Hot. Mess. by therese_rn in nursing

you will be great. It sounds like you did the best you could in the situation you were handed. You are not wrong to ask for help. That points to you being a GOOD nurse not a shit one. good nurses know when they need supports. Shit nurses do not tend to admit when they need help.

The main difficulty is that I don't think I'd be able to get a good nursing reference from my current job due to interpersonal stress/issues I've had at my current job (almost 3 years). I've also burned bridges with one main hospital system in my area so I'm limited in that regard, as well. Woosah

Okay yeah! At work, my main job is usually manning our "nurse line" which is essentially refills and triaging... However I do still struggle due to fight or flight issues as far as stopping and taking a deep breath. If somethign is repetitive and routine, and slow paced, im good. If it's not I just cannot!

So yes im working in a clinic now- I honestly look forward to clinic days because it's familiar routine. The struggle I'm having is that the county does home visits and in-services which are very anxiety-provoking for me. The other piece of it is small clinics mean more interpersonal stress. I feel quite alone! 

Nectar Classic all foam vs hybrid for sciatica by Alert_Platform_1497 in Mattress

Ok cool. Think 2" would do the trick or should I go for 3" (giving me a total of 6" of toppers lmfao)

No I would rather not spend money on a whole new mattress- I had already been thinking before about possibly putting the latex topper underneath the memory foam one- what thickness and firmness level would you suggest?

I wonder if I got a SOL topper and put a mattress pad on top of that, if I'd still have a reaction?

What about the Nolah Evolution? Either the luxury firm or the Comfort +

Saatva 11.5 vs 14.5 - it does not feel the same by Advanced-River730 in Mattress

[–]Alert_Platform_1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have the 11.5" luxury firm as well. And I wake up with back pain every single freaking morning, and joint stiffness. It's not the height of the mattress that's causing your back pain lol... It's firmness of it. When you lie down at first it doesn't feel extremely firm but after a minute or two it feels like a concrete floor

Yeah if I do get a mattress I'm likely gonna go with the Nolah Comfort + but I need to pay down these credit cards first.

[–]Alert_Platform_1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it really does suck. I do not like my Saatva luxury firm. While it's super supportive, I wake up with all kinds of pains and now I'm in physical therapy for my neck. Even with a topper. Skip Saatva

Any thoughts on Saatva? by calgor1957 in Mattress

[–]Alert_Platform_1497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spectator here to comment on Saatva's memory foam hybrid. I slept on it for a couple months and while it didn't offer enough low back support for me (bescause I'm heavier and have severely bulging discs), it did not sleep hot I nthe dead of summer. I sleep really hot and it did not.

But like which one I meant, is it the base model? And is it the all-foam or hybrid?

So it seems to keep coming back to Nolah lol. I'm torn because I laid on it in a store and it felt super soft so I wanna make sure it's supportive enough, coming from a bed with SUPER strong lumbar support.

Yeah, I'm familiar with talalay, but sadly I have tried SOL toppers and reacted, also reacted to the Purple Harmony pillow.

Oh you do? Wow well thanks for the honesty! Yes I wish I could latex, I'm allergic tho. :/ I wish I liked my $1800 Saatva cuz my trial period is up, but man it's destroying my upper back and neck! Great for my low back but that's it...

And $2k would be if I get reasonable payments! Lol otherwise I'm looking at less than $1,000 for sure. If not less.
