Day Three of School

Today was much better. I scheduled my fingerprints. It wasn’t as expensive as I thought it was going to be. I still think the school should’ve paid for them but I digress. Class felt unnecessarily long and drawn out today but I’m getting a bit of a groove. I will have sooooo much work to do for all three classes!!!! So much information that I’ll need to study and hopefully remember. There will hardly be free time. I need to make a schedule for myself for studying each class material etc. Also, my birthday is this month and I’ll be in class 🥲.

Statins

Which laboratory values should be monitored in a patient taking statins? 

a) Blood glucose and hemoglobin 

b) White blood cell count and platelets 

c) Liver function tests and creatine kinase 

d) Serum potassium and sodium

-------------------------------------------

Explanation: Statins are a class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. As with any medication, statins can cause side effects, including damage to the liver and muscles. Therefore, it is important to monitor liver function tests (such as AST, ALT, and bilirubin) to ensure that the medication is not causing liver damage. Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in muscle tissue, and elevated levels can indicate muscle damage. Therefore, monitoring CK levels can help detect muscle damage associated with statin use. Blood glucose, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelets, serum potassium, and sodium are not typically affected by statin use and do not require monitoring.

Answer: The correct answer is c) Liver function tests and creatine kinase.

So I made a friend at the facility that dropped my agency and canceled all my shifts and this girl is trying so hard to get me to work there. I've told her a dozen times exactly why I'll never be facility staff anywhere ever again and how there's things about agency I don't want to give up but she just won't stop. I'm not taking a pay cut to drive an hour and a half to work and get treated like disposable trash by admins/managers, to be threatened my job if I don't pick up a shift or have to call off, to be guilted over and over again to pick up more shifts or come in when they're short. Working staff again honestly sounds like the worst option because facilities treat their employees like absolute shit, especially nursing staff, so why would I do that? And you can bet your ass that once I get my LPN I'm gonna work staff a some place just long enough to go back to agency and probably still work as an aide for agency while I'm putting in that time. God I just need to find the money to go back to school and get my nursing license so I can start making real money. Nurses make a lot more through agency than aides and they get a lot more options on where to work and stuff because everywhere needs nurses like crazy also nurses have better chances at getting contracts than aides, I've been looking for a contract for a while to no avail but the contract needs list for nurses is a mile long. Wtf ya girl needs work bro.

Hey, different trans guy anon here. If I ever do end up needing T illegally and get caught, would that felony prevent me from working in the medical field? I'm just starting school for an LPN in the fall

This is not medical or legal advice.

So.

Nursing is not a particularly friendly field for people with felony convictions. Especially convictions related to abuse or neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, and drugs. This is for a good reason, but it also would definitely make things difficult for someone who needed to get T illegally.

I know a lot of people are saying that "oh you'll never get caught! it's such a small amount!" but hear me when I say: If they need an excuse to arrest a trans person and they can't outright say it's because they're trans (yet), it's what they're gonna look for. So I personally would go without T or find a way to get a legit script (see previous post) rather than risk the felony (I have a nursing license too and I'd like to keep it).

Some states are willing to look into specifics of the conviction. Some have minimum amounts of time between the felony and the license application (say, 3 years from end of probation/sentence to being allowed to get a nursing license). Some will outright refuse a license to anyone with a felony.

If you have a state that is willing to look into specifics, they will generally look at what you have done to improve yourself since the conviction, and evidence that you would never commit the crime again. Things like AA or NA, going to anger management counseling, and other steps that decrease the risk of re-offending. This is obviously something you would not be able to prove without a full de-transition.

And that's not to mention, after you have a license you're going to have to explain to every potential employer why you have a felony. Which effectively means coming out to every potential employer. In a world where it might be seriously dangerous to come out, this is not something you'd want to do.

Hi dear. I saw your post about pain management - thank you so much for it, it was an inspiring read, also it made it so obvious that you are truly passionate about being a nurse or rather, helping people and being present for those who need it the most. I wanted to ask - do you feel your job as a nurse affects the care you give in your interpersonal relationships and if yes, then how? rather negatively or positively? this is something I think about a lot bc my husband would love to study to become a nurse because he has a heart full of love and care, I knew he would be so good at it, but we are also having our firstborn soon and I just worry that being a nurse might be so draining that what if there is no energy for me and the baby. I really want to support my husband and I know this might be a silly question, but having read how you think I would so much love to hear your thoughts on this topic!

