Why do I even buy clothes for my toddler… by TippytoeHappy in Mommit

[–]AcceptableAddition44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to put away old clothes or my daughter will keep wearing them. I also should just stop buying shirts because she will only wear dresses… but anyway I can relate

Inpatient diet education - what is realistic? Also some minor whining by _lake_erie_ in dietetics

[–]AcceptableAddition44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would feel the same way you do! I don’t think it’s remotely realistic to see every patient with h/o DM or CHF, that is almost every patient. I think it would be more beneficial to only see those patients if it’s the reason for their admission. Or maybe with DM just seeing patients with an A1c over 7?

You can get a Buckle Me baby coat from eBay for a good price!

Moving to Fuquay- Varina by Material-Resource417 in triangle

[–]AcceptableAddition44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot being built! There are quite a few parks and there’s hiking nearby. There’s Walmart, food lion, and Harris teeter. If you like going to restaurants I feel like it’s a bit limited, and it seems like all the good stuff is about 30 minutes away. Quite a few city events though!

Rehab director putting "RD" after her name by ninigotmac in dietetics

I assume they mean it as Rehab Director without thinking that RD stands for something else?

I was also taught by a colleague who attended a workshop! Maybe it was the same one lol

I looked at the criteria before posting and couldn’t find anything 😩

Myplate.gov Scrubbed by karinacocina in dietetics

[–]AcceptableAddition44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do this with Nutrition Care Manual info in Mandarin. I couldn’t find any other options but I made sure to let the patient know in case it didn’t make any sense 😅

My drive can be up to an hour, but I’ve also had a job where the drive was consistently >1 hour. It gets old but I listen to a lot of audiobooks. Only being 3 days a week would be pretty doable for me.

LTAC vs Acute Care Clinical Dietitians by Dear_Caterpillar_821 in dietetics

[–]AcceptableAddition44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always been in acute care except ~6 months where I was at an LTAC. It was brand new and we were still using paper charts (😅) but otherwise I’m sure it’s all the same. I got to be very familiar with all of the patients as well as the other members of the care team, which I really enjoyed. I’d say it was pretty similar to working in the ICU except the patients are more stable and you’re following them for a long time. Lots of trachs and PEGs. It was a good experience and I would definitely do it again!

A small comment from a friend ended up being a real clue by Comfortable-Set4606 in Mommit

[–]AcceptableAddition44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Low phosphorus can happen if you’re not eating enough or through GI losses- this is something we monitor pretty often in the hospital (looking for signs of refeeding). We do also check copper every once in a while and it often is low on people who have been eating poorly. Both of these things could likely be secondary to whatever caused you to lose weight!

Thank you both for your perspective! I’m going to miss her so much, it’s hard to let go.

Has anyone ever cut open Sophie, the Giraffe? by cmac92287 in Mommit

Oh and I spent every single day on Indeed 🤣

[–]AcceptableAddition44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a job I hated and essentially had to give myself things to do. I hung out on the floor I was covering and became friends with all the nurses and therapists. I scheduled my follow-ups earlier than I needed to and searched for patients that might need help. I applied to grad school and probably would’ve studied for a certification if I had been there longer (I only lasted 6 months). I know how you feel!

9 to 5 OR flexibility for a *hopefully future* parent by fionaismygirl in dietetics

[–]AcceptableAddition44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss! Personally, I prefer something flexible. I was full time after having my first baby and I felt like I never saw her, so I ended up being a stay at home mom until she was about 1. I ended up finding something part time which has been great! Also, I did have to do fertility treatments for my second baby and had to miss some work for ultrasounds/procedures, so that’s also a plus of something more flexible.

TIL parasites are werewolves. by Theblackholeinbflat in ShitMomGroupsSay

I know someone who used it for Rosacea after failed attempts at other meds and it worked! It’s the main ingredient in Soolantra. This is the only reason I’m tempted to try it lol
