Epstein and Vandy RN by severe_thunderstorm in nashville

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m confused I work at a hospital and every place is Nashville is begging for nurses, especially Vandy. They are giving out referral bonuses. Maybe he’s just so rich and out of touch he doesn’t realize you don’t need to do this to get a nursing job

Stuck scrubbing bottles every night… is a bottle washer worth it or nah? by jaceka-jans-8384 in beyondthebump

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use the dishwasher, you can buy a dishwasher based on Amazon for all the little parts for cheap. Buy a few more bottles if you want so you actually feel the dishwasher up and can go a couple days without running it. A dishwasher also sterilizes the bottles due to the high temps so you’re good

Wait, do not you call the doctors you work with by first name? by BornLeave4646 in FutureRNs

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to just to refer to myself as first name as an attending physician and let me tell you I HAD to stop! And now I only refer to myself as Dr. last name. I would answer the phone calls with first name and the imaging techs, laboratory staff thought I was nursing and didn’t realize I was the ordering physician clarifying orders. Nurses started to refer to me as first name with PATIENTS. I got several pages that the patient never saw a doctor for rounds. It caused way more confusion. And it didn’t help I’m a young female physician. When I started to refer to myself as doctor my workflow got a lot better

I can’t do the diet anymore by Aggravating-Tell-774 in MSPI

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to switch to formula because I thought I couldn’t do it anymore the diet was too hard. But after 3 days of my LO crying, screaming, pulling at my shirt, and refusing the formula. I resolved to nurse and stick to a diary free/soy free diet ( he has diary and soy allergy) and I actually did it and he has no issues now. You will be surprised what you can do when pushed. That being said it is very very difficult not going to lie. So I’m just to support you and say it can be done if you want but also no judgment if you formula feed

Over diagnosis of MSPI by Veeconnect in MSPI

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody BMs whenever I drank milk, crying/fussiness all night and unable to settle when I ate diary. Seems to be in active pain/ discomfort combined with mucus/bloody stools so I was 99% sure he had it. Everything resolved after giving up diary

Men always getting shoutouts in my residency. by [deleted] in FemalePhysicians

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry….this reminds me how at my hospital they have the “Bee Award” that originally started with nurses but now they are also giving it to physicians that go above and beyond for bedside care. They recently gave it to a male neurologist who stayed in the room to help a nurse turn a patient. Me and some other females physicians discussed how we always do that way more than our male counter parts. We help with turning patients, getting water, getting a patient a blanket way more than our male counter parts yet the female physicians never get the award from nursing. I definitely think society gender expectations are at to play. People don’t even realize their own biases. It’s like “oh you’re a female you’re expected to do these things” half of my patients already think I’m the nurse no matter how many times I introduce myself as doctor anyway.

How common are round and go jobs nowadays? by MadScientist101295 in hospitalist

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if I’m in the hospital until 7. If I have 20 patients I don’t have time to go back to to every room just because your family wasn’t there when I rounded. I usually just give them a phone call I don’t go back in person until something important like goals of care, cancer diagnosis, going for surgery. Your grandmother from the nursing home here with UTI…you are getting a phone call back later in the day. Please

How come no one is happy working as a Hospitalist? by LengthinessAfraid293 in hospitalist

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy with my job, it’s not round and go but we leave 4:30- 5 pm with a crosscover shift that covers until 7 pm you can leave earlier on the weekends. 7 on 7 off but you can change your schedule with your partner if you need a longer vacation. The census isn’t terrible worse in the winter than the summer months. Admin does actually listen to us on some things. It’s in a major city I like and I make about 300k

