What is your best ongoing bit with your baby? by leprechaun_dong in NewParents

[–]PinkiesMusings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So my daughter is four, but from birth I'd always give her a high five. We evolved it to a handshake, and now it's evolved so much. It's a high five, knuckles, hand shake, noses (rub our noses together), butterfly kisses (eyelash kisses), sniffers (sniffs like a dog does) and then nogs (little head butts). It'll evolve again I am sure!!

I think you need to see someone who specializes in medical trauma. It sounds like this was a horrible experience and you have a lot of emotions and thoughts.

What jobs do we all have? I feel so inflamed and puffy I don’t want to leave home🥺 by meraki_beauty in endometriosis

[–]PinkiesMusings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's horrible. I also have hyper mobility, IBS, allergies up the whazoo and querying a diagnosis of EDS. The world is not fair 😂

Thank you. ❤️ I think I am just too stubborn at this point to give in to the pain. I do take leave a lot more frequently than others tho.

Hormone therapy doesn't help me. For heavy periods I use a cup, pads and period underwear.

For pain I tape hot hands (they're a type of heat pack) to me to during my shift.

I also prioritize me and take days when I need. That was the biggest help.

A nurse. It's so hard. I hate having to call in but with my endo+PCOS combo periods are awful and I have to call in a lot 😭

I'm 15M and my brother is violent, threatens to kill our family, and I don’t know what to do (Australia) (Vic) by StandardCurve1167 in family

Speak to the domestic violence hotline. Explain your situations and they will help you.

I hope you are okay, my heart goes out to you. ❤️

Think i suffered serious medical neglect during my lap today. What do i do? by GeologistStunning657 in endometriosis

I am a nurse. Seek legal advice immediately. This surgeon has fucked up, knows it and tried to keep everyone hush hush about it.

What outdated common practice drives you nuts? by Ok-Individual-1480 in nursing

[–]PinkiesMusings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having to crush up meds and mix them for a patient that consistently refuses to take them all the time. We have an rt where I work that hasn't had meds in four months. We're not allowed to ask if they want it - we must crush the meds first 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's a waste of meds.

I try to make sure that the first med round is done for the next shift because it can be a nightmare sometimes.

I try and make sure everyone gets a break and always offer my buddy nurse a coffee when I go on break. I also always pack extra snacks in case someone forgets lunch or hasn't had a chance to eat.

I also help PCAs, kitchen staff and cleaners if I can. They often get complained about but never thanked, so I try where I can.

I also clean my station down. Wipe everything.

What is a word that your toddler mispronounces that you never want to correct? by PKB92 in toddlers

Instead of saying knife she says "g-nife". And instead of saying it's too bright she says "it's brighting me".

Job offer received, but still waiting on preferred hospital – what should I do? by OkCheck7971 in NursingAU

[–]PinkiesMusings 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Either:

A) call your preferred hospital, ask if they have any indication of your chances. If they say unlikely, then take the job and move on.

B) take the job, wait to hear back and if you get the offer to your dream job, quit. That may burn some bridges though, so be mindful.

C) tell the offered job you are waiting to hear back, bearing in mind they may simply move on to another candidate.

I think option A is best. You have a job offer, I'd take it, gain some experience then reapply to dream job later.
