I’m 14 weeks and have been a little constipated on and off but this week I realized I haven’t pooped in 5 days. I sat down to try and threw up from how hard I was pushing. I had to squat over a pad in the shower after a suppository to get it out. I feel a lot better but I dont understand how I forgot to poop for 5 days? I literally felt no discomfort until I tried to go to the toilet. Is there something wrong?

I’m an Lpn that wants to transition to phlebotomy. My job is actually closing down and I took a phlebotomy class and fell in love. But now I can’t seem to get hired. I have applied to probably around 100 jobs by now. Hospitals, outpatient, plasma/blood donation, quest, labcorp, drug screening companies… I’ve gotten a few interviews but no offer. I’ve been trying for about a month. Is this normal? Or is it my Lpn license holding me back?

I’ve had insomnia nearly my entire life. Benadryl has been a lifesaver for me. I’ve taken 50mg of Benadryl nightly for nearly 10 years. I’m 29 now. It’s really the only thing I’ve found that works for my insomnia. I’ve had some doctors raise their eyebrows but none be too concerned.

I’m an Lpn who recently got a phlebotomy certificate. My job as an Lpn at a primary care clinic is closing unexpectedly. I’m not hearing a word back from any nursing jobs I apply to for some reason. I’ve heard back from some phlebotomy positions but have not gotten a job yet. Is labcorp fairly easy to get hired to? I am striking out and I don’t have much time left

I had an interview at an outpatient clinic. I was coming from work and was a few minutes late. Unfortunately I went to the wrong clinic, ended up being about 25 minutes late to the interview. I communicated with the woman who interviewed me that I went to the wrong place and she was understanding and I feel like the interview went okay. Do you think I blew it?

I work in a doctors office. Daily people come in for issues that could be most likely solved with just regular daily hygiene. The general public just stanks. Crusty feet, bad breath, foul walk by wind.. I give a pass for the elderly and disabled but oftentimes it’s abled bodied people. was a large part of the population just not taught basic hygiene?

I’m an LPN currently making $19.88 an hour at a doctors office. My office got a lab and I took a phlebotomy class and fell in love. I decided to apply for phlebotomy jobs. I got an interview with a large hospital outpatient center. No pay info was provided but I need to make at least what I make now to survive. I’ve been an Lpn for 4 years. Do you think they’ll take my experience into consideration?

I’m a bit of a chaotic gardener and have had pretty good luck with saving what sprouts in my compost and planting. I’ve gotten a lot of baby pepper plants, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes mostly. What have you guys had luck with?

I’m a nurse that is taking a phlebotomy class. I am straight up addicted now to drawing blood and find the entire process fascinating. I think it’s kind of an art and so nuanced I am just completely obsessed. When I get a hard stick it’s like a high lmfao 🤣 I’m actually planning on switching to phlebotomy only. I feel like I found my thing

I’m a nurse that’s taking a phlebotomy class because my clinic got a lab. I feel like I’m getting less clumsy but I just feel like I can’t get my stuff set up in a way I can grab it easily. How do you lefties cope?

I just moved to Reynoldsburg after having lived several cities in ohio. Even in Cincinnati people were friendly, of course not quite the same as a small town friendly but still pleasant. I have been at my job which is a customer facing job for 2 weeks and they have nearly had to call the police 3 times for customers just losing their shit. I have been in this industry for 8 years and never had a customer base like this. No neighbors have said hello to me, drivers are crazy.. what’s going on in Reynoldsburg? 😂

29F, live alone, no kids or partner. I stay alive because I love my dad more than anyone in the world. He’s already lost one child and I can’t do that to him. My mom, eh but I wouldn’t want to do that to her either. The smallest things set me off into a tailspin. I’m a nurse and I missed someone’s vein during a blood draw at work. That shouldn’t make me want to end it all but here we are. Everyday just feels like paying bills and getting closer to middle age. I feel like my life has been nearly pointless up until this point and I have a hard time finding meaning in anything. I’ve been on lexapro for 10 years, it does help with my anxiety but I still am miserable. Guys always ghost me, I’m not sure if it’s because I give off crazy vibes or if I’m just that unattractive. I’m thoroughly unimpressed with life so far and want off this ride sometimes

I live in Ohio, am a nurse for work, very introverted but a kind person. I like homebody projects like gardening, sourdough, cooking, composting, ect. I’m 5’4, 200 pounds. Want a serious relationship/kids in the future

I work in an office with primarily Nepali coworkers. I have a lot of empathy that their holidays and rituals do not align with the standard American ones and that they will take time off at times most others wouldn’t, but it’s becoming pretty excessive and I feel like I’m picking up the slack all the time. For example, funerals mean they will be often off for up to 10 days. If they are at work, they are fasting and nearly ready to pass out, so they aren’t able to do much work. Every other week it is a different festival or holiday. I don’t want to come off as judgmental or racist, but I am often left as the only person in the office. Our office has a very generous sick/vacation time, and they are always out of hours. My boss is not on site, so I don’t think she understands how often this happens. The front desk girl nearly passed out today from fasting for a funeral and went home, and I let my boss know. She seems just as confused as me on how to approach this issue

I had my baby at an old rural hospital which still has the rule of pooping before leaving the hospital. The last time I pooped was right when labor started about 5 days ago and it was just rabbit pellets. I am on stool softeners and MiraLAX and still nothing. They offered an enema but I am embarrassed and scared of having anything in that area right now after birth. Is there anything else they can give me/do to help me poop besides an enema? It feels like a brick inside me and like my abs are not strong enough to pass it. I had a vaginal birth with a 2nd degree tear

Went on a date with a guy that just started dental residency a few weeks ago. I really like him but the communication has been spotty. There is the possibility that he’s just not into me which is totally fine, but I also know he is probably very busy. What is the schedule like for a new dental resident? I’m a nurse but obviously I have no personal experience with a schedule like this. Do they usually have weekends off?
