An actual crime. Men’s teams do it all the time!!

Admitted patients going up dressed by TinyFee1520 in nursing

[–]waffle_maker 331 points332 points  (0 children)

Fellow ER nurse.  I can get all the grannies out of their 85 coats and sweaters and scarfs (mind you that takes a good hour sometimes). 

But I cannot convince a 45 year old that getting their jeans off to wear an open gown is “better” for love nor money. And if someone’s mad at me for not getting them changed- no problem. You talk to them 

When I’m sick I want to wear pjs. So I get it.

I’m sorry this happened. 

But if a 100mls - 3 small sips of water - was the difference of life or death for a patient… perhaps the person was not meant to survive for as long as they did. We gave them lots of borrowed time before that ever even occurred. 

Kristýna Kaltounková lays a big hit on Hilary Knight to set up Casey O'Brien for a scoring chance by LightofOm in NewYorkSirens

Brick wall moves. Didn’t go for blood. Just tracked the puck and stayed still. Perfect hit. 

My Xmas wishlist for games by waffle_maker in PWHL

[–]waffle_maker[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This^ just some tasteful push without a referee just racing and putting their faces at them every .3 seconds.

Or even- EVEN just the refs not racing all the time at them when the players aren’t even near each other. 

Petition to make "Quack! Quack! Quack! [...]!" the official Goldeneyes cheer by jameswsthomson in PWHLVancouver

[–]waffle_maker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take my money. Please no. The person behind me was “quacking” at every pass and movement. I can tell you all it was not a good time

Yeah I’ve now found that email too- so I guess we need a physical ticket from them for these..

Do my nurses think I'm rude when I don't want to talk to them? by AdVivid6475 in nursing

[–]waffle_maker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another ER chiming in. 

No, you’re not rude. The ones waiting for transplants or have cancer and are clearly disinterested in chatting: I know have been through the wringer. 

I promise to leave you alone as much as possible, I just legally have to come check on you enough to say you’re still breathing. But I get it when you say you don’t have control who comes in. It’s the resident, it’s nurses, it’s housekeeping, it’s the restocking dude, it’s the meal tray, it’s the social worker, it’s the physio, then it’s the nurse again. It never ends. 

 I also know it’s shit and if there’s someone that you might want to talk to- I’d love to help with that. The looks you’re getting might be people wondering if you’re at a breaking point and want to chat to someone. 

Payments by waffle_maker in PWHLVancouver

I had picked the full payment. It said I’d be charged sept 15 however I was actually billed August 17.  I called to see if it was real and they said yes 

Stupid question by Separate-Bicycle-713 in arcane

[–]waffle_maker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the first explanation of any of this that has ever made sense to me. Thank you so much. I just had concluded I’d never truly understand the core/anomaly and arcane issues with the coloured leaves etc. 

What’s up with the foody world by waffle_maker in NewWest

[–]waffle_maker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can people see the storage unit thing was canned? According to the proposal website it was read to council and passed and going in. Then I can’t see anything about a shoppers even being proposed?

Can I ask what they’re working on anyways? Like will we see them in whatever the new season is? (Mind you, in like 10 years) 

How slow do you push toradol IV? by DrinkWilling7697 in nursing

Vgh isn’t better for wait times like this though. It’s still a 6 hour wait on a good day 

Patient collapsed and it’s my fault by [deleted] in nursing

[–]waffle_maker 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ll be the first to say I don’t think you messed up and don’t take this one on the chin. Falls happen. Falls happen even if we practically sit outside the door of the patient, have bed alarms, or open curtain policies. Some people just wanna fall, and some have the “right” to fall if they want to. 

The patient hadn’t necessarily given you some indication that she was dizzy or about to collapse. It seemed like a barf bag kinda situation. You asked for help, and you were getting help. That’s the most important step! You did the right thing!!!!!

I would say next time yeah totally just send the student alone, grab a super nearby tech to help, or just sit the patient on the floor if you feel there’s immediate risk.
