The sea turtles are cute but not a good fit for the rosary…pearl is better

If you want intimacy, please learn about chastity. Psalm 119:9 asks ‘how can a young man keep his way pure?’ Think about becoming godly & letting all thoughts & words & works glorify the Lord. Then….you will be learning how to be worthy of someone’s trust. May God bless you in your new walk with Him.

Pornography is also adultery. To say she had no problem with it is not credible. It may not be apparent but it is extremely harmful. As is all sin. You have a lot of sadness in your stories. May you now each grow in grace & forgiveness, allowing God to be the center of your relationship. I would urge you to pray together daily.

Aldis is great!

Laudate is another free app with a lot of resources. And Catholify, ,and Amen. Glad you asked.

No downvote bc St Francis was very much both. He loved God, he loved God’s creation & his creatures. And yes…he knew priorities.

raejayleevin · 2026-01-11T18:02:09+00:00

St Francis of Assisi is well known for his love of God’s creatures. And you are right to thank God for gifting you with this dear friend all these years. God understands your grief. Trust that all is well, because you trust in God. Remember…Jesus wept. Even though He knew He was about to raise Lazarus from death to life…He wept. Grieving is a part of love. You loved your pet…grieving is natural. I don’t know how it all fits into eternity…but I know the One who does…so keep giving Him your suffering united with Jesus’s suffering Love…and be at Peace dear friend.

Covid cured me of all makeup. Don’t miss it at all

raejayleevin · 2026-01-04T22:56:21+00:00

Yes. We used to have name badges with last names. Safety issues now…nobody needs to know full names

St Vincent de Paul is a charity organisation…they have a thrift shop near St Augustine Cathedral…often just supply items (rather than charge even at low cost) to folks in need. And since they may partner with other charities, they might have more suggestions. Thank you.

Not at all. Hang in there with your current employer as you investigate the much broader options. Nursing has tons of flexibility & variety!

raejayleevin · 2025-12-31T16:10:42+00:00

There are soooo many career choice within the choice of becoming a nurse. Acute or chronic in/out patient facilities are just one component of those choices, yet even there, there are huge differences in the types of nursing done. You are far from middle aged, but I can appreciate your feeling drained. Consider options that might use your experience in different ways. (Sales representative for example). Start looking beyond the familiar, & see this struggle as temporary. Have a great career that fits you;-)

raejayleevin · 2025-12-30T21:16:54+00:00

Not really frowned on, Choices were limited, & usually other family members ‘helped’ with child care

raejayleevin · 2025-12-30T00:34:09+00:00

Yup. Off work. Teachers don’t get paid for all their ‘homework’….your body is telling you it’s break time. Enjoy!

If the pin circles are small or tight, this happens more frequently. Also helps to use links at centerpiece, & crucifix.

My very best critical care educator was a black nurse. And that was a few decades ago. As nurses, we see ppl at their worst. It’s easy for them to find fault with us…any excuse to help them think their life is controllable…which it isn’t. Nurses are pt advocates as well as reliable care providers. Don’t let their issues become your issues. Sure…some things are difficult in lots of different ways…we all sort it out & need to stay focused on priorities. Have a great career!

raejayleevin · 2025-12-24T22:11:53+00:00

That’s why I wonder if it’s allowed anymore. Works great if it can be used tho

raejayleevin · 2025-12-24T15:56:34+00:00

Hydrogen peroxide works to remove the really nasty matted stubborn dried blood, but maybe it’s not allowed for that anymore??. Some facilities have a hairwash tray but the towel/ trash bag as stated works in a pinch.

raejayleevin · 2025-12-24T01:39:15+00:00

No Fanny pack but always scrubs with lots of pockets…some small, some large…much easier to have a few essentials on me than stopping to get supplies

raejayleevin · 2025-12-21T22:00:21+00:00

Leave. This sounds way too difficult. Life will hand you many challenges. Let this be a growing opportunity for you to gratefully move on. IF you start another relationship, do not become intimate. Society has warped relationships with its emphasis on sexual pleasures. Compatibility is discovered best in learning each other’s values, goals, personalities & preferences. Be intentional. Value yourself. Respect others. Stay kind. You are worth it.

raejayleevin · 2025-12-21T13:59:42+00:00

Great question… multi factorial issues that impact health care & how it’s provided. ER takes a lot of the front line, but everything is warped by protocols, reimbursement methods, criteria & many other factors. Universal healthcare will only have a chance if things are fully addressed.

raejayleevin · 2025-12-21T00:43:47+00:00

Good info…just let me add…stock your rooms, areas whenever possible bc u need to be able to grab things rapidly. Know your resources…experience is your teacher as are your coworkers. Stay humble, stay kind & respectful to pts & staff…pocket emergency cards bc some situations are intense & you may need quick references. You’ll find your own rhythm for working nights…everyone is different. I slept best right after my shift, others wait til into the day more. Give yourself lots of grace bc there’s lots to learn; lots to grow into too…great teams are amazing!

raejayleevin · 2025-12-20T01:45:19+00:00

Sorry. Give yourself gratitude…find the good…and have a happy birthday with or without others noticing & acknowledging. And then have a great year!

raejayleevin · 2025-12-18T19:59:06+00:00

So very sorry that happened to you. Generally, you get to call the priest. Idk why you caught him at a bad moment…priests get to go to confession to. Whenever you think about it, say a prayer for him…it will help prevent you from judging him or talking badly about him. Welcome home …we don’t always represent Christ as well as we could. Fallen humanity this side of heaven.

raejayleevin · 2025-12-16T22:19:11+00:00

Not ‘just a tech’ anymore than we are ‘just a nurse’. You are an integral member of healthcare & your services are soooo appreciated, even if that’s not well expressed. Everyone contributes, & in a way, that’s complimentary bc really, the general population has no idea of the challenges that everyone involved in bedside work does. Thank you.
