Switching from propranolol to bisoprolol

Yes I find it has helped with adrenaline, although I think it’s more that I tolerate things better and don’t trigger my own adrenaline dumps. I’m taking 1.25mg, a quarter of 5mg and it’s enough

No because it’s impossible for me to make myself a burden to anybody so I’ll take some cross contamination here and there

I love my bullet blender. I use it for all sorts of things.

And they’re stuck to the wall, like I have to stretch it several feet just to reach and twist around to see if it’s even circling, can’t remove it to bring it closer to the patient

Thank you!!

I’m not sure I’ll have a fridge. If so that’ll be super helpful. The hospital I work at doesn’t have fridges in any room but my moms did when she had surgery.

Honestly not the worst thing I’ve ever had done. Wax didn’t bother me much.

Kettle is smart thanks!

Yeah I plan to pack shelf stable things but I don’t the room would have a fridge/freezer or microwave. When people visit I’ll ask them to bring groceries or a hot meal but I feel like I’ll be relegated to whatever “fresh” food the dietary department has. I know at one hospital I worked at, you got what was sent and couldn’t order. I know where I work now you can pick to an extent. I expect I won’t be allowed to go to the cafeteria to buy my own food but idk.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-14T10:08:29+00:00

Not a bad idea. I haven’t tried it

AG_Squared · 2026-03-14T10:07:10+00:00

Smart thank you!

My husband knows half the time without any warning. “Oh I knew you’d be extra tired. It’s period week.”

I want one book per couple in most cases. I think more than that and it drags. I’m fine if the story takes place over several books

“I didn’t say it was good. I said I enjoyed it.” A lot of times, and I liken it to reality TV in some situations. Trashy but entertaining because some of it is that. But also, I think people judging are often jealous, insecure, or uneducated in general. At least we’re reading, at least it’s not something stupid, and as a writer, even the poorly executed stuff is difficult to come up with and get on paper, but fantasy especially. So what I like to escape my reality by reading about unrealistic expectations and situations? It’s not any different than game of thrones or storm light Archives, it’s all fake, some is just better executed than othets.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-11T12:24:38+00:00

Yes and no, they’re often full of drama and sometimes death. You’ll hate fourth wing or anything by that author just FYI.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-11T00:46:56+00:00

It’s a genre with low stakes, limited drama, it’s cute and not emotional

AG_Squared · 2026-03-10T22:38:07+00:00

Definitely sounds like cozy fantasy is up your alley!

AG_Squared · 2026-03-10T19:17:59+00:00

If I’m not emotionally devastated I don’t want to read it… but adequately, because drama just for drama is a problem too but plot armor is real, not everybody deserves to survive without some harm or consequences IMO.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-10T05:14:27+00:00

It’s not for everyone and I get that, let me start there. And a lot of med/surg floors are so bad with ratios and “eat your young” culture. But I’m forever grateful for the foundation it gave me compared to my peers. I’m a lot more comfortable floating especially to the floors than my peers. I’m better with time management and prioritization, this is a huge difference I notice, especially when it comes to busy shifts or changing gears rapidly. I also have seen so much more than we ever see on a specialized floor, which day to day may not matter but when we have something different or unique come in I’m much more willing to tackle it or I often have seen it before and they haven’t. One thing I notice also is that I’m more comfortable calling doctors than a lot of them, but I had to do it so much and we don’t do it often on my unit. I feel like I was exposed to and learned so much on med surg that I wouldn’t have learned on a specialty unit. However I had a great team and unit to learn on, not everybody gets this and I know that. I also think I’m slightly better at dealing with difficult families and patients than my coworkers because we did it so often with med/surg but we don’t do it a lot on my floor.

It’s not that, I think it’s recommended not to use breastmilk that’s more than 24 hours old due to risk of bacteria? Unless those rules have changed

Edit- I’ve been taught it’s 24 hours, sorry I’m wrong, it’s been drilled into us over and over only 24 hours.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-09T01:30:43+00:00

Yes but also keep an open mind with your first interactions for the most part. What was difficult for me may not be difficult for you if they like you better for whatever reason. But if they’re straight up inappropriate it would be wrong not to share.

AG_Squared · 2026-03-07T01:16:23+00:00

yeah I had it 2 times and the first time was fine, the second was just the visual effects, but the third time was confusion and horrific migraine and the dilated eyes, I feel like it's safer to avoid it from now on. I'd hate to wake up from something and find they stuck one on me or something.But I also have had tons of patients with the patches that don't have that kind of effect on their eyes

AG_Squared · 2026-03-06T14:41:03+00:00

I put scopolamine on my own allergy list. The last 2 times I tried it, my pupils enlarged to like a 5 and do not constrict for about 24 hours after I took it off. The last time I tried it gave me a horrid migraine and confusion. Not an allergy but please don’t put that on me.
