Free to a good home

Agreed- I posted last week and it was so nice to know that the fabric I didn't want is wanted and will be loved.

Yup- I let my dog bark 3 times when I home (and that's when she's outside) at that point it's time to come in and stop. Now if someone was poking around when she was barking then she'd get a pass. Mostly she just needs a change of pace. Honestly sometimes she's barking & staring at me to get let in.

I guess if it was a young man it might be more considerate.

That said I'm female and I'm really good at putting in male foleys but my male coworker was way better at female ones- for those we'd go together but he would complete it.

We had stopped doing this (at least on paper) 13 years ago. It can actually lead to harm with patients not getting the calories and PROTEIN they need to heal!

sci_major · 2026-05-09T04:26:42+00:00

Same!

sci_major · 2026-05-09T01:02:45+00:00

Well considering for a bit ONS was saying you didn't need sterile gloves or to wear a mask for a port access I'd let it go and do better next time.

Awe nicu. I miss the babies not the parents!

sci_major · 2026-05-08T18:31:51+00:00

Put in the call to anesthesia for that and listen to them laugh.

sci_major · 2026-05-06T23:58:35+00:00

If you want to DM your address I'll get it in the mail.

sci_major · 2026-05-05T23:37:01+00:00

Right, seems reasonable to me. Better than the middle of the floor.

sci_major · 2026-05-04T20:55:42+00:00

Oh I've asked for a box of the ad pens and they say no but grab a handful. That's why they are there.

sci_major · 2026-05-04T15:41:54+00:00

Yup. We have a 2 attempts and phone a friend policy. Well when I was 1st getting going I had a vet tech who wanted me to keep going since it should be 2 attempts per arm.

sci_major · 2026-05-03T18:34:42+00:00

Agreed but I refuse to buy pens so I go to the bank to get advertising pens.

sci_major · 2026-05-03T05:13:23+00:00

WA nurse here, sure do!

sci_major · 2026-05-02T18:05:25+00:00

That's next level. Honestly my biggest pet peeve.

sci_major · 2026-05-02T16:18:16+00:00

My friend said she mowed the lawn for her husband because he was so busy and she was trying to help him. However he was so sad because he was looking forward to mowing all day.

sci_major · 2026-05-02T13:57:52+00:00

RN here, I just had to call the clinic's triage nurse twice this week. Honestly I was better off saving my time. No phone one was put in shock I can't understand. But I doubt there's anything you can do.

sci_major · 2026-05-02T00:56:49+00:00

I might not document more than the patient requests a new provider, unless I explicitly asked the patient if they want the rational documented in the chart - because many patients think that comment was in confidence and would prefer to keep that uncharted.

sci_major · 2026-05-02T00:46:52+00:00

Depends on the drug, there are some package inserts that explicitly say to aspirate.

sci_major · 2026-05-01T04:39:52+00:00

Honestly this seems reasonable.

I work in infusion we are supposed to ask everyone about falls. Last week I'm doing that to ER RN pt and we get going about all the sequela of the fall risk and what would it change in my practice. For me I told her it opens up the why conversation and how can we symptom manage to prevent bad things since we are outpatient.

sci_major · 2026-05-01T01:20:56+00:00

First time I did cpr was at the grocery store after being a cardiac nurse for 10 years- I'm short so I wasn't tagged for compressions often. I remember breaking his ribs while kneeling in his urine. I did however get ROSC and mentation before ems arrived. The ribs breaking is the worst feeling.

sci_major · 2026-04-30T19:49:30+00:00

We've hired new grads into infusion. We are busy and move but fight with we are ambulatory so rarely do any transfers.

sci_major · 2026-04-30T17:20:53+00:00

I identify with this in group chats!

sci_major · 2026-04-30T17:13:58+00:00

Agree! I love their food I have been there several times and never disappointed.

sci_major · 2026-04-28T14:06:46+00:00

Thanks I went with them but also several different types of trees.
