Save my Matthew
This is Matthew.

Matthew is 22 years old, teaches karate to little kids

puts ketchup on his eggs

and Matthew has stage II colon cancer. He’s currently on Chemotherapy and needs your help. Matthew just completed his first round of chemotherapy and the symptoms are starting to arise. loss of hair, weightloss and bruises on his skin. As a friend it’s very hard to watch someone who could kick literal butt go through this.

I can’t even imagine how hard it is on him. Matthew is struggling, he’s already $30,000 in debt and this is his first treatment with at least 5 more to go. To make things worse Matthew isn’t getting any support from his family. Matthew recently came out to them and he’s been disowned by his family and church, just for being who he is. Kicked to the curb and relying on friends for a place to sleep, and now it could also kill him, without the financial support he needs he can’t afford the treatments necessary to save his life. Insurance only pays for so much and experimental treatments aren’t covered. My name is Adam, and I love Matthew.

He’s homeless and now not getting the treatment he needs because of me. Matt came out to his family and he did it for me and now he’s living from couch to couch while working three jobs all to pay for medical treatment he needs. His dad told him he has cancer because of his lifestyle and it’s God’s punishment. I think Matt believes him. Matt strips at night and makes good money doing this but It’s hard on his body and he gets weak easily now. He can’t teach Karate anymore as the chemo has made his cartilage weak, he has a dislocated rib now.
He needs your help, I need your help. I can’t live without him and he’s too good for all this bad to happen to him.

Please, please, share this, donate what you can, anything and every little thing you can do helps. Every penny will go to treatment and anything left over will go to cancer research if we reach our goal. Were expecting another $60-80,000 in medical treatment. Any left over proceeds will be donated to The Children’s Cancer Research Fund. http://www.childrenscancer.org/
Please, no amount is too small, a few cents can make a difference.
Thank you, Please like share and donate here.

Do you have to orient new people if it's not you thing? For some nurses it's not, but I can tell you as a new nurse we know when our preceptor isn't feeling it.

I don’t enjoy training new people, especially brand new nurses. I have very little patience for people who aren’t as smart as me. 😋

Like you really wanna play that shit like it stands for luck and light and shit? Nah bro. You're a straight up racist, at least have the balls to own up to it. /end rant.

New to Trauma
I should've started writing about this crazy experience that is being a new grad in trauma last month, when I started in the ED, and I'm far behind. It's been so intense, starting out in Trauma. The way orientation works at my hospital is a couple weeks in our urgent care zone to get oriented to the charting system, then it's off to the trauma and recusitation zones. Don't know how to place an IV? You're gonna learn real quick. Right here. In a trauma. Never hung and titrated pressors on your patient with an undiagnosed GI bleed with a pressure of 60/20? Print out the protocol and figure it out. You can look up the finer details later. Forget everything you learned in school about head to toe assessments, you need to focus on the primary complaint and focus your assessments, you literally don't have time for anything else. Learn your triage algorithm, because you'll be triaging from day one. And the level you assign them determines their entire plan of care. Don't fuck it up. Don't over chart, but don't forget to document every single thing you did to cover your ass. Insert a line on your patient, draw labs and hang fluids on the patient in 23 with abdominal pain before the resident comes in to assess them in hopes of getting ahead of the game far enough to see your other two EMS arrivals before those orders are put in and pull you back into the room. It's such a careful juggling game, and it sounds so frustrating. It is, I guess. But it's also so damn exciting. Catching stroke symptoms on a patient who arrived with a chief complaint of dizziness and getting a patient to CT in time to make an accurate diagnosis and get them TPA within the recommended time? What a victory. But you have to shrug it off like it's all in a day's work because that's what's expected of you. I've seen body parts come with patients in bags s/p traumatic amputation, caught a splenic lac with kehr's sign (thanks random assessment knowledge from nursing school), watched someone literally bleed out in front of me as we try desperately to pump that volume back in through the rapid transfuser, and lost my first code. I've spent almost as many days in the classroom as I have in the ED (critical care core, EKG core, ACLS, PALS, etc) and I've learned so much. One thing I know for sure, nursing school can never prepare you for the reality of nursing. It's so fucking hard. And so fucking cool. And so fucking scary. And exhausting. And most importantly, so much fun! Hopefully I can start posting daily updates from this point, because there is so much to talk about and so many cool experiences. And there will be mistakes I will make that hopefully a new nurse reading this could avoid.
