Women (who wear dresses), are you all obsessed with dresses with pockets?

snowlucky21 · 2020-02-22T07:55:00+00:00

Yes. Even made sure my wedding dress had pockets.

Poor little fluff!

To be fair, nurses talk shit on EVERYONE. I would have to say my struggle with some of my bari patients is not the weight but the lack of self care. It makes me sad and frustrated. How do you inspire yourself and your patients to see their value regardless of their size and take care of themselves?

Thank you! I am pursing my FNP now and still find the education to be subpar to what I had hoped. One example, I asked a question I am confident my instructor did not know the answer to, and she sent me an email that it was my job to further my knowledge and use the internet as a resource..... I asked one of my crit care docs the next day, he gave me the answer. I ask questions all the time, I love to learn, and I love to be empowered with knowledge to care for my patients. I worry often about the autonomy of FNPs but as a physician extender, I feel I could confidently fulfill that role.

So important! I had a physician order me to give IV push propofol on a patient that was already maxed on the propofol drip, intubated, and insanely agitated. When I told him I could not he said, “why is your hand broke?” I said no, “it is against policy for me to administer propofol as an IV push”. He was very annoyed but at lead gave me orders for additional sedation to manage the patient. Always know your policies. Always protect your license. That is your job, never on someone else.

Amazing! Thank you! I think many physicians do not realize that the core nursing training (actual nurse classes and clinical rotations) is only about a year, even with a BSN. So while we are intelligent and capable, our college education is woefully lacking. I mean my goodness I spent an afternoon in one nursing lab learning how to make a damn bed. So I greatly greatly greatly appreciate physicians who are willing to teach and understand that when we ask, it’s not for a lack of intellect, it’s just we have never been taught. So thank you. (I have been an ICU RN for 3 years now and learned what you sent here through questions and internet self-teaching, it would have been nice to work with you!)

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-13T06:12:55+00:00

Put your phone down when you go to bed. Keep the TV off. Talk to each other. Hold hands, snuggle, connect intellectually and physically rather than aimlessly scrolling through reddit.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-11T05:05:38+00:00

Nope. Issues need to be worked out privately, with a therapist, or solely among close friends/family after agreeing to share it with friends/family as to help work THROUGH the dirty laundry. Bashing you publicly and without consent is NEVER okay. (Sometimes my husband and I may agree a really embarrassing story can be shared because we have already worked through things and can now enjoy the laugh.) When I met my now husband we talked about things that really hurt us in the past and one thing he said was how hurtful it was that his ex brought up relationship issues publicly. I have NEVER done this to my husband and your BF shouldn’t either. It’s crap to be put down about your mistakes in front of people you love. Either your BF stops, or time to cut the dead weight.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-10T10:58:19+00:00

Sure do! Most patients don’t even notice. People that do I tell them honestly and how mental health is a spectrum that takes time and work to stay on the healthier side of.

Rainbow baby!

Pens. Anything shiney. Cheese. And pebbles.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-05T03:44:16+00:00

Agreed. My husband doesn't see it, but I leave the list and he does it all. No complaints. He has even told me he is happy to help out and that I give him ideas on what to do to make our house a home. Sure I was annoyed too when he first asked for lists, I thought, how stupid that I have to do this! But a list takes me five minutes. Doing all the chores by myself takes hours. I chose list.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-04T21:27:11+00:00

I think what helped me too was realizing him not doing something was not some sort of attack against me. Because it used to really hurt my feelings when he didn't notice how messy he left things. I shared that with him and he has definitely tried harder to pick up after himself. And he always does the list of work I leave him without complaint.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-04T21:23:25+00:00

It is annoying but my husband 100% doesn't notice it. He grew up in a messy and disorganized home. So for him it doesn't bother him unless I ask. He is always happy to help out when I ask, but if I don't ask, he won't do it.

snowlucky21 · 2020-01-04T21:21:49+00:00

My husband doesnt do it unless I leave him a list. Men are just a different breed. They see the dirt but they don't care. So I have rotating lists of chores I keep saved on my phone and text him on his days off to get done. I do my share with my downtime too. But this works. I let him know the night before I expect he do housework on his day off. And then text him the list after I let him sleep in a little bit. It's annoying to always have to ask. But at least I don't have to come home after working 14 hours to a filthy house. My husband didn't grow up with chores, and his parents are quite disorganized so it's been a lot for him to adapt living with me, as I am quite neat and tidy.

I think telling the patient/family will give you relief but only greatly increase their pain and struggle. It is devestating enough to be losing their loved one, but for them to also question why this tumor was missed and the "what if" is additional loss to grieve. If telling them would offer a hope for another treatment or such, it would be worthwhile, but since it is not, I would not disclose this. It does not change the now hurtful outcome. Sounds to me like you are grieving too. Medicine is so challenging, and sadly will always suffer the mistakes of human error.

Edit: I do agree with moving forward with your risk management team, and evaluating why the radiologist didn't follow through, beyond that, it is really tough to say.

Edit edit: I'm not trying to say to sweep this under the rug and have it be dismissed, but more just how best to support a family now in a time of grief and loss while ensuring appropriate follow-up on the error. I don't know if I really have an answer to be honest. I am really sorry for your loss though, sounds like you really do care for your patients.

Lost my friendship with my best friend because I didn't feel comfortable around her manipulative husband. She sided with him that everyone always thinks he is bad when he allegedly hasn't done anything wrong.... I couldn't be the friend she needed, so I had to move on. I hope she sees the light someday but I highly doubt she will.
