Howdy all! I joined Reddit recently to help build up more online presence and am now just working up the karma and age of my account :) but I also have long time lurked on this site for Korean skincare product reviews, weight lifting programme chat, and tips for content creators and life long psoriasis sufferers 😅

I am so grateful that I found this group. I have not had a lot of luck with other subs because people can be so rude. I'm a masters student in a marriage and family therapy program. Most of my life is about psychology and cycling. If anyone is up to talk about either one, let me know. I also have experience with foster care and comedy.

Hello from Holland. After avoiding Social Media for many years, I started Reddit to read about topics. I want to stay away from polarization as much as possible, just being an authentic human being with manners. Take care

I can't access the rules. I keep getting an error message. My first post requesting help was removed due to not enough content so I hope this one will be accepted.

Good morning everyone, I joined Reddit about 5 months ago but I have not been very active. I am a caregiver to my hwd (husband with dementia) and he takes up some of my time. I'm a card maker, I live in Florida, I love to travel and like everybody else. I'm here to build my karma :)

I became a nurse in 2008. Became inactive during lockdown as I am vulnerable and immunocompromised. During that time I started therapy for unrelated reasons but was quickly diagnosed with PTSD from all the abuse I endured (from patients AND other staff) over the years. Nursing can be rewarding if you get into the right specialty. Typical bedside nursing is... Extremely difficult. It's true that there is a Mean Girl to Nurse Pipeline, nurses eat their young etc. Just do your job to the best of your abilities and try your best to stay out of work drama created by the bullies you will definitely face in the course of your career. I do not want to discourage you and don't mean to be negative. I just think back to when I was getting ready to go to Army basic training and my marine older brother took leave to come home to prepare me for what I was about to go through and I will be forever grateful for that. Nothing surprised me, I was ready and prepared and ended up killing it and was promoted at graduation.
So with that being said, I'm just trying to prepare you so when you walk on to the unit for the first time nothing comes as a surprise to you. I am sending you well wishes and the hope that your experience is much better than mine. If you have any questions, about nursing school stuff or my experiences (I have stories for days. Some funny, some sad, some scary, some bad. I did not mean to turn into Dr Seuss it just kind of happens some times) I would be happy to help or just share my knowledge and what the nurse life looked like through my eyes. Not to pat myself in the back (kidding total non humble brag ahead) I graduated in the top 5 of 50 in my class and despite the negatives I was a damn good nurse. It was just time for me to hang my stethoscope up for the last time. I truly hope you only have kind coworkers and management. The patients are a whole mixed bag and range from grateful and cooperative to attempting to kick your ass, rip out IVs catheters feeding tubes and then complain to your manager about some fictional things you did or didn't do. Try not to let it get to you. Get the highest degree that you can afford because Nurse Practitioner is the ultimate nursing job, at least in the US. I can't speak for other countries. Good luck with the rest of school and may you have the best nursing experience ever to be told. Or at least abuse free.

I've been more active on Reddit the last 2 months or so. I like the chat so I was glad to find this sub. 🙂
I deal with mod-severe treatment-resistant depression & Complex-PTSD. Since the kids returned home on the Friday just after Christmas, I've been trying to stay busy with crafts, some new or renewed, and quilting. I have a lap size quilt top loaded but haven't decided how to quilt it. I do freehand quilting.
I bought an undated planner for the year so I've spent HOURS making a page of print & cut stickers for my Cricut. It is ready to go but cutting will be slow and I didn't want to wait for it tonight. 😂
I've done some paper crafts - a winter folio from downloaded images and YT tutorials. Then found a more mixed media format of a junk journal challenge for January. In the last year, I think I bought some bookmaking thread and supplies but have no idea where they are. I need that for the January junk journal. Ha!
We live on his family farm 🙄 , we got out of livestock in 2020. He had construction work in winter & summer until '22. Last winter he still had a lot of catch up projects. This year is much different and he is underfoot way too much. MIL lives across the field and at age 90.5, is a bit of a struggle and he goes daily to get her mail and just check in. He doesn't stay and visit tho.
We are TOTALLY missing this weekend's winter storm! 😂 I don't like winter! 🥶

Hi! I'm new to reddit, and I thought this would be a great place to start. I'm looking to socialize more and I love the idea of just having casual conversations with people. I love to hear different opinions and thoughts on different topics. It seems like a great positive part of reddit.
