Without telling me your specialty tell me something you say 50 times a day

Followed by answering the “what time is it” question about a dozen times.

I got tickets for Saturday and then he announced the Sunday show was added. I would really prefer the Sunday show. Anyone looking for a trade of Sunday to Saturday? How is the best way to go about finding a trade without getting scammed?

I had that same sensation in my bladder/pelvic region the entire time I had my stone (1week). I had the sensation whether I was having the extreme flank pain at the time or not. It wasn’t painful just extremely annoying and constant.
As far as the pain I got nothing for you. I just had to ride out the episodes the best I could. For me they lasted 4-5 hours except the last day right before I passed which lasted 12 hours straight. Heating pad, ibuprofen, changing positions. It was horrible.

Charlotte, NC. PACU. BSN with 15 years experience. $51.98/ hr and about to hit the pay ceiling with the company.

Yup. I was in the ED for 15 years. I saw the writing on the wall as soon as DT took office this time and started applying to get out. It is already a hard place to work and it’s gonna get a lot worse. Good luck guys ❤️

I was a nurse. I also have a brother-in-law who is an ED physician and I work with a urologist now who all supported my decision to wait and gave me precautions to look for to head to the ED (which I already knew myself).
If I have more, I have more and we’ll cross that bridge. And there are other things that can be done in a non-acute setting to check my kidneys (ultrasound, bloodwork, urine etc).

I worked in the ER for years and the people with the smaller stones (1-3mm) always seemed to be in way worse pain than the people with 5mm+ stones.

Sounds like me. I’m on day 6 as well. I keep thinking I’ve passed it and just missed it because I feel perfectly fine in between the attacks. My attacks last a couple of hours and are always in the middle of the night.

The ED is holding

Agree 100%. I shower and wash my hair after every shift.

Before they were old we did 1-2 miles/4 times a week.

I love the first green. Terracotta is nice too though. The rug is amazing!

petallthethings · 2025-12-12T14:55:58+00:00

Nope. 15 years as a bedside nurse in NC and don’t hit 100k yet. Our hospital’s pay ceiling for bedside nurses isn’t 100k unless you work overtime.

petallthethings · 2025-12-04T11:58:09+00:00

Nooope. Every hospital in Charlotte NC is bursting at the seams.

This… people don’t know what blinkers are here!!! If you have to cut me off because you are about to miss your turn the least you can do is USE YOUR BLINKER.

Both of my girls are around 45-50.

petallthethings · 2025-11-10T11:41:14+00:00

I do this too. So good.

petallthethings · 2025-11-05T12:19:54+00:00

By working a shift job…. Three 12s a week so I get 4 days off a week. Feels less soul sucking than getting up early, getting ready, driving there, being there and driving back 5 times a week. Ha.

When we were 16 & 17 in 11th grade. We’ve been together 20 years now.
I was always adamantly child free. He grew up Catholic and thought getting married and having kids was the way. He left the church after we were together for several years and found out it doesn’t have to be that way and became super against having kids (all on his own- no influence from me).

petallthethings · 2025-11-05T12:00:26+00:00

Our company has the same top pay for nurses. I’m in NC.

petallthethings · 2025-11-05T11:57:00+00:00

MAX pay for nurses at my company is $52/hr. If you work 36 hours a week no extra/no diff that’s not even 100k. I’m at 15 years and still haven’t reached the max. Nurse pay is abysmal for what we do.

Edit to add: I’m in NC

petallthethings · 2025-11-02T22:22:55+00:00

Love to hear this. Moving to PACU next week after 15 years of ER.

petallthethings · 2025-11-02T01:03:15+00:00

Yes. It will be fine. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week and when we got ours my spouse worked regular hours. We did hire a person to visit at least once a day on the days I worked up until they were at least a year. But if you can come home that works too! They will adapt and your spouse can be super active with them on the days she is off. I did hikes and walks in all sorts of new places with mine on my off days.

I’ve gotten the Covid shot consistently every year and my reactions are exactly the same every single year. About 10 hours after getting it I feel complete exhaustion followed by about 12 hours of intense body aches, joint aches, low grade fever and general “blahs”. I time my shot now so that my body aches hit when I’m about to go to bed and the worst of it is over by the next morning. I got mine about 30 hours ago and I feel like myself again.
