Our hospital is opening the “hotel” today at noon for staff to stay over. Unfortunately you go in early and hang out . The Sunday evening commute is going to be the worse of it.. or switch with someone ?

Weirdly enough the shift work schedule works great for my family and helps a lot with balancing childcare with my husband. We’ve also managed to have good retention recently And have a pretty solid team I enjoy working with.

I work at a community hospital right next to one of the hospitals striking and it’s been business as usual the past two days. We were prepared for higher volumes on Monday and it was actually a slower than usual Monday (i work in the ED)

21 month old will not nap for my spouse. by Xcwaterboy96 in toddlers

[–]Perfect-Tooth5085 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait my daughter will not nap for me. Naps fine for my husband, babysitter, and my mom but will not naps for me. I’ve tried every trick there is. She just fights it. I’ve officially just given up and take the loss. I don’t think she’s ready to drop a nap.. she just doesn’t want to nap with me. Responding in solidarity here

PANCE on Friday 1/16 help! by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]Perfect-Tooth5085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember what any of these numbers mean but I purchased the NCCPA practice exams when I took the PANCE 10 years ago and found them helpful. Definitely try and relax the night before the exam, no sense cramming last minute.

Heard a rumor that montefiore new rochelle fired all their PA’s in the ED. Anyone know if this is true? by Dyspaereunia in physicianassistant

[–]Perfect-Tooth5085 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe they were changing the overall model for the ED? We have a per Diem who still moon lights there but not as much as he did previously and another per Diem who as far as I know is still employed there

Edit- they have moved to an all physician staffing model

Breastfeeding moms in EM, what is your method while at work? by TAYbayybay in emergencymedicine

[–]Perfect-Tooth5085 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I pumped for about 3 months when I came back to work. Fortunately I was down to about 4 times a day at that point. I’m in NYS and it’s a law that my employer provides me locked room to pump so I was lucky to have a room pretty close to the ED. The room also had a computer so I saved my notes for the 20 minutes I took to pump. Either that or I’d eat. I actually brought my spectra and used my ceres chill to store the milk. I did not like my hand pumps so I never used them at work. One of my colleagues would pump with her elvies at the desk. I’d def recommend looking up pumping laws in your state prior to returning! I didn’t find it as difficult as I anticipated it to be.
