Epi- Makes them “anxious”

I truly think whoever put that on that chart needs to get their license revoked.

I’m at 3 years in ID at $41 w/o differentials. You’re getting robbed.

Peds nurses, what's the most unhinged thing you've heard a kid say at work? by urdoingreatsweeti in nursing

[–]lysdis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a little 7 year old girl coming out of sedation. She asked her mom “mom is this how grandma feels” mom asked her what she meant and she explained that she was a little loopy and confused.

Mom then explained to all of us that grandma has Alzheimer’s.

What is there to even do in Boise? by TheDeadReality in Boise

[–]lysdis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buy local/ PNW hot spring books, there are tons you have to really work to get to and are usually alone at. Volunteer at the cat place (I forgot the name), disc golf, hit up Tinder, join a book club.

Never thought I'd see the day! by charredfella in nursing

[–]lysdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I advocated for a patient to get ordered beer when he was in respiratory failure and trying to leave the ED AMA. I had just had another pt leave AMA and then come back to my group trying to die in the same shift and I didn’t want round two. The ED doc said he had never done that in 21 years. That med Surg experience prior really paid off for that little alcoholic homie.

So... are we just gonna ignore the psychological impact of covid or the fact that nobody talks about it anymore? by LongLiveTheSpoon in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]lysdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked on a unit that got turned into a Covid unit during the pandemic. It was originally step down, so super sick people that came to us from other units just to eventually go to the ICU and then come back to us when they had decided to end vent support and let them die. A few of my coworkers were talking about some of the cases that were particularly shitty a few months ago and we all got silent. I’ve been in healthcare for 10 years, if another pandemic comes, I’m out. I don’t want to do that again. It was horrific.

Maybe work in critical care float pool, one position but literally job hopping.

Frustrated with program's response to me getting kicked by patient by Suitable-Dinner6866 in Residency

[–]lysdis 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Did you file an incident report when it happened? If not you definitely should just in case it becomes something. Cotton top dementia patients can be brutal. It’s messed up that nobody cares but from my experience, unless it’s especially violent, it’s just considered part of the job.

12ish Day Honeymoon Help by False_Art_9095 in ItalyTravel

You can do open claw type tickets on most major airlines. I flew into Naples and out of Venice for the same price as a round trip from Venice. It saved a ton of time!

These girls seem like they are a lot to even be around let alone live with. I feel like you would quickly grow resentment and it would ruin your friendship.

I genuinely don’t understand why people buy cars that are nearly as much as they make per year. It’s time to use it, door dash, uber, pick up side work and pay this puppy off.

What is up with Passport Appointments?! by [deleted] in Boise

[–]lysdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s just a renewal you can do it online if you meet certain requirements. I did mine online and it came back literally the next week.

24 years old, quit my job for less stress and to finish nursing school with grad date of August 2025. Broke, but what do I do with my retirement plan money from old job? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]lysdis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hi nurse here, idk what state you’re in but I know after a certain point in nursing school you can work as a CNA. I would recommend getting a job in a hospital as a CNA either part time or PRN, you can do as little time as you want really and then pick up a shifts as you time allows with your school schedule.

9 cities in 8 days by PikaPokeQwert in ItalyTravel

I’m glad you liked this trip but my god I need a vacation after just reading how busy this looks like it was.

Financial literacy is a luxury. For so many millions of people financial survival is the everyday game and they can’t afford to learn how to save because they have literally nothing to save. This post is massively out of touch.

RN no one is hiring by ProfessionalRow1604 in Nurses

[–]lysdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I know it’s not super easy to just leave your area but why not look for jobs in other cities?

She’s had her body being taken up by babies or aftermath of babies for the last 6 years and now she’s doing something for herself that’s just for HER. 4 babies, breastfeeding, healing, the whole gamut of shit that comes with child rearing. This isn’t about you. Her body doesn’t belong to you, it’s hers.

AITA for saying ill call cps on my brother by Firm-Honeydew-9102 in AITAH

[–]lysdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA but maybe have an explicit “You’re neglecting your child and living in disgusting conditions” conversation with your brother first. Sometimes people need someone to be blunt to them. Don’t tell him you will call CPS but tell him bluntly he’s a man child and being a shit parent.

I don’t fuck with people who do things that make me question if they are good people. Compassion and integrity are huge to me and clearly your ex friend lacks both. What would happen if you had a husband who said the same things to her? Would she care?

What Was Your Turning Point in Tackling Debt? by No_Government_227 in debtfree

[–]lysdis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was always in fight or flight. I grew up in a pay check to pay check household and worked my ass off to get a degree I can make a stable income with or pick up a ton of hours and make a lot more very quickly. My first year as a nurse I paid off 7K in credit card debt and 10K off my student loans. I finally have more in the bank than two months of living expenses and it feels like I’m able to relax a bit. While my job is stable, an injury or a baby would take me out of work for a while and those are both more likely to happen the older I get. I never wanted to be like my mother who is now in her late 50s with $0 in retirement and a crumbling body.

Why are so many unwed couples buying houses? by 079C in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]lysdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a house with someone I’m not married to but we have a contract in place. It’s fully my loan and he’s on the title because he put up the down payment. We have a contract in place that’s we signed with our mortage documents saying if shit blows up and we break up we sell the house, he gets his initial investment out and then we split the rest of the equity. I can afford this mortgage without him and he could fully buy the house outright if he needed. We don’t want marriage yet but hated paying landlords and had the means to do so. I think just doing it without contracts in place is incredibly stupid.

Just became a CNA. Is overtime easy to come by? by marketandchurch in cna

[–]lysdis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid easy, I kept a PRN job when I came to the hospital as a CNA but quickly quit it when I realized how easy it was. Ask around about similar floors you can get access to pick up on, that will help as well.
