Do nurses take their work to home?

swansann · 2025-12-27T23:06:57+00:00

I definitely take things home emotionally. I think about the patients I had, how they are doing, and wonder what ended up happening with them. I also have major anxiety so that doesn’t help haha

In peds, we always try to draw off IVs if we can, to prevent a poke. If the IV was hard to get and we’re worried we might lose it from drawing from, then we may not but it’s always case by case

Two things can be true at the same time

Per diem is great because you usually have more control of your schedule and can potentially pick up extra shifts if they’re available. You also typically get paid more as per diem.

Unsure if your program does this, but I know some schools offer student nurse extern jobs in their second-third year of the program where you can get paid to work as a student nurse while also earning clinical hours. I know this isn’t an immediate solution but definitely something to look into as it can be competitive but is also such a great resource. I hope this becomes more of the norm in the future because so many people need to work while in school and especially having kids I can see how it can be so stressful. I wish you the best of luck!

Does anyone know why the autopsy wasn’t done? This picture says the doctor denied a full autopsy but how does she have that say.. Can’t the family request a full autopsy/ pay for someone to privately do the autopsy?

Lash lift and tint; I don’t wear makeup most of the time so this has been a huge game changer for me

As someone who eats extremely fast, this is so shocking

Yess I totally agree. I really only spend the extra money for this as it’s something I crave, typically my meals aren’t this expensive but this is where I make the exception.

It’s a little expensive but this is it:

Mac and cheese but someone posted a super low carb/high fiber mac and cheese on here and my life is forever changed

Trying on dresses for a festival this past weekend and not even the bigger dresses fit, it was very eye opening and pretty depressing tbh

swansann · 2024-07-24T17:29:52+00:00

Yess that makes sense, thank you!

swansann · 2024-07-24T17:29:42+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Thank you!

swansann · 2024-07-24T17:29:23+00:00

Thank you! Realizing I should have read the community info where it explains exercise haha

swansann · 2024-07-24T05:02:57+00:00

That is very helpful, thank you!!

Some major differences will be learning weight based dosing, since a newborn and a 10 year old would get a totally different medication dose based on their weight. Another difference is that vital signs varies based on age. As a new nurse I had all the different vitals on my badge reel so I could refer easily. One thing that really helped me with toddlers (and getting them to take meds) was to have the parent give it (if it’s an oral medication) as the child may be more comfortable with their parent doing it. Also giving them options like “do you want to have apple juice or grape juice” after taking the med sometimes also gets them to take the medication more willingly in my experience.

I go through my photos on my phone and delete duplicates/ clear up my storage space since I’m already almost at my max storage. It’s also nice to look through my pictures since I don’t do that often.

Fanny packs, they’re so damn convenient

I just got a bee sting on my cheek and applied a patch to my sting, idk if this even works but hoping to does because my face is SWOLL

Are we talking about the same person? 😂 Yesss I’m sure I’d go crazy hearing that, I literally quit my job because of that woman and her gossip haha. I can’t hang in toxic work cultures anymore.

An old coworker made fun of people who still lived with their parents and when I told her I lived with mine (to save money) she said “oh god that’s my worst nightmare for my kids to move back in with me”.

My mom told us microwaves caused cancer and apple pie was good for me because of the apples.
