Nagmigrate ako sa US 6 months ago. Yung friend ko naghihintay nalang din ng work visa. Siguro next year andito na din sya. Bawat usap namin lagi syang nagjojoke ng palibre or padala ng pera. Minsan nga parang di na joke eh. Di naman nya kelangan kasi nung nasa Pinas pako mas mapera pa sya ng di hamak kesa sakin. One time nagpapalibre ng pagkain so nagpadala ako ng 2k pesos. Tapos mula nung mas lumala na yung “jokes” nya na palibre/padala ng pera. Send ng seng ng gcash number nya. Syempre tumatanggi nako pero lately naiinis na ako. Gets ko naman malaki na sahod ko dito pero ang annoying lang na parang bawat usap namin (1-2x a week) eh laging may kasunod na pahingi ng pera. OA lang ba ako?

EDIT: Yes kinausap ko na sya before. Saka close kami, alam nya financial struggles ko since Pinas palang. Inutang ko pa nga sa pinsan ko yung flight ticket ko pa-US eh. Tapos ngayon nakita nya nakakaluwag luwag nako. Di nya kelangan ng pera. Mayaman sila. Gusto lang nya magpalibre kasi malaki na daw sweldo ko. Also NEVER ako nagpalibre or nangutang sakanya sa Pinas so I don’t owe her anything.

I’m getting pretty desperate so I’m asking reddit. The job market for nurses is brutal and over saturated now. I have 2 years ICU experience and 5 months med surg/telemetry (current job rn) experience. I’m humbly asking if there’s any nurses here that can refer me at their hospital? Either full time or part time. I have a BSN, BLS, ACLS, Fire and DCI training. Help a fellow nurse please! Thank you! 😊

We were together for 6 years physically but then I migrated to the US 6 months ago. She applied for a tourist visa but got denied today. I’m so heartbroken! I don’t know how we’re gonna see each other now. I can’t go home because I just got my green card. I was really hoping we could see each other every ~6 months. Can anyone please share any advice or words of encouragement? I can’t see a silver lining in our situation.

We have a REALLY difficult, demanding, paranoid, and overall unpleasant patient and relatives. The patient is there for a thrombus and all we give him are pantoprazole IVP, Clotrimazole cream for his toe fungus, Lovenox and PRN Tylenol PO. They call every 10 mins. If you don’t come fast enough because you’re with another patient, they will literally find you in that patient’s room and wait outside. Every med pass I swear takes an hour for just those 3 meds. Every meal time is a struggle because they keep refusing then reordering food. I handled him on his 5th hospital stay and he quizzed me on Pantoprazole for literally 20 mins. None of them are even in the medical field. Kept insisting “Pantoprazole is okay but NOT Protonix.” Then when he FINALLY said okay I’ll take it, I forgot to flush the saline lock before giving Pantoprazole. I had 5 other patients and I’ve already been there for an hour so I was in a hurry. But I flushed it after. Now the patient got 10/10 angry, said that the flush before meds are 1000% critical then called his daughter to complain. Daughter comes running in, and starts freaking out too. Mind you, his eMar literally only has 4 meds so I know for sure he wasn’t given anything before. And I flushed it during shift report to ensure its patent. So now they said they’ll sue me because I didn’t flush before giving the meds. I told the charge, house supervisor, and even my DON. But they were all “eh let her complain 🤷‍♀️”. The relative kept threatening me that she knows influencial people in Sacramento and they know influencial doctors etc. I’m not really bothered, but I’m just curious has anyone actually been sued for things like this?
