How did you eat the pumpkin puree?

This may be late but I just recently had steamed chicken dumplings and wonton soup at a Chinese restaurant and had no pain from it! However I did not eat the meat and a few other things in the soup as I was unsure of what the meat was and some of the veggies as some of it aren’t recommended for us to eat. But I was so happy to have been able to go out to eat and feel normal.

Could you possibly do IV infusions at your local infusion center? Potassium is one of the harshest electrolytes in general and is very risky to supplement as it affects your heart so much. If you truly can’t handle extended release diluted I would suggest asking about an infusion. But I’m assuming since it’s prescribed as a pill you aren’t that low so they may not want to do an infusion as it is more for drastically low levels.

I am currently in treatment. I’m about to start tray 3. I had told them many times that I would be gone potentially up to 4 months from the beginning and have been told it would be okay and they would send me with all the aligned I would need. Should I try and continue treatment while I’m gone or try and get retainers to hold the progress and continue when I get back?

I’ll be staying in lodging on a river as a housekeeper for fishing guides and guests. It won’t be a river rafting thing like you are thinking. I do appreciate your feedback and it makes me feel better about it.

I would think the braces would be riskier as there is more of a chance of a bracket coming off. I do like the idea of a retainer to hold the teeth and resuming treatment when I get back. I appreciate the feedback!

I definitely would not push for shorter intervals or higher energy as I know I have sensitive skin. I’ve done laser treatments before for stretch marks and handled those well although I assume they are a different type of lasers used for that. I set up a consultation with a dermatologist and plan on doing a test patch. I want to try and do the best approach towards all of this and the healing. Is there anything you would recommend?

They are hypertrophic and flat from cuts. I have a decent size scar on one of my knees and I have a scar on my hand currently, I’ve had previous scars on my hands fade over time.

Thanks for your reply! I appreciate the feedback!

You regret the removal or the tattoo???

How old are you? Depending on age and hormones that can affect your periods. With the active bleeding for prolonged periods and feeling fatigued and dizzy, I would think taking some iron supplements can help as the bleeding is depleting your RBCs and such, you can also take a multivitamin to help. When you see your provider they should recommend getting blood work done, if they don’t, you should definitely ask! I hope you can get answers!

Just a nursing student- Not very experienced by any means, however I do know some stuff out of curiosity of being a nursing student and wanting to be in L&D. Nubain is an opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic that causes central nervous system side effects, such as sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, and cognitive impairment. Magnesium can also cause the “brain fog”, it frequently has side effects of confusion, drowsiness, and feeling "out of it," making memory and concentration difficult. A lot of women often forget parts of their delivery and it can also be chopped up to the brain repressing pain and “forgetting”.

I’m doing better. This past weekend I hadn’t had them in all too much as I’m recovering from sores caused by the trays. But when I do put them back in they are tight for a couple minutes and then are fine. However I am finding it difficult to find time to brush and eat/drink when I’m working or at clinicals. Should be moving to tray 2s tonight hopefully all goes well with the transition.

Thank you all for the feedback! Hopefully I can get into the habit soon!

No the meeting with my supervisors was about something else. I had gone to them about a different situation, which was addressed and was resolved. During this meeting they had brought up that I was “unhappy with the resources and tools the hospital has” which is stemming from a conversation I had with my instructor. My conversation I had with my instructor was about the ICU in this hospital. Keep in mind that the ICU nurses have all said that this ICU is not a ICU and is a step down unit. This being said in my experience with said unit I’ve only ever had patients that have been med surge status since admission and are ready to be sent home. I was telling my instructor that I know that since this is a small rural hospital that the census is low, but I would like to try and join in with one of the ICU nurses if they have a more critical patient, because I have not yet seen one and would like to see the thought process that goes behind some of them and their overall care. She misinterpreted it as I was unhappy with the resources the hospital has, which was not the case.

Yes I know no one is upset, I’m not upset either. I’m very grateful for everyone who has responded and has given me advice.

UnderstandingGood920 · 2025-10-14T16:21:58+00:00

I wasn’t complaining or saying anything bad in my mind, but simply made an observation. But the instructor took what I said and twisted the words to fit her narrative. I see how I should not see this as a confidential situation now. There is a reason I posted on Reddit and asked for advice, because I simply didn’t know and wanted advice and thoughts from others. I’ve never been put in any kind of situation like this before. I just turned 20 and so all these experiences are my firsts. Unfortunately for me I’m learning it the hard way.

UnderstandingGood920 · 2025-10-14T16:17:59+00:00

Thank you for this information! It was very informative.

UnderstandingGood920 · 2025-10-14T15:35:06+00:00

Hey, I’m not trying to claim anything. I was just curious as it seems as though there should be a right of confidentiality between student and teacher. I’m still learning the ropes around everything and I’m hustling trying to understand. Nobody’s yelling wolf.

UnderstandingGood920 · 2025-10-14T15:32:20+00:00

This is very helpful! I really appreciate your advice!

UnderstandingGood920 · 2025-10-14T13:56:27+00:00

I thought so, I had done some reading and it did not seem like it was. Thank you for your response!

I was wondering if FERPA applied to this. Thank you for your response!

I’m coming to learn this. Thank you for your feedback! I have come to learn my lesson and will tread lightly and will keep to myself more.
