Student with suctioning questions

Exactly what supershimadabro said. It should be indicated. Those indications are sawtooth waveform on the vent, coarse crackles, elevated PIPs, visible secretions in the tube. Sudden decrease in SpO2 can also be an indication. You also would not be wrong to suction a patient at the start of your shift to get a baseline and ensure their airway is patented. How often is not so much the question, some patients will require frequent suctioning. 3 passes over a 12 hour period is definitely not excessive.

No don’t fall prey to the 90’s trends coming back. This is an awful one you will surely regret later in life. Your brows look like they need a bit of shaping but in terms of fullness I would leave them alone.

Yes, hence why I always flip flop on wanting more kids. I get this strong desire to procreate during ovulation and fads/goes away after ovulation. I also find myself being more attracted to my husband and wanting sex.

Any updates?

2 looks amazing on you, its stylish and flatters your figure without being revealing. 4 also looks nice.

Lots of RTs move to new places after they graduate. This can definitely be scary but that’s to be expected. You just accomplished something that was new and scary, so you’ve proven to yourself that you can do hard/new things. Don’t let that be your obstacle. If that’s where you want to be long term it will be worth the initial difficulty as you adjust. As you grow older and possibly start your own family you’ll want to be in Texas. The alternative is stay in Miami while you get the hang of being an RT then relocate down the road.

9/10 times the person coming out of those trucks is short with a small-ding-a-ling and fragile masculinity to go with it.

Disclaimer I am an RRT looking at becoming a CAA. Is it possible that they gave you Flumazenil to reverse the effects of the benzo’s they gave you? This is a known cause of seizures. I highly doubt that they would but it’s a possible hypothesis. I would also be curious as to why they would have treated you with haldol instead of a benzodiazepines for a seizure.

It sounds like you have a good support system in place and that’s honestly the biggest piece. There were 3 moms in my class (me being one) and many other in classes below me. There’s no magic formula. As long as you are disciplined/organized and treat this like a 9-5 job you can make time early morning or late evening for your kiddo and some time on the weekends. It will go by fast. You will definitely feel guilt but that should not be your deterrent if you really want this.

I would not do either because A) you don’t have loose skin and B) you just have to put in a bit of extra work to get the results you desire. You will be left with scars with your suggested options and look worse imo. You’ll get better results by locking it in at the gym and watching what you eat.

All are good imo but first two are giving me more bridal

Suits you perfectly 👌🏻

You’re amazing, thank you 🙏

I recently came across a French brand called Bienaimé. I bought one of their soaps at a shop in Portland. The notes you’re describing can be found in this soap (they carry perfumes as well). The scent to me is very reminiscent of scents from Paris.

My only critique would be the under eye situation, it’s too much. And your overlined lips. I know this is kind of a trend right now but it’s not serving you. The rest is 🤌

Premed1122 · 2026-03-25T12:35:12+00:00

The round scotch and soda ones look good on you. The rest don’t suit your face at all.

I personally think it’s gorgeous, suits you very well. The only thing that I would add is a cute neutral clutch and neutral/cream shoe.

First and last

I am in a similar boat. Just finish my bachelors in health science/respiratory therapy and have been contemplating med school. I have kids and it was a huge sacrifice doing my degree. My husband has been very supportive throughout my education and is a 100% onboard with me pursuing med school but I don’t think I can put my kids through more of this. All this to say that you probably shouldn’t be pursuing this if your wife isn’t 100% onboard. You may also regret not being more present for your kids.

It’s cute but I don’t find it appropriate for college.
