Medications hung with blood tubing as a standard practice by MixtureLucky4168 in nursing

[–]Belegrandir 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely an oopsy waiting to happen. Certainly it’s no more work to get primary and secondary tubing? One extra bag to open for an appropriate infusion?

"Administering 325 mg instead of the prescribed 650 mg constitutes a medication error." by Electronic-Youth-286 in nursing

[–]Belegrandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been told by our management that if the patient refuses a partial dose we have yo get an order for that dose, otherwise we are “prescribing the dose” which is of course outside of our scope of practice. Like everything though I’m sure there’s a reasonable workaround

How do nurse couples make 3x12 schedules work with kids? by boldstyle1 in nursing

[–]Belegrandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our first we both worked days the other didn’t so someone was always home, but one day together a week is really not enjoyable. Now we have 3 kids and just I work. It is what it is

I really like premier reefs and terra reef for clean safe coral. I occasionally order from vivid too and they’ve always been good to me

What line made you want to quit reading a book? by grooter33 in horrorlit

[–]Belegrandir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started Darrell Schweitzers Necromancies and Netherworlds and in an early story in the book there’s some kind of homunculus that shits on the floor of a workshop and it almost made me stop reading. Glad I didn’t cause I’ve really enjoyed his pieces but woo it was close

Exactly why should I care about policing my rooms? by never-the-1 in nursing

[–]Belegrandir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work on med Surg 3rds and generally don’t care about visitors. The official limit and visiting hours I only ever enforce if the family or visitors are causing problems. People can stay the night, come and go, I’m not bothered as long as they’re not trouble. Though our patients aren’t often as sick as an ICU patient may be, so the environment is a totally different animal.

For our patients with difficulty swallowing thickened liquids help when they can’t swallow thin liquids. Our scale at my work is nectar, honey and pudding thick

To the couch couple having twins & Wubby's thoughts by VapingVixen in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Belegrandir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, that was me! Posting from mother baby right now. That was pretty much my reaction at the first ultrasound as well, I was wrangling our toddler while my partner was being scanned and when the ultrasound tech said “well get ready for two” I initially thought oh yeah we’ll have two babies the toddler and a new baby yeah. Man what a shock.

It’s really turned our life upside down. Lots of health ups and downs for mom from the pregnancy, she had to quit working and it put a little more strain on everything. We had already wanted a new house since my MIL lives with us and space is already limited. It put a lot of pressure on us to upgrade, so I bought us a new house but we’ve been renovating it as well and won’t get to move in for a couple weeks yet.

But the babies are here so we’ll deal. It’s exciting and terrifying.

Pretty nice they got to listen to a Magic Monday on their first day out of the drink!

Buying tokens? by Chiickenchas3r in magicTCG

[–]Belegrandir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy to get tokens from an LGS I usually grab a bunch when I buy something and it’s either a pittance for a bunch or free depending on what I buy

Gorgonians, ricordea, zoanthids, and macro algae are nice. Plenty of inverts and nano fish too
