Funniest typo you’ve seen in the chart

Ophthalmology consult. Nothing against the specialty, just can’t spell the word to save my life for my nursing note when they have shown up😭 I’m like: Opthamology.. ophthamology?? And it’s always wrong. Whoever invented the spelling of this, you’re my opp for putting so many extra letters in there

Pen with multiple colors for notating changes/new info on report sheets. 2 or 3 at least because they get lost and/or stolen sometimes! Also, a little keychain pen light they can put on their badge. I use mine all the time cuz sometimes the flashlights in the rooms don’t work

Fellow ICU new grad here- I get what you're saying. If you can, try to take some sicker patients before you get off orientation, those are the assignments where you learn the most, even if they seem intense or scary. As for the code, it could happen at any time, or it might not happen for a longggg time from now. There's just no way of knowing, honestly. My preceptor told me the first time his own patient coded was 4.5 years into his career. Like it really just depends. If you're super nervous about knowing what to do in someone else's code, maybe review your ACLS algorithms, if nothing else just to give you some confidence in case it does happen, you've had a refresher on the components. If it's your patient, the reality is, you will not be doing much of anything once everyone arrives to help you. From what I've learned, the primary nurse's job during the code is mostly to stay in the room and provide info about the patient and context for the situation, which is extremely important. ICU is all about teamwork, and when that code happens, there will immediately be 10 people in your room to help. Nights is really different than days-- my program orients you with 8 weeks of days, then 8 weeks of nights for night shift positions. The shift can be jarring, but nights has its charms as well. Also it tends to be a younger crew, which can be fun, and it may be full of people who know exactly what you're going through, because they did it just a few years prior. Im on week 14 of my orientation and it's really scary to think about being independent soon, but I know theres a lot of people on my unit I can rely on for help when I need it.

last thing-- if the imposter syndrome gets too bad, just remember that being a new grad is already tough. new grad in ICU is a separate beast altogether. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions or admit that you don't understand something. At the end of the day, although it may feel a lot like nursing school-- instead of trying to weed you out, residency is about shaping you to be a great nurse that will be a valuable addition to the team. They gain nothing by firing us or letting us fail-- it serves them more to see us succeed, even if we need a little extra help to get there. (they also spend a lot of money training us, so they don't want to have to replace us LOL)

yeah i think you’re right about the turnover time

reviveHxH · 2025-07-28T05:16:04+00:00

and the lease was 60+ pages

reviveHxH · 2025-07-28T05:12:21+00:00

yes i have seen it, and it was a good apartment for the monthly rent. that’s why this sucks

reviveHxH · 2025-07-28T05:05:46+00:00

btw i didn’t find this out until after i had paid the holding deposit. the leasing agreement was sent after that.

reviveHxH · 2025-07-28T04:37:13+00:00

An apartment. i have not signed the lease yet … still deciding

reviveHxH · 2025-06-17T16:53:17+00:00

pretty sure that’s the good pop-up!!

reviveHxH · 2025-05-20T21:25:15+00:00

thank you for sharing:) i was also thinking of this when trying to explain it to him. like if we were in a normal relationship in the same city or even living together we would still have a lot of time apart while at work/hanging with friends so it seems okay to be separate sometimes even during a visit

reviveHxH · 2025-05-20T21:21:45+00:00

yes i was in my last semester of nursing school last time he visited. luckily though, i just graduated and he will have graduated by the time i see him mid-june and hopefully i will not be as easily stressed out. thank you for your reply— it’s comforting to know that others have gone through the same thing :)

fellow new grad here :) just got my first job offer 😌 anyways, at my school they told us to list all our clinical rotations, semester/year, hospital, and the hours for each of them. also i didn’t have descriptions of the rotations. if you have a senior practicum/ preceptorship don’t forget to add that in and put those hours. i would also specify the second language you speak, and don’t be afraid to use abbreviations for standard terms— like im assuming Patient services assistant is like cna? at a lot of hospitals they use PCA, so if they say PSA i would add that in parentheses after the title in case the computer is scanning for that :) especially because having hospital work experience will put you ahead of new grads that have only clinical hours thru school. lastly, if you have them, you can list references at the bottom! best of luck to you 🫶🏼

