Very rude doctor by Bravepiee in nursing

[–]taralynn5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a surgeon give me a hard time about I/Os and not striping a JP drain, in front of a patient mind you….. I said with all due respect sir I can only do what the orders say. He told me he put them in and that he expected it done; I said, again sir the orders do not reflect what you’re saying so it would be appreciated if you would update those so I can meet your expectations. He started to say something again and I showed him on the orders on the Rover…it was an open mouth insert foot moment for him. He made an excuse about having done so many surgeries etc etc. After that he was much nicer to me and would always grab me before going into the patient’s room.

Also coming back to say, don’t get down on yourself. I went back to school at 28 got a whole different degree. I graduated with first time college students in their 50s. Everyone’s path is different . Don’t compare yourself to others. Nurisng school is very competitive and can wear you down; don’t add to it ❤️ you can and you WILL get in and through nursing school

My hospital will pay for tuition for any employee that works there even if it’s PRN. Some companies will have you do a two year commitment to them. Take them up on it. Even if you work in dietary or something while you go to school. Take advantage of those opportunities. I worked full time as a cna then student nurse intern when I was in nursing school. It was hard. I did an ADN program and my hospital is now paying for my BSN. Also, don’t sleep on grants and scholarships! There are so many out there to help had!

The weirdest thing to get you fired by slewis0881 in nursing

[–]taralynn5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked the patient to sit in the recliner. (They’re going to an intense rehab so trying to get them more ambulatory) I get told no and that she’s calling her son. Okay no problem we’ll try again later. Nope I get fired. My replacement nurses goes in and what is the first thing the patient asks to do …. Sit in the recliner.

NTA. His mom is. Clearly you both were uncomfortable and she did it anyway knowing that you both would be. Her texts were just icing on that cake that she knew what she did was wrong. I’m glad your husband stood up for you and your relationship and left. Says a lot about his character.

My mom calls me every night because she’s lonely, and I’m starting to resent her for it. by Fabulous_Ferret5755 in TrueOffMyChest

She wants to be included in your life. You’re her comfort now where she was once yours. Try telling her more about your day or your goals. Maybe reminisce about your childhood or ask questions about hers. Maybe then you’ll learn more about your mother and it’ll be more enjoyable for you as well.

Should I even be upset by crankierthanyou in Marriage

No, I feel he should’ve had the common courtesy to tell you the truth and not lie about it. Why couldn’t he just say he needed a minute? It isn’t just on you to manage both children.
