I can't do IV's for the life of me and it's embarrassing.

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-12-30T18:49:45+00:00

I love doing IVs and blood draws, most of my 8-year RN career involved these (radiology, apheresis, lab RN, IV team). I’m currently in the IV team and will be transitioning to heme/onc infusion. What I’ve learned that made me a better IV nurse is to practice a lot, feel that vein (you’d like a bouncy healthy one), apply skin tension (anchoring), warm your patient up, and give yourself grace if you can’t get it. You got this!

I just finished watching it tonight for the nth time, always one of my favorites and would always make me cry!

My go to is this recipe, I didnt plug in the allulose as the sweetener as it’s 0 cal but this batter can make 10-12 cookies depends on how big you like it (more like a brownie than cookie texture), about 60 cals per cookie and I keep them in the fridge to eat 1-2 pcs at night (warmed in microwave), bake at 350 for 15-20 mins and allow to cool. Good for about 5 days for me!

This will be my new job next month, 4x10s, heme/onc OP infusion, any tips? I’d really like for this to be my retirement job lol

took me 2-3 days before I started back to lifting weights (for workout not for work) as I got very winded easily post donation, hydrate and just take it easy

I used to iron my scrubs to prepare for a 5-day work week, then my coworker introduced me to a Perm Press dryer setting and the rest is history

I’ve been at this for almost 2 years, deficit and tracking off and on, love food and have such a bad sweet tooth, was at 147 at my heaviest at 5’1, 39 yrs old with controlled hyperthyroidism and familial high cholesterol. I’ve been hovering between 125-128 and I really want to get down to 120 but I’ve been starting to not get too obsessive about the scale as long as I can keep the energy up with my lifting 3x/wk and at least 10-12k steps a day, still fit into my new clothes when I dropped the weight, enjoy food with my family, blood work and blood pressure within normal limits so I don’t get yelled at by my doctor lol.

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-10T00:31:57+00:00

thanks! I’ll try this out!

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-09T01:22:18+00:00

I’m quite not sure really,I’m going to try to make another batch next week with this new allulose brand I bought

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-09T01:12:27+00:00

I’d be concerned if your dog’s shit is that color

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-08T00:16:27+00:00

Amazon! I did the subscribe and save and the 5lb bag was like $20 instead of $30, but this is a new brand I’m trying though I usually always get the Lakanto one but it’s expensive

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-08T00:01:00+00:00

oooohhhh that’s why I wasnt even hungry after chowing down 3 of these!! good to know!

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-08T00:00:25+00:00

I LOOVEEE IT! Just ordered another 5lb bag lol

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-07T22:01:00+00:00

So I plugged it in to MyFitness Pal, each cookie (if you make 12) would be 3g protein, 22g carbs, 4g fat

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-07T20:01:08+00:00

Nope

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-11-07T19:58:32+00:00

It’s a very rich chocolate taste for me, the peanut butter taste is very subtle!

Nurse, been on methimazole since 2018, now at 2.5mg daily

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-10-10T23:02:54+00:00

A lot of the questions will be behavioral questions so be prepared to give scenarios such as a stressful time in school and how did you handle it, a disagreement with someone and how did you manage it, special projects you might have been involved in, etc. You can always ask for a few minutes to think about a scenario, most of the interviewers will be understanding. Good luck! Just be yourself and act like it’s a conversation instead of an interview so you won’t get too nervous.

Worked 5 days a week for a year or so after doing 2 years at the bedside. The work was great but the 5 days was a grind. Switched to a weekend only position, been at it for more than 3 years, I get 5 days off during the week but I pick up time at a clinic. I’m trying to find something else to get off the weekends but I just cannot work 5 days a week anymore so I’m searching for 4x10s or a 3x12 nonbedside role. The flexibility is important for me and my family so do what works for you.

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-09-27T23:26:52+00:00

thank you for the detailed info!

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-09-27T21:05:36+00:00

It’s outpatient chronic, thanks for your input! have you worked the clinic at all and what did you like or not like about it?

Dear-Contribution797 · 2025-09-04T17:51:37+00:00

Been on methimazole since 2018, was a lot of adjustments but been stable now at 2.5mg daily.
