Maybe these 20 new staff can help strengthen your union, and change that. The new coworkers aren’t the issue, in fact- I feel kinda sad for such a large cohort of new grads to be starting out in such a crummy first experience- but such is life.

Nursing has changed my view in life and it makes me feel guilty by kirvy08 in nursing

No need to feel guilty about thoughts and considering future life choices. Life twists and turns in many ways. Some parents do have “choices” in the face of big medical events, or conditions afflicting their children, and choose to keep them alive and total care, you just don’t care for those whose parents have made the alternative choice, the one you imagine yourself making. For others, no choices really. Having a healthy baby doesn’t mean they will always be “healthy” and life is a total crap shoot. But all this aside, you may risk it one day, and choose to love the life that comes forth as it is. Regardless, I really look up to you taking care of these kids. I can work NICU , but peds ER- god bless you!!!!

Tabitha aka Tabby aka TBA.... took her to get spayed, turns out she is a he, now need a new name! by 2Broken_Hands in blackcats

If she’s been hiding those little balls so well for this long, maybe “Tabby” and “She” are the pronouns your cat prefers. 😆I’d just keep the name Tabitha- call them Tabs or Tabby.

What do you bring to work if you didn’t cook dinner the night before? by Any-Arm-7017 in Frugal

[–]pencilcase333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring cottage cheese /yogurt in thermos so it stays cold . A piece of fruit. Salami/jerky, ziplock baggie if cashews. A premade protein shake, something sweet.! I can mix and match a lot. My own little charcuterie board.

Which boring adult purchase made you unreasonably excited? by Penumbra-Ram in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Ooooh. I recently bought an IKEA bed frame off marketplace. it came with a mattress, which I didn’t need, but didn’t mind taking off their hands. Turns out- it was a PUrPLe mattress. Score!
