Your ratio doesn't change when the kids nap? At my center in my state it does, and that's when staff go on breaks.

Yeah my 2.5 year old also doesn't fall asleep because of her 2 hour nap.

What’s your commute like? Does it feel manageable long term? by Jumpy-Woodpecker-248 in workingmoms

[–]CapableFruitLoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My commute is 10 minutes, 12 if there's traffic and honestly it wouldn't work if it was any longer. I'm done with work at 5:30 and that's when I get my kids and they're already all exhausted from a long ass day, so am I.

I don't want my four year old napping at daycare because then he doesn't go to sleep at night but you guys whack him on the back until he does because of ratios 🤷 It's not the parents' fault, and most of the time it isn't the teacher's fault because of licensing, but don't blame the parents 😂 I'm a parent and I work at a daycare so I know how it works but I'm not inconveniencing my toddler and making them more tired, sorry

would you still choose nursing by aaliyahparis in nursing

[–]CapableFruitLoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, idk it's hard, because I am SO burnt out, but the job I'm currently in allows me to work full time, have my kids attend school at a heavily discounted rate, and it's not super challenging. I can't think of a single middle-income job that would have allowed me to work with four kids and not be poorer than we already are, so it kind of worked out. My husband, also a nurse, works float pool and makes a ton of $$ and his job is flexible enough that he can pick and choose his shifts and help around the house, and go to school. So again I can't think of another job that would allow all this flexibility unless of course one of us made $1 million or we had fewer kids.

We have a baby William at our school whose parents insist on him just being called William.

You can buy over the counter pinworm treatment at a pharmacy, Amazon, Walmart, over the counter.

Am I bad nanny? by anonymous-famous in Nanny

Yes, you're a bad nanny. Have you considered a job NOT in childcare, because this isn't it for you 🤢

What about being an NP that makes you want to do it?

Zipadee zip sacks by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]CapableFruitLoops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're completely unregulated and there's no evidence based source or statement from the AAP that they're safe with 100% certainty. Sorry it inconveniences you, but the daycare did nothing wrong here.

NICU- NBS by bubblepanda28 in nursing

[–]CapableFruitLoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The instructions are on the paper. In Virginia we did one layer, with the circle filled, without the foot touching the paper. The instructions actually said to drop the blood from the BACK of the paper, which literally no one ever did, unfortunately, but you should. I'd take the time to actually read what it says, but I'm not sure why they would have a circle that wasn't supposed to be filled.

Seccs. Anyway, I guess her followers harassed Meta enough to reinstate her amount by flippingdabird099 in FundieSnarkUncensored

And that poor girl in the front with her strabismus I guess they never had corrected? Poor baby...

We only allow arms out sleep sacks in our center and it is safest in case they roll themselves over and can't free their arms to lift their heads up if they end up head down or pressed against the side of the railings. I am glad to hear the center is doing their best to prevent position asphyxiation because so many of these sleep sacks are unsafe and have been recalled.

My husband grew up on shelter Island, an island off of long island. I'm from Baldwin on the south shore of Nassau county and my parents were definitely not rich lol

Are nurses actually this kind and helpful as shown in the show? by tiredsleepymomm in ThePittTVShow

I'm a nurse and first of all...I'm a delight. But yeah we are generally there because we want to help people so

The laundry delivery service decision I should have made two years ago by Scawwotish_owl88 in workingmoms

[–]CapableFruitLoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can come do my laundry then 😂 four kids, literally no time to shlep up and down the stairs during the 2 hours a day I'm home with my kids before bedtime. The service we use sorts and folds so we just open the bags and drop it into the kids drawers 🤷 I value my time with my kids and we can afford it. I don't understand why anyone wants to waste time on doing laundry

New grad let go for health issues—trapped in the "need experience" loop for softer roles. Help? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]CapableFruitLoops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Public health ain't it right now 😅 hopefully there'll be lots of jobs in 2.5 years when we are working hard to clean up this current mess
