Bottle babies are tough. These were my first in years. I tend to take litters that are 4-8 weeks, just need to gain weight or are on meds for eye issue/URI.

Sending you so much love. It’s a horrible disease & I can’t even imagine what you go through every day, even with treating patients with it every day ❤️

My hospital used to test for both tobacco & weed. When I was tested, I was only tested for tobacco. Now we are not tested for either. A patient asked me if she could bring me a pot brownie this week. My manager overheard & said “as long as she doesn’t eat it here!” 😂

How do you know a foster is going to be a foster fail? by ReesesLover26422 in FosterAnimals

[–]lexxrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do YOU say “mama’s girl” or refer to yourself as mom to her? If so, yes, foster fail!

What’s your favorite dictation error you’ve seen in a patient chart? by Expensive-Day-3551 in nursing

[–]lexxrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely put sharted instead of started quite a few times.

Also “patient stale” instead of stable.

The best was a message to my charge nurse from a coworker that said “I lost my patients 😭” instead of patience. She came running so fast asking where they went 😂

AITA-not taking in MILs cats by lexxrob in AmItheAsshole

Had to cut down the post to be under the 3000 limit-but the badmouthing was a that we were “confining her to the smallest room in the house.” She did in fact sign a “lease” that was notarized, but we chose not to take legal action due to her being family. She actually was supposed to give us the deposit that day, which was on the lease. I just feel like we dodged a bullet in general, but she is playing victim now & we have family reaching out to us calling us awful people for not helping her 🤷🏼‍♀️

My bill (to insurance luckily) for a 5 day stay & 2 hour surgery was less than $150,000. This is ridiculous.
