MODERATORS
Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3
Join our public Matrix server!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

I suspect a lot of us are unnecessarily harsh on ourselves. I would never talk to one of my coworkers the way I do to myself, I'm quite harsh on myself for not getting an IV start for example but I'm quite encouraging to my coworkers or the students we get.
specific example with a sick kid
One time we got a kid where EMS mixed up their weight as kilograms when they took it in pounds. Because most of us think in pounds, no one caught it until on my shift one of the nurses did because this young kids weight was the same as his wife's lol. We reweighed and fixed it, it was important because it was a DKA case (doesn't matter what that is but a risk in treating DKA is cerebral edema from pumping too much fluids in, which is what happened when the weight was falsely high). Between EMS, ER, and then us it took a long time to catch that error - luckily the kid was fine with no damage. But explaining it to the people who were on last night, I could recognize the exact feeling I would've had. That I should've caught it, it was my fault, that I was a bad nurse, that I could have hurt someone, etc and meanwhile I was reassuring them and told them the family knew what happened and that we would adjust the policy to reweigh every admission no matter what. But if it had been me, I would've been very harsh on myself meanwhile here I was being gentle and reassuring to someone else..
Anyway, that kind of reverse double standard isn't healthy and it's insidious. I try to be gentler with myself too, it's a constant issue. You're not a bad person, especially if you're self reflective and want to be good.
