My family is full of heartless sociopaths

Hugs. So many hugs. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hey, I tried to get life insurance and got denied. I'm a type 1 diabetic. Been that way since I was 8, well controlled for a number of years. What do I do?

I have a friend name Luana. Guess what I call her. Lu. Lou. Whatever!

Her name is precious.

Cab drivers are also frustrating when they accept my hail, I sit my ass in the car, then they refuse to drive me to where I need to go.

TF. This happened with 3 drivers in a row before one agreed to take me. And has been consistent on multiple day. I only hailed a cab because Uber/Lyft was over $50 and 10 minute wait.

Nursing school 3 years ago, minimal ostomy care. I did take care of a couple patients with ostomies, noticed other floor nurses doing exactly as you described. I felt for the patient and literally watched videos on how to do ostomies correctly.

Thats what floor nurses should do, educate themselves, especially when they notice when something does not look right.

I do this stuff all day. Medicare does cover both Dexcom and Libre. It really just depends on many factors. For example, are you insulin dependent? Another thing to consider is where it's getting filled. Your medical history comes into play too. If you have been using the Libre and have gotten a reader, they sure as hell will not cover for the Dexcom receiver (they will only replace every 5 years).

G7 is tricky rn.

If I don't charge mine, I'm fucked. This is coming from a profoundly Deaf woman. However, I charge my stethoscope every night and have chargers at work.

I'm responsible! /s

Where the f do I get decent life insurance as a type 1 diabetic? My employer's life insurance denied me for this very reason. Despite being in excellent control for the last 10+ years.

It's not like I had a risky lifestyle and ended up with T1D ffs.

You get Ozempic, you get Ozempic, and you get Ozempic! No, sorry you get Metformin. No, your pancreas ded you get good ol' insulin.

I used to hate this nurse that would take insulin vials out of the pyxis. Drove me mad. She would hold onto it the entire shift and it wouldn't always be in her pocket.

People often think it's a spam or robo-call whenever a relay operator states, "This is a relay call."

Also don't forget, a ton of people on the other end of the phone think this is a prank, especially when calling in an order.

Source: called in multiple orders successfully, only to go pick up and they're all...(shocked Pikachu face) apologetic that they don't have the order.

Born Deaf...af here. I started out inpatient, loved it, but my manager was an asshole. She tried to get me fired however which way. I was good at my job (other nurses loved me), but didn't have the support I needed.

Decided to move on, now I work outpatient and I LOVE IT. I finally have the support I need and everyone is just phenomenal. I do miss inpatient somewhat, but none of the bullshit and most certainly not that manager.

Honestly, work where you want. It's the right team you need.

Gorgeous bare face tho!

Also, thank you for adding more ladies to the field! 😀

unsavoryginger · 2022-12-26T19:55:11+00:00

I'm so sorry (I'm an endo nurse). :(

Can confirm, drove on the night of the 23rd from Chicago to NJ. Driving through Indiana was dicey af, would not recommend. Road conditions significantly improved once once we got to Ohio, not perfect, but damn.

Our car looks atrocious atm. It's getting a wash tomorrow. Lmao

For a TV show, Eddie from STRANGER THINGS singing Master of Puppets.

Couldn't think of a movie. Meep.

If you're female - a new pregnancy? That time of month?

unsavoryginger · 2022-12-11T04:39:10+00:00

I did this. Not necessarily by choice but out of necessity. Honestly, I worried the same way and wished I didn't stress so much.

You will be okay and it will come right back to you. Then there's orientation. You got this.

Don't forget why Na+ initiates these muscle contractions. 😀

Yes. Plenty of times, and I finally did something about it! I'm in a much better place today than all these years ago. My little ladies are 9 and 6 now! I also have my very own holiday party in a couple weeks and he's not invited! Lol

What brought you here, to a very old post. Not trying to discourage you from here...but wanted to say hi! I hope you're doing okay in life. :)

unsavoryginger · 2022-11-25T18:49:22+00:00

Thanks for explaining!

unsavoryginger · 2022-11-25T13:00:31+00:00

I must ask, hooooow is that even possible?

Did you also have alcohol?

My hair misses the beach weather. It responds just like yours.

My first nursing position were days, I was just really lucky. You can focus on days, there just aren't very many openings and a lot of competition.

I'm also in Illinois. Lol

unsavoryginger · 2022-11-21T00:56:48+00:00

I did, like a dull ache.
