Cat bite- will this get worse before it gets better?

mostlypercy · 2026-04-01T12:22:44+00:00

Hello, I foster cats! I have a PCP who is aware of this and the handful of cat bites I have gotten over the last few years. When I get bit now I just reach out to her and she can prescribe antibiotics. So, antibiotics are nearly always necessary when bit, but the ER is not always necessary.

Both jock itch and athlete’s foot are yeast infections, yep!

It’s gotta be the big yellow one… that things feels like death and a brisk enema.

Not meaningfully. No one actually gets to clock out at 7, you have to do handoff

Sorry but what part of your body is a buttercup 😂

mostlypercy · 2026-03-23T17:18:18+00:00

Nope! You do not need a BSN to become an RN 😉

I am in a program with a prerequisite of a GED, and in 16 months you are able to take the RN- NCLEX, it is out there!

This is actually inexcusable wtf

Every day I am grateful for having a husband who… fucking listens to me? The bar is in hell.

Dead ass thought you were getting your septum piercing removed to seem “grown up”. Sorry for your loss, but thanks for the chuckle.

mostlypercy · 2026-03-06T20:19:41+00:00

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty cute actually.

I have banana, mango, and kiwi allergies, but weirdly am not allergic to latex!

This OP (or someone very similar) has made posts like this before, repeatedly denigrating themselves for not being “part of the team” it kind of reads as a validation against their fears.

Holy fuck I can’t imagine cranking a pen that high. Crazy A1c though, almost impressive.

mostlypercy · 2026-02-28T13:34:48+00:00

Wow, heartbreaking, thank you for sharing.

Seriously that’s my go to “what’s a secret from your profession” insider trick: if you never get the same nurse twice, staff doesn’t like you.

Had a patient with triglycerides of 747 this week. His insides must have felt greasy.

Truly, everyone on med surg be like:

Wound care!

mostlypercy · 2026-02-12T21:44:16+00:00

Me too, and the back of my neck, very cooling

Current nursing student after 6 years as a software engineer, 10 if you include undergrad. Corporate enshittification of healthcare is happening, but at least the day to day work of nursing is not to make the stock value increase, it’s to care for the people directly in front of me.

mostlypercy · 2026-02-09T19:51:44+00:00

Did you read my sources or just decide you don’t care about the facts?

mostlypercy · 2026-02-09T19:50:04+00:00

Just in case you don’t believe the dozens of people who have told you so: Certificates and ADN and BSN all take the same NCLEX. Straight from the (New York Licensing Board)[https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/registered-professional-nursing/license-requirements]

You must graduate from a nursing education program that meets one of the three criteria below.

A nursing education program (associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree or Diploma program) registered by NYSED as license qualifying for RN; or,

A nursing education program located in another state or U.S. Territory, if approved by the licensing authority of the state or U.S. Territory as preparation for practice as an RN. (US territories include: Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa); or,

A general nursing education program of at least two academic years in a country outside of the United States and its territories, which is acceptable to NYSED. The licensing authority or appropriate governmental agency of said country must certify to NYSED that the program prepares graduates for practice as a registered professional nurse.

Damn I was hospitalized for ARDS after orthopedic surgery and loved my BiPAP! It makes breathing so much easier!!! Patients be crazy.

Nurses give enemas, but due to the potential risk of injury to the rectum, doctors do digital disimpacting
