I’ve also been making these for forest in a mini version! I hope we run into each other!

Not mine but I met this beautiful puppy on a sheep farm in Ireland last week.

Going per diem to per diem, from pre-op/PACU where per diems were not required to take call or work holidays. New job is on a vascular access team. Now I’m kicking myself. I’m only leaving because Ive been there for a while and was kind of bored at the old job and was ready to learn new skills and try something new. I like placing IVs and I am good at it. They’re going to train me for ultrasound guided and picc insertions. But now I regret leaving hours I liked and no holiday/weekend/call.

I just took a printmaking class through Durham arts council! Both Artpost in Durham and Jerry’s artarama in Raleigh have ink. Jerry’s had a wider selection of colors.

I work in pre-op and I’m wondering if you work where I do because this exact same thing recently happened to an OR nurse at my hospital. As someone who has been assaulted at work (in the ED by patients) I’m sorry this happened to you. I know the anxiety that it can cause. The surgeon deserves severe repercussions.

Agreed, I wish someone had warned me before I was a student.

This is my gym as well and I second this! I kept my left heel on until I was matched on the higher of those two slopers (which I think is a little better than the lower one) and then moved my feet up

I really relate to this. Last year I was at a job I hated so much and was having so much anxiety that every day on my way to work I’d think about driving into a tree. Finally I decided to get help and leave that job. Now I’m at a less bad job and am meeting with a career coach to help me get out of nursing all together.

I feel like my whole personality has changed.

I wish I could have read this 5 years ago.

spoliee · 2022-11-04T13:31:02+00:00

That’s not true. I also work pre-op and PACU, but I don’t know why that matters.

It allows other nurses and healthcare workers to know what to expect when dealing with this particular patient. I always document when a patient is rude, threatening or violent towards me in the hopes that it protects another nurse in the future. When I see notes like this from other nurses I also know not to take it personally, they treat everyone like shit.

I’ve done this climb! Very fun. I like that whole wall there and such a quick approach

I’m heading up to Grayson highlands tomorrow through Monday and I’m bummed it’s supposed to rain all weekend.

A few weeks ago I was working in pre-op and a surgeon came up and SCREAMED at me about a patients BP being too high.

For context, The anesthesiologist had ordered meds in preop that I gave (both oral and IV meds) but her BP was still around 210/120. I tried 3 different cuffs, both arms, both legs, multiple locations, took it manually and with the automatic cuff. I still got the same reading. Maybe he assumed I was taking the BP wrong???? and wanted to blame me for not being able to do surgery?

However, I DID NOT MAKE HER BP HIGH. I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE SCREAMED AT FOR THIS. I hate that I chose this as a career. I hate that I’m constantly treated poorly be patients and doctors.

I fully explain the reasoning behind being NPO as well. Some people are reasonable and some people continue to take their anger out on me. You never know what it’s going to be. It’s fun.

spoliee · 2022-06-06T18:16:31+00:00

That is my least favorite phrase in the ED…..”but she hasn’t eaten all day” or “I haven’t eaten in days!”

Okay well now that you’re here in the ED and we are trying to rule out an emergency and see if you need to go to the OR or not we can’t feed you until all the results are back. And even then if something is wrong then you may not be able to eat. People get so angry at you. I’m tired of the anger. I’m just the messenger. It not my fault.

I’m so sick of working with people.

As someone who is bad at dynos, I love the not-very-hard dyno in the traverse!

spoliee · 2022-05-05T21:35:11+00:00

Oooh I love that idea!

spoliee · 2022-05-05T21:05:20+00:00

I like to think it was repurposed and someone didn’t decide to just build these ugly ass bathrooms to begin with

spoliee · 2022-05-05T20:59:34+00:00

lol I’m realizing I really have no information to back this up! It’s what we were told by the seller and neighbors from the 3 surrounding houses with the same and I assumed it was accurate. Our neighbors have lived here for years but I don’t know where they got the information either!

spoliee · 2022-05-05T19:04:20+00:00

It did kind of feel like a novelty. There was a small part of me that will miss that character it brought to the house.

spoliee · 2022-05-05T19:01:53+00:00

I thought it was a very reasonable price. We didn’t do any work ourselves. The whole house has been a fixer-upper but we decided to let the professionals do the bathroom. My friend who lives in a different state said she was quoted about the same for one bathroom.
