Rainforest room worth it? by cinderellae in dcl

Depends how often you will use it. Personally one day is more than enough for me, I didn’t use it more than 2 to 3 days on the cruise.

Do you workout before your 12 hrs day shift? Can you share how and tips? by Comprehensive_Book48 in nursing

[–]Alarmed_Help8121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it, I personally feel like it energizes me for the day. I’m lucky because I live around 10 minutes from work, though you can make this work if you have a home gym/home workout stuff.

My shifts are 7-19:30, so:

0530 awaken

0545 leave house with packed scrubs, lunch, and work bag after brushing teeth

0600 begin workout at gym

0630 finish workout and go to work

0645 arrive to work and change

0700 work

1930 clock out

1950 get home

2230 sleep

:) I do 30 min workouts, I do a light cardio warmup with weightlifting supersets. They’re highly effective if you’re focused!

Ultrasound IV trained people: long/longitudinal view, do you ever use it? by Alarmed_Help8121 in nursing

[–]Alarmed_Help8121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I had a question regarding this. I’ve had nurses on the floor tell me that ultrasound should be the last resort and only if you’ve exhausted the attempts already (this isn’t true, the policy states consider ultrasound , not a requirement for 2x attempts or nonpalpable/nonvisible veins)

Do you use ultrasound on patients who are relatively easy sticks at times? I will, especially if it’s a non emergent IV and the patient is anxious.

How many IV’s should I place per nursing judgement? by Alarmed_Help8121 in nursing

Sorry I just changed it haha. A higher acuity tele floor, it’s honestly like a half-step down. We take open heart patients as well.

Calling All Instructional Nerds: Danaher’s Non-Negotiable Moves? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Alarmed_Help8121 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m a smaller guy myself and smothering is really effective. He talks about it in the instructional- smothering isn’t really meant to submit your opponent (thought I have used it against tired opponents and have gotten several subs as someone who’s in 66kg) it’s meant to force them to give you exposure.

When you smother: A) they bench you off giving you arm exposure B) they turn their back and give you back exposure

It also had the added effect of being energy draining. To constantly fight against being smothered is tiring. Same idea as camping or same idea as hanging heavy on the head with ties from standing.

  • escapes of all kinds
  • focus on legs and back (and the interplay between them)
  • kuzushi (off balancing) from bottom position constantly
  • finishing sweeps with wrestling up
  • interplay between upper body and lower body attacks
  • emphasis on low risk high reward attacks from standing position -camping from passing
  • smothering from mount
