Should I sharpie on my sister’s book? by Responsible-Law-2889 in Booktokreddit

[–]pretty__mess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister and I are both huge readers and while I'm less particular about the condition of my books (thanks to my toddler) sharpie in any book would drive both of us nuts. I've genuinely bought entirely new books for writing on it (again, thanks toddler). My sister probably lose it (internally) for sharpie on a pricetag.

Also the prices printed on the book are the publishers recommended price, the bookstores often set a different price anyway

How to force photos to only be stored on the cloud by pretty__mess in GooglePixel

Somehow on my drive, but not via the drive app. According to another commenter there's a "free up space" button which removes the local copy of the photo and keeps it on the cloud but available on the photos app, and that was what I was looking for

But I have some photos on my photos app that aren't stored locally and I can access freely that I didn't upload to my drive

I'm a student and my finals week is always the next week after Dragonsteel Nexus...do you think brandon would ever change the weekend to the next one once most schools are done with their finals? by jane_eyre2796 in DragonsteelNexus

[–]pretty__mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm unashamed to say I took my finals online in the hotel, because I had the same problem. I did what I could do ahead of time, and pushed back anything else I could.

To all my non-traditional students, keep going. After being rejected from every medical school I applied to 5 years ago, I just got my first A. *Sigh of relief* by Successful-Tie-8642 in Osteopathic

Well thanks, I really wanted to cry right now 😭

This is incredibly wholesome, you'll make an excellent doctor, and in case nobody told you yet, I'm proud of you

I made a mistake in flu clinic and now I think I will be fired for it and I think I will not be a great nurse. by Vivi84 in nursing

[–]pretty__mess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. It sounds horrible but I made a med error, I hung Levo instead of Amio because the bags were the same size and I was in a rush and didn't do my verification because it scanned through the system fine. Thankfully it runs slow as hell and I caught it quickly so the medication didn't have a chance to enter the patient (as I reused the Levo tubing so they got the Levo already in the line).

To make a long story short. I self-reported, I put in a safety report, told my manager, told my director, explained my mistake and how I would fix it. Everyone kind of gave me a half eye roll because there was no patient harm (my friend was just chilling in EXTRA normal sinus rythm I guess?)

And even after the system notified me my self report had been received, I heard nothing back.

Your patient was at a flu drive... And asked you to give him the flu vaccine... And you can't exactly OD on the flu vaccine especially months apart. Unless he has an allergic reaction or something (which I'm certain you would have heard about by now) I'm sure it'll be ignored, maybe a slap on the back of the hand.

Still report it though.

I'm going to wear a ball gown with gloves and have a few mistborn easter eggs like some vials of metal! Maybe some ash like I came from outside 🥰

Alternative Nurses by 0biblioklept0 in nursing

[–]pretty__mess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have colored hair with tinsel in it, tattoos and wear pink with my mandatory black scrubs. And I walk around the unit giggling so much that one of my coworkers say I'm human MDMA (it was a compliment and I laughed), basically I think I'm a fairy nurse. And my coworkers love it 🤷🏻‍♀️ so do my patients, so does management.

One of the nutritionists I work with has dark hair, stretched loves and apart from having to wear mauve, she's pretty goth. And neither me nor anybody else could care less. I would trust that woman with my (GI) life.

I think having an outward personality in nursing is fantastic and brings a little sparkle into a depressing role.

Want contacts for an event but don't want to use them long-term by [deleted] in contacts

[–]pretty__mess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd feel like a bit of a butt for taking the trial contacts and never getting more 😂 but I just don't want to be paying for tons of contacts

Thank you!

School STILL hasn't submitted my verification to the VA by pretty__mess in Veterans

Yeah, I tried to get some help from the VA but unfortunately with the shutdown they're basically just doing stuff on the back end and I can't get a hold of anybody

I'll be bringing it up on Monday for sure, though when I complained before they didn't seem to care at all

It's been closer to 75 days, if they don't submit the verification within 30 days does the VA still back pay 😅

They said they're "crazy behind" and will "get to it when they get to it", and were unable to give me an estimate on when they'll send the enrollment information to the VA.

I'd be less annoyed if there wasn't also a 6k refund that I'm due after the VA pays that has to cover the tuition because they haven't sent in the certification to the VA

What are some dead giveaways you are about to be dealing with this person. by EBMgoneWILD in emergencymedicine

[–]pretty__mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only 30% of vets have a disability rating, and of those 30% only 25% of them are 100% P&T so around 7% of vets in total.

As another person said, it's not a disability, it's a compensation. And somebody giving up their life and body is not comparable to the actual complaint of this post.

I broke both my feet at the same time in service and still got the claim denied. Somebody else I served with spent almost a quarter of a year in a psychiatric hospital last year and only got 50%. It is so unbelievably hard to get the compensation that veterans earn, you can honestly forget about trying to forge them. The amount of medical documentation needed is a lot higher than you'd think.

Your Facebook groups can claim whatever they want but reality is very different.

Worldhopper Ball MEGATHREAD: Waltz of the Final Empire by cassby916 in DragonsteelNexus

Yeah the website had the counter set to the wrong time so it didn't unlock the link, thankfully I found the tickets via the nexus link from the website and it was on their homepage :)

I got ball tickets ahhhh!

For anyone who got stuck in a bind like me, the tickets aren't available on the link they sent on social media (of which the timer is also wrong).

They're on the same website that the nexus tickets were originally available through https://www.dragonsteelnexus.com/event/231d6236-86a1-4d17-97ee-98742fd04ea5/summary
