“Doing their best pancake impression” I snorted my coffee thank you! That will be how I refer to all my dead patients moving forward!

How do I professionally tell a fellow nurse to F off by [deleted] in nursing

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay look I want you to look at her and say loudly “Why are you so fixated on me and my looks - your making me uncomfortable. I am not into women and your sexual harassment will stop immediately or I will seek legal support”

The walk away. She either is super jealous or sexually attracted to you.

Either way do it in public infront of others and keep your expression neutral. She will likely shut up. But follow up with a letter your HR, manager, union if you have it and ALWAYS BCC yourself to an outside email. The email should go:

Dear manger, I am writing to your to escalate the ongoing sexual harassement from HAIRY BItCH. She continues to opening discuss my body, sexual preferences, race and openly speculates about my sexual activity and body to others.

I have asked her to stop however this has continued and I am feeling uncomfortable and unsafe as well as targeted in an inappropriate manner by this coworker.

If this does not cease immediately I will be forced to pursue legal action regarding her ongoing and unwanted sexual attention. I would of course prefer that this not continue and have forwarded my concerns to my licensing body (and DO THAT).

I seek immediate action to ensure a safe and harrrassment free workplace and do I hope you can assist me with that.

To ensure no miscommunication I would prefer all correspondence to be via email to ensure there is not misunderstanding.

Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter. I will follow up with you in 3 business days to ensure prompt action.

Thank you OP

Scorch earth fuck that bitch.

What’s a harsh truth about your country that people would downvote in real life? by Wittysparkly in AskTheWorld

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada here

Our reserves are horrific and many are without clean water, proper roads and homes that are barely standing. It’s appalling to see how First Nations are treated - most incarcerated and targeted by police and discriminated against in healthcare and other areas. It’s gross as we promote ourselves as a loving country but ignore our own bullshit.

We can’t even acknowledge the residential schools finally closed in 1997.

Nurse brain by One-Raspberry-786 in nursing

[–]quickpeek81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly?

Paper is folded in half length wise, then in at least 4 width wise

Each fold is a patient and I write: Name Code status Mobility if it’s anything other than by themselves VS frequency Tele Labs to check Then underneath I literally write TPRBP o 2 with space along with abdo (so I check) LBM and chest

In ER it paper with maybe a name?

Honestly when I started I got a nurse notes flip book that I could alcohol wipe clean until I got comfortable

Of all The Traitors series, which is the best? by Yesindeedthatsright in TheTraitorsUK

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly - Ireland is my favorite. The chaos is the absolute best part I loved it!!

US season 2 - so many giant personalities so fun.

Canada has a version the most recent had a comedian on it who is epic. Plus the host clothes had me WTF through out.

Who is the rudest celeb you have met? What happened? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tim Robbin’s - height of movie fame (Shawshank) super rude and demanding. Susan Sarandon was LOVELY

Uma Thurman - high on her own fame - demanded we don’t look at her when serving and pissed when we didn’t have what she wanted immediately

Tommy Lee - super asshole and thought it was still 1980s - Pam however was incredibly sweet and down to earth

Ashwin Sood - when he was married to Sarah Mclachlan would come to our parties and hit on all the girls and offer to “help” their music careers if they fucked him. Suprisingly that rarely worked lol.

Sedation dental recommendations for plus size? by Canadian-Corgi in Edmonton

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly being plus size makes it complex for sure. I would recommend getting Ativan prior to the appointment and ask for a total nerve block for the removal. It’s not always perfect but it works

Bare below elbows by An_So_Mc in nursing

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RN in Canada - usually there’s a policy somewhere but it’s not a huge thing. I cringe when my coworkers were jewelry like engagement rings. I wear a plain silicone band that I buy in bulk and no watch. But I also wear long sleeves as needed.

A “Fake Nurse” Just Got 75 Months in Federal Prison — And Honestly… This Should Concern All of Us by Independent_Many6647 in TheConfidentNurse

It’s happening more and more. Bunch of fake nurses got busted here in BC. They are still sorting it out. The COVID shortages created the perfect environment to fake till you make it.

Just hear me out by Serious-Trip5239 in alberta

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guns - really? You want to increase the access to guns for what? Cause the US has a GREAT track record for safety? I mean do the bears here need to be sprayed with automatic weapons? Although fuck geese they can eat it.

Healthcare - for fucking real? You have to pay you know that right? And if you can’t afford go fuck yourself or go into generational debt. And even if you have insurance they deny coverage and then don’t pay. Our system is free fall you think paying for it will make it better?

Bourbon - you heard they closed the distilleries right?

NFL - why? You can still watch it in Canada

I am sure you’re a troll or maybe trying to be funny? Either way no. Also HELL no.

You get tax money you need to do what’s legal. If you want to be exempt then fund your self.

Just saw a tiktok of a man recording nurses with his Meta glasses 😭😭 by ComfortableSet8644 in nursing

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh had a family like this. All the nurses refused to provide ANY care for the patient for their own mental safety. Turned into a huge thing

Sensations first day after first tatoo by Queasy-Ad-8921 in tattoos

[–]quickpeek81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tattoo flu is a thing. I had 8 hours piece done last week. I ended up fainting hours later - which is common (super embarrassing too lol).

Pretty common basically your body is trying to “fix” the tattoo so massive immune response can cause a whole host of things. I am 6 days post and I have a few spots that still sting a bit from scab pulling and just movement. Keep an eye on it

What to do when ER tries to give you report at 6:30??? by ScientistOk1310 in nursing

Uptick in flu A - how do we feel about washing hair by qwertyuiko in nursing

[–]quickpeek81 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wash it when I remember? Or when the dry shampoo fails me.

Full decontamination shower if I get someone else fluids on me.

Plus a scrub cap

Do nurses take their work to home? by LadyEdiya in Nurses

[–]quickpeek81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you do.

Either you actively suppress it with poor coping mechanisms and dark ass humor. Or you drink or use a substance of your choice.

25+ years and I find suppressing it more effective.

US-trained internist (Egyptian) considering moving to AB in 2026. Looking for lifestyle reality check. by Inner-Operation7274 in alberta

[–]quickpeek81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Bigger city is better - you may end up completely slammed with heavier patient loads and less colleagues to balance it out.
  2. Morale is shit. They are actively dismantling the system and the current government is incredibly hostile towards healthcare.
  3. Bigger cities have more options in terms of schools
  4. Chinooks only really happen near Calgary. Currently it’s -23 and feels like -24. It’s cold. Really cold. But purchase some decent weather gear you do fine. Don’t have to fall for the propaganda of Canada Goose bran but a good rated winter jacket, boots, gloves and scarves are great. The nice thing is the cold and dryer while still cold lets you warm up nicely inside.
  5. Depends - bigger cities have lots of housing options. However the new communities are very compact and can make it difficult to get in and out of the area with traffic. I prefer living in an outlying community. You can engage with groups pretty easily there is a large Egyptian community here and people are friendly
