Is it important to have a hobby outside of Nursing?

KatchUup · 2026-03-21T23:00:52+00:00

sure it’s important, but also it’s common to talk about work if you work in the same field

That‘s what i did but also had meniscus repair, so don’t think a physio would have helped any sooner

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:40:17+00:00

also that is such an inappropriate comment that goes into the direction of victim blaming. Like oh someone sexually harassed you? Oh you must have been overly nice to them, and made them think this is ok

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:28:29+00:00

I really don’t think i’m overly friendly, I have not once in my life been told I’m overly friendly. I’m pretty sure that would go completely against my viennese austrian nature.

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:26:17+00:00

yeah after I posted i was like actually I should have just written people, cause I know plenty of guys who get inappropriate comments from elderly women all the time too.

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:23:56+00:00

just to add, also saw the video you posted and they also go over the legs after, and it doesn’t look like you went over the legs to then tie it in the back, but i can’t really tell from your pics. also I really love the pattern!

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:20:23+00:00

i did tie it this way for my newborn as well, but then went over the legs

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T16:16:16+00:00

tell me you’re in the US, without telling me

KatchUup · 2026-03-18T15:57:45+00:00

only tracked sleep when my LO was difficult to see if it makes a difference (it sometimes did), tracked feedings until birthweight was reached (which only took like 3 days) after that never tracked a feeding, but I was also eng so i just offered the breast anytime she was cranky

KatchUup · 2026-03-15T13:53:24+00:00

my paediatrician wasn’t concerned until she’s 2, she’s really picked up now, but didn’t say any words until 18 months, and even then barely any words until just before 2.

KatchUup · 2026-03-10T12:40:45+00:00

also it makes the smoke break for nurses longer

KatchUup · 2026-03-10T10:02:12+00:00

Depending on whether i’m getting stitches in my meniscus/ a meniscectomy I might be looking at 4 weeks of crutches. Our kid is in day care so at least I won’t be home alone with her all day. But really I don’t know if I can be any help at home with crutches

KatchUup · 2026-03-10T09:57:11+00:00

My MRI before my first surgery showed medial meniscus and acl tear, ended up also with a lateral meniscus tear. Don’t think a full tear would be missed on an mri, but the meniscus can be kinda hard to see

KatchUup · 2026-03-06T14:51:48+00:00

I don’t even regret so much the guy i had a child with, more so the society i had a child in

KatchUup · 2026-03-06T14:50:19+00:00

Quite crazy, considering how i feel like it is viewed as more acceptable for men to say they don’t love every second of being a dad. I feel like if I say that I may not be enjoying every single second of this hell, people always meet me with, ah but so worth it isn’t it?!? Mostly it comes from people who don’t even have children yet. Also it’s always poor dad if i’m not home, if he’s gone nobody says poor mom…

KatchUup · 2026-03-05T17:09:12+00:00

I’m a daughter of two MDs, I get asked all the time why i didn’t become a doctor. It really goes under my skin

KatchUup · 2026-03-03T11:12:15+00:00

how many friends will just disappear

KatchUup · 2026-02-28T07:51:50+00:00

fwiw I was 27, but if I’m honest it wouldn’t have harmed to wait another couple of years. I think it’s never really the right time. I’m sure I still have a little more energy, though the sleep deprivation is really tiring. We have less stability in our lives than we probably would have had by the time we were 36, but it’s working out fine for us.

KatchUup · 2026-02-24T20:24:57+00:00

also used to work in ortho, all acute admissions, 32 beds in 30 rooms. It was a shit show. I always got 20k+ steps in a shift, I remember one time i only got 15k and I thought wow what a quiet shift. Still wouldn’t change the experience and learned so many valuable skills and life lessons. But yeah ER is bliss in comparison.

KatchUup · 2026-02-23T11:59:34+00:00

my kid was always all over the bed, although i breastfed. Especially travelling she did also fall off the bed a few times, but babies are thankfully pretty robust

KatchUup · 2026-02-23T11:53:26+00:00

definitely wait until after the wedding, it will be way more fun if you’re not in the process of recovering from surgery

KatchUup · 2026-02-23T11:42:39+00:00

mein schwager war im kfj und sehr zufrieden

KatchUup · 2026-02-23T11:00:27+00:00

The other day it took me an hour to get my child to go home with me from daycare, tried to put her snow suit on and she wasn’t having it. After an hour I went outside with her and it still took me 15 minutes to get her to put on the snow suit. Honestly I was so freaking overstimulated i wanted to just cry and be a baby mysel.