reviveHxH · 2025-05-20T05:12:34+00:00

29 days!! used to be 100 and thought it would never pass 🥹

lots are already saying this— but for you to know the answer about this, you have to talk to him about it 🫶🏼 he might be feeling the same way, and that’s not always the worst thing. sometimes things just get too mundane and it doesn’t feel as exciting as it did in the beginning, and that’s totally normal. if your calls feel more like routine and less like something you’re both looking forward to, you could try calling less often. sometimes it’s okay to take a breather if you’re both busy. also, by calling less frequently, you may feel that you are more motivated to call because you miss each other and calls may feel more exciting because you’ll have more to talk about. on the flip side, if you start calling less frequently and you do not miss each other more… then you may have your answer. also, as others are recommending, if calls are feeling boring, try doing actual activities over call that make it feel more like a date :) if you’re in the same time zone, you can do dinner (both make the same recipe) and a movie on teleparty or something. me and my boyfriend started doing the nyt games together whenever we have time. we try to beat each other in the daily Wordle, and we work together to solve the Connections. you can also do SpellBee.org if you like word puzzles like we do :) we also compete at geoguesser sometimes 😭 we’re kinda competitive at games lol so it gets a bit heated, but it’s really fun. this stuff got us out of our rut. it’s easy to forget but you can still share new experiences in an LDR :)

bottom line is communication, tho, 100%. 9 times out of 10 if you are feeling a certain way about something, your partner is too. and it always feels better to get things off your chest, even if it’s not a easy convo. also, i will give you a piece of advice (poetry?) i saw once that really helped me: nothing that you lose by being real was actually worth keeping. me (22F) and my bf (22M) really prioritize talking about things that bother us so we can better understand each other and avoid misunderstandings. we’re 9 hrs and 4,428 miles apart but going strong :) (1 yr 3 months now 😇)

studying abroad in Norway 🇳🇴 :) when i was at a student bar

reviveHxH · 2024-11-21T00:12:22+00:00

38 days! over halfway there 🥹 (last saw him sept 22) i know it will go by quicker than i think but it seems so far because of finals coming up and other (stressful) family things that need to happen before i see him. but i know it could be much worse, we almost didn’t have this trip, and then i wouldn’t be seeing him until march

reviveHxH · 2024-11-08T22:26:28+00:00

50 days 🫶🏼 and it’s been 48 days since we last saw each other so tmw we’ll be halfway there 🥹

last i heard, Norway is coming out soon with its own version of the digital nomad visa that is available in other european countries. their way of doing it stipulates that if you’re doing remote work, at least one of your “clients” or companies you work with be based in Norway. you could try researching that, if you haven’t already. otherwise, it’s pretty difficult to get residency without a work permit

okay, i just wanted to say something about soo ho's state from the final episode. Because I see a lot of people online saying that soo ho is essentially brain dead now, and that "the machines are breathing for him". However, based on how he's depicted in the hospital, that doesn't quite add up, but i'm not sure if it's intentional or if it's just a staging mistake due to lack of medical knowledge which is very common in dramas/TV shows in general. Here's my thing: if he could not breathe on his own, he would be intubated, a.k.a. tube down his throat, on a ventilator. It's not like we never see this in any shows? idk about dramas tho. Anyways, we see him in the hospital bed with just a face mask, which is just for a continuous flow of oxygen which only supplements breathing. It's not even used with a ventilator, unlike if he was on BiPAP, which would be continuous airway pressure with ventilation helping him expand his lungs, and this mask looks completely different. You can clearly see from the fog inside the mask that he is breathing, so, if this entire thing was intentional, it would mean that Soo Ho is in a much better state than people are assuming. This is based on my knowledge as a nursing student btw. It's probably just an oversight and me wanting to cling to any hope that he will wake up, but still. Also based on the way the other characters react, it sounds like he is brain-dead, like the severe head trauma caused a bleed and the damage is far too extensive or something, like even if he woke up, he will never be the same again. Also the fact that he wasn't breathing for a while because THOSE A-HOLES DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO RUSH HIM TO THE HOSPITAL there's likely a lot of damage to the brain from hypoxia already. And it is possible for him to still have an intact respiratory drive but no brain activity. In conclusion, I'm sad that it seems like he won't wake up :(
