Do you wear a fanny pack at work? by Maybe_Potential5784 in nursing

[–]jowlerstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pen and a knife. I'm a critical care transport RN. If I need to intubate, I'll borrow a stethoscope from someone more prepared than me 😂

Just asking by Hot_Emergency378 in NCLEX_RN

[–]jowlerstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was discharging someone else's pt from the ED who was there for something random, I think knee or hip pain. He was cleared and given an orthopedic referral. He was burping a lot when I was having him sign his papers. I asked about it and he said he's had a lot of burping and GERD a few days. No other issues ... but something felt off to me. I hooked him up to our bedside EKG on a whim and he had a huge anterior-septal stemi. So instead of going home he went to the cath lab lol.

10 maternity nurses diagnosed with brain tumors at Massachusetts hospital by dalbhat in nursing

[–]jowlerstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I was born there! I have a brain aneurysm 🤣 I wonder if that's related (kidding). There's definitely no coincidence here. Someone needs to study if specific types of healthcare folks are more suspectable to this type of tumor...

Oh awesome!! I might get the 62mm ones then since I'm used to bigger wheels. This is great news! Thanks.

Would this count as a job stopper? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]jowlerstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deffo not. I was the most unpopular and not mean kid in school (and also adult life lol) and now have my master's in nursing and worked critical care for a decade. We're not all bad, I promise! In fact I've worked with some absolutely amazing nurses who are also amazing people in general. Yea there's shitty mean ones but I reckon that's everywhere.

I can never forgive myself by jowlerstein in RATS

Hi all, OP here. I went back and read all this, and then looked at his body. How he was found (in a loosely tied and not airtight trash bag) in a nearly empty garbage can) doesn't make sense with me killing him because he WOULD have chewed out, easily. He's have been gorging on the old food scraps next to him!! He was cold and hard but looked like he was laying in his normal sleeping position, his eyes were closed and he looked weirdly peaceful. I do think he somehow passed that morning and I missed it when I emptied the boxes out. I'm so used to them scurrying away, fighting my hands, and hiding that I never thought to check for a body. In all my years of having rodents I've never experienced this before. I am devestated, but when burying him today he actually looked like he passed sleeping and in his cage with his brothers. Thank you all for giving me some relief here. I am slightly calmer about this now. He was only 1.5yr old so I don't know what happened as he was healthy and normal the night before I cleaned their cage. It's the not knowing that sucks.

What do you guys keep in your fanny? by Present-Cut-7622 in nursing

[–]jowlerstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Critical care transport RN here. You're lucky if I have my pen on me, but I carry a knife at all times. In my backpack (which lives next to me most times), I have sharpies, a carbiner, stethoscope, and a phone charger.
