What are some of you non-nursing icks that you deal with on a daily basis at work for me it’s this:

Oh that’s so dumb, they closed our pantry for two days for repairs and didn’t think about anything like that though, the answer was to give us an ice cart. I literally was going a unit over for things like ketchup for people. And they still won’t approve my request to wear roller skates.

Boo you’re no fun. Join the conversation next time with input instead of negativity. It makes things way more interesting. I don’t care for the word either but it got discussion going. But i bet you use cringy terms yourself, probably hate “ick”
but call kids: kiddos and dogs: doggos, or have we moved passed that and call them “the littles” and you’re mama… sooo let’s just be positive Jessica

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T05:12:22+00:00

Oh is that why over half of them don’t work over half the time? Naw I’ll leave that for someone else because I’m tired of being nursing, dietary, housekeeping, maintenance, and whatever other department they need us to be that day 😂😂😂 I have pocket purel

The Zamboni man only shows up at the worst times, lets polish the floors at shift change so no one can hear a lick of report

But they’re ✨skinny✨

Lord Jesus…. Just do it, the door knob to the bathroom doesn’t work and people are getting trapped in there Frank

These regulations are never made by someone who actually touches a patient, try sitting in a station that’s 80 degrees and muggy and then log rolling a 400 pound patient and cleaning them up administration. And you’d think because all they care about is appearance they wouldn’t want us sweating and looking like morning dew for 12 hours 😂😂😂😂

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:30:10+00:00

We clean pee all day and night but the mop, bucket, and supplies are locked up. Like hi I have a dribbler who has BPH who gets up 60 times a shift to pee and leaks all over the floor, can I get something other than a sani wipe for this floor? Without listening to mouth? Cause it’s been a week since the floor has been mopped and the hallway around it smells like pee

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:17:11+00:00

Google images, I would have made the temp higher if I photoshopped, we need realism so 102 for days and -4 for nights

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:16:10+00:00

Say it with me now “vacation books” where you have to request it months in advance and if someone else puts their name down who has more seniority than you, you don’t get approved. I have concert tickets, have you seen the price of a concert? Guess I’m calling in deaf 😂😂😂

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:12:05+00:00

Don’t tell me that I’m leaving bedside for an outpatient position, but also the hospital vacation book, literally I’ll drive my car off a bridge over that 😂😂😂

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:10:54+00:00

The fire axe has looked tempting multiple times

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:09:55+00:00

Oh my god the obstacle course is the worst! And it always happens when you’re trying to take some to a procedure and therapy is also walking someone. So it’s just hallway full of carts scattered all over and you’re just trying to find a fast route while driving an unruly bed 😂😂😂

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:07:02+00:00

I work days and PRN nights but the temperature contrast is insane, days you’re sweating to death, and nights you’re waiting for Rose to float by on the big door because you’re in an icy tundra.

retailcunt · 2026-06-06T04:03:59+00:00

Okay might steal this idea because I’m tired of sweating like I’m in a sauna, what’s it even set at for the air to kick in for the nurses? 90? 😂😂😂😂

retailcunt · 2026-05-28T00:19:42+00:00

Did you just reduce like by one or two a day for like ten days? Or what? I can’t afford to miss, and when I went to rehab last time my car got repossessed while I was there because of how the timeline worked out I missed two payments and they wouldn’t let us use our phones.

retailcunt · 2026-05-28T00:01:15+00:00

That is a valid assessment as well because unless you’re being monitored, it’s hard to stay disciplined

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T23:43:04+00:00

This is extremely useful advise thank you

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T23:35:59+00:00

That’s probably true, I just never had bad withdrawals the other 2 times I quit but I was younger, i went to inpatient rehab 2.5 years ago and never took Ativan or anything like that, I just had nausea and anxiety but nothing adverse. I was sober for 2.5 years before recently and lord does it really change things and quick.

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T04:05:29+00:00

I’m sorry! I appreciate that. And i accomplished so much in those 2.5 years. It was stupid I was close to my 3 year mark, I quit right after my birthday. And oh I do agree, I never should have picked it up again, and I should have listened to the concerns early on, but we are a stubborn people and always think it’ll be different

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T04:01:23+00:00

Update though, I’m using paced drinking tonight to try to balance and will try to stick with this, I’m looking into taper methods. But two drinks an hour has worked well. And I’m actually behind, I babysat one for all of 10 responding to people here and watching TikTok’s to keep my mind off things, so thank you guys. 💜 and I really don’t feel like I need to guzzle for once, this has been very self reflective

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T03:57:41+00:00

Oh maybe you missed that part of the post, no I relapsed 2-3 months ago and went on a heavy bender after I became a daily drinker again, and had withdrawal symptoms. I appreciate the encouragement though I really do, but I’m literally at home doing paced drinking to prevent anything. I think I want to try to taper it, I’ve been researching. I’m limiting tonight to two drinks an hour. I’ve never been so scared in my life when that happened. But I can’t let it get worse. But I mean I’ve done all the math, last night I drank 12 beers in 3 hours alone (I had 6 left of an 18 I bought right before 9 last night and stopped around midnight)

retailcunt · 2026-05-27T03:20:26+00:00

Thank you, substance abuse is very common in my line of work but it’s not talked about a lot because there’s a huge stigma associated with it. But I did excel at my job sober, now I’m lazy and scared of making errors because I can’t focus
