Hey friend. Been playing on my mander account for the last week without any issues. Hope you are able to find out the cause of your disconnects. Good luck.

Have used Voyager consistently with lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts without any disconnects. Will play on this account for a while and let you know.

Nurse here. Yep it took about 2 years until it all clicked, but always learning. What’s your unit? It sounds like your coworkers are also burned out if they are bullying you. Do you have a nurse educator? Maybe they could guide you on things you are unsure about or need more practice with. Is there a way you can transfer to another unit that may be a better fit? If you are not stuck at that hospital under contract, look into travel nursing when you get a year under your belt. Sometimes there are local opportunities. Some hospitals have New Grad positions where they try to ensure their new nurses are mentored properly to build confidence.

If you are stuck at that unit/hospital, try to keep pushing through. Build that thick skin. Regarding confidence: fake it til you make it, but always ask questions and make sure patient safety is your top priority. Try not to think of your coworkers ask trying to push you to do things their way as a bad thing. IMO, everyone has a different way of doing things. Observe coworkers techniques and adapt to whatever works best for you. I go by the old “kill them with kindness” technique. Pleasantly thank them for showing you their way of doing things, but in the end you do you as long as you keep your patients safe.

Can you switch shifts? If so, perhaps give that a try. When I was burned out on days, I switched to nights and the tempo and personalities were different.

It is hard. And the only ones who understand are those who have gone through it. In the end, if it is truly wrecking your soul, it is not worth it. Try to stick it out if you can, but not at the expense of your mental, physical, or emotional well being.

I wish you the best. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat any further on this topic.

As a Floridian, I was disgusted to receive an email several month ago from the office of the Surgeon General advising against getting Covid vaccines and boosters knowing a majority of folks who receive this email will take this as best recommended practice. Folks, it is your choice, but please talk to your doctor to help guide you in such decisions.

This is neat, however the problem that caused ischemic PAD in the first place (diabetes) will still be there and continue to do damage if not controlled.

I think it’s more of an HCA for-profit thing. All my coworkers who have ever worked for HCA rarely had anything good to say about that company. Businesses that are for profit do not put patient care above all else. By trying to squeeze more profit out they cut staffing and quality equipment and increase mandatory overtime. In the end it’s the staff and moreover the patients who suffer.

CHF in this case is the abbreviation for the Swiss franc (currency). I was quite confused initially reading it as CHF as the medical abbreviation for Congestive Heart Failure. Was wondering how heart failure and arthritis were related for a sec. :)

The information in the links you provided have no proof of scientific evidence or research studies to support them.

You bring up some excellent points.

After reading the article, I don’t necessarily think it is biased to assuming STDs are more prevalent in the gay, bi, and trans community, just that that is the population this particular group of researchers have done the most studies on. I know that the gay, bi, and trans community in the past had much less healthcare studies for various reasons, so it is a good thing IMO that this population is not overlooked in studies and healthcare issues that impact all persons regardless of sex, sexual activity, or sexual identity.

I completely agree with limiting unnecessary prescriptions to help prevent “superbugs” along with secondary effects on the individuals taking the medications.

I never liked the idea of doctors just throwing pills at people. I have family members who run to their doc or a local clinic every time they get a cold to get a “z-pack” without just trying to deal with it allowing their non-compromised immune system do it’s job. I believe part of the problem is lack of education (or incorrect information from online sites) and lack of knowledge of appropriate facilities to address conditions. The emergency room is for emergencies… not boo boos or something you can see your doctor or a doctor at a clinic for. Anyway, I have gone off on a tangent.

Thanks for your contribution in this discussion.

I am a nurse and agree with your analysis of the article and information provided. Thank you for your input.

Am a nurse, but consider myself a bit of a computer geek. Was an avid Reddit user, but left in protest of the changes and never looked back. I’ve enjoyed participating in the growth of lemmy, learning the system by trial and error in throughout the migration. Has been really enjoyable, reminding me of when I switched over to Linux a bit in the early 2000’s before becoming an avid gamer.

I know a lot of the non-tech savvy folks and younger generations were disappointed when joining lemmy and learning it isn’t a polished platform like most other commercial social media is, but imo that’s part of its charm, knowing it is a growing, living work in progress with the many dedicated developers devoting their free time to continually improve it.

It was announced several years ago. The development team was based in Ukraine. Since the military conflict started, production has drastically slowed. Most of the devs migrated to Greece. Been getting updates, but sporadically.

I am still holding hope for its release. From everything I have read/heard about the game, I believe the developers are trying to make sure they release a quality product, therefore part of the “slow to release” aspect.

I’ve been waiting for a c/nurses or c/nursing pop up but I dare not want to take the lead on that
