This “Nots” list of ER nurses may hit some as common sense – or it may surprise them.
Model and healthcare worker Natalie Elise went viral on a list of seven things she never would. They are all based on her experience as an emergency room nurse.
Elise posted the video on Saturday. Currently, there are over 2.3 million views and counts.
7 things that ER nurses don’t do
“What you never do as an ER nurse” Elise begins before rattling the seven deal breakers.
“I’d never own a jeep,” she begins. “Don’t order mixed drinks at busy bars. Always get what comes in cans.”
She also says she would not “adopt” the habit “which would lead me to be overly obese.” However, she does not provide details on what this entails.
“I don’t own a gun,” she says. “We see wounds from bullets, which are a complete accident than intentional one.”
Finally, Elise states that she will never “not allow my knife to be dull” or “own a tungsten ring.”
“They can’t cut them off from you,” she says.
Elise’s concerns are clearly personal, but certainly not without merit. Below are some facts related to the ER Nurse Knot List.
Don’t drive a jeep
Around Motor trends“From the available data, we can say that Jeep Wranglers are crash-safe, but not as safe as other SUVs.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also reported that it “discovered a possible 26.7% rollover, which is higher than a typical SUV.”
Do not order mixed drinks in crowded bars
2016, Research Leading by Dr. Suzanne C. Swan of the University of South Carolina, it turns out that drink spikes and dosing are more than just urban legends.
“The researchers discovered [that] 462 students (7.8%) reported 539 cases in which they said they had been taken drugs, and 83 (1.4%) said they knew who they had taken drugs or who had taken other people. ”
In other words, concerns are definitely worth it.
Adopt a lifestyle that leads to obesity
The third item on the ER nurse DONS list is a little more vague than the first two. Being seriously overweight can lead to health complications.
However, the article Independence I argue that this term is often Overused It was misdiagnosed.
“Scholars suggest that Body Mass Index (BMI) scores are not “subtle” enough to measure obesity, and that more ratings are needed before someone is said to be obese. ”

I own a gun

Make the knife dull
There is no doubt that a sharp knife is a safer knife. According to Knife Depot Blog, “The main reason dull knives are more dangerous is that the equipment requires a large amount of force when cutting than a sharp knife.”
The more pressure used for cutting, the more likely it is to slip and get injured.
I own a tungsten ring
The second to last item in the ER Nurse DOT involves tungsten rings. Is it impossible for them to cut off?
On the Mohs scale of hardness, Tungsten is 9. Diamonds are the hardest and ranked 10. Therefore, tungsten is extremely difficult.
However, you cannot cut a tungsten ring like a gold ring, but you can remove it with other tools.
According to Larson’s Jewelry“Tungsten rings are a type of ring that can only be “cut” with a vise grip or any kind of lock pliers. Most paramedics have this common tool, as well as local emergency rooms. ”
Share lip products with friends
The final that isn’t on the list of medical professionals is to “sharing my lip products with friends.”
According to Dr. Dawn Davis, a dermatologist at Mayo Clinic, “Sharing lip balm or lip moisturizer with others is a bad idea. Sharing these products increases the risk of a contract Herpescaused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). …People can carry the herpes virus to their mouth without developing active pain.
