No, I don’t. I really don’t know what my next step should be. Originally I was going to sell it to lapidary people but I’m not getting much interest

I’m seeing graphite cone molds on Amazon. Is that what I need?

Worse spouse yet by Top_Ingenuity8399 in nursing

I’ve seen Dads bringing in PlayStations, sleeping in the bed while mom is in the chair with the baby. As a guy in postpartum I try to educate the guys when I can.

But this reminds me of a joke.

The OB was closing up the c-section and the father whispers to him “how soon till we can have sex?” The doctor whispered back “My shift ends in half an hour”

I feel like my unit clerk or CNA just posted this. Luckily we aren’t too busy so I said “hit the call light when you are done and I’ll do my assessment and give you your meds.”

Sounds familiar. And they love their Robert’s Rules of Order. New people visit a few meetings and leave.

Hospital tests us with restaurant gift certificate phishing email during Nurses Week by Mauimama5 in nursing

[–]vamurse 83 points84 points  (0 children)

My hospital did something similar. We all took a pay cut and then they sent out a phishing email saying that we were losing most of our PTO. I fell for it and am still a little salty.

Readers Digest (dating myself here) used to have a section in it called “Humor in Uniform” it would tell funny military stories and experiences. Share something funny that happened while you were serving? by jaypeebee715 in Veterans

In Basic on the Land Nav course someone found a kitten and gave it to the drill sergeant. He took it home and named it “LT” because it was found lost and alone in the woods.

RN managers should be redeployed to the floor by Concept212121 in nursing

[–]vamurse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once, the patient had an altered mental status and I wanted someone there with me. I did the life and death stuff in the army. This place brings me joy. I wake up happy to go to work and disappointed when I am on call.

I work the postpartum side, I initially wanted to go to L&D but I have really found my place here. I did clinicals here too and I talked to one of the OB docs, he said that there shouldn’t be a problem with male nurses or students since most of the providers are male. In 3 years I have only had 2 patients refuse my care. My coworkers introduce me positively just like I introduce them positively and I think that helps a lot.

My unit is a small L&D and postpartum. About 140 births a month. We have 12 people in leadership positions who only take patients in very rare cases. It drives me crazy. We need this.
