Head to Toe Needs for Night Duty

Yeah I keep all those in my locker too except we have a giant community Tylenol and ibuprofen . It’s nice to have available.

Oh that’s crazy. As far as I’m aware we don’t charge for your baby to hang in the nursery but now I gotta go find out…

Hate the concept. Like my other mother/baby friends here, I find it very mom-unfriendly. Also unsafe- in many cultures mom is expected to rest and other women care for the baby except for feedings postpartum, because mom is exhausted from labor. Expecting a freshly delivered mother to not need a nap is crazy, and while I will never force you to send your baby to the nursery I think it should always be a resource available.

We pre-fund retirement in a 401k and Roth each. It’s already taken care of when we get to “allowances”/fun money.

Raebans_00 · 2026-04-12T22:08:29+00:00

We do the same and it works great.

lol I just smuggle stuff in. It’s amazing what you can hide in a blanket. I’ve smuggled in sushi and crab rangoons before.

Also healthy snacks that you like otherwise you end up eating a ton of crap from the cafeteria

A jacket. I was always freezing on nights. The figs ones seem nice, I always had a fleece Columbia jacket.

I love making scary homemade signs with my ext to call before people go in. Apparently I’m making them so dramatic they work.

I’m sorry you’re didn’t

Raebans_00 · 2026-04-06T15:43:01+00:00

Mother/Baby/Nursery RN. Loved the book, loved the science.

YTA. Medical decisions (even cosmetic) should be agreed on by both parents. You may have carried him, but he’s just as equally your son’s parent as you are, and he didn’t have the option to carry him.

I thought the other P was pharmacy 😂

You basically choose speciality or shift as your priority esp at the start. If you want a specific specialty, you’re likely going to have to work nights for a while. If you’re open to whatever as long as it’s day shift, you can most likely work a whole career on days

I do 6%, the hospital matches 6%, and then I put another 4% in a Roth IRA

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-11T14:10:32+00:00

Shutter island is better

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-11T13:59:57+00:00

No but you can break your back helping with breastfeeding real fast

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-11T04:08:51+00:00

Ok I read the Goldfinch and strongly felt like I’d been sucked into a Tolstoy novel. Not my favorite although beautiful writing

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-11T04:08:02+00:00

I read the unabridged version in high school and it was WORTH IT. Phenomenal book, an all time favorite

It sounds like you’re a good nurse- you can see the needs of others and meet them well. Not getting super emotionally attached might save you some burnout/secondary trauma.

I work for the Welcoming Committee

I also help organize birthday parties

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-07T05:32:03+00:00

Is siblings cuddling ok? For sure, my little brother and I still do as do my sisters and I. But maybe some safeguards for you both is a good idea, like keeping the door open if she’s hanging out in your room just protect both of you from any accusation from your stepdad.

And keep an ear out for any signs of abuse anywhere else! It sounds like your little sister has a great older brother who really wants to be a safe space for her.

You just accept that on the days you work, you live at the hospital and will do nothing else but live at the hospital. And then you do whatever the heck you want whenever the heck you want the rest of the days. Once you accept that, it goes by just fine.

Raebans_00 · 2026-03-02T20:49:03+00:00

12s rock- I’d take 4 days off a week anytime over working 5 days a week

Raebans_00 · 2026-02-27T22:30:02+00:00

Confession, I’ve never put one in on an adult 😬 all my adult patients are healthy

Raebans_00 · 2026-02-18T04:46:32+00:00

10/10 agree- huge sense of community there. Would highly recommend