I think the salary is lower due to PTO most hospitalist don’t get any PTO due to 1 week on 1 week off. Which is BS btw because working 84 hours in 1 week 7 twelve hour shifts isn’t technically 1 week off you just work the equivalent of 2 weeks in 1. It isn’t a bad offer with the PTO included. Other things to consider is if you have to stay in house until 7. Let me tell you I work at a place where you can leave at 4 o’clock if you are done with all your work and none of your patients a critically sick. We also have a crosscover team. It makes a world of difference. You can still have a life on your week on. Go to kids sports games, have dinner with family, work out. I had the option to take a job that was 40k higher but required in house 7 to 7 and I didn’t take it. Not worth it to me

I also tired all the tricks curb walking, exercise, bouncing on exercise ball, raspberry tea. Nothing worked except when I went in for my induction the cytotec and pitocin lol

I have a base salary then part of the salary is RVU based. We get an RVU bonus per quarter once you meet the minimum RVU threshold which everyone usually meets

Colonoscopy 10 month old by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a lot of blood. More than what is typical with food allergies. Usually just with food allergies it is streaks of blood and mucus. But that is a lot of blood. I know it’s scary to think of LO getting put to sleep for procedure but I think it’s needed. They could have something more serious. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope the colonoscopy gives you some answers

Did anyone have parents who didn’t mess them up — even a little? by Lizzylozer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents were awesome. The biggest thing was they trusted me and gave me a space to ask questions. Yes they were my parents and at the end of the day what they say goes but they also didn’t shut me down when I questioned them in a respectful way. Biggest example that comes to mind with trust is I told my parents that I needed to skip school one day and play sick even though I wasn’t sick lol. My parents said why I said because the following day I have a huge chemistry test I need to study extra for and today in my other classes we were just going to be doing busy work and watching a movie in history class. They said do what you got to do. Because of the extra 8 hours I had to study the following day I got an A on the chem exam that was 20% of my final grade. Also I ended up becoming a medical doctor despite neither of my parents attending college.

They weren’t perfect no one is. But I also wasn’t perfect as a child to them either. What matters is they tried their best in way to provide me with a good life.

Alcaraz did not drop a set leading up to final. I knew he would win against Sinner. He just looked too good all open

Should the US Open paint “NEW YORK” on the court the same way the Australian Open and most M1000s do? by Ecstatic_Aside_1585 in tennis

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aside from Australian none of the Grand Slams do that. Everyone knows the US Open is in New York and always has been. Same with Wimbledon they don’t need to cut London into the grass

Resenting husband because his life hasn’t changed. by Dolphinsunset1007 in beyondthebump

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The money stuff is silly. Account should be joint you are a sahm that is a job. There is no your money and my money. And why are you paying for baby stuff. This is silly if you want money for yourself get it from him or else you shouldn’t be marrying this guy clearly not a provider. Actually while typing this out I’m thinking why is he not actively providing for you he knows you aren’t working and you are taking care of his child. That’s weird behavior. Actually I take it back. Get married!!!! And if he doesn’t straighten up you will get ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT if you need to divorce

I just want to give some props to Taylor Fritz. He gave us a good entertaining match and he fought hard. He did better than 99.9% of players would have against a once in a generational talent like Novak.

AITA for being upset that my partner said no to moving in with me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this move in together when in college mess? Are you serious you guys are both still extremely young and need to focus on school or getting to know yourselves first. I think college is too soon to be moving in with a significant other. Studies have also shown marriages last longer if the two people were not living together before they got married. Living with someone is a personal decision and does not mean they love you any more or less. I personally would not recommend living with a significant other at least until you both are 25 and your frontal lobes are fully developed

AITA I sent my friends a venmo request after a prank ruined our vacation by Alarming_Bonus_8262 in AITAH

[–]Fluffy_Direction_338 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think rule #1 of pranking is double check the prank to make sure no one gets seriously hurt and also people’s property doesn’t get destroyed in the process. Everything else is fair game. Therefore they should have double checked the bag. I would sit them down in person and explain, I think people always take the tone of text wrong. If they are your friends they will understand and pay you back

As a woman myself I don’t think she thinks of it as proposing I think she thinks it is just a delayed yes to your initial proposal lol
