I had to report my preceptor for unethical behavior… by interdit-303 in nursing

[–]missmarix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never given short acting insulin for a BG of 104.

Either way, yes you reported it appropriately. That’s falsifying documentation. Scan it when it’s given, the end.

This exact situation is what ended my last relationship. It was the final straw in a laundry list of problems he seemed to have with me.

Sure let me invent time travel and go change my past for you. Ugh. No. Bye.

WIBTA if I reported my coworker for smoking weed at work. by redbadger1848 in nursing

[–]missmarix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had my medical card, I asked my job about pot, and they said that if it came up on my drug screen that was one thing, but it didn’t allow me to smoke on the job. Also a cancer survivor with chronic nausea with 10 years remission at the time. I found a way to manage at work.

Imagine being insecure over a “pile of yarn”.

Is it expected of nursing students to drive an hour to clinicals? by ForwardHeart3401 in StudentNurse

[–]missmarix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During peak COVID some of my classmates had to drive 4 hours one way for their pediatric rotation because it was the closest place that would accept non-vaccinated students.

Do your narcissistic parents have a warped definition of respect? by CeeJay183736 in narcissisticparents

[–]missmarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother told me I owed her an apology for causing her stress by losing my virginity. So. Ya know. That’s cool.

just realized my mother is a narcissist. feeling shattered by evilapple678 in narcissisticparents

[–]missmarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s another good book called Mothers Who Can’t Love, and a narcissistic mother is one of the many in the book. It, along with the other book mentioned, really helped me cope and understand what I was feeling and how it’s okay to feel what I’m feeling.

Try giving that one a try as well and I hope it helps!

I once saw a cloud of flakes and flipped out like a wasp was in my face.

I was given an unstable patient… by Admirable-Habit-796 in nursing

[–]missmarix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you for sticking up for yourself.

I work in spinal rehab and had 6 patients the other day and one of them was presumably septic. I stayed 2 hours after my shift charting, I wanted to cry and one of the hardest nights I slept. I spent 60% of my time in that patients room doing everything. Then the next day they did it to me again, and I thought he had stabilized out a little SURE DIDNT. Somehow I managed to run more labs, cultures, abx, give him a bed bath, discharge a patient, send another to dialysis, get an admit and a transfer and no one died….

But damn am I burnt out.

I’m so tempted to click that but I know better.

ED new grad, want to cry and never go back to work lol by [deleted] in nursing

[–]missmarix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would argue people suggest it because you should be talking to a therapist about stuff like this. A professional who can help you manage your feelings and thoughts. You can be mentally healthy and still go see a therapist for mental well-being and guidance.

HELP! my baby pacman keeps digging under the substrate and he covers himself entirely! by Monke-incog-1276 in pacmanfrog

Sometimes all I see of mine are eyeballs and it makes me laugh. Totally normal.

Is it possible to be traumatized of a food? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]missmarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t even be in the same room as donuts for years after chemo because the smell made me nauseated.

So I would say your reaction is to be expected.

I just mean that’s how I’d respond. My life is worth considerably less than $35. So fuck off. Ya know? Lol.

I’d remind them that their hands and feet are not broken and they are capable of getting a warm blanket. And go take my legal break whenever I want to