My big disclaimer for this is that I'm currently on medical leave for depression that wasn't CAUSED by my work but was definitely exacerbated by it and definitely worse when I was on shift. I've also been dealing with depression for a long time, and it's always interfered with my jobs at some point. The main problem is that it's a lot worse to have brain fog at a hospital than it is at an ice cream shop. I consider nursing to be a protective factor for my mental health SOMETIMES. It is work that I find meaning in and makes me proud. It can be an exhausting job but also a rewarding one. Extra compassion is also a double-edged sword: it can make you a better nurse, and it can also drain you that much faster because you get invested. Self-care is a part of the nursing code of ethics because the job in part because compassion fatigue is so easy to get if you aren't careful with your limits.

It is a draining job. I've begged off lot of things due to my schedule and feeling exhausted (but I am a homebody hermit). It's also a job a lot of people balance with raising children. My mom (who was already a nurse when I was born) liked the flexibility of the schedule. I work with dozens of nurses who have children. Many are mothers who are still breastfeeding infants. Some actively participate in their family life, some don't, and I don't know how much that has to do with their specific job. You know your husband. Does he already struggle to balance work/school/responsibilities and personal life? That's an issue with any career, but I do think healthcare is a profession where it can get even harder.

oops another nursing essay under the cut

(Plus, in terms of timing in with your newborn, congrats btw, your husband will have to go through nursing school first if he decides on this track, and minimum that will take like 15 months if he has all the pre-reqs and gets into an accelerated program. When it comes to dealing with a newborn, schooling might be more of a stumbling block than the job itself. I know a lot of people who consider nursing school to be one of the worst times of their lives. He might be able to do LPN [licensed practical nurse] instead of RN [registered nurse]. RN requires a bachelors and has a larger scope of practice and generally higher pay. I know almost nothing about getting your LPN license so he'll have to investigate that himself. I'll say the hospital systems that I've been in not only prefer RNs but often have requirements that people without a certain amount of experience MUST get their bachelors after X amount of time.)

I would also say not all nursing jobs are created equal in terms of labor, emotional and otherwise. My first job was in home health which got me somewhat emotionally enmeshed with the family I primarily worked with, but it also wasn't emotionally distressing. Nurses on our oncology floors and the ICU have a different experience than nurses who work in elective short-stay surgery. And different people find different things draining. I find working with end-of-life patients to be energizing in my work; a lot of people don't. My aunt worked pediatrics because she found working with children must less distressing than working with a geriatric population. Some people thrive in the chaos and speed of the emergency room, while I find it to be a tremendously depressing place that I hate floating to.

I think you'd have to ask my loved ones if really if it affects how much I care for them. Speaking personally for myself: I think it is overall positive for my relationships. I like the rhythm of nursing, I like the philosophy of nursing, I like who nursing makes me be. I like that nursing work is impossible to bring home. You can bring the emotions home, but you leave the patients at the hospital. It's simple for a bedside nurse to keep a strong division between their work self and their home self, but it's not necessarily easy. And again, I'm off work right now and probably will be for a bit longer so. yknow. He should make sure he's got a good support system in place.

Also some states and cities are far, far better than others when it comes to nursing regulations. Are there legally mandated staff ratios where you work? How many hospitals are in the area? Are any of them union? What does the compensation look like? What is the turnover rate? Nursing could be a great profession in general, but it might not be great in your particular location.

My last point would be that working in healthcare can make you feel...disconnected, I guess, from people who don't. Healthcare is such a culture unto itself. Sometimes I'd be like that meme of guy at party hanging out in the corner thinking, "they don't know yesterday I took care of a patient in a situation so fucked and depressing that it's now an ethics case." Or on the other hand, "they don't know that a patient called me their guardian angel and cried while they thanked me." The fact that healthcare is a different world is neither a pro nor a con, but something to consider. Depending on how you spend your days, his life might start to have parts that look very different from yours. I loved having a nurse as a mother and listening to her stories. My father banned all anecdotes involving poop and gore from his presence.

I hope you and your husband figure out the best way possible for him to use that compassion, which might be nursing or might not be. Either way, good luck to you guys!

