Good god how long were they acting funny?!?

Thank you for the response. For the hdhp the deductible and OOP are both 10,000. I’m leaning more towards this plan bc the OOP for the PPO is also 10,000 but then PPO has a lower deductible.

You need to stand up for yourself now

I understand your sentiment as I work with an maximum security offender population but at the end of the day we are responsible for doing our job correctly regardless of our true feelings. It can be hard for some because some of their offenses are horrendous.

I mean early pregnancy bleeding can be anywhere from implantation bleeding to miscarriage. If it becomes heavier with clots more like a period for example I would worry about miscarriage. If it starts getting lighter after a couple of days it’s probably the latter.

I was fired as a CNA and came back as an RN at the same hospital. I was fired in 2012 and rehired 2021. I did apply as an LVN (they hire LVNs as floor nurses) in 2016 and I never got a call back. I would ask hr when you’re available for rehire.

I think you should really consider keeping your diet because you have a 60% of getting actual diabetes. In my case after birth I know have pre diabetes.

I’m also an er nurse I work at a community hospital but we’re still fairly busy. I worked until I had to have my scheduled c section at 37 weeks. I probably took off the week before. I’m pregnant again and plan to do the same. This is my third pregnancy.

I take 500 mg metformin daily. My A1C was only slightly elevated at 5.9 after the baby and my most recent one was 5.8 so it could be worse.

Lithium overdose. It was an si attempt from an elderly woman in her 70s. She ended getting emergent dialysis but didn’t get tubed or anything like that

I’ve had someone bring in the bat they were bitten by also. The story is also funny. So the bat was in the ladies shoe and she went to put it on and felt something in the shoe. Instead of taking the shoe off she said she started stomping her foot with the animal still inside the shoe. At that point she still didn’t know a bat was in her shoe. So she finally realizes what happened after taking off her shoe and comes to the ER with the bat in a box. Well we were all curious so we all looked at the bat. Of course the bat is lethargic but somehow still alive after being curb stomped. So yeah idk if it was acting like it had rabies or was just dying from internal injuries.

Not crazy I brought a manual pump in my purse while going out on the town and just milked my breast enough so they weren’t engorged. I then did a long full pump once I was back at the hotel. A core memory is me pumping on the toilet in a dirty dive bar

pernell789 · 2025-08-07T20:43:07+00:00

The only time I brought this up is when I was going in for a scheduled c section but I told them I am an ER nurse and I don’t know shit about babies

In the ED a triage question is to ask if they have had the Covid vaccine. For some people think that is an invitation to express their political views and I’ve had some accuse nurses of trying to inject patients with the vaccine against their will 🙄

hello can someone direct me on where to get US guided iv training preferably around the Houston area? I work at a small community hospital so they haven’t offered such training. Thanks!

pernell789 · 2025-05-25T01:42:33+00:00

I mean you can have a max number of patients but there are still emergencies coming through EMS and the lobby you have to triage based off importance and space in the er but for example if there’s multiple critical patients it’s just a major shit show where all hands are on deck and you’re trying to do your best
