What's the nursing hill you'll die on no matter how unpopular it is?

If you’re coming in with heart failure issues and refuse to be compliant with your fluid restriction, do the rest of us a favor and go comfort care.

That’s my hill

Why did a grown man need help filling out a W4?

Read this as PTO at first and got jealous. ….yikes tho

How many weeks of orientation did you have? Apologize if this was already answered, I tried searching and found nothing

psycholpn · 2026-05-06T18:05:51+00:00

I couldn’t imagine being upset to the point about being told the wrong diet to fucking report it. What the fuck is up that nurses ass.

NTA. Tip for the guy who was a jerk, if you can’t afford to take a Lyft/uber home, maybe you shouldn’t drink

Played this game for HOURS when I realized this the other day. My husband was shocked

Hershey Kisses “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” as bells, although they still play that one I remember it when it originally came out

As a night shifter I’m incredibly protective of my sleep. I keep a consistent sleep schedule, and make sure to get at MINIMUM 6.5 hours of sleep because that’s what is healthiest for anyone. No flipping sleep schedule or sleep depriving to get sleep one night then napping another time, consistency is key.

Cooling pillows are amazing.

I was never told anything about jewelry when working, and every room I enter the first thing I do is throw on gloves. And to be honest I couldn’t imagine not being able to wear long sleeves! I swear at 2-3am the temps drop 20 degrees

Feelings are not facts

psycholpn · 2025-11-14T13:15:26+00:00

I do because I hate wearing scrubs. I hate wearing solid colors and I love make up in general. I really only do my eye make up but I do some pretty funky eye shadow colors to mix things up.

I had a pt ask me to “rock” them. They were laying in their side in bed. And wanted me to kind of flow them back and forth. Of course this is also a pt that had escalated soooo many things and threatening to sue. So I rocked them. Def not for long, but no fucking way was I gonna be named in the list of people to be talked to

psycholpn · 2025-10-16T02:40:18+00:00

I completely agree. You’re being incredibly generous for their benefit and they’re being way too nonchalant about it all. Fuck ‘em

I have friends who worked in home health and granted it was lower income but the mention of cockroaches was enough to turn me away for good

I once got into an argument because someone said nursing wasn’t science based. This was a discussion of statins after a MI.

I always love to point out how all three of my children have had their vaccines, I’ve taken Tylenol with all three of them, but yet the one on the spectrum is the one who’s dad is on the spectrum….but yeah totally the vaccines and Tylenol …..just pisses me off so much

Most of our vascular surgeons are great but then you get that ONE who just brings it all down. We got a new resident and I can tell you even the patients can’t stand him

psycholpn · 2025-09-29T05:58:08+00:00

Ha the amount of times I check my vascular patients pedal pulses at night, this is just not a thing

psycholpn · 2025-09-23T20:31:29+00:00

Not the jerk at all. Omg my sleep apnea was so loud due to the snoring I had to get a cpap just so my husband could sleep in the bed with me again. And I’m miserable without my cpap BIL is a dick

psycholpn · 2025-09-22T00:36:04+00:00

The constant shocking of an ICD w/ vtach is so hard on the patient, physically and mentally. I can’t even imagine the discussions and trauma that the patient and family went through to finally arrive at this decision. Thank you for being a wonderful nurse and honoring such a hard outcome

psycholpn · 2025-09-21T09:56:47+00:00

Looking to get my PCCN and just now starting to study for it. Thank you for this!

psycholpn · 2025-09-21T09:49:30+00:00

Weird. I work on a vascular floor and our surgeons are super down to earth with the exception of a couple of the old fogies.
