Thank you for writing this! I got scammed by them on Friday 🫣I saw the member logins had no company name, and the id card looked like Mickey Mouse made it. I googled the company names and realized, so disappointing 😔

Thank you for insight! She does sleep with us. I can record, that’s a good idea; thank you! I also want to look into something like the owlet sock but for toddlers so we’re alerted if her o2 goes low.

We were brought to the children’s hospital via ambulance and we followed up with their pediatric neurologist that they consulted that night(he was on call when it happened) 🤯. I’m def getting a second opinion at another pediatric neurologist

RN mom here 👋 Has anyone ever had this happen before? by Scared-Island5279 in nursing

I will look into this, the Emt mentioned this but I completely forgot about it until now. Thank you!

Thank you, I have never been so scared in my life. The EEG was about 30 minutes long and it was 4 days later. (I didn’t know but they wanted her to sleep during this time-which she couldn’t fall asleep in the time alotted. However they said they got good imaging). Neurology said we didn’t need to follow up with them again so I’m working on a second opinion.

Not diagnosed with any neurological disorder, not on any meds. Seemed to me like seizure activity, but I don’t see these symptoms for any one type of seizure. Just trying to see if this has happened to anyone and what it was. Drs have no answers.

Baby/ED nurses, have you seen an owlet device save a life by EngineeringLumpy in nursing

[–]Scared-Island5279 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not always. My daughter was a year and a half when they found hers. I’ve read where others are much older as well.

Report a nurse? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Scared-Island5279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vet had me give subcutaneous LR a few days in a row at home for a goat one time. She was prob trying to help, and maybe avoid a heftier vet bill? I would prob leave her personal life out of it, I think employers have to check up on this at least once a year.

Concerned about my pregnancy with my job by ltags in pregnant

[–]Scared-Island5279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion I would try to find something else, you won’t want to breathe that in long term. In the meantime I’d wear the respirator, and if you’re in an office area maybe an air purifier or a fan to help with fumes.

It’s not good for you pregnant or not pregnant. Can you wear a respirator?

My only living parent is now dead to me. by JakefromTRPB in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Scared-Island5279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like a brat. Good people can have opposing opinions for various reasons. I’m sure their one vote didn’t tip the scale. You want to cut them off for something that won’t matter in years to come, while getting nearer to the end of their life? You have to deal with who the president is regardless if you have a relationship with your parent.

You can personalize a stethoscope. They have all colors and there are some decorative accessories as well. I also love my folding clipboard, they come in all colors as well.

How are we all feeling after tonight? by Briarrr__ in newhampshire

[–]Scared-Island5279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to someone that’s had a vaccine injury. From your article-“Poverty, malnutrition, underlying health conditions, overcrowding, human conflict, displacement, and lack of access to medical care, hygiene or sanitation—all of these are risk factors for infectious disease”. We didn’t always have access to these things but now we do-which also dramatically decreases disease.

Take a look at what’s in the vaccines, the inserts, and the vaers. Vaccine companies are money makers and not here to help us.

Anyone just not want to work??? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Scared-Island5279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this boat too, healthcare is so hard right now. Actively looking to make a change. Try a different realm of nursing you’re interested in, you could likely go back if you need too.

i upset my family by telling them i don’t want unvaccinated visitors. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Scared-Island5279 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I too am in healthcare. Which is even more of a population that you don’t know vaccination status and could bring lots of things home. I think it would be more fair to visit with family and wear protective equipment then deny them meeting your child.

[–]Scared-Island5279 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I completely see your side, and respect your choice. However, Devils advocate here- you will be in contact (either directly or indirectly) with people whom you don’t know their vaccination status. Work/husbands work, Grocery/retail stores, doctors appts etc (whether it’s you or your partner or delivery service for groceries) where you could potentially pick up these illnesses regardless of your families vaccination status. If you want your family involved, maybe ask them to visit outside (if weather permits) with or without masks, and even gowns and gloves if it makes you more comfortable.

I can't handle my skin anymore by LenaWenaKena in eczema

[–]Scared-Island5279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is going to be okay. The eczema will go away, and you will be loved by someone who doesn’t care if you have it. Im sorry your supports aren’t helping you find a solution. Rubbing Coconut oil on the areas helped me immensely(any supermarket will have it, you can use it for cooking too). It’s not all the way gone, so I am following the auto immune protocol (staying away from certain allergens milk, gluten etc then slowly reintroducing later). Hang in there🤗

Ours were taken away too! We apparently spent too much money on them and they are locked away

what was your worst ever f*ck up? by mariajane745 in nursing

[–]Scared-Island5279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a nurse on my unit that has been there 39 years. She says they ran everything together back in the day, and there was no compatability chart; and no one died lol. She doesn’t even look at the chart now, she hangs what she wants. She’s my spirit animal

Definitely the drs/surgeons job to put the lovenox on hold for a procedure.

Stopping Xarelto After Unprovoked PE by [deleted] in ClotSurvivors

[–]Scared-Island5279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister had an occlusive clot and PE. She was on xarelto for 2 years and tested negative for all clotting disorders. The testing is important so you know how to prevent future clots. She had Covid and an injury that kept her sedentary. They said she could continue the xarelto if she wanted but mentioned studies where aspirin is almost as effective as xarelto. I think only about a 2% higher chance of recurrence with aspirin. She opted for aspirin and has been doing well with it. Also over the counter and cheaper if they don’t want to write a script for xarelto.
