I think the other replier got it but I wouldn’t know where to find it to watch.

The worst part is that it’s not just that it’s a position of power, it’s that there’s also very little else about it that’s desirable. Your entire job is to show up places and tell people to stop doing things they want or feel that they need to be doing, and often that they’re willing to physically attack you for interfering with. The pay is also pretty mediocre overall. So if you want overall pleasant interpersonal interactions or a decent wage, you’d have to go elsewhere. If all you want is power over other human beings, that job will be a great fit for you.

and in the ways that’s it’s not customer service focused it’s so focused on flowsheets and tracking metrics that you have to constantly consciously remind yourself that the human in front of you isn’t just an object that you’re doing things to. It gets to a point that you’re wiping people’s genitals with the same efficiency as you’ll wipe down the bed when they’re done with it and some patients can tolerate that well enough but then every once in a while you get someone with sexual trauma. And that’s just one example.

I think so.

well clearly all used products must go to the landfill after the original purchaser is done with them, regardless of how much or little they were used since purchase.

ok but why is my husband this fucking funny:

entering the workforce as a young millennial I had a lot of older coworkers talk shit about the young kids wearing their unprofessionally fashionable jogger scrubs but they certainly don’t drag through spilled bodily fluids like flared ones do!

I remember watching a short film as a teenager where homosexuality was the norm and being straight / having reproductive sex outside of deliberate family planning was seen as sinful / socially irresponsible. A young hetero girl makes an attempt by exsanguiation. I don’t remember the name of it though.

and it’s for exactly this reason that arguing with a delusion strengthens it. If you show a person with Cotard delusions how to find their pulse they’ll come to the conclusion that dead bodies can still have a heartbeat and if you show a person with capgras delusions a DNA test now the doppelgangers can mimic DNA too. the new information just gets integrated in a way that supports the delusion. all you can do is try to distract them while the antipsychotics hit and try to keep them socially connected through unrelated stuff like hobbies, music, etc.

chatgpt aside this is a much more realistic way to look at it than left / right.

I hate it when patients come in having had that be their attempt. Like no you only thought you didn’t want to be alive. Now you know.

I’m am RN and I’m a DNR. I’m psych now but when I was in school I sat 1:1 with patients who for whatever reason couldn’t cooperate with care (suicide watch, dementia, delirium, etc). I think if you’re going to use your POA powers to force your family member to receive care they don’t want, you should have to stand at the foot of the bed and watch and listen while we do it.

JUST TALK TO YOUR LOVED ONES ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO DIE. It shouldn’t be this taboo, we literally all do it!

beat me to it

I’ve gotten callbacks within 12 hours for applications I didn’t even finish and submit. It’s hard work but there’ll never be too little of it.

…and that’s how I converted to Gnosticism.

as @[email protected] somebody told me they recognized my rant about applying hospital socks to someone with chf but I think I deleted it in my last round of privacy deletions

you. you get me.

but don’t spend the money. I forget how long they have to request it back. it’s called like unjust enrichment or something. basically accidentally paying someone too much is only a problem for poor people.
