I’m a new RN Unit Manager for a rehab/skilled floor at a facility. My friend helped me get the job, as she’s a cart nurse on the LTC floor, and I just left an ADON (RN) job, and I have been a supervisor my entirety of my 6 years as an LPN.

I’m working on cleaning up, getting rid of old paperwork that is useless, outdated and needs to be updated. This weekend I brought home the blank copy book to clean it up, it had years-old stuff and multiple plastic sheets of the same copies. Condensed that down nicely. I also plan on bringing in snacks, pens, food etc for my floor, as it helps boost morale. I’ve been here for two weeks, my first week the state was in, and my second week was my first full week on the floor, the second day I was on the cart.

I’ve also already made new report sheets for the nurses, and I am working on the CNA assignment sheets tonight.

Any tips from nurses, CNAs, and other nursing management? This is my first time running a single floor, as I ran the entirety of the facility I was an ADON at.

Thank you! 😊

I have been listening to Billie’s first EP, and discovered party favor (amazing!!!) but more importantly, watch. It’s so powerful. It changed my life, literally. It’s so empowering overall, it’s so motivational!

“Now I’m free.” 😭❤️ No one will ever extinguish her fire.

How do you guys feel about watch?

This might seem weird to others… but I’ve always came so much. I’m a shooter. Like, 4+ft when fully loaded.

I’ve been like this since day one. I just jerked off and I got all messy everywhere. Even when sitting it shoots so far in the air to the point where it hits my face. When I lay down and jerk off if it’s been days I cum up my chest, on/in my mouth and it’s eve hit the headboard and back of the wall before. It’s nuts!!! It’s kinda cool but lowkey gross.

My bf likes it when I cum a lot in him, but otherwise when I jerk off over him it shoots all over hit body, again, even over his head. Like wtf?

Anyone else have this “issue”? 😂

Am I on the right trajectory? I was an LPN for 6 years, and now about a year as an RN. I’m essentially making $53/hr. I was in NH for my hospital and neurology office jobs, now back in MA where I started as an LPN and started the ADON job. It’s been rough but I feel like I’ve come far. It I still feel like it’s not enough 🫩😔

I’m 3/10 classes into my BSN but for now I haven’t continued due to my last job being too hectic. I will go back eventually but as of now my current goals don’t exactly need it.

Any insight from anyone? I love the nursing home but it can be a lot. Eventually I may wanna jump into case management WFH jobs. I’m just not sure where to go from here.

I don’t know how to word this, really. But when I’m having sex, I get hard. Not as hard as I used to get, but somewhat hard. I am I think about 6in if not more fully hard. When I am hard, I can’t seem to cum anymore. I have to jerk off for a long time, hold my breath until I get dizzy, and then I’ll finally cum. Sometimes I still don’t even get fully hard in this process.

I haven’t jerked off to porn much in the past few months. But, I noticed when I do watch porn, I cum/climax extremely fast, to the point where sometimes I’m not even hard at all. When this happens, I tend to be very softly hard. Aka, not far from soft. The cum is usually not very good, it tends to be unfulfilling and not a true, extreme orgasm. When I orgasm while hard, holding my breath, it tends to be very extreme.

My problem is that when I’m having sex, I stay hard or at least somewhat hard for the most part. I’m a top. When I do it, I tend to just keep fucking and not really… feeling anything. I try to make myself feel something by slamming onto the person hard and fast, but still to no avail really feel anything. The only way I can truly climax while having sex is after the act for awhile, I have to lay down, out of breath, jerk off until I’m close, and then continue, cum on top of the person, or cum inside of them (which is when I tend to get my hardest inside someone). But even the act of stopping masturbating to climb on top of them to jerk off on top of them or put myself inside of them makes me lose my feeling and sometimes I have to lay back down AGAIN to try to do it all over again.

I’ve started having sex when I was 20, and it didn’t seem to be a problem then. I’m 31 now, and it’s gotten progressively to this point.

I have major depressive disorder, haphazardly treated at the moment. On antidepressants and other psych meds for other conditions. I know that these conditions can affect sex drive and ability to orgasm. However, even with me being off of my antidepressant, I still have these problems. I also have heart issues, to boot.

I have minimal sex drive, although it seems to be getting better. I’m starting to wonder if I have an ED/orgasming problem on top of the possibility of antidepressant-induced sex issues.

Fellow gay bros, does anyone else deal with this? It’s been driving me crazy for years and I can’t take it anymore. I can’t even have sex with my boyfriend much anymore because of this. I used to be able to cum inside of him all the time, sometimes even more than once a day. But now…. Nothing. I know this isn’t a doctor/nurse Reddit, but I want input from fellow gay people.

😔

I feel so fucking empty inside. I had an instant connection with him, we talked for an hour just sitting in the car together. My awkward self putting myself down, as usual. He was so sweet, handsome and nice. We connected on work-level and personal levels a lot. He’s in an open marriage himself. He wanted me to fuck his brains out. I don’t know if it’s just me, but being romantic and sweet is in my nature. I don’t know how people instantly jump straight into fucking a hole. I didn’t like doing it in a car either. I felt so dirty. Every time I tried to kiss him, and when I did kiss him it was a tiny peck and I just felt so emotionally unwanted. I know it’s not a hookup requirement but to me, it is.

I wanna cry. I just feel so fucking gross and disgusting and dirty and like I betrayed by bf even though we’re in a consented open relationship. The sex sucked honestly, and I rammed him so hard my penis hurts and neither of us even came. Like wtf is wrong with me. I almost cried on the way home. I’m just sitting on my couch in the dark while my bf is sleeping upstairs after I got home a half hour ago.

I don’t know how I’m gonna move past this. Why do I keep wanting men to be friends and fwb with and nothing feels right, every time???? All I want is an emotional connection with a man that’s not my partner. Why am I the only one who seems to know what I want in a person? No one else can fulfill it?

I feel so gross and empty. 😭😢

PS: Fucking in cars feels so fucking disgusting and dirty. It hurts and it’s awkward and I don’t know why people do it willingly. Never again.
