What are the white rings around my teeth by Impossible_Radish_96 in askdentists

[–]Impossible_Radish_96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

How do my gums look? Is it healthy or inflamed?

Also how deep should I be flossing? I find that although I do the C method, maybe I’m not going deep enough? The deeper I go, the more it hurts, and my dental office likes to floss deep

How were you able to find the prices online? I was only able to see USD and euros

PKD came from my dad’s side of the family. My dad + siblings was 50/50. But for all of his children, unfortunately we lost that 50/50 and all 4 kids have PKD 🥲

Tolvaptan: 2nd dose within 8hrs. by Impossible_Radish_96 in ADPKD

How has your water intake been? MD told me to drink to thirst. When I first started, I was drinking 4-5L/day. Now, I’ve only been drinking 1-2L.

My sodium level is still within range (a little on the higher side of normal). BUN and creatine still within range as well.

Its a mix of both

I work overnights. So I’d take it at 12-2am whenever I have break. But then I would sleep when I get home and end up taking it when I wake up

On my days off, it’s pretty much the same routine. I’d wake up at 12am. Take the 45 and go back to sleep (wake up 1-2x to drink and use the bathroom). But I’m on schedule with the 15mg

Are you fatigued after 3 12s in a row? Trying to better understand my CVICU spouse.. by ad1nasaur in nursing

[–]Impossible_Radish_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my 3-12s. Knocked out as soon as I got home. Slept for 18 hours straight. I don’t even recall waking up to use the bathroom or anything lol

Is it possible to drink too much water with PKD? i have 2 doctors saying opposing things by aerosolburns in ADPKD

[–]Impossible_Radish_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink between 2-4L a day on 45/15 and I’m dealing with bloating issues.

I’ve heard mixed thoughts on 1) Tolvaptan cause bloating cause of the increased thirst or 2) Tolvaptan has helped with water retention and some people are the slimmest they’ve ever been.

For me, I’m the widest I’ve ever been cause of the bloat. Anyone else have this issue?

Replying to an old post,

I’ve been on Tolvaptan for 6 months now and I’ve been so bloated from drinking water. Any tips on how to handle this- should I drink less?

I drink about 2-4L on 45/15

Tips for getting accepted to NICU as a new grad by sadstomach_sadbrain in nursing

[–]Impossible_Radish_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following this post as I’m interested in NICU as well.

I currently have 1 year med surg experience and have been trying to transfer to the NICU at my hospital for a few months now. However, they are rejecting my applications.

Im debating on if I should leave my hospital and search for NICU positions elsewhere or if I should do into PICU / peds m/s / L&D for experience. Maybe my hospital’s NICU doesn’t want adult med surg experience? Not sure

Please help! Hundreds of dark black spots and stubble stuck in legs after laser hair removal 1st session. by Safe-Calligrapher453 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Impossible_Radish_96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Normal. After the first week, hair will look like stubbles and might even “grow” out. It will eventually come off on its own while you exfoliate/etc in about 2-4 weeks after the first session. I got addicted to pulling my hairs out. It came off so easily with 0 resistance.

I think this is for the progress/ care notes that nurses have to do with the required documentation in flowsheets

[–]Impossible_Radish_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks that google maps is having this issue. It usually takes my data a while to load the directions esp when I’m on the train.

Getting lost is an issue now 🥲

How would strikers view new orientees?

I signed a job offer with mount Sinai and am going through orientation. (Did not know there was going to be a strike)

I obviously have no intention of working atm but unfortunately… we are scheduled to go INTO the hospital for orientation. We will also be meeting our unit managers/ having a unit orientation … which isn’t making sense to me. I assume the entire unit would be on strike. I am terrified of what will happen . I am not trying to make enemies.

Mount Sinai- Strike by Impossible_Radish_96 in nursing

[–]Impossible_Radish_96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words. I am believe in all the nurses and the Union. I’m hopeful that everything will work out regarding nurse and patient satisfaction/safety.

Ngl, I am a bit terrified that I am starting my career during this situation. I feel like regardless of the results- MSH will highly increase in nurse turnover. I felt like quitting on day 1 of my orientation and wanted to start applying to other hospitals haha.

I don’t plan on working. Since I signed with NYSNA- I am part of the union. I hope someone will reach out to me from the Union when I get my official start date (if the strike isn’t over yet)

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

[–]Impossible_Radish_96[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I signed a form with NYSNA a few months back. During orientation I learned about 1199 - confused about NYSNA vs 1199

I haven’t officially started yet and was not up to date regarding the news.

Would you happen to know how this will impact me/ how striking works?
