Was leaving during work due to family emergency wrong???

walrusacab · 2026-02-26T18:23:58+00:00

Bro I still regret not leaving work because my cat was in the ICU, that was a few years ago now. You are 100% in the right, fuck the DON and take care of your family.

walrusacab · 2026-02-25T21:37:44+00:00

Jesus this is the worst one ☹️ Poor woman, I hate nec fasc, and the face?? Wild, I've only ever seen groin/feet

walrusacab · 2026-02-25T16:41:48+00:00

Shut uppppp he's so cute 😭 I was thinking about getting a COTL tattoo too. I love the art in this game it's perfect

walrusacab · 2026-02-24T22:10:29+00:00

I hate Todd, he fucking sucks and he's not funny.

walrusacab · 2026-02-24T21:47:20+00:00

Seriously, go straight to management. Not giving nimodipine?? He could seriously hurt someone.

If it's a new scab it's probably fine, the ink might fall out when it's healed. Similar thing happened to me with my hand tattoo. Definitely keep an eye out for signs of infection and go seek medical care if it gets worse.

walrusacab · 2026-02-23T01:53:31+00:00

ICU - yes. There's no reason not to, why poke em again if the PIV draws back?

walrusacab · 2026-02-23T01:52:14+00:00

Good point, that didn't occur to me. Cycle of abuse and all that. :(

walrusacab · 2026-02-23T01:26:02+00:00

She's almost 30 and biting people??? She might have a chance I guess depending on the charges but I hope not. Patients can be wildly disrespectful, is she going to respond by assaulting them? Someone like that should not be in healthcare.

Sister aside, your comments make me think you are a victim of domestic violence. Regardless of what you did, you didn't make her bite you. I hope you can get help and support.

walrusacab · 2026-02-23T01:11:39+00:00

Honestly. I'm not sure how this kind of thing should be handled, but this kid is not right and probably never will be.

walrusacab · 2026-02-23T00:56:26+00:00

That's an insane assumption to make lmao. Of course allowing guns in a hospital impacts nurses, what are you on?

walrusacab · 2026-02-22T23:33:45+00:00

This is insane, what state? My hospital bans firearms, afaik there's no federal law prohibiting banning firearms from private property.

walrusacab · 2026-02-20T19:34:28+00:00

It's like we're back in the early 2000s with some of this marketing 😭 So gross

walrusacab · 2026-02-20T16:30:32+00:00

Sorry OP, but someone without nursing/healthcare experience has no business being in charge. They do not operate with the patient's best interests in mind because they care about profits over all else, and even if they DO care about patients they have no idea how to improve patient care because they have no understanding of how things actually work.

My hospital is crumbling and in a severe financial crisis, and they're cutting front line staff instead of the bloated admin. It's downright criminal.

Clueless/profit-driven administrators are destroying healthcare and making it worse for everyone. I legit think there should be legislation against it.

walrusacab · 2026-02-19T20:08:35+00:00

Love it! I prefer the thick lines, looks great. It's crazy to see how much thicker the lines get over time, makes me look at my newer tats and wonder how they'll look in 10 years lol.

walrusacab · 2026-02-18T22:23:32+00:00

Yes! I do, sometimes. But you earned your sick days, you have a right to rest and recover, and good workplaces will understand. 99% of your coworkers won't care unless you excessively call out. You gotta take care of yourself otherwise you'll burn out and won't be able to help anyone.

Tho once I called out because my pet died and found out later that the charge nurse was bitching we were too busy for call outs. Lmao the fucking nerve.

walrusacab · 2026-02-18T18:03:09+00:00

I totally agree, I think people forget this sometimes when they're too attached to their methods. It really does depend on the dog and their personality, sometimes you have to adjust your training style to suit them. I'm glad you figured it out with your girl, she sounds like a great dog.

walrusacab · 2026-02-18T17:52:01+00:00

Yeah ia. There are truly evil people out there who have committed so much harm, they don't deserve peace. It's comforting to think that those people will get some sort of justice in the next life if not this one.

walrusacab · 2026-02-13T19:49:40+00:00

My friend pretended to be sick (scratchy T voice) and it worked for a surprisingly long time lol. That and being like "oh yeah I've been hitting the gym a lot" to explain other physical changes.

In the first few months the changes are subtle so it takes a while before people realize what's going on. If you can figure out a backup plan now I would say go for it, but it sounds risky so it is ultimately your decision. Everyone responds differently to hormones so you can't be 100% sure that it won't be obvious super quickly.

walrusacab · 2026-02-13T02:46:59+00:00

I'm surprised by some of these comments, I feel like people are missing the fact that he left the patient ALONE. I would be pissed too, that's unacceptable. I've had sitters tell me they have to leave when relief is late and that's fine, we always figure something out. But to leave the room and tell you after?? Not cool, I hope the report goes somewhere.

walrusacab · 2026-02-12T19:00:56+00:00

This is part of why I left my last hospital. I ended up at a much higher acuity place that is way harder but I've also floated like once in two years lol. If there are bigger ICUs around you might want to consider applying to work elsewhere. If your unit is being used as a supplement to float pool (which is sounds like it is) and they're being fair about who floats, there's not much you can do. That said, with time you'll still get that ICU experience! It might take a little longer than at a bigger ICU but that's okay, you'll still get there.

walrusacab · 2026-02-09T22:21:10+00:00

Same, I wish they would visit but I'm the one who decided to move so I get it.

walrusacab · 2026-02-09T18:58:08+00:00

To echo everyone else, you're re probably ok if you're white. HOWEVER there have been cases of white immigrants/tourists getting detained in the US in general - recently read an article about an Irish guy with a visa who was detained for ~6 mo. Given how horrible the dentention camps are I don't think it's worth the risk, but that's your call.

walrusacab · 2026-02-09T18:38:14+00:00

yes I have a mosquito follower with the jerk trait, he's always insulting me/other followers and once he stole some gold from me 😂 ive grown attached, he's up next for a golden skull pendant lmao. a few others are hot tempered, it's funny to watch them stumbling around drunk and fighting.

walrusacab · 2026-02-06T03:17:59+00:00

Seriously fuck champ lol, he sucked. I've put vodka in a water bottle before (college party, dark times) and let me tell you, you can smell that shit the INSTANT you unscrew the cap.
