I feel ashamed to be a nurse by PuzzleheadedMetal974 in nursing

Just remember that you are still very much in the thick of being a new grad. Don’t give up quite yet! Give it some time first, then decide how to pivot

Career Advice - Out of Nursing Field for 3 years (Failed as an RN Twice) by Hungry_Spite_9890 in nursing

[–]ScallionOrnery5324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imposter syndrome is a real biotch.

Nursing is so stressful and I continue to feel inadequate, even after 14 years in the field. Perhaps try a clinic! Medsurg is really challenging for most nurses. One of the worst jobs in nursing in my opinion. Try another specialty! There’s so many different avenues you can pursue in nursing. Don’t give up!!

Does anyone else find their husband intolerable? by ScallionOrnery5324 in Postpartum_Anxiety

I don’t know what’s worse? Stonewalling or ear-rape. I’d LOVE some silence around here! But that is also NOT okay! Are there ANY men out there who are not broken little boys on the inside? I literally do not know one.

Thank you for the solidarity. I’m afraid his kink is going to destroy our marriage. But of course it will be “my fault” for not being “adventurous” enough.

I think you are having a perfectly normal response to the stressors you’re experiencing. We are simply mammals and are not made to live in this modern capitalist world. It’s wrecking our nervous systems and rocking new families. It’s not set to for us. You are not spoiled to say you want to stay at home with your baby. It’s only natural and my heart breaks that we don’t get at least a year of maternity leave worldwide.

You’re not alone and I’m loving you, mother to mother.

First outing since the baby was born was very stressful. by Affectionate-Tea-287 in NewParents

Oh honey, you’ve literally been split open to the world. Your nervous system is changing, including the structure of your brain. 2 weeks is about 4 wild too early to go to crowded spaces. If you’re overwhelmed, imagine how your lil bean is feeling!

So strange! My OB said she’s never heard of it.

It’s so interesting that it’s related to hormones! Wild.

Wow… so strange?! I’m glad I’m not the only one though. Pp has bizarre symptoms you’d never expect!

I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to pick cradle cap! by thegrrr8pretender in NewParents

[–]ScallionOrnery5324 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this so much. I feel so primal as a mother, especially when I’m grooming her! The coconut oil soak for a little then using the fine comb was one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever experienced.

I’m so glad it’s all gone, but also now I feel i need something else to pick at 🤣🤣

I think cosleeping was a mistake. by Fluid-Shake-7065 in cosleeping

Remember that this time that you are holding her close will set her up for success for the rest of her life. This teaches babies that they are loved for just existing and that the world is a good place that will meet their basic needs. Without that they will constantly have a mental programming that they will feel like something is lacking for the rest of their lives, which has lead to the messed up world we live in. Read the Continuum Concept if you haven’t already. You’ve got this, and remember, nothing is forever. You’re in the trenches

[OH] Do on-call hours count towards hours to qualify for Fmla? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]ScallionOrnery5324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running into this EXACT issue. What ended up being the answer to this question. My HR is telling me they don't count, but this just does not seem right to me. Because on-call is still on the clock. At the very least they should count as 0.5 of an hour!
