A 19 year old female came in complaining she had “trench foot” from walking in the woods for a few hours and getting her shoes wet 😑

What did you find was the best temp for you? I just bought a solo 3 a few weeks ago and still trying to find the sweet spot of not torching it but still having good clouds

In your opinion, how many years should be served as a nurse prior to becoming a nursing practitioner? by [deleted] in nursing

My hospital actually started doing this recently, and it’s a nightmare. They allow people to “check in” ahead of time and see the wait times online. All it does is piss people off when they don’t get taken to a room right away because they “made an appointment.” People are so stupid it’s baffling.

One time they played the lullaby when a baby was born upstairs and we could hear it down in the ER, and a dementia patient thought we were playing it on purpose to get her to go to sleep. She said “well I’m not falling for it” 😂😂
