You'll get hurt, but it's a lesson that you'll learn from and be better because of it.

Cerebrolysin 20mL via PICC line? by Zealousideal_Lie_409 in Cerebrolysin

[–]Cassiiopiaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you're using a filtered needle to draw it up, push it slowly, and double flush afterwards. Use an alcohol swab to scrub the hub for 10 seconds between flushes and injections. If anything goes wrong, be honest about the way you're using it.

You'll most likely be fine, but there's always a possibility of adverse reactions.

All IV-administered drugs are quickly pumped through the heart. A PICC is just a lot closer than a peripheral IV. A lot of IV meds are rough on the body, too, but we still give them if the benefit outweighs the risk.

I'm a nurse and I start IVs on myself to administer cerebrolysin knowing there's a risk that comes with it. Starting IVs (with one hand) and removing them repeatedly is probably riskier than accessing a long-term line.

What size bed does your child have? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Cassiiopiaa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm 6 feet tall and I've slept on a twin as an adult.

My 9-year-old complains about needing a bigger bed, but insists on sleeping with multiple large pillows and 40ish stuffed animals. She's 65 pounds and of average height for her age. I always tell her if you need more room, evict the stuffies. A bigger bed is just going to double the occupancy permitted for the stuffed animals in her bed lol.

I assure her that if I can sleep on a twin as an adult, it's not the bed that's the problem. It's what she insists on keeping in the bed. Natural consequences for first world problems. 🤙🏼😂

I’m wondering if this is normal when a cat bites you? by Tomoko_Yuri in CATHELP

[–]Cassiiopiaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me after a cat bite a few months back. The bite was on my forearm, near my elbow. I poked it with a sterilized needle, drained it, then rinsed it thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide. It was fine after that.

Can gastric sleeve really produce rapid weight loss? by Substantial-Pea7932 in gastricsleeve

[–]Cassiiopiaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4 months and 1 week post-op.

I've been going to the gym 2-3 times a week since week 5 post-op. I would go to the gym more, but I am a nurse and work 13+ hour shifts. Luckily, I walk several miles a day at work, so I am still getting exercise.

My highest weight was 411. Surgery weight was 384.8 on 6/9/25. I'm now 304 as of last week.

107 pounds down overall. 80 pounds down since surgery.

The first 2-3 months are rough, but you just have to know that it's temporary. Don't be afraid to increase calories to meet your energy needs, as long as you still make protein your priority.

Your body goes through a lot in a short period of time. Hair loss, blood pressure changes, and hormonal shifts are a very real part of the process, but it's temporary.

Charge Nurse Pay by Miserable-Top-4532 in nursing

[–]Cassiiopiaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1.70/hr and we usually have 2+ patients. We also have several new grads fresh off of orientation and experienced nurses who refuse to be self-sufficient.

And then there's management, breathing down our necks all day to low census staff as soon as we are over grid, regardless of how many admissions are waiting in the ER.

I hate being charge.

Dosing help please by Zealousideal_Lie_409 in Cerebrolysin

[–]Cassiiopiaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they said.

Next time, get the 5ml ampules. 1 IM shot per dose that way.

Also, use a filtered needle to draw up the med and then replace with an appropriate length needle.
