Nah not typically. She gets grossed out by everything

Why would anyone who fights death away from dying patients be ashamed of farting?

Well I just threw a stone at you

Yeah like those people who go on nursing websites to troll nurses

And then they fart and feel 1000 times better

It's not that the patient is wrong, sometimes patients seem to think that their sprained ankle is the only thing in the universe and have no common sense to say hey maybe there might be someone dying two beds down

I don't actually hate being asked that. Just like being snarky. Of course I don't just leave them at that

It wasn't me but I was in the room when one of my coworkers was calling patients to schedule colonoscopies. He called this dude and the mans wife answered and explained that he was unable to get to the phone my buddy asked when a good time to call back would be and she said probably a week ago before he died... I don't think in my life I have ever seen someone turn so red so fast

"Will this hurt?" I always just say no it won't hurt me at all

As weird as this might seem make sure you're getting enough vitamin d. I never knew it was a real issue until I had more or less the same things going on

I haven't really worked long enough to experience it either but I have found that on days when I feel most drained I really enjoy watching or listening stand up the more offensive it is the better. Something about being able to vent off that way seems to be balancing

I play video games Lift weights (the heavier the better) Watch Louis ck (he's always more miserable than I am) I take the long way home from work Cook Or sometimes just go home and lay on the floor and close my eyes

I'm sure this is on here somewhere I'm just not completely sure where. For anyone who is married or has similar experience, how do you handle coming home after a "bad" or stressful day? I've noticed that I tend to not talk as much on my bad days when I come home mostly because I know my wife won't understand and I don't want her to feel like I'm trying to overshadow her "bad" days. Also there i have a very real fear that she will belittle it I just don't really know how to go about being able to explain those kids of days to her

I mean I understand what you're saying and by no means am I trying to generalize it I just was more so curious as to the mentality behind it.

I have a question regarding the amount of negative that I perceive within the nursing community. I am currently a tech so obviously I do not have the full taste for it exactly but given my job location in the military our nurses more so handle admin type work and LPNs and techs do a lot of the hands on work. My question is simple, is it simply having the wrong expectations about nursing that makes some nurses so angry about their jobs? I mean granted I can understand feeling under appreciated and feeling like you don't get paid enough to deal with some patients **** and the incessant poor communication from MDs and down the chain but overall I have to say that I really do not understand the poor attitudes. It's the job you signed up for and gave your sweat blood and tears for and I get scoffed whenever I transport a patient to a different unit. I know some patients are a pain but no one truly enjoys having to be in a hospital. I worked corrections as my previous job and I can honestly say that the inmates and people who came in and out really hated us so I don't know if maybe that life experience is what causes me to not understand or if it's a burn out thing maybe? I was just wondering if someone could shed some light on it? Second part of my question, why is it that more experienced nurses have such ******** attitudes toward new people? It's something that I have never understood it's your job to provide patient care and train the new nurse or tech or cna shadowing you I don't understand the attitude? I think it's unnecessary and disrespectful and the excuse "because that's how it was for me" is dumb.
