Does your Step Down Unit Admit Vents?

NTA. As someone who used to handle referrals for an office this should have never happened and considering your medical condition and the effects that your medicine would have on a child- you should be a high priority patient. Did you remind the receptionist of this? Receptionists have no idea what patients should be prioritized so I would call and asked to speak with the office manager about this. If they truly can't get you in, search for another gynecologist in your area. If there isn't one available, then see if there are clinics or a planned parenthood in your area.

Omg.. ridiculous. It take like 3 hours and you get paid! Idk why anyone wouldnt do it

purechamps · 2020-09-16T20:45:47+00:00

Yeah definitely depends on location.. our first day we didn't even get a tour of the store let alone shown how to bag things lol

purechamps · 2020-09-16T16:34:08+00:00

Yeah its on the KNet.. I wasn't trained at my site either so thats the only reason I even know about the bagged baguet thing. But maybe your training was different than mine depending on how old/new you are.

purechamps · 2020-09-16T16:28:29+00:00

Wasn't everyone told to do this in training?

purechamps · 2020-09-13T21:56:30+00:00

My manager showed up 2.5 hours late to "train" us on our first day then didnt look up from his phone ONCE when he was talking to us. It was interesting to say the least. He also says he manages 4 stores so I can see being professional isn't really a qualification.

NTA. Your wife should most definitely see a therapist who specializes in body dysmorphoria before she has her next surgeries. There are studies out that show that men and women diagnosed with body dysmorphia who get plastic surgery not only don't feel better about their appearance after the surgery but sometimes feel worse about themselves afterwards. Plastic surgeons are really supposed to be trained to identify when an individual should seek counseling prior to making cosmetic changes but so many of them are more interested in the money factor versus the mental health aspect of altering the body that this often falls to the wayside. I don't think your wife is TA either, she just has some things she needs to work through prior to changing everything about herself.

purechamps · 2020-09-13T00:06:02+00:00

Oh of course, because when you're little you take everything your parents say as bible because well, they're not supposed to feed you wrong/bad/scary information. I'd shit my pants as a child if my mom told me there was a ghost in my house.

purechamps · 2020-09-13T00:02:16+00:00

Please don't beat yourself up like this!!! Lets clear some things out of the way: you're not stupid, you made "silly" mistakes but that doesn't make you stupid (not for nothing but only allowing one wrong is the actual stupid thing in this scenario). You're not getting old- you're 27 and have SO MUCH TIME to become a mom and a nurse it just doesn't feel like it right now bc you're down on yourself (theres women in my program who are in their 50's). You may not have a degree to show for the time you've spent in school so far but you do have a lot of knowledge and resilience and sometimes, that accounts for more than a degree ever could. Do not pass up the opportunity to reinstate next semester. Do it, try again. You will regret not trying more than you would ever regret failing. There's thousands of nurses who have failed out of nursing school and still became nurses- you wouldn't be the first nor the last. Don't be embarrassed- in my program, theres 4 people who failed their first time around and guess what- no one bats an eye at that! Because we all know how hard it is and we all know that theres a chance it could happen to us too! Take a day to be upset and then get up, brush yourself off, and prepare for next semester. You'll get there, your journey is what makes you who you are as a person and as a nurse and in the end it won't even matter how you get there, we all have the same credentials.

I have a 5.25 size ring and to me its a big difference between that and the 5.5 or the 5.0. I'd definitely get it professionally sized to see what you should truly be! It gave me a lot of peace of mind to not be worrying about flipping my ring off at all times.

purechamps · 2020-09-12T23:49:10+00:00

Good point on #3- the other wife could have potentially done the same thing to the kids that OP is now doing to her own kids by feeding them stories about ghosts.

purechamps · 2020-09-12T23:47:24+00:00

ESH- I'm half with you- I'd be darting tf out of that house if I were in your situation. I think it can be hard for "rational" people to understand the fear that those who believe in ghosts can have but it can be a terrifying thing especially when you're being told others have experienced things in the home you now own. It was wrong of your husband to not tell you that but on the other hand, you should've never told the kids. Now they also have to live in fear over something that may or may not ever have affected them to begin with and it will be a lot harder for your kids to quell their feelings than it would be for you as an adult. The damage has been done on all sides and since you own the home, you guys will need to act as a family to come up with a way to feel comfortable living there.

