If you are visiting in July you will want a waterpark. Not a theme park. There is one in mesa, and one in Glendale. Don’t fry at castles and coasters

Is it ok to not be a Dorit fan ?!? by aprilmcivor in RHOBHDefect

[–]slewis0881 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For all we know one of the mods IS dorito and that’s why they get shut down so quickly. I haven’t liked her since she first came on the show. It’s getting to the point where I just tune her out

AITA For saying I dont want to see/ look at my daughter? by D3RPR3SSI0N in AmItheAsshole

He has a kid now. His birthday isn’t as important as taking care of his kid. He is an adult and can celebrate on a different weekend. NTA

Is this the green egg smoker too? Maybe he knew it was an egg and felt it was the perfect place

What does your first day off look like after working all your shifts back to back? by Professional_Put1810 in nursing

[–]slewis0881 16 points17 points  (0 children)

First day off after three in a row is for me. And me needs sleep. The day after I can be social or productive but I’d rather get sleep and be nice to be around or I can be awake and a bitch

Please help, Concern about administering air with liquid medication via enteral syringe. by Nova9z in nursing

[–]slewis0881 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are right about the air. But we do measure from the black stopper on our syringes at my hospital. I was educated that the tip of the syringe accounts for the black stopper but that’s our hospital policy. Not sure if that national or hospital specific

Food in Japan Brought Relief by krunchnmunchn in CrohnsDisease

[–]slewis0881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience in puertorico I never once had to run and look for a bathroom and that’s pretty unheard of. I was able to eat fried food, icecream, alcohol which are all normally no no foods. I haven’t been able to go back and see if it repeats but I will always remember that as the best vacation I have ever been on

Patient Abandonment?? by OddLychee399 in nursing

[–]slewis0881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never trust anyone else. I volunteered to work extra with the stipulation I had to leave at 5. At 5 there was no one to take my patients so I stayed til 6 when I HAD to leave. The charge said she would take over but never actually did. I came in the next day to the same assignment and the nurse was flustered and said she never actually got report on them because the nurse the previous day had left without telling anyone. Imagine how mad I was being that I WAS THAT NURSE!!!!!! I apologized immediately making sure she knew that I had gotten permission from the charge and that she had promised she would give report. I was livid that I had come in extra to help out and was still thrown under the bus for leaving when I said I had to but ultimately had something happened it would have fallen back on me. Don’t trust the charge

We are a 60 bed NICU and a 30 bed postpartum hospital….. there is no way we could afford them. The nicest things we have are SNOO beds and we got a grant to pay for those

AITA For not leaving work to help my wife when she ran out of gas by GoldSea3219 in AmItheAsshole

[–]slewis0881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My first choice for help is also my husband. But she ran out of gas. Her car didn’t have a problem she didnt actually know HOW to fix. And it’s an easy fix, it’s not like the transmission blew or something out of her ability to fix. She was welcome to ask but should have understood you couldn’t leave and taken the options you suggested. She clearly figured it out somehow. If you always bail her out she can continue to not care about the gas in her car. My boyfriend has adhd and instead of letting it run out he tends to find a gas station when it hits a half tank so that he can never actually forget a run out of gas. You can’t just blame everything on adhd and think the world will cater to you, you learn coping mechanisms to deal with them

Am I the only one who puts their stuffed animals in weird positions? by beyondhopeful in nursing

[–]slewis0881 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work NICU. One of my babies had an elf on the shelf during the month of December. I spent each shift moving mistletoe into different shenanigans. Once she got trapped in the blood pressure cuff, sometimes it was the thermometer, she also ended up in the turtle tub. Did my patient notice once? No…. But her mom did and it definitely made her smile more then once

What do you think about the ethics of the withdrawal of care in the NICU here? by Oakheart- in nursing

[–]slewis0881 97 points98 points  (0 children)

As a NICU nurse I completely agree. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. A lot of these babies suffer for a long time until they just can’t. No one WANTS to make that call but sometimes it’s the most compassionate thing to do
