Because they screen out folks that would do better.

I put in ten years doing it, and that was enough. I had to get out before I burned out all the way.

It’s one of the many reason’s I don’t nurse anymore. Too many heartbreaking stories.

I think you are right. There should be some sort of de-escalation tactics. Hell, even a decent risk appraisal. Children and elderly women with slippers don’t need that much force to deal with.

I think he was more annoyed that literally all of us freaked out. He ignored all the facility staff, and didn’t actually pay attention much until the EMTs (men) started in on him. I doubt he’d care one way or the other. We were a facility whose patients were mostly made up of ex homeless psych inpatients that had…

This reminds me of when I was a nurse in a locked inpatient elderly psych facility. We had a policy that if a patient completely lost their shit we’d call and have them shipped over to the ER for assessment. Psychotic breaks in elderly psych patients can be because of things like urinary infections or other health…

Newest on top is an option in the settings under Mail. This was killing me until I found it.

That’s interesting. I hate those scanners with a passion now.

That would depend on the style and size of your shoes. My husbands size men’s 14's? No way. My size men’s 7's, sure. Formal shoes probably would take more room, but I’d stuffed my converse in the bottom on more than one occasion just fine.

Are you my neighbor?! I hate Seattle traffic so much.

I’ve never really had a good experience with a recruiter. I had one meet me at a donut shop, then look at me and tell me I wasn’t worth employing. I had others that would talk to me, waste my time with phone appointment after phone appointment. I got one job with a recruiter for Volt, but they opted me into some crap…

I never pulled my electronics out of the Command messenger bag. I just unzipped it, and laid it flat. I was never told to do it otherwise, and trust me, before I got in pre-check I got pulled out of line for searches every freaking time I went through. Not pulling my laptop out of the bag, was never an issue TSA had…

I have the grey Command messenger bag. I got it last year when my job sent me across country repeatedly. I had to get one of the larger ones because my job gave me a laptop that 1984 forgot that is huge and heavy.

I live in Seattle. Every problem I’ve ever had, has been dealt with expediently by going to the shop. I don’t know if that’s the difference.

It’s as rare as a rainbow farting unicorn.

1. Flexibility with a heavy side of teleworking. Making people drive through terrible big city traffic to do something they could do on their laptop at home sucks.

That is a great saying.

Okay, the most grossest doctor responses I got was when I was trying to trouble shoot my broken genitals. Turns out I have lichen sclerosis. It’s when there are white spots on your junk. I have lady junk, and started having what I thought were yeast infections, with lots of pain, and super fragile skin that would…

Me too. Every thing online is about Trump, so I came up short trying to figure out the angle on Trump for this story.

I think he’s gotten a little more philosophical on his gender lately.