“Wade, we are in public. If you don’t get your hands off my tits, I’m going to hurt you.” You hissed, slapping his hands away from your chest and his smile grew wider. He wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his face in your neck, making your scolding turn to giggles. His hands grasped under your shirt and groped at your plush hips and up to your breasts again. 

“Don’t tease me with a good time, sweet cheeks.” Wade purred in your ear as he palmed at your breasts and you rolled your eyes and yanked his hands out from under your shirt. 

You grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yanked him down so your lips were by his ear, “Wade, I’m warning you. It is Negasonic’s birthday. We are in a bar, in public. Behave.” You growled and bit his jaw in warning, leaving teeth marks that healed up. You pulled away from him and walked away to go back up to the bar, with Wade following you like a lost puppy. 

“Come on. You’re wearing your too tight skirt. I’m soaking.” He groaned against your hair as he wrapped his arms around your waist.

“I have wide hips. Everything is too tight on me.” You huffed and thanked the bartender for your new drink. 

“And I thank the writer for that.” He mumbled against your hair making you roll your eyes. 

“We can stay for half an hour longer then give Negasonic her gift then we can go.” You huffed and leaned into his hold, making you smile softly. 

“Promise?” He asked as he turned you to face him.

You playfully rolled your eyes at him, “I promise, you insufferable merc.” You huffed and kissed his lips softly and he whined when you pulled away without letting him deepen the kiss. 

The night finished with you and Wade saying your goodbyes and giving Negasonic her present before you two left. Dopinder drove you and Wade to your apartment, and Wade could barely keep his hands off of you in the cab ride and it got worse as soon as you two stumbled into the apartment. Mary Puppins popped her head up as the door opened but settled back down once she realized who you two were. Wade quickly scooped you up into his strong arms, making you squeal softly. 

“Wade!” You giggled and smacked at his back as he carried you over his shoulder and into your shared bedroom. He tossed you onto the plush bed, making your breasts bounce with the force and Wade quickly shed his clothes before tugging at yours. “Calm down, you piranha.” You huffed and stripped off your clothes and he was quick to press sloppy kisses to each expanse of your plush body. You let out a soft gasp as his teeth dug into your skin, leaving light marks on you. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders and pulled him up to your lips, he engulfed your lips with his, making you moan and whine against his lips. 

He pulled away with his forehead pressed against yours and his hands moved down to palm your breasts softly, “Let me make a mess of these beautiful tits of yours. They would look so fucking beautiful painted in my cum.” He groaned and leaned down to suck one nipple into his warm and wet mouth, making your back arch into the pleasure that his mouth was providing. His hand palmed your other nipple with the same vigor of his mouth. 

He pulled back and gathered the spit in his mouth and spat in between your breasts, and he moved to straddle your chest and slid his already hard cock in between your breasts. You moaned softly as he squeezed your breasts together, creating a soft tunnel for Wade to thrust back and forth in between your bare breasts. He let out a loud groan of your name as he felt your soft breasts wrapped around him. 

His hands tugged and pinched your taut nipples, while keeping your breasts together. You let your hands rest above your hair as you let Wade use your body as he pleased. He moaned and grunted out noises and incoherent words as his thrusts grew sloppy with each time he thrusts in between your warm breasts. You let out breathy moans and gasps as he plucked and squeezed your nipples, till they were sore. 

“F-fuck, cupcake, so soft, so warm. God, I’m gonna blow my fucking load. Paint these tits white with my seed.” He huffed as his thighs shook around your chest with each thrust. You took the tip of his cock into the warmth of his mouth and he cried out your name, his thighs tensing as he reached his peak. His cock let out spurts of hot cum, painting your tits in stripes of white, making you moan as his cum hit your skin. 

He let out a stream of obscenities as he rode out his high and he promptly slumped onto the bed next to you. His chest rose up and down rapidly as he came down from his high. You let out a deep sigh and you turned your head to look at him and you slapped his chest. “Bum. Get up and make me feel good. I want to cum, you owe me one.” You huffed and he let out a chuckle and sat up and climbed on top of you.

“Fine.” He rolled his eyes playfully and kissed your neck softly before looking over to the wall, “Sorry, readers. This is where it ends.” He winked before kissing you deeper.
