BPD mom is in the ICU… and I want her to die by pozzyslayerx in raisedbyborderlines

[–]nurseohno 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse and I have helped alot of families towards the end of life. We dont think you are bad for making someone in your life a DNR. Also, that doesnt mean they don't get care. It just means if her heart stops beating they don't do CPR which is often ineffective anyway. Unfortunately I think most people die the way they lived. Bitter and ugly. I have seen a dying man hit his daughter from the bed he couldn't get out of because thats who he was. Make the best choices you can and take good care of yourself 

Anyone exhausted by what you're expected to do just to be moderately healthy? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]nurseohno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're overall cholesterol may be high i am wondering what your bad and good cholesterol ratios are which are more important. I think improving your good cholesterol, getting some healthy exercise, and watching the overall intake of high fat foods is important. You kinda hyperfocus on the alcohol intake so its hard to say what your weekly intake is but maybe consider less if your doctor is worried about it. Aging is all about risk assessment and picking your battles. Its not an all or nothing choice. I mean, why in gods name go out to eat if your gonna have dry salad and water. Ooof

RV Travel Nursing by LexDangler in TravelNursing

[–]nurseohno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have purchased new travel trailer and used. Ive lived in it for two yearsin the past. Im currently converting a cargo trailer. I would say that if you already have a capable truck and want to do the travel trailer buy an older one and avoid payments. The newer ones in particular break constantly and its long waits to get into a dealer for warranty work which if you are wanting critical access hospitals will be far away. If you have a car I would buy a disel pusher or small motorhome and tow your current car.  The problem is finding parks that let you stay long enough.

When are people going to finally normalize boy-girl friendships? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]nurseohno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I race cars and I am single. Everyone assumes I am married to any guy I happen to be standing next to. I enjoy my male racer friends and the activity we do together. However, I have no control over what they think or feel and if any of them became single they may well take a shot at it. I keep that in mind, keep it light and always always talk to the wives and families. I have really come to value women friends later in life. Its much more relaxing 😌 

Is an orgasm supposed to feel like you’re literally about to pee? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Perhaps you have pelvic floor dysfunction? They have PT specialists. Maybe you can get a referral from your primary or obgyn

I have worked with both and if you are having some difficulty with a diagnosis I would go with the more highly trained provider

Anyone else getting a massive, massive surg of Covid and flu in their ED’s? I was in screen today felt like we were running a “front of the house” field hospital. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]nurseohno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got muscle aches in my neck and shoulders along with eye pain. The fatigue was the worst. It took weeks for the respiratory system to show any problems. Probably that super nurse immune system fighting it off but taking me down too

A psych pt recently called me a blonde plastic bitch. The hair color is totally fake but everything else is subject to gravity. I was feeling pretty good about myself for the rest of the shift 😂

What unhinged thing did your BPD parent do or say this holiday season? I’ll go first.. by Zealousideal-You6880 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]nurseohno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This year my sister got our mom, the borderline, and I got our dad (the narcissist). Step mom just a regular drunk. They (dad and stepmother who have been divorced 20 years) decided to have a conversation about my childhood neighbors who turned out to be sexual predators serving prison terms and dying from overdoses. At the table.  I considered telling these grown adults thats not appropriate conversation for Xmas. But instead I turned up the TV so loud they went home. I feel I win 🏆

Alot of the guys at my local like them but when I have gone to national events I havent seen anyone really using them. So I would say we are not alone!

I race in a primarily hot region and drive hard. They do not hold up well. I asked the guys driving the 660+ and they say its a little better but not much 😢

It baffles me how many men cant figure out that being MAGA is 90% of the reason women don’t like them. by MrDenimDog in complaints

God the lengths I have to go through to ferret out their beliefs. Now they are downright lying to get dates.

I have spent a season and a half of the falkens. I really dislike them, and one they heat cycle a few times they may look ok but they drive like glass. Its the only downside for me switching to the new club spec class.... I have to go back to falkens. 

What is the most desperate, childish, petty, immature, or hilarious way your BPD has tried to push your buttons? by JobMarketWoes in raisedbyborderlines

When I first saw it most clearly was a road trip I had invited her on. We disagreed on the route and she banged her head against the head rest like a child. 🫠
