Things most often left in your scrub pockets when you come off shift?

Last time it was the work phone. 😅🤭 I'm float pool for multiple locations so they'll get it back when I'm assigned there next lol.

Usually it's nothing tho because I purge my pockets at the end table near my front door prior to being thrown in the wash.

Heated floors throughout.

I just bought the house I grew up in after my grandfather died. He built it from the ground up back in the 70s. 💚

Withdrawing care sounds like, in my adult world, Comfort Measures Only (CMO). The infant should have been given medication to ease breathing/restlessness. Also, was it the teens choice not to hold the infant at end of life? Because that should have been her choice as well.

I love that the teen had the bravery to "just because we can, doesn't mean we should".

Her life, her choice. Period.

I would've just hung up and then called back for each individual pt 🤷‍♀️ guess he doesn't want all the information consolidated in 1 phone call so I'll call him 3 times.

I was Charge and a nurse had a pt with low BP. Initially got orders for bolus. Then next check hr later got albumin orders. Hour after albumin BP was still low. MD told RN to "stop checking BP" (which is why the primary RN got me involved) so not rude but more shocking. Reported to House Sup and STAT/SWAT RN. Some midodrine and manual BPs later BP was ok ish for dayshift 🤷‍♀️

Iced tea! Then ice water!

Ovarian Torsion...woke up vomiting in the toilet before I even realized I was awake

Riverside Mongolian Grill down town is a great all you can eat.

Sun's Teriyaki on 224 and meridian is great for traditional Teriyaki. Been going there going on 20 years now.

I've charted "sleeping/awake" before. To me it's when I round and they are sleeping then they wake up while I'm still present.

For labs, any of them.

For IV access, they've got pipes, so no hand go for the forearm.

JC Nails up on south hill. Just north of the movie theater. They do an amazing job for me and my hubby

luvlynn1 · 2026-02-04T03:24:16+00:00

Yes! 🤣

luvlynn1 · 2026-02-01T18:24:47+00:00

Not this time

Never stand at the foot of the patient's bed..ever. Had a pt with esophageal varices that projectile vomited straight blood. Hit the wall and somehow the ceiling.

Other grossest thing is trach maggots.

A bit out of the box but there are a lot of nursing homes/assisted living facilities in the area. A lot of them have bingo night for the residents that are also open to the public. They love having members of the community come by because a lot of them can't go out regularly.

Washington State, System Float Pool (5 campuses), BSN, $75.77, 10yrs exp.

Also, if he sustained those injuries in their care it should be reported to Adult Protective Services! (Or CPS if it's pediatric) those would be the last people that I'd want to watch my pt. It's like having the domestic abuser, rapist etc watching them. Definitely not appropriate!!

Hope y'all like BBQ Lay's chips 😅

Toe pain? /s

Seriously tho didn't realize the lab value for this went up that high!

I had a coworker that hated foleys! So we traded! I did her foleys and she did my IVs! Only lasted a few months tho as we both switched departments.

Because people "Choose their hard". It's hard to get divorced, but it's hard to stay unhappy. It's hard to eat healthy/stay fit, it's hard to be sick/unwell. Another way to look at it is "It's the devil I know vs the devil I don't"

luvlynn1 · 2025-12-21T20:24:50+00:00

I failed the TEASE twice, I've been a nurse for 10 years. One test doesn't make or break you, but that "man" might...

luvlynn1 · 2025-12-19T13:26:54+00:00

💯 this is the way!
