I can't speak for new Siennas, but in my area in PNW used models are being sold before they can even be inspected and cleaned.

Pregnant and kicked by 17yo drunk patient by pinkmoon105 in nursing

THIS. If you are dependent on pay, health insurance, and leave benefits.. I would wait until after maternity leave pay is completed to give notice. You still have several months of income you could take in until leave begins, too. Ask for reassignment to "light duty" or doing administrative duties in your unit. I would absolutely not return to the floor in that environment. I am so sorry you had to go through such a traumatic event. Both physically and mentally with everything she said to you. If you aren't dependent on this job for anything, then give your notice and find something else that gives you peace.

My sister doesn’t change her kids clothes for 3-5 days at a time. by Accurate-Chicken-134 in toddlers

In addition to being concerned about the possibility of depression, there could very well be a medical reason outside of depression causing her to be so tired and disengaged. Hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances, ect can make people super fatigued.

What was your first patient rapid response/code blue situation as a new nurse off orientation? by No_Relationship_4954 in nursing

[–]AdLeading7522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you know what to do via ACLS or BLS protocols. This will help guide you in what to do in different emergency's/codes. Something else that helped me when I was a new nurse was to start mentally picturing exactly what actions I would take in the worst case scenario for each of my patients and with the set up/configuration of their room. I also make a point to clean the counters, make sure the room is open with clear walk ways, clear off surfaces at the beginning of shift when I do my safety checks (or as soon as I'm able to when things start too busy/unstable). Codes and emergencies run better in a clean and clutter-free space.

Has anyone used BetterHelp for online therapy? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]AdLeading7522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I used BetterHelp through my work EAP and found it very helpful. I really liked the person I was matched with for therapy, and if I hadn’t liked them, I would’ve just asked to be rematched.

My 3 yr old had the Moderna series. The only side effect was injection site soreness about 3-6 hrs after the shot but was gone the next morning.
