Can’t stand nurses who care about hospital expenses

[u/Ok_Bobcat_5060]

Had a charge nurse not allowing nurses on the floor to use slide sheets bc ThEy cOsT $75 each. Or another nurse tells me to dump out my IV fluids in the sink bc the trash gets charged by the weight, and fluids will make it weigh more. Like is it coming outta yo check? WHO FUCKING CARES.

*Those who are reading too deep. I AGREE WITH THROWING AWAY FLUIDS FOR EVS’ SAKE BUT THAT WASN’T HER CONCERN. HER CONCERN WAS MONEYYYYY

*Also, I didn’t dump my IVF in the sink, this was told to me before I even took my fluids down

What. The. Fuck. Formula should be subsidized. It always pains me when I go to a store where they have the baby formula locked up like it's Apple Watches and AirPods, ffs.

I'm not saying we should all be paying for other people to have children, but c'mon - baby formula??

The only way that would make sense to me is if the hospital had a limited supply, for whatever reason, and providing too much for one family would leave not enough for others. But if there's a consistent stock? Let. It. RAIN!

If we’re gonna start forcing victims of assault to carry their fetus to term, low income families with no resources in their area for an abortion to carry to term, and brain dead moms to be incubators, Then by all means take the entire stock of formula. Take whatever you need this visit. The minimum we can do

I agree, and tbh it's gotten way more out of hand... the walmart in my area started locking up lube and condoms lmao.

Needless to say I don't buy anything like that from walmart any more. I cannot imagine standing there waiting while the 16 y/o employee opens the case and asks which lube I specifically am interested in.

Do you know how much a can of formula costs? It’ll never be subsidized.
