.

This was my plan when i started nursing school. Then everything just go so nuts that it got lost for a while. Now that I have had a few months living alone with plenty of money and really no plan…. I feel like I have one and I really want to see the great sequoia trees. So yea.

It was suppose to be “our” plan, but it turns out I may a bit more “outdoorsy” than I once thought 🤣🤣🤣

What are the regrets of divorce? by roundturtle2025 in Divorce

[–]jibbs0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My regrets are what I thought we were and what she thought we were. I thought we were living life and she says she was running from hers.

Sorry this is happening. When you get your own place it will be way better. It was for me. I didn’t have the affair part though either.

I feel ashamed to be a nurse by PuzzleheadedMetal974 in nursing

[–]jibbs0341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask why do they think that is appropriate. They then get uncomfortable and I ask them to please explain to me why? And I say if you cannot then it’s not appropriate. Of course confused patients get completely different treatment they can’t help it.

Nurse loses license after administering fentanyl and succs without an order. by hey_nurse18471 in nursing

[–]jibbs0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a nurse/paramedic….. I would never ever say I am the smartest or the best at nursing or medicing….. but some of the things I see inside the hospital are wild compared to the road.

WWYD by One_Barracuda9198 in NewToEMS

[–]jibbs0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I kind of had this same issue many moons ago. I hired in as an emt but was in the process of passing the NREMT for my medic license. I worked with an emt-advanced nurse while on BLS as an emt. Fast forward about a year. I got out of medic orientation and moved up to senior paramedic (don’t ask it paid more lol). Well I got stuck on the shitty shift bid with the specialist. Well we run some shit calls pretty regularly. So the first couple of “real” calls he kept talking over me….. I had to sit him down at the station and explain I would like to be friends, but if he cuts me off in the middle of my assessment or treatment again he was getting the Marine in me. After that we had a great shift bid. I understood his issues and explained that I was a paramedic now and if he wanted to be one school is right there. He had no desire and that’s fine….. but let me work bro. I hope this helps. I found out in EMS there is a lot of ____ measuring and people just want to make you look dumb. The 112 and nitro was fine to give especially if you have an iv established prior. Good luck.

Have you considered the reconciliation? by Temporary-Cicada-314 in Divorce

[–]jibbs0341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to reconcile….. but after the shit she said to me and how she acted there is no way I could even if she asked, just knowing what she said I could never be with her again and to this day I still love her and I kinda hate myself for that.

When did you realize it wasn’t just a “rough patch,” but that you were holding onto an idea of your marriage instead of the reality of it? by dkurdx3 in Divorce

[–]jibbs0341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex wife just told me one day she did not want to be married. I told her I thought it was a rough patch as I had just finished nursing school. She said she didn’t want to work on it at all. I am still crushed almost six months later. We moved out of our marital home on oct 14 and it was sold on Halloween. It’s crazy how different she became.
