    Has the staffing clerk ever made you feel guilty of calling in "sick"?

    Orion81RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    People get too caught up in wording. Yes, OP was treated poorly. Gaslighting stagnates growth, and you’re oversimplifying things with your statement. It’s entirely unhelpful. Yes, OP. You were...

    I've been working a lot, and my mother is upset?

    Orion81RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Surviving Narcissism and DrRamani are both really good Youtube channels that are great educational sources for family roles and what you are experiencing. Your mom cares that you are not there bc to...

    Orion81RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Until you have experienced narcissistic abuse, you will never know what people go through. This is a narcissistic family system and OP is at home by design from the mom. It is part of the abuse, and...

    The Wage Gap Myth

    Orion81RN replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Conditioned doesn’t equal innate. And WHO were we conditioned by? Almost as if the system was based on misogyny and we live in a patriarchy.

    The Wage Gap Myth

    Orion81RN replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    So take it a step further and ask why that would be. Is there something innate in men that make them more likely to ask for higher pay that women simply don’t have?

    Patient going to complain against me?

    Orion81RN replied to Bella345's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with me putting myself in the pt’s shoes and advocating for that pt. It is 100% ridiculous to prioritize your feelings over narcotics and addiction over what the pt is...

    Patient going to complain against me?

    Orion81RN replied to Bella345's topic in General Nursing

    Dilauded is, in fact, the ONLY thing that worked for my 10/10 kidney stone pain. Morphine is laughable. I think it's awful that your "radar" goes up bc a kidney stone pt KNOWS what works for them and...

    Your ADHD doesn’t make you “not smart.” It’s a neurotype, not a learning disability. There are plenty of symptoms that make it challenging, but smarts isn’t one of them. Especially being...

    Orion81RN replied to Words Matter's topic in Addictions

    4mg Xanax 13 years. Yes, using the Ashton Method personalized to my symptoms. Finally finally finally found a doctor willing to help. I can’t even begin to describe the harm “experts” do to...

    Brief scale for benzodiazepine detox?

    Orion81RN replied to Words Matter's topic in Addictions

    1 month is not a slow taper. I’m in month 16 of tapering. Finally down to 6mg Valium a day, and the withdrawal still sucks. The depression and not being able to experience joy at all is awful. Benzo...

    The Wage Gap Myth

    Orion81RN replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why should we put any more weight to your lived experience than anyone else here? Especially a woman’s? Woman: This is my reality Man: No, that’s not your reality because this is my...

    Unfair Grading

    Orion81RN replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    We very well might. You have no idea and are attributing a trait to maturity when it could be something

    Unfair Grading

    Orion81RN replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    I also learned a little about autism, and “it’s not fair” isn’t just a maturity

    Orion81RN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Poor kid. So young to have such a rough condition. I’m 39 and have dealt with the pain since I was in my mid 20’s. Therapy for chronic pain is definitely needed. My experience was developing the...

    Orion81RN replied to McStudMuffin's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to hear you have found something that is better for your mental health. If you're not ready to completely let go, have you ever considered picking up whenever you want in private duty? With your...

    Failed part of skills checkoff

    Orion81RN replied to AmandaBeaverhausen's topic in General Students

    When practicing in lab maybe find someone to do the skill in front of a few times to practice with performance anxiety. I don’t recommend it be an instructor, unless there is one you trust. I failed...

    Unfair Grading

    Orion81RN replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    Do you typically have a strong sense of fairness and justice throughout all aspects of your life? Can you think of other times you have encountered treatment you feel is unfair? If so, what have you...

    Why some nurses use the word "endorsement"?

    Orion81RN replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Like with checks, you sign over responsibility for the care of patients. I don’t know where it started being used that way in nursing. I just read in an old AN thread one person say they learned it...

    Shaming is literally what leads to narcissism. It’s emotional trauma and your are now pushing your trauma onto us. You were so severely shamed you don’t even realize that people deserve to be...
