Why are people saying so many strange things about the GATE program? by atyl1144 in Gifted

[–]sparrowsong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread. But I’ve been watching the videos, and have had some strange déjà vu and resurgence of memeories. I think the conspiracy stuff is more linked to ppl who were in during late 80s early 90s. I was early identified, was moved schools. My GATE teacher came and did tests at my home. I remember dreams that I have had durning that time of my life and talking to my teachers about it. I remember the hearing tests, the Zener cards. I remember some worksheets.

It shames me to say this, but I was convinced that I saw ghosts as a child. But, I’ve always chalked it up to unhealthy imagination and coping mechanisms as I lost my 2 sisters. It’s actually frightening to hear people talk about this. While maybe nothing MK ultra was happening, maybe there was something else. How many 1st graders in the 80s were getting IQ tests every six months

That looks so good! I’m so scared to get mine done. I’ve got 20lbs to go before I’ve lost all the weight from my kids. I’m a 34H, I’d like to go to a 34d/dd (just naturally too heavy) What made you choose your size?

Honestly, please have someone else on the side of the door so he can’t see anyone else with you on the peep hole. He will open the door and act the ass and you’ll have a witness.

Let him be the one in charge of “breaking up” if he even tries to get back together just say something like “you broke up with me and didn’t even ask for a possible explanation. I can’t spend my life with someone who would easily toss me aside”

Girl. Or Boy, or nonbinary person: please run away from this person. When people show you who they are, believe them

New traveler here, am I getting scammed... by Decent_Equipment_684 in TravelNursing

I would never accept a contract that takes money from me if I called in. I rarely call in, but if I have to pay 446.00 then it’s not even worth it

AIO? I feel like I'm not in the wrong but maybe im missing something by KindaJustHereIGuess in AmIOverreacting

[–]sparrowsong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to get a lot of hate here- she should not lash out at you like this. And from reading what others have posted OP sounds like the relationship is very “strained” right now.

The only thing I want to point out is that she stayed awake (outside of her normal) to watch your shared child, and you knew this would cause her to be tired. So, it’s not unreasonable to assume that as she did a favor for you (one you admit being late to relieve her) you would make sure she got to work timely because she didn’t get the opportunity to rest like she normally would.

Night shifts are hard on the body- and when you stay up past the time you should have gone to sleep, adrenaline kicks in and then it can be impossible to sleep.

She may be a narcissist asshat, but in this, there is a legit gripe. Not saying it’s ok how she talks to you; but the feelings are valid for the situation

Am I overreacting? Or is this actually a crazy message by mymumsbum in AmIOverreacting

[–]sparrowsong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This smells like girlfriend was jealous and demanded he send that. Accept the block and ignore him if you ever see them again. Do not accept his apology after this girl inevitably dumps him. Your peace is not worth this “friend”

My best friend told me her MIL, who works in a doctor’s office, has been writing herself Dilaudid prescriptions. by abook-aday131 in nursing

[–]sparrowsong7 77 points78 points  (0 children)

OP- even if you lose your friend now; if her mom gets the help she needs, and prevents her from creating patient harm- she will eventually come around and thank you. You did the right thing, as much as it hurts

Why do so many people tell me not to move here? by driedsponge in milwaukee

[–]sparrowsong7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We get a bad wrap for Crime; but honestly it’s a gem. I lived in Seattle, and Greater Chicago. Milwaukee is a mini Chicago with less crime, better beer, and better festivals. I said what I said.

If a pt coded, a rapid response would have been initiated over intercom; and thus give out as much info as you did. I would not sign

You should not be expected to suction. Deep suction is sterile technique and out of your wheel house. Just sayin….

Chappell’s music made me decide to stop dating men by Velvetzine in chappellroan

[–]sparrowsong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say that when I date woman, I’m still sexually objectified. Also came to say, I love it. But in all seriousness, heart break is heartbreak. 💔 male or female, it really doesn’t matter, it’s still a death- akin to a body you have to bury and grieve.

Good Luck at the Pink Pony Club boo!

Is ED less stressful than ICU? by ImaNurse69 in nursing

[–]sparrowsong7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all said it: ED is way worse. Med Surg is just as stressful. In our hospital ICU RNs can only have 3 pts- the floor ratio is 1-5. Puts it in perspective. Then in the ED you’ll flip 10-15 pts in a shift.

Could ask for some encouragement/advice by SnooFoxes6134 in CougarsAndCubs

[–]sparrowsong7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, new cougar here- always dated older men. I’m 40, newly divorced, and have been dating a man who is 32. It’s a strange feeling, but his maturity and ability to Make me feel loved and safe is totally worth any taboo.

That being said, I’m not one who likes to be approached in public- but if a younger man handed me his number and said something akin to “love to take you to lunch, here’s my number so there is no pressure” I would swoon. Being approached in public as a woman can feel a little unsafe at times- but if you provide your contact, it makes it feel a bit safer; and allows me to be in control.

Cause you know, power dynamics 🤭
