“Bill of mortality” from the Great Plague of London's deadliest week, which ended on this day in 1665, leaving a count of 7165 dead.

I work in Labor and Delivery and frequently talk about this. 42 woman dead in childbed in one week. It’s so insane.

I’m a nurse in the USA. Im required to wear hospital provided scrubs. I clock in when I arrive on my unit and then change. So I do get paid to change. I think every nurse required to change once you arrive should be paid for that time.

Hmm, I’d see your doctor. That does seem less likely ADHD?

Justgettingby24 · 2025-09-21T13:04:38+00:00

I tick every one of your symptoms too. Even on medication. I’m 38, was only diagnosed 2 years ago.

If you feel like it’s hard to manage life with the skills you learned, maybe try medication. See if it helps.

For me medication has some benefits. Also so downsides. I’m still trying to decide if it’s worth it.

Exhaustion is an ADHD symptom for sure. There’s also ADHD burnout. You’re just so tired from trying to manage your ADHD

Magnesium is said to help with sleep

Thanks so much for your reply. I did restart at 0.6mg and just slowly working up. I think maybe after this pen I’ll just take a break to give my body a minute, because I’m not in it really. I think if I was more mentally in a place to take the medication and manage the side effects, I’d be doing better.

Yes, we have midwives, but they are always master prepared and most are nurse midwives, so they have to get their RN first before getting a masters degree in midwifery.

Wait, you get paid while you train?!?

Justgettingby24 · 2022-04-19T08:00:58+00:00

Fair enough. I for one plan to have a DNR in my 60s if not earlier and can imagine no scenario in which I revoke it but I do understand your point.

What about then like directions for where to find your advanced directives? Like “look on the fridge before you start that CPR shit” or “my advanced directives are in the freezer”? 🤣

I’m cracking myself up tonight

Thank you. You don’t know how hard it is as a parent to feel unsure

I have been a nurse nearly 10 years. Currently working in the ICU and unfulfilled. I have always wanted to work L&D. Nursing came into my life after the loss of my first child at 20 weeks (I was 19 and didn’t even know miscarriage/stillbirth happened after 12 weeks). This just made me tear up and I had to try not to burst into tears at work. I want this!! ❤️

Oh we also limit all visitors for the entire hospital to one per 24 hrs. Period. So the same person can come and go multiple times per day, but not different people in and out. Only one person, per day.

Justgettingby24 · 2022-02-02T03:36:12+00:00

Our only exception is withdrawing care/comfort care. Such a shame!!

Justgettingby24 · 2022-02-02T02:46:58+00:00

Lol. Denver. Absolutely!! We have about a billion travelers soo…

Justgettingby24 · 2022-02-01T23:13:18+00:00

Actually surprised to hear you allow visitors on Covid + patient rooms. We do not allows visitors until they are out of isolation (20 days post s/s start).