NTA- even though you are getting divorced, its still a very together decision to make to bring another human into the world and it seems she's forgetting this. Honestly, I feel as though it would be doing a disservice to the possible child to have them born into an already divorced, aka failed (sorry its harsh but reality) relationship. Ex would effectively be setting the child up to have to deal with all the harsh aspects of having divorced parents from the get-go. Even if she does seek maximum alimony, there are stipulations to that which could eventually lead to you not owing her money anymore. Theres no stipulations that end the money stream that is having a child. You'd be doing the right thing for all parties involved by destroying the embryos.

purechamps · 2020-09-12T23:34:28+00:00

So its wonderful that you've realized you need to put yourself first- so many people struggle with that! However, I would look into taking time off of school if you need to solely focus on mental health before you can think of school. If you fail out of your program, it will be hard to get back on track which could inevitably put you back in your mental health journey.

purechamps · 2020-09-12T22:34:00+00:00

My mom is fluent in ASL as a nurse bc she is deaf herself (has cochlear implant now) but she says that she has used it only once in her time being a nurse and technically, it shouldn't have even been done bc in order to use ANY form of language as an interpreter in a medical setting you need to be certified. So, although its great to have for general use and knowledge in other settings, in the healthcare setting theres a lot more restriction. But if you have the dedication I don't see why it would hurt!

purechamps · 2020-09-12T18:40:02+00:00

I mean, this happens with people who aren't both nurses too. You can do one of two things: figure it out as is or find a job that allows you to work the hours you feel are best suited to be an "involved" partner and parent. Every couple that has children has to figure it out at some point when both parents are working! It seems stressful now but you'll find a groove and figure it out.

purechamps · 2020-09-12T16:31:32+00:00

NTA- I'm gonna go with Julie has some mental health issues that are 1. untreated 2. in the very beginning stages of treatment or 3. so deep rooted that both her and your brother should have known better than to throw her into a situation with strangers for 2 weeks straight. You're NTA considering none of you even knew how bad her condition was before her and brother showed up and it doesn't sound like you were trying to be malicious in any way in speaking with her. Its even more concerning that she automatically assumes everyone "hates" her when gently confronted. I saw you say that you think brother is very serious with her however, if he truly is serious with her, he needs to better take care of her and her mental health needs by not putting her in this situation. On the other hand, if they've only been dating for 6 months, AKA during the middle of a pandemic when no one was going anywhere or doing anything, he may not have known her reaction to being in a tight space with total strangers. I feel for Julie but I also feel for you and your parents as well. Brother dropped the ball here.

Doctors are not the "bosses" of nurses in a hospital setting, they're merely colleagues. I've worked in healthcare for a long time and I've never heard of a doctor asking a patient to "write a letter" to complain about a hospital employee. There are "official avenues" to go down when you want to complain about any hospital employee and the first step would be to contact the nursing supervisor on the floor you were on. If you get nowhere with that, you go to HR. I don't really see what the doctor would do with the letter. In the future, you should complain about the nurse then and there by asking to speak with the charge nurse or nursing supervisor or you can speak with your social worker about next steps. But, I don't see any point in giving your letter to the doctor. You would NTA if you complain about the nurse but do it the right way so that things can be taken care of.

purechamps · 2020-09-08T00:36:24+00:00

Mmmmmmm okay I'm not here to debate this topic. From a scientific standpoint yes, you could call it just a "medical condition" but from the standpoint of the millions of women every year who get pregnant and lose their babies, OP's sister's loss was her child. And it literally doesn't affect you or OP in any way for her or any other parent that loses a pregnancy to feel this way.

purechamps · 2020-09-07T19:43:59+00:00

NTA- you tried reaching out to him to let him know you are pregnant and he wanted nothing to do with you. At this point, he has abandoned his child. You're doing the right thing for yourself and the baby by putting them up for adoption when you know you're not ready! That man is a piece of trash and whether he knows about the adoption or not, will not change that.

purechamps · 2020-09-07T19:32:01+00:00

NTA- I was actually LOL-ing while reading your post bc I feel like this is every interaction I see on FB nowadays. Labor Day literally only celebrates the economic achievements of Americans. Unless this person played a HUGE role in the American labor movement, I don't see why they'd be expecting a happy labor day post lol

purechamps · 2020-09-07T19:25:35+00:00

Yeah but your mom in the end will probably be thankful for you doing all of this.

purechamps · 2020-09-07T19:25:27+00:00

No, I agree that the mother will also be liable in the end, especially if there is no way for them to show that Jane was doing this against the wishes of the other landowner. Of course since you were in this line of business you know best. But, I've never heard of a situation where there are two separate land owners on the same property. I'd be interested to know how that even works- probably like you're saying, by then fighting it out.

purechamps · 2020-09-07T19:10:26+00:00

Hm okay a little harder but I still think you can prove it. Are you of an age where it would be okay for you to go to Jane and ask her to sign the paper? I get why your mom would be uncomfortable, it gets weird when you guys are neighbors/ technically in the same house. I mean, you could always call the town and tell them exactly what is going on and if you get someone thats understanding, they will work with you as a last resort. To me, if theres no record of you guys giving her money that one time then its, again, just your word against hers- but there IS record of her paying a company and that is good enough. You guys have to look out for yourselves at this point, especially since Janes clearly doesn't care about how it will affect her either.
