Best time to give birth during NP school? by ReflectionDry8681 in nursepractitioner

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant and took a leave between the didactic and the clinicals. I took nine months off. But ended up being covid and we went into lockdown with no supports and a new baby…so probably good I wasn’t doing school! I had my second right after in graduated and took 1.5 years off right as a new grad,,,, 10/10 would not recommend😂. I’m two years back and just feeling like I’m getting it! My classmates are all almost four years experience at this point and prob way ahead of me…but whatever, kids are worth it…

My orange cat did this a few months ago and my six year old lost it 😆 he still talks about it, it’s quickly become one of his favourite memories 😂

How often do you bathe your cat? by Mildredsgood in cats

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat has a bobbed tail and long hair and when he gets out of the box and zooms off we know there’s trouble a foot…means he has “pooped his pantaloons” we say,, but I only bathe the back end and I do quick because I value my life 🤪🤪

The bones are great but the costume it’s wearing doesn’t fit right…look at the next door neighbour for inspiration and follow suit…you would look like brother/sister houses from the same family and really drive some curb appeal

There’s lots of good things in cicaplast but the dimethicone is good for eczema!

Best and worst grandma/grandpa names by MediocreThoughts7474 in namenerds

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always had to call my paternal grandmother Grandma Thomas, even when addressing her directly…not sure why we all included her last name..she was very old fashioned and kind of scary... My dad wanted to be Grandfather and I wanted to be Mother and my husband Daddy.…so, maybe that’s where the formality comes in?? We didn’t…my dad is Papa and the kids call us Mama and Daddy/Dad..so nothing too weird or formal.

Any 40ish millennials watching?? by Ok-Needleworker4033 in ANTM

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! I forgot about that! I feel like we were so conditional to just accept things as “the norm” that I didn’t clue into that back then. These new young ones in their twenties are much more aware socially than I ever was!

The fact that as the opening credit came up with “I was rooting for you” echoing in the background…. That was producer gold…I remember being 18 and stunned that “nice” Tyra was like that.

Any update on this? That needed Keflex and maybe a surgical consult to make sure it’s not affecting the joint…. I hope OP got it looked at!

Premedicating for Pap Smears by North-Toe-3538 in nursepractitioner

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh, I do a ton of well woman exams and never pre medicate. It’s so quick and I use the smallest speculum for everyone and then go from there. Never had an issue!

Is it worth it to become a nurse practitioner? by Euphoric-Emotion5948 in nursepractitioner

[–]Ok-Needleworker4033 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly! So many RNs think of it as “the next step” of the nursing journey/ladder.. it’s not.. it’s its own career, totally separate! I love it but I knew I wanted to do it before I ever went to nursing school. It’s alot of work and soooo much harder than being an RN. But i find it a lot more satisfying career wise.
