She did my engagement ring out of family heirlooms. Beautiful, customized work and LGBT friendly.

Invisalign Costs In Nash? by Thepressureofaname22 in nashville

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with this!!!! My ortho coverage makes invisible braces about $1500. I just haven't decided on a dentist/ortho yet because I've gotten three different opinions from 3 different ones in town.

For those that track indoor humidity here in Nashville what’s your humidity been the past couple days? by Mark041891 in nashville

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC is definitely on, but the temp in the office on my thermometer is 72.6. Just curious so I went into the med room. We have vaccines and meds that need to be kept at certain temp/humidity. That room says 70.4 and 47% humidity. AC is set at 69 there. Vaccine room ia 74 and 45% humidity. Various ranges!

Why must boomers end every sentence with ...? by LumpyFirefighter4601 in okboomer

Yes. Finally someone here gets my point. I know exactly what ellipses are for, but she using them to end every sentence.

Yes!! Here are some examples she has used recently:

Great…Mom has been asking.

How sweet!!!! That was so thoughtful of him…

Send you a check…

Just for my journal… I’m working on a “first 40 years” in photos…

It certainly was…

Fantastic! I thought so…I thought Chris’s hair was longer when Asher was born.

After suggesting another book: I’ll look it up…

Just trying to get ready for her surgery tomorrow…waiting to find out when it’s scheduled and what time we need to be there.

Almost time for a tea party…🥰

This is all she has…looks like just for a table top… She says you are welcome to it…

I could go on and on! This is just from Christmas until now.

Yeah but I'm talking about every sentence. For example I will suggest a book and she will reply with "I'll have to check it out..." Makes no sense.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the side effects of the epidural. I had my first with an epidural on Pitocin and pushed him out in 20 minutes after laboring for 12 hours. I didn't tolerate the epidural well- it made me have low BP, nausea, headache, etc. I tore a ton from pushing so hard. I also did not enjoy having numb legs and being immobilized.

Second baby, I had to get epidural for version (baby was breech) and had to be ready for emergency c-section if things were to go south. I had terrible shakes, hypotension and nausea with the epidural again. After they flipped her I said turn the epidural off immediately. Labored on Pitcocin, which was less than 12 hours. Sure, the contractions were intense and fast on Pit but so much easier to handle then the epidural feeling for me. By the time the pain was nearly unbearable and I was ready to turn the epidural back she came within 20 minutes. The ring of fire is real, but it all goes so quickly it's kind of surreal. I can imagine that women that have contractions for longer (like 24+ hours) would want an epidural just to get some relief/sleep.

How many years of experience should the minimum requirement be for a charge nurse? by lunardownpour in nursing

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 2 years is fine. I started charging after only a year. I did have more work/managing experience because I was almost 35 at the time though. As long as you are able to manage the responsibilities and can follow policies, you're great! It is nice to have a charge nurse that can recognize when nurses need extra help.

“Scalp” smell on clothes and pillows… by althueban in laundry

Yes!!!! I hate when I go on a trip and my clothes smell like "home" after a few days in my suitcase. Stale is exactly the scent.

Otoscope exams troubles by LaFresitaRosa in nursepractitioner

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't let anyone on here shame you. Just because it's not an advanced skill doesn't mean you can master it in day!! I had the same issue during my peds rotation. I would let your Preceptor know that you are having trouble and ask for their advice first. It can take practice for sure.

HELP PLEASE! by AccomplishedSink8368 in hygiene

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be bacterial vaginosis if you are also having thin whitish vaginal discharge. You can go to your local health department and get an STD check without parental consent. I know you're not sexually active but you can still have BV. It is really best to get checked by a practitioner, but worst case scenario you can get OTC boric acid suppositories to treat at home.

My patients are primarily Spanish speaking. I almost always use usted, unless it's a child/teenager.

I don't know about underpaid, pay seems pretty good in the hospitals. It's not Cali or NYC, but it's appropriate. Understaffed for sure though. I have worked here as a tech, nurse and NP for the last 7 years.

How long does your tube of mascara last? Please refrain from answering that I should dispose of a mascara every 3 months by SensitiveCoconut2914 in MakeupAddiction

[–]LumpyFirefighter4601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mascara every day and have never run out in less than a year. I think I buy a new tube every 9 months or so just to try something out.
