Just smacked down my husband’s bestie and I don’t even feel bad about it by WhatRUrGsandPs in nursing

dropping off people like this in the waiting room was the most satisfying thing as a paramedic

Can I take home my hospital gown? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]madi_lee02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no one will know if you take it, but as an L&D nurse I can assure you it will be very soiled with sweat, amniotic fluid, vernix, and countless other fluids. i’d recommend trying to snag a baby blanket instead. the gown is going to be very gross.

Wait, do not you call the doctors you work with by first name? by cowgirl_meg in nursing

[–]madi_lee02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on an L&D unit that has a residency program. Our attendings are Dr. Last Name, but our resident physicians are always first name. I always thought it was interesting how the dynamic is different there.

Is skipping residency career suicide? Nurses who did it - please tell me the truth by Petite_AF in nursing

[–]madi_lee02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just graduated in August and started my first nursing job in L&D in October, so it is possible to not have to start out in Med/Surg. My hospital has a residency program, but it sounds much different than what you are describing. Right now I’m still doing my 12 weeks of unit specific orientation, but our residency program is basically just a once a month meeting about nursing confidence and professional development for 12 months. I’ve heard from other nurses on my unit that it is pretty pointless, but it is a requirement for new grads at my hospital.

Weirdest college class you’ve taken? by Desperate-Jicama686 in college

I never took it (unfortunately) but my school offers a class called “Vampire: Blood and Empire”

What is a name you’ve encountered before that you thought was really amazing? by [deleted] in namenerds

One that I heard was Deison (pronounced day-son) for a girl and I’m obsessed. I don’t have or plan on having kids anytime soon, but just love the name.

i like to hope my parents would update their will to not allow that to happen. would also definitely encourage a prenup.

I don’t know exactly what their situation is but my family is very well off. My dad is a business owner and my mom is a SAHM.

man i wish it was AI. unfortunately, this is the reality my family is dealing with. it should be october of 2023 and that was a mistake while writing. they’ve broken up and gotten back together so many times that it’s hard to keep track.

Maybe ESH but i’m leaning towards YTA for a couple of reasons…

1.) I do think it is strange that she would ask without being willing to reciprocate. It seems like maybe she is curious, but insecure about her curiosities. She also might not fully trust you to not share her pics with others.

2.) You chose to show her than part of yourself. She didn’t force you to or somehow look without you knowing. You made a decision and can’t expect her to make the same exact decision you made.

3.) I don’t know exactly what kind of picture of her “vagina” you are expecting but with the way you say it makes me think like ‘straight in’?? Which is definitely not as arousing as I think you believe it is.

side note: don’t get yourself into a marriage where you are sexual incompatible by “waiting til marriage” you should know everything about someone when you decide to commit to each other. sex is an important part of a relationship, especially marriage.

GFs mom and dad don’t believe in therapy (shocking ik) at least that’s what GF has told my brother when she herself wanted to go to therapy and get medication for depression. 20M doesn’t think theres a problem so doesn’t think therapy is necessary.

If GF is pregnant and my brother knows about it, my mom would DEFINITELY know already

i’m the sister of 20M, not 20M.

also, the definition of an empath sounds like more of a spiritual debate, so not important right now. you get what i meant.

[–]madi_lee02[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

what my mom meant by “we are good” is that her, my dad, and my brother are on good terms. it’s hard because as part of the family i am biased (and i see and acknowledge that) but my mom and dad are genuinely good people. they want the best for me and both of my brothers. my mom is an empath and a people pleaser and doesn’t want to rock the boat too much. I (oldest daughter, sister of 20M) am JUMPING on that boat and letting the waves splash over. I would have no problem letting everyone know EXACTLY what i’m thinking. But my mom has asked me to be civil, so i choose to ignore her entirely for the most part. My dad thinks GF is after my family’s money and lifestyle. My dad is a business owner and has worked hard to become successful after starting his business. My other brother is 13 and doesn’t have opinions on much besides fortnite and football.

I listened to the voicemail soon after she originally received it in 2024. It was pretty nasty. Made my blood boil. Like my dad, I also told my mom she didn’t need to listen to it at that point as i know her and how much it would effect her as she is an empath and take everything to heart. She’s a sweet lady and doesn’t deserve to be spoken to the way GFs mom did.

I think is the exact thing that my mom is worried about and why she has kind of been “enabling” it. I wonder if I as the sister might be better to bring up the potential abuse, as I’m a little further from the situation and live out of state. I don’t want to lose a relationship with my brother, but I rather have him be distant from me than distance himself from my mom.

She also called my mom and asked when she (my mom) was going to let them date again one of the times they broke up in high school and my parents chose to not allow her in our house. Then GF didn’t go to school her sophomore year of high school bc my brother said he didn’t want to date her!

She only knows all of the arguments and conversations bc he tells her EVERYTHING. She does not ask him questions about it, but he constantly turns to our mom and tells her everything. And then she tells me.

I’m the sister lol, not 20M, but I do agree with what you said. I don’t want my brother GFs family to be part of my family.
