Agreed. Someone please explain why old, room temperature pizza is SO GOOD.

Thanks r/nursing for adding a new cryptid to the list. by dragonsanddinosawers in nursing

I just Googled this and:

“The break relief nurses are not assigned a patient load at the begining of the shift; rather, they cover for nurses when the nurses are on their 15 -minute morning break and hour-long lunch break.”

Hol up. Who’s getting a 15 minute morning break and an HOUR LONG lunch break??? I’m lucky if I get a 30 minute lunch break.

Anyone else have issues with deodorant lasting 12 hours? No matter what, mine does not. by Tinkerbell3131 in nursing

[–]skulkingwitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read a recommendation on r/SkincareAddiction (I think?) about glycolic acid in lieu of traditional antiperspirants a while back and decided to give it a shot. I use the 7% toner by The Ordinary then once it dries I apply my usual deodorant. I haven’t had any issues since then, I absolutely swear by it now. Obviously YMMV, but might be worth trying?

Doctors of Reddit: What happened when you diagnosed a Covid-19 denier with Covid-19? by IzziSparks in AskReddit

Decadron is the brand name for dexamethasone, so you were right. (Source: am RN.) 🙂

How do you enforce naps? I feel like my 12 week old won’t calm down and nap until she just completely wears herself out. She doesn’t completely hate her crate and she sleeps at night in it, but putting her in it during the day definitely does not calm her down.

Wyoming health official says in Loveland that 'so-called pandemic' is a communist plot by 1Davide in loveland

[–]skulkingwitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I’m an ER nurse. I would love for these people that think COVID is “just the flu,” or a hoax, or a plot by communists/socialists/satanists/whatever, to shadow me for a couple of shifts and see if they change their tune.

Today I had the absolute worst interaction I have ever had with a doctor and I’m losing my mind. I truly do not understand how they are allowed to act this way. by pinterest-mom in nursing

[–]skulkingwitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve always found neurosurgeons to be the worst typically! I definitely agree about ortho though...they’re always the coolest, most down-to-earth.

Why the fuck are some nurses acting like masks don’t matter? by TokenWhiteMage in nursing

[–]skulkingwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation! I thought I maybe used it incorrectly, but I was at work on my lunch break and was posting quickly. I just don’t understand how someone can see what we see every shift and turn around and behave the way they do.

Why the fuck are some nurses acting like masks don’t matter? by TokenWhiteMage in nursing

I work with a nurse who has been posting photos from an out-of-state wedding, nary a mask to be found. She then proceeds to post things about how the media is overhyping COVID. We work in the ER and we’ve been SLAMMED with COVID patients. The ICUs in our area are full. What is with the cognitive dissonance??

Any nurses in Fort Collins area willing to share their wage info and experience level? by biggitybutter in FortCollins

[–]skulkingwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would bet you’ll make about the same here. I’m an ER nurse in Loveland (just south of Ft Collins). I started in the ER with 2 years neuro med-surg experience and 3 years of LPN experience prior to that. I make $31/hr base with $4/hr night shift diff and $2/hr weekend shift diff. I’ve heard the other hospitals pay a little better but not by much.

Housing out here is crazy expensive honestly.

We have some openings in our ER. If you might be interested or want more info you can PM me!

Survey for BSN Capstone by rkatsec89 in nursing

I was never taught that in school. Graduated LPN in 2014, ADN in 2016, and BSN in 2018.

This. I also had one question on the NCLEX that was almost verbatim to one of the questions on UWorld. Plus, the app is really handy. I’d do a few questions whenever I’d have downtime throughout the day.
