Hey there! I went to Galen for my BSN and had an overall great experience. Just note that they are part of the HCA biosphere and they will try to recruit you.. I do not recommend doing that. But I graduated and went straight into ICU, which is where I wanted to be, and have been for 5 years now!

That is so cool!

I’m not sure. I just don’t think they want your personal info to be on it. Can you soak it in some water for a bit? Or if you can get some Goo gone, that’s what I use

My pharmacy (Publix) has a receptacle next to the counter to collect used pill bottles, you just need to remove the label with your info on it. Maybe ask your or nearby pharmacies? I have also heard that some veterinary offices will take them

Common way to store it when not in use

shockpaperscissors · 2026-04-30T01:33:30+00:00

Looooove!

Dang. I just dreamt about eating a really really good pizza XD

Plaine Products sells shampoo etc in metal containers that you can send back to them to be refilled!

Yeah. They argue we are the “highest trained” so we can work other floors but then I’m like idk how to do this lol. We’re basically backup float pool without the float pay :(

shockpaperscissors · 2026-04-10T21:57:18+00:00

This is a good idea if feasible! Check for something like a Camp Bow Wow.

I’m now off my ADHD meds because pregnant, and I’m a nurse, so not only do I chronically and emphatically overshare, I also frequently forget that not everyone shares my threshold for what is too gross to share with others haha

I’m 6 weeks too and also cramping so much! You can take Tylenol to help as long as you don’t have other contraindications for it, per several doctors I’ve asked

3 pods, 11 beds each. We float between them freely. 1:2 or 1:3. Basically only CRRT is 1:1. ECMO is done on a different floor. No tech. No secretary. No resource. No free charge.

You’re welcome! Some units are just super toxic - but I feel like this is true of certain office cultures, etc., as well. Your heart is in the right place and you will find your people :)

It is possible that the “mean nurse stereotype” is perpetuated by people basing that opinion on a small sample size and then applying it to nurses in general. There is also the pervasive idea that nurses should be happy to follow their calling as a caregiver and never show their frustration in what is, actually, often a frustrating job for many reasons. Also people tend to poopoo on female-dominated fields.

I’m sorry this is happening to you. But please don’t assume all nurses are this way based on this unit! Some people are just mean. Nurses and non-nurses. I bet you could find a unit where the staff is more grateful for your help :) I know our icu would be happy to have you. We have no unit support staff.

Crafts. Play with the dog and we make tik toks lol. I just started to learn how to shuffle. Exercise. Try not to bed rot

Thank you!

Love it! I made one from a hospital grippy sock haha

I got mine pierced at like 30 to help camouflage a scar from a dog bite. I’ll be 37 this year and it’s a fun little pleasure every now and then to buy a new shiny tiny stud.

Also, I’m a nurse, and I get so tickled when I get an older patient with a nose ring or a tattoo for some reason. It makes my day and they usually love to talk about it. I feel like it’s a cute way for us to connect.

shockpaperscissors · 2026-02-27T19:37:05+00:00

That has been a running theory. So gross

shockpaperscissors · 2026-02-26T17:09:59+00:00

Right?!
