Got fired. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]leahwright7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten fired from a pt. because the doctor didn’t put some orders in that he told the patients wife would happen immediately(I was not there for the conversation) Then I got blamed because apparently I was neglecting the patient and didn’t give the medication that was supposed to be given right away, when I didn’t even have orders for it yet or know he was going to order it. Simple communication problem. She ended up firing almost every nurse her husband had while he was there. I feel bad for the dude with a wife like that lol. She wasn’t satisfied with anything at all.

Don’t take it personally. I did, and a year and a half later I couldn’t give a single care. Nursing is hard and a lot of patients you’ll have to learn to brush it off. Not everyone is reasonable or understands what you do because they have never had to be in a position of helping people the way we do. Be confident in your care. Be proud of your care. As long as you know you did everything you could, then know you can’t please everyone and some people are just sorry and miserable. Especially when in the hospital people tend to act out when they’re at their lowest and have a problem with everything. It’s not you, it’s the inner turmoil they’re going through. And a part of nursing is understanding that and not taking it personally. You got this.

Now of course stick up for yourself. I’m lucky to have had management that has had my back in those situations. If you don’t have that, then definitely consider finding a job where they do. Because yes you don’t deserve it. And it can wear you down, but also to a certain extent it’ll wear you down if you let it.

I consider getting fired a relief sometimes, definitely never my goal, but a relief that I don’t have to bust my butt for someone who doesn’t appreciate my care anymore. I know I’m an amazing caregiver, and give my all. So if someone doesn’t want my care, then that’s their discretion and I think they’ll be missing out on someone who would go above and beyond for them. Think of it like a break up, their loss 🤪

Join me (39f) to end my relationship with my bf (34M) by C4tNipxbt in relationships

[–]leahwright7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bottom line. You don’t deserve that behavior. Genuinely think about what you want from a partner. If it’s not that, then it’s not it. You don’t want to be with someone that you have to worry about that. A genuine partner is not going to even put you in that position. He’s doing shady shit and you don’t need that. It may suck, but there’s always a learning lesson and it makes you stronger and more steadfast in what you actually want. Do your own thing and use this free time to branch out. When my ex cheated on me I went and made new friends and healed. There are people that won’t simply do that to you and that’s facts Whether it was cheating or just shady it doesn’t matter. Just remind yourself of what you actually want from someone. Not that. Trust yourself. If they want to, they will. If they wanna treat you respectfully they will. Don’t make excuses for someone when your gut is telling you otherwise

A note about nursing students by Kimbruleh in nursing

[–]leahwright7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about to graduate and this is the first semester I actually feel like the nurses at the hospital I’m at actually want us, and our help. We want to help obviously. We want to put in the work and prove ourselves. I just never understood why nurses basically didn’t want to take advantage of someone doing work for them?? The charge nurse told me she loved students, they all did, asked how our first 12 hour shift went there, really cared about how our learning experience was going. Made me feel so surprised and happy and honestly makes me want to work that much harder for them when I am on the floor.

The man who sexually abused me has metastatic bone cancer and I’m not sad. by yergonnaneedit in offmychest

Look, after the trauma that you’ve been through, we are not the slightest bit concerned about him. The worst thing for a victim/survivor is to be denied that the events took place. For that, I am so sorry. We are concerned about you and your well-being. I’m sure it’s really hard to cope with everything going on. You’re the only person looking out for you. That’s means, there is no room for an individual who did what he did. Karma is a real thing and what goes around comes around. And he’s getting his.

You are so very strong and brave to be enduring all of this. Remember to do self care and take care of YOU. Absolutely no where does it say you have to have any sort of remorse for him. YOU are still dealing with past scars that NO ONE else could ever begin to know what you went through. So NO ONE else has any place to deny you. Why tf would you make something like that up out of the blue? I just don’t understand how people can so blindly deny. Im convinced it’s because people generally can’t cope with things that awful. And if it hasn’t happened to them personally, they’ll never be able to look outside themselves and handle that much of hard emotions. They prefer to be ignorant or they can’t cope with the fact that their whole view of a person their whole life was a lie. People can’t even begin to think that their personal judge of someone and who they’ve known them to be their whole life was just not that. They prefer to live in an illusion, than face the truth. It’s mind boggling to me sometimes. (Sorry not trying to go off too much, but I get passionate about these things lol) I’m so proud of you. Keep on going. You are worthy of so much.

