This Nurse Is Doing God's Work

This nurse is doing god's work

If there’s one thing I feel I can unambiguously brag about, it’s that I’m great with patients who are in pain crises. I’m tenacious and stubborn about lowering 10/10 pain to something more manageable. I got a patient in “25 out of 10” pain at start of shift down to a 4 by midnight and it only took opioids, Tylenol, muscle relaxants, ice packs, warm blankets, fresh coffee, repositioning, an abdominal binder I scrounged up, a phone call to the surgeon to get lidocaine patches ordered, and some serious chit chatting with the patient while we waited for all that to kick in. We didn’t end up needing IV medication, we didn’t have to increase opioids, we didn’t need to add any medication that would potentially delay discharge, and the majority of what I did is all stuff she can also do at home so it’s a sustainable pain management plan. This is my absolute favorite thing with nursing, I love love love managing pain, I know I talk about it a lot but it’s the most satisfying thing in the world. I love watching someone emerge from a horrendous haze of pain until they feel like a person again. Also I’m scheduling this to post well after my shift is done so that I don’t jinx anything, also while I was writing this post I had to take a quick break for two hours half way through because someone started having a seizure. My job is wild. I used to be a barista.

As a Readingite, I think I should inform everyone that the worst part about the new chic-fil-a opening in town is that the restaurant that was there beforehand was another “UK debut of an American restaurant chain” and it was a Vegan Fast-food place that promoted a “healthy alternative to fast food” and was only in business here for like, 6 months in the end

Proposed leitners

- warrior cats book that when you open it you are instantly mailed by 30 feral cats (one is very orange)

- the very hungry caterpillar (corruption)

- a book that looks like a dictionary but when you open it it’s completely blank except for one page in the middle that says “bitch”

- toaster manual that burns you alive as you read it

- magic treehouse book just filled with the phrase “jack adjusted his glasses”

- flip book where a shadowy figure gets slowly closer until you’re done and then you turn around and he’s behind you

- how to harvest bones for dummies

- 1984 except you just get really angry over George Orwell’s misogyny (actually not a Leitner just normal 1984)

- alternatively 1984 but you open it and the text is just from A brave new world and you’re filled with the all encompassing urge to stir and nothing else until you drop dead

- Photo album of Jonah Magnus (warning: very ugly)

- Les Mis Manga

- a book you open that has another smaller book inside it so you open that book and it has a smaller book inside it so you open that book and it has another smaller book inside it so you open that book and it has another sm

- book that every time you dog ear it… it dog ears YOU

- book that sucks you into it’s world but it’s not a fun adventure it’s some nonfiction about the Black Plague and you’re starting to feel very ill

- Dr. Seuss book Oh The Places You’ll Go except if you’re giving it to someone for graduation or another big change in their life it locks itself shut and begins to scream

- Garfield comic compilation but the pages? Made of Lasagna.

- pride and prejudice but without the pride and prejudice

I wanna hear these Opinions on steampunk color palettes, if you’re willing.

tbh “the Victorians did not go to the trouble of inventing aniline dyes so that we could wear neutrals” mostly covers it?

they went to a lot of effort to bring affordable screaming bright fuchsias and acid greens into the world, and we should honor their tacky, tacky choices.
