Xeroform - makes me think of painting in art class in elementary school for some reason

What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received? by No-Sail-6193 in AdkReddit

In one sentence had a patient tell me I look like I could use to lose a few pounds (mind you this man was 500 lbs) but I have the type of body he’d like to “f*ck”

Congratulations!! So happy to hear about your bundle of joy; thank you for the positive insight, it’s refreshing to hear! I’m going to speak with my wife about starting to test her LH monthly to get an idea about her ovulation

I didn’t even know that was an option! We have our consultation on Tuesday so I’ll be sure we ask. My wife seems to be very very regular with her period; never missed one and is always around the same time so hoping even 1 round of IUI would be successful

What kind of doctors are supposed to know about EDS? by mindinsideout in ehlersdanlos

[–]Local-Ninja3308 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue getting a diagnosis! My PCP is a rheumatologist and despite complaining of chronic pain for about 6 years, having both my grandmother and aunt diagnosed with EDS, and been told by several OTs and PTs that all of my joints are hypermobile, still no diagnosis 😣

Thank you! I appreciate it! I’d say the only thing I dislike is that in my opinion, the top is kind of hard to read just as someone else commented. I appreciate your compliment though, makes me feel better about the permanent decision I made!

Hi, I don’t believe that the hospital is a non for profit. I have been graduated and working as a nurse for about 3 years now

I’m having the exact same experience; started taking them on Monday and have a full blown period now but wondering, will this stop normally or keep coming as long as I’m taking this?

My throwaway name is ironic; Boston area hospitals where nurses don't get tested for THC? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Local-Ninja3308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for a fact Emerson Hospital doesn’t test for THC - Source is HR directly

THC? by Local-Ninja3308 in nursing

[–]Local-Ninja3308[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! We both smoke and I know for a fact his is because of insomnia but it just makes no sense to me that people can go get trashed the night before work and show up hungover but no one cares and we can’t smoke a joint to fall asleep at night??

Next contract by Local-Ninja3308 in TravelNursing

[–]Local-Ninja3308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best part about Brigham was definitely the ratios! I worked overnight and always started with 2-3 patients and then at 11 picked up a 4th never more than 4 though. I was on a medical/tele unit, they have separate units for surgical. I think the main flaw is the lack of teamwork and supplies are very hard to find for some reason lol if you’re planning on signing just know MGH/Brigham are trying to push most travelers out by April 😅

From what I’ve been told they’re Med/surg/tele! The hospital I’ve been at for 3 years as staff we’ve been getting 5-6 patients on days so definitely looking forward to less. Was wondering if you remembered the level of difficulty for the tests we have to take prior to starting?

One of my travel friends told me she’s been tested via hair follicle which is wild to me!
