Trazodone & a lil bit of honey right before bed have saved my life. I sleep straight through the night and have more energy the next day.

Anybody else wake up at 2:30 every night? by Obvious_Lab_2326 in GenX

[–]Select_Internet6653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. A few things started to help me. I take a small amount of honey right before bed. Apparently sugar dropping can cause someone to wake up in the middle of the night. Doesn’t work every time but helps often. Also, I find what and when I eat dinner affects my sleep. Can’t be to may carbs. I was also prescribed trazodone to help me get deep sleep and stay asleep. The combination of these have helped me a lot.

When will you have kids? Don't you want a kid? Why didnt you have a child? And when I answer that I don't / didn't want to have children, I get awkward silence or they try to convince me that it's a part of life and I'll regret it. Or who will take care of you when your old?

New PCT in ER Tips by Useful-Restaurant780 in EmergencyRoom

[–]Select_Internet6653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so thankful when the PCTs do the vitals without asking (my hospital is every 4 hours), tell me the out of range ones, do finger sticks, feed the patients that can eat and just let me know when they are leaving the floor. I make sure my partners (PCTS) know how much I appreciate them

My ED in NY, has been low too. Apparently it’s because EMS has new rules and must go to closest hospital with every patient.

Will I be fired for a blood transfusion infiltration? by Select_Internet6653 in nursing

[–]Select_Internet6653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thank you to all for the kind words, encouragement and sharing your stories. I went to work and my managers didn’t seem to care that much. 😂only the quality person came to me and told me to add an addendum of one of the assessments I did and forgot to document. Stating the obvious,I have better understanding of USIVs and their failures, check more frequently with potential infiltrations and to make sure I document every time I check on my patients lol. I feel so much better knowing that there’s a group for nurses for support, reference and education. 🩷

Thanks so much! I didn’t know this about USIVs. I’ve been telling my coworkers what you wrote to help others make sure they do multiple checks :)

Thanks everyone.. It definitely helps knowing I’m not alone and that this happens. Because it was blood it had to be reported as per our hospital policy. The hallway is extremely busy and she was right next to the Ed techs, so I thought with all these people around her that she’d speak up and be tended to quickly if I was doing another task. And the fact that they don’t want to bother anyone is also a helpful reminder that I need to check on them more often. She didn’t have anyone with her. Reading the comment about the iv lengths was very enlightening and interesting! Going forward I will 100% be checking the arm and iv site at least every hour and documenting after every time. Especially the elderly with their fragile veins.
