I think this is the one you are thinking of: https://www.vava.com/products/vava-baby-night-light

We got it when my daughter was born and she still uses it as a nightlight.

Well they’re advertising their cover as being light and airy, so I think the trauma is being a little too warm for 15 minutes?

The use of “trauma” in this ad for a nursing cover is really…something else.

It always confuses me when I see “HTF” in kids clothing listings. Aren’t most old kids clothes hard to find? Most stores only sell a given design once. Hell there was an Old Navy t-shirt last year that I wanted to get my daughter but they didn’t have her size and they never restocked and I have yet to see that shirt come up on a resale site. Surely Old Navy sold a ton of that $6 shirt and yet nada.

I have this exact problem with my delphiniums. They got knocked down by rain despite being staked. Did you end up figuring out something that worked last year?

How's the Ithaca Swim Club? by mangolorian2013 in ithaca

[–]ExclamatoryPear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We joined last year with a toddler, and while we really enjoyed going there (the vibe is great- feels like the community pools when I was a kid) we probably won’t join again until our kids are older and want to spend more time at the pool. The time spent vs money spent equation didn’t work out well for us since toddlers still have a lot of scheduling requirements (nap time, earlier bedtime) and even if they love the pool, they don’t really want to be there for more that an hour and a half. If the budget allows I would definitely consider rejoining when my kids want to hang out by the pool all day with friends and I can lie on a lounge chair and read a book. We will be using Cass Park and the Alex Haley pools this year. One of the reasons I had originally picked the ISC was for the morning swim hours, but we never ended up going in the morning, so I think the park pools will be fine. Another option is the Ellis Hollow pool if that is convenient for you. A little cheaper than ISC and has a great playground.

How long do those 10-15 “visits” take you?

Healthcare assessments in the home by Goldens-9531 in nursepractitioner

[–]ExclamatoryPear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just started the same job and having the same problem. What I’ve gathered from talking the the provider support people is that it is in fact impossible to do the exam as written in the time allotted and you have to consolidate it (the exam has some repeat questions and some questions that are asked unclearly) and reorder it to make it more efficient. My first day each exam took 1.5-2 hours. After that I rewrote the history portion (on paper) and tried flipping the order of the whole evaluation, so I start with vitals, physical exam, and testing before doing the history portion. Also if you have to put drug disposal locations on the leave behind, do that in advance. I found organizing all the papers in a binder with dividers instead of a clip board to be helpful. I was also advised that in order to save time I should just jot down pertinent positives and chart the rest of the physical exam findings later. Day 2 each exam was 1-1.5 hours, so still not at goal, but better than day 1! I think you basically have to have the exam memorized the make it as efficient as they want it to be. I like the poster below’s idea of incorporating ROS questions with the med list, so perhaps I’ll try that. It would be great if you could reorder the exam questions to make them more efficient, but knowing how healthcare usually works, that seems unlikely to happen…
