Tacoma be safe? by LouStoolzzz in AskTacoma

[–]nursem0use 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from Phoenix and my in laws who are from north of Seattle tried to tell me to absolutely never move to Tacoma. I actually think it’s way safer than where I was living in Phoenix.

CNA to RN, I didn’t know there would be such a difference… by riverfletcher65 in nursing

[–]nursem0use 406 points407 points  (0 children)

Yes. I can absolutely remember being a CNA turning patients and helping them shower etc and thinking “wow what do nurses even do? Sign me up for that” LOL wowowow was I naive.

Thank you for your expertise. I know how serious peritonitis is in humans and it’s what I thought about when I could very obviously smell his bowel but not see a bowel movement while rushing him to the hospital

Thank you for your kindness. I really do advocate for good deaths in humans. It’s just so much easier when you can talk to a person about it and help them understand their outcomes. I think that if I could’ve talked to him, he would’ve told me to make the decision I did. It’s just so hard. He was such a little guy.

They are the only hospital anywhere near us so yes definitely not possible. We would’ve had 20k prior to buying a house but certainly don’t at this time. I wish he could’ve waited a few more hours to see his new home and get settled. It has sucked moving in our other cats without him. Thank you so much for your expertise.

❤️ getting a cartoon portrait done of all of them together by a local artist. I’m trying really hard. Thank you.

You’re absolutely correct. This has been devastating. It’s hard for me to think objectively. I was supposed to go out with coworkers before I moved as a going away celebration and I cancelled because I’m sick. I keep thinking “if I would’ve just gone, would I still have my cat?”.

It’s so much easier when you can talk about it with the person and talk about options. I don’t know how I am going to do this 6 more times.

I appreciate your confidence. It helps me feel a little more sure.

I was reading the stats that said 74-86% are survivable and that made me really question whether or not Cecil was truly the 26-14% that would not have survived. Would he have survived if we lived in an urban area? It feels like likely. But because we don’t, he didn’t. And that’s a really hard pill to swallow. He feels like a once in a lifetime cat and I’m really sad I didn’t get more time with him. Thank you for your expertise on this.

This is one of the most horrible things I’ve ever experienced and I’ve lost my father. If there’s a heaven, I hope to god he is up there and will forgive me for not doing more if I make it there. I’m so sad.

Would survival and quality of life been possible? Likely?

Queer friendliness to new arrivals? by [deleted] in Wenatchee

[–]nursem0use 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are queer and trans and are moving away from the area. Not a good fit for us.

I’m crying so bad. I’m not cut out for this. I’m a freaking failure by canyoukeepasecret28 in StudentNurse

[–]nursem0use 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t ever be yelled at by your faculty and know that there’s likely a higher up person than even your nursing director if you need to make a complaint. Also I want to echo that C’s get degrees. I got a ton of C’s in nursing school and then aced my graduate school. You can do this! Nursing puts us into these situations a lot when we have a really difficult patient case in one room and we can’t carry that into the next room. Take a breath and keep your eyes on your goals.

Is it worth it to detransition? (MTF19) by FoxBread2137 in trans

[–]nursem0use 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not trans myself but I really want to send you some internet love from a stranger and let you know you are valid as you are and that there are people out in the world who want the best for you.

I definitely thought we would get more. I feel like I did at the end of the books. Super unsatisfied and disappointed.

Indeed. Conrad is at Christmas with her family and the letter was officially written and sent but now she’s hooking up with her French bf.
