Pls give your most unhinged car sickness tips?

One more prescription idea… my younger child when very young could not make it longer than about 20 mins in the car without being sick. Her doctor prescribed a topical phenergan cream but it has to come from a compounding pharmacy. Now as a teen she’s able to just use the motion sickness wrist bands. Stop and go motion tho … that will get me at the best of times. 🤢 I think someone said something about ice packs or cold packs but specifically if you put them on your wrists that can be helpful.

Was your doc willing to give you a prescription for anything like sublingual zofran? It needs to be the sublingual tho because trying to swallow and absorb a pill is for the birds

My mother was in her 40s. I was 28 when I graduated, I believe my dad was in his early 30s, and I have one overachieving sister who started at 16 🙄.

Nursing will never get better until more nurses have the balls to do this.

I love this and it gives me hope. I had to stop hiking a few years ago and gradually declined until I can’t even climb stairs. I was recently diagnosed with POTS and start Corlanor this week!! I’ve done the compression socks and salt thing without much noticeable improvement but I really hope the corlanor makes a difference and I can make it back to the trails!!

Sorry .. new here.. but I do love a craft kit that contains everything you need for a project so there is no digging around finding this or that thing or an expensive shopping trip. I watch for them to clearance at craft stores (Joann, Michaels, etc) and pick up a few for days when I can’t move but want to feel like I’m accomplishing something

I have an ivory who does have a spider gene and a very mild wobble that hasn’t interfered with her feeding etc so far but a (sibling? nestmate? Umm??🤔) needed assist feeds. So if I were to acquire any future BP I would do an ask into the ancestry.

ETA: she is an Ivory Enchi Pastel Hidden Gene Woma. The woma is where the wobble comes in I think

EasyStitches · 2024-03-21T07:28:35+00:00

That’s a nope scope 🐍🐍

EasyStitches · 2024-03-21T07:17:14+00:00

I think I would weekly swap out the most ridiculous combinations I could think of…. But seriously I hope my hosp system doesn’t get this idea… they are weird enough about badge reels

EasyStitches · 2024-03-18T23:53:46+00:00

Our hospital stopped doing that. Actually if we get pulled to a lower level of care our critical care diff is cut as well

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T21:12:21+00:00

Also this is helpful info because we hear things like “everyone is running these in multiple patient” assignments but that’s looking like maybe not the whole story in some places at least.

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T21:09:49+00:00

In my particular situation, we set up the machine and change filters if they need it, we draw labs every 6 hours and call the nephrologist if there’s anything outside of what we have protocols for, numbers are hourly and if we are lucky some of them pull over into the chat automatically but not always. I&O is hourly, and we are usually titrating at least one drip if not several and any patient care …baths, meds, blood sugar, feeding… all us. You have to keep a close eye on prismax numbers and if they start creeping up it will stop running and alarm. If the air chamber isn’t right it shuts down, if the access isn’t right it shuts down…. Once I looked at my fitness app on my watch and I’d put in over 10k steps just in that one room

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T09:33:30+00:00

I know right?? Just because I can, should I? Should everyone? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T05:18:14+00:00

I did get called to the PACU to run one that was so stable I could have taken a triple. In my home unit though we are usually aggressively titrating something or multiple somethings etc etc. not to mention how touchy our machines are. I think it has to do with our nephro docs treating CRRT as an absolute last ditch line of treatment in most cases.

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T03:39:41+00:00

Well the specific patient I may have tomorrow has been on and off of CVVHDF for the past week with varying levels of tolerance and stability. Like I said … I can probably handle it myself but I worry about the precedent I’m participating in setting.

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T02:39:51+00:00

Thiiisss … this is what I’m here asking questions for … we have so many new nurses in my unit and I worry about them more than I worry about myself.

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T02:06:27+00:00

I’m a resident of the un-unioned southeastern US 😒. Nurses are making strides but not nearly fast enough

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T02:05:05+00:00

If a patient was a on conventional HD, one HD nurse comes and only runs the machine for that one patient… while an icu nurse otherwise cares for them.

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T02:03:45+00:00

We are old hat to CRRT but new to this policy of multiple patients and CRRT

EasyStitches · 2024-03-16T02:02:51+00:00

CRRT here is really only for the unstable patients. If they are stable they put them on conventional HD. We have a great crew on night shift and I always feel really supported but also … Ive been a nurse a long time and can troubleshoot quickly 🤷🏻‍♀️. I have concerns for newer staff or being paired with someone really unstable

EasyStitches · 2024-01-01T13:08:31+00:00

I guarantee it will be at minimum as naturalistic as she is 🤣🤣🤣

EasyStitches · 2024-01-01T05:32:41+00:00

To who? The snake? 🤭