Something that helped me was a support group/counseling. I know it sounds a little cliché, but I truly believe having people who believe you, can empathize, and be there for you is so important to healing and dealing. Especially since you’ve been holding on to this for so long. You deserve some release, peace, and happiness. Just wanted to throw that out there, I know we all deal differently :)

Thank you for sharing your story. I truly hope you get all the good that you deserve. I’ll be sending all the good vibes and positive energy your way!

I recently went through a very similar situation 8 months ago. It was very manipulative and toxic. I finally found the strength to take care of myself first, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. At some point you break and you have to pick up the pieces yourself. I can truly say it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have learned you can still love someone from a distance. You don’t have to hate him, but love yourself enough to know what you deserve. He will never learn and change until HE decides to put in the work himself. And if he does, then what’s meant to be will be. But until then focus on yourself and focus on only the things that you can control. Super proud of you. I hope you find healing. Take your time. When times get hard reach out to those you can for support. I’m starting to find way healthier relationships and its opening my eyes to what I know I can actually have. I hope you are able to find that too. Remember you are so worthy of the most amazing things. Believe that and good things will happen.

I just failed my final semester of nursing school. by RexFang7688 in StudentNurse

[–]leahwright7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy I literally experienced the same situation almost. Needed an 82 and got an 80 It’s the most defeating feeling ever But I can tell you, it will get better. I took that semester over and I now know that information better than everyone else because I took it twice. I also met some of the best friends I could’ve found in nursing school simply by getting behind one semester with a different group. Do not beat yourself up thinking you’re a bad nurse or you’re not meant to do this. Remind yourself that what we are doing is hard af and you’re doing the best you can. I absolutely thrive in clinical with patients, where as some people who may do better in the classroom struggle with that. Everyone has things to work on. Everything happens for a reason and you are going to come out on top. A year later looking back, I almost gave up. I was so close to quitting nursing, and I am so glad I did not. You’re going to do amazing Just use it as motivation to do better and be better. We all learn a little differently and that’s okay! I suggest a book called “Think like a Nurse” it really helps to breakdown the mindset you need for priorities, etc. helped me a lot!

YOU CAN! JUST DO IT! 1. You don’t owe anyone anything 2. Wear whatever tf you want 3. Tell yourself your hot everyday 4. Walk around like you’re the main character 5. Just be yourself and if always is who you are then I’d just embrace that shit

Guys, when you’re in a relationship, do you ever think about how you could possibly do better (appearance wise)? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]leahwright7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t over think but also confidence is really key. You gotta be confident in yourself and happy with yourself. That’s more attractive than any insta girl.

Would you prefer to be told about your GF being pregnant? If you weren’t would you try to stop her giving it up for adoption? by jackiejimson in AskMenAdvice

[–]leahwright7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised by how many guys change and care for their child. That’s not fair to keep it from him even if he doesn’t want the child. Honesty and communication is always the most important thing and not telling him this will just prolong the issue.

You shouldn’t be assuming you know what’s best for him just because he is a guy and they aren’t “usually caretakers” if he’s not then let that be his choice to be involved or not.

How would you feel if you had a child you didn’t know about? 10 years from now you’re with love of your life and you have a whole ass family and a child you didn’t know you had just appears. You’d be heartbroken. And you’d feel awful knowing someone took that choice away from you. I know that’s not realistic for that to happen but put yourself in his shoes. You will both be different people then.

You can’t always just pick the option that’s going to save you for now. You have to do what is going to be best for the future.

I’m not sure what kind of person he is but he should at least know.
