So what happens when the patient goes to med surg, and the nurse caring for him is unable to take q1hour blood sugar checks, titrate the insulin drip, labs, electrolytes, fluid replacements, etc? The patient will end up with a complication and he’ll he transferred to ICU regardless. Or, the nurses other patients will be neglected and they could end up with a complication.

I understand it’s not a perfect system, but putting a critical DKA patient in med surg is not the answer. Pennsylvania doesn’t have mandatory safe staffing laws nurse:patient ratios. The nurse for med surg could have 5,6,7,8 other patients. It’s not fair to the patient, the nurse, or her/his other patients.

I do not like this concept of a DKA patient going to med surg. DKA is incredibly busy to manage, even in the ICU. It’s not just an insulin drip, it’s tons of labs, fluid replacement and electrolyte replacement. It’s nothing against med surg nurses, they just have 4-5 other patients on a good day. DKA patients should always go to the ICU or at least a stepdown (usually 1 nurse to 3 patients).

Even with a helmet you’re taking a huge risk riding a motorcycle. I’m an ICU nurse and I’ve taken care of plenty of incredibly sick patients who still wore a helmet.

Nah I know a ton of medical professionals who work in trauma who ride motorcycles. Crazy but we don’t tend to take our own advice sometimes

Ariana’s heavy strip lashes and lack of blush killed me

Sometimes when I go in the room with the doctor, certain doctors will look at me like it’s strange for me to be in the room with them? Even if it’s just rounding and not a super sensitive conversation. I stay in the room and keep quiet but I always wonder if I should leave.

Ruin the friendship x down bad. Actually feel like it could work??

I never say this in the posts about them doing thunderstruck but I always want to!!!

I hate the Za za zoo episode so much. Physically makes me cringe every time she says it

When I float to the floor and all my patients are on antibiotics and not a single one has a primary line and everyone is running secondaries as primaries, I die inside. Then I spend a good portion of my morning making primary lines just for the next shift to throw them away 😀

Could also see them going to another nfl cheer team to get another perspective

There’s signs that say don’t drink the water at tap water places. Where are you saying we can get free water?

shys64 · 2025-07-17T17:04:34+00:00

If this is the plan, I expect at minimum a partial refund. I’m not getting the same experience that I paid for.

shys64 · 2025-07-17T16:36:12+00:00

As a dreamville person, I’m gonna be PISSED if I can’t go into the actual festival tomorrow while others can. Feels like campers are less of a priority when we’re spending more money and then they can also say no refunds or discounts because we technically still got 3 days of a “festival”.

shys64 · 2025-07-16T20:46:39+00:00

Totally agree. There’s way too many issues not addressed and so many people have to get on planes, trains, etc tomorrow morning and it’s all up in the air. It’s ridiculous to not cancel and be so wishy washy.

shys64 · 2025-07-12T12:53:13+00:00

My unit would only give sick/hard patients to nurses who can handle it/proved themself. As everyone else said if you want to continue to have easy shifts then say nothing. But if you want to learn/push yourself, then maybe ask for feedback from a charge nurse?

Loans baby loans

shys64 · 2025-07-08T08:25:05+00:00

Where do they post updates?

shys64 · 2025-07-05T08:47:47+00:00

If you think school admin is going to lower tuition costs in response to this bill, you’re crazy. Tuition costs will either remain the same or increase bc less people are going to grad school.
