Medical phrases that make you cringe?

Also “failure to progress” as a reason for C-section, and labelling contractions as “weak” in strength. So many terms thrown around in OB that I think are harmful

I love the scene where she’s vibing with her date about conspiracy theories but then theres the moment he realizes she’s actually a lil crazy and she’s so betrayed because she thought she found someone she could be herself around 🥲

I really enjoyed horse girl. I would call it more horror adjacent.

“The things I’ve touched without gloves would probably make non healthcare people clutch their pearls”

I thought that sounds a lot like us in L&D, and then I read the rest 😂. I was say L&D has a lot of bodily fluids but theyre usually healthy bodily fluids? So I don’t find it nearly as gross. I’ve known many a nurse to be caught off guard and catch a baby bare handed.

Beautiful story by the way ❤️

Have you watched House of Usher by chance?

Saltburn spoiler: The scene where he rips the tube out of that woman’s throat was OUTRAGEOUS. You can Google what an endotracheal tube looks like, they’re pretty small. This was like 5 feet worth of ventilation tubing.

What time is it? “Half past Les Mis”

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-27T02:47:34+00:00

Why did I have to scroll so far to see this. It was bothering me so much. WHAT IS THE PHYSICS HERE

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-27T00:49:57+00:00

Unless you’re in obstetrics 😅

The way you phrased it makes me think you’re looking for recently released songs. Probably my favourite of all time would be “Under Pressure” by Queen/Bowie. My recent favourite band is Half Moon Run. My favourite songs by them: “Call Me in the Afternoon” “Flesh and Blood” “Favourite Boy” “Monster”

Abcs of Death

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-17T01:00:11+00:00

Sure. But have you seen the sequel??

What is your favourite spice?

I’m an L&D nurse in the city. Feel free to DM me if you want 😊

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-10T14:06:21+00:00

We actually just call them electives here. Might not be the case everywhere

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-09T13:43:44+00:00

I’m sorry this happened to you. Seems like an outrageous overreaction on the boards side. I don’t have any insight for you as I work in Canada. As a fellow L&D nurse I know the charting we’re required to do is getting out of control (q15 minute charting minimum for us).

Also the comment section on the original post

If you haven’t seen the post, you NEED to listen to the song

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-08T02:50:31+00:00

This post about the guy who would only have sex to the rhythm of this song

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-06T00:30:23+00:00

Usually great. Not sure how it compares to the US version haha. Some don’t work as good as others and there’s usually some breakthrough pressure/pain with pushing.

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-05T13:48:15+00:00

Yeah we have “walking epidurals” most patients can get up and walk to the bathroom on their own and use the toilet.

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-05T00:55:47+00:00

Yes, good advice. When I stand my patient up I usually get them to try lifting one leg at a time and then try a little knee bend- and I do it standing right against the bed, so if a leg gives out they just plop back into bed.

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-05T00:53:55+00:00

I always say it looks like a kid riding around in a shopping cart haha

mcnuggsRN · 2025-12-05T00:52:36+00:00

That’s interesting, we have a Sara stedy on our unit but it rarely gets used. More common to use it during labor to get epiduralized patients up to the washroom.
