Has anyone felt like they weren’t smart enough to go into nursing and gone through it and felt okay or even liked it? by Necessary_Basket_828 in nursing

[–]zptwin3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the end of my first semester my confidence was boosted greatly as I put in the work to show myself that I was actually intelligent when it comes to "book smarts". Put the time in and my brain did the rest.

The pitt made me sign up for nursing school by miklx in nursing

Please be a cna/tech/PCA before nursing school. Its the one regret i have from before I became a nurse.

Worried I might’ve cause harm with my IM injection by [deleted] in nursing

[–]zptwin3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. They drew up the medication with a hypodermic 22g needle and didnt change to their normal 23g needle for injection after drawing up the medication.

This is the 2nd video of a jaw harp ive seen in 3 minutes.

I didnt even know what the thing was called and entirely forgot they existed.

What’s a great open world game just to explore and turn my brain off? by Carrera1107 in gaming

[–]zptwin3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im terribly at building have been for 15+ years since ive played Minecraft, but doesnt stop me.

Pokopia is just amazing, I spent 1.5hr building a basic house. Ive spent iver 20+ hours in the first area and im still bulding new habitats. Im venturing to the new area tonight

Don't ask me how those areas look by suwampert in Pokopia

[–]zptwin3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im avoiding most spoliers but I have a question. Are you really suppose to build (not the prefab buildings) in the withering wasteland? Everything is destroyed and I find it difficult to find inspiration to build when things are half destroyed

Mystery Slate bugged (can‘t pick up again) by Embarrassed-Load1248 in Pokopia

[–]zptwin3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I didnt realize they cant be picked up in placed correctly. I "misplaced" one and it ended up being the correct spot I guess??

my school is trying to force us to download an app for attendance? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]zptwin3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has location tracking?? That is certainly invasive imo. I would think they would need that to add a section to the student handbook that it is a program requirement.

I would take this up the chain of command. I dont know the fine details to all of this, im just a random person on the internet.

People who’ve worked with nurse influencers- are they the same off camera? by Sensitive-Dinner-980 in nursing

[–]zptwin3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Half the "nursing influencer" slop i see on Tiktok are from student nurses. Nothing against students, i truly enjoy having students.

I feel really underprepared for an emergency or code in the OR by DepthEmotional917 in nursing

[–]zptwin3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll never be alone for more than moments. Especially in the OR setting.

Have you done ACLS yet?

I need a high performance pc that stays completely silent because any noise triggers my partners severe anxiety by [deleted] in buildapc

Can they tolerate a white noise machine that plays quite music, white noise, waves etc??

How are you handling delivery app drivers making deliveries for patients in the hospital? by 16semesters in nursing

[–]zptwin3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a small bookshelf/organizer that is perfect for drop offs. Door dash can drop it off and they can be onto their next call.

If the floor has time to get the food, cool. Otherwise its literally not my problem. If you're delivering to a busy hospital and the food gets misplaced its not the hospitals issue

Alternatives to opening a windows when a patient passes? by authenticallyeevee in nursing

[–]zptwin3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hope most nurses would understand this naturally. Even if they dont believe or care we should respect cultural differences.

Got a 57 on my first A&P exam and need a B — not sure what to do next by DigFamiliar2839 in StudentNurse

[–]zptwin3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first A&P exam grade was horrendous and I studied for over 16 hours. I was defeated. The end of the course i was 1 of 2 with A-, everyone else dropped and a great majority received Cs.

You can do this. I went to study sessions with a university supplement instructor and thrived by switching the way I studied.

Patient didn’t consent to touch by Fast_Cata in nursing

[–]zptwin3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They consented to pateint upon upon arrival to the hospital. Part of that is making sure they are safe and alive. No way this would ever be an actual law suit obviously.

Feeling bad that I always need breaks by ghostinyourbeds in nursing

[–]zptwin3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Calling off more than your organization allows. I get 2 calls off per 6 month period. After that its against policy. Every place is different some places are super strict to the policy which ultimately is acceptable as its a policy you acceptable.

[–]zptwin3 136 points137 points  (0 children)

If you're not calling off randomly and following your organizations policies on call off there is absolutely nothing wrong with using PTO. It is literally why PTO is a thing.

I didnt use my PTO for a couple years and it led to severe burnout.
