This week, I learned.... (7/25)

This week, I have learned....

1. Meth is a hell of a drug.

2. When meth is combined with cocaine and booze, it can destroy a 28 year old heart.

3. When you have one random patient across the unit from your other patients, and that patient is the only patient without psych issues, that poor patient is unfortunately going to be a bit neglected.

4. A discharge with EMS transport, ICU transfer and admission happening simultaneously (literally all less than 5 minutes apart from one another) 2 hours before you're supposed to be giving report means you'll be giving report before your last round of (very late) meds will be given.

5. Never been happier for vacation time. (Today is day 4/15.)

6. All play and no work makes ixchel a very happy girl. :)

That's all I got this week! Not much to learn when all I've been doing is playing! :)

What have you learned this week?

I got my first warning from AN. Apparently you can't have a sense of humor here, or at least not my kind.

Yes, but what did you LEARN?

I did too, as well I should have, I hate to say.

What I learned is that AN is not going to set up a "Swear Jar" for Far.

This week I learned.

1. Money isn't everything.

2. My license is more important to me than establishing that first "year" of experience. I'd rather quit than sign off on stuff I didn't do.

3. Just because someone has ADON or DON next to their name doesn't make them very bright or very ethical.

4. I think I figured out what ronchi actually sound like, but didn't have another nurse to ask to be sure.

5. Don't trust other nurses to tell you the right information. Unfortunately this means everything you may have to look up for yourself.

I guess I have to think twice from now on & even though it got likes doesn't mean it's ok. :p

I also have to add it was in reply to someone, I didn't use foul language or get in an argument with anyone. I know, I know; not like me. Haha!

I just learned you can get warnings on AN. How many warnings can you get? I'm sure I agreed to it in the terms of service but...

When I got mine I learned to keep my mouth shut when an obvious troll posted something extremely odious and let the mods handle it.

I stayed low for a few days to get my chakras aligned and get my funny back. But I feel MUCH better now! 😘😇

See that's the thing, I've gotten into it with some people & never gotten a warning. I didn't get into a fight with this person. It was just a comment, a silly one at that.

I also learned that no matter how many times I see it, I still cry when Dobby and Snapes die.

Specializes in critical care.

I just learned there is a candy store with the most amazing retro and offensive products. I don't want any warnings, so I won't post pictures. lol

Maybe post the retro candies? Like Pop Rocks?

I puffy heart Snapes.

I cried harder in the books, though.:blink:
