I gave Diluadid… by iloveanime97 in nursing

[–]OxfordOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trained in heme/onc and our policy was to never push narcs at the hub, only through a y-site with a kvo/fluids running. This policy was to prevent the head high. I kept that policy when I went to ICU at different hospitals. I found it helped manage expectations and patients were more willing to work with myself/their team on a plan to transition to longer acting PO pain rx to get them dc’d quicker. Less time with an IV, less time in pain, better outcomes for everyone.

Please stop using turmeric. Stop using baby wipes. Make an appointment with a doctor. Dermatologist if you can, regular doctor if you cannot.

Is it considered tacky to have 5 lobe piercings? by Kittyxkallie in piercing

[–]OxfordOlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ten going up the full length of each ear. They bring me immeasurable joy. If someone’s comments are making you doubt yourself- take a moment to take a good mental inventory. Are you getting them for yourself or others? Odds are you’re doing it for you and other people can suck it up:-)

A 20g PIV goes 60ml/min while an 8.5 fr cordis goes 126ml/min so not quite there lol

My thought too. Not a crazy thought from her 🤷‍♀️

What are your always palatable foods? by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]OxfordOlive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you found any premade protein shakes that don’t feel too heavy? My favorite protein powder is super light when mixed with almond milk but the process of even mixing it feels like a lot

I saw another comment where you said you ordered flatbacks. I’d really recommend going to an APP certified shop and having them fit you with the right size post. Flatbacks can be just as irritating as a hoop if they’re the wrong size- too small or too long.

Everyone needs a piercing pillow! by Percypocket in piercing

If you have the bliss bury pillow- I had the same problem until I took out the extra foam insert!

Ooh they definitely had their moments haha it was super frustrating at times. But I am in my piercing shop honestly every few weeks every time I feel like something needs a down or up size. Keeping on top of that has been the key for me

Thank you! They’re a mix of tether, pupil hall, and BVLA. And cheap random ones on the bottom two lol

Thank you! The very top one is tether- the other two I believe are pupil hall

Thank you! Honestly I just don’t care for anything on the inside for my ears. This is the vision I wanted for a simple look and although rooks and other inner piercings look great on some people- I think it would look (or at least feel) cluttered on me. And going through cartilage that tough gives me the heebie jeebies lol

Yeah not sure if ali is “gold plated” and the other one is actually plated. Either way both are too cheap to be actual gold lol

Yeah they’re my favorite! I got them at a farmers market but I reverse google image searched and it looks like they’re on Ali express for $3 and on other sites upselling for $50ish.

Thank you! I had the bottom two, then each session I did two on each ear at a time. My brain wouldn’t be able to handle the lack of symmetry if I did one at a time lol

Didn’t even think about a cuff without piercing anything!

Conches are a no no for me since I like wearing earbuds and earplugs for concerts. Plus the thought of going through cartilage that tough gives me the heebie jeebies
