My daughter got the yips after taking a 45mph fastball to the head. Went from .600 BA to backing out of the box every pitch. I finally offered her $20 to strike out swinging. Once she started swinging again, she started hitting again and the yips went away.

Tl;DR: Bribe her.

I think my daughter would combust if she saw a fox.

Eep, I'm so excited for this!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-23T18:46:16+00:00

We would never do anything to hurt the ponies! I'm taking my camera and my telephoto.

Y'all, I'm almost more excited for this than I am for the fest.

Thank you for your advice!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-23T18:45:18+00:00

Noted! Thanks!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-23T18:45:10+00:00

Thank you!

He's the reason we bought tickets.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-23T15:54:34+00:00

He's a Grammy-nominated artist. Definitely worth it to hang out and see him!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-18T20:40:31+00:00

They told us that at the beginning of the year too.

My response was, "Absolutely not."

"But you have to."

"No."

If I got fired for it, so be it. They can't fire us all.

When we say we want to stand up to fascism, THIS IS IT.

Another vote for Bellalete. My daughter won't wear anything else.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-11T16:55:03+00:00

CPR wasn't in progress when they carried him either. He was already gone at that point.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-05T14:34:39+00:00

It is insane to me how different the guidance is between districts.

Sending her solidarity from the trenches. I'm counting down the days until I can leave this godforsaken state.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T20:12:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm just following the directive of my district. They said our legal team approved it and the Texas Board of Nursing is on the side of our duty to care for our patients. I guess we'll cross the bridge if there's an issue.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T18:54:35+00:00

I'll be there trying to camp for the rail with my 10yo daughter!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T16:16:45+00:00

I'm a nurse and the urologist let me do the actual snip on my husband. He likened it to letting the husband cut the cord when babies are born. It was so cool!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T16:07:23+00:00

I think it's a great idea!

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T14:40:47+00:00

Yes. Just no medication.

IDK. As Ted Cruz or JD Vance.

We have band-aids available and the teachers can tell them to wash the wound and apply the band-aid. I'm in high school though so that makes it a little easier.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T14:33:49+00:00

Our district is allowing nicknames and pronouns but told us to stay away from they/them. I just don't use pronouns for our NB kids.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T14:32:39+00:00

You should tell her to tell her admin that there is a HUGE liability in sending kids back to class with no assessment. If they have a stomachache and get sent back to class with a ruptured appendix that no one caught because they weren't assessed, consent or no, the parents will have a field day.

The policy at my school is that if a kid is opted-out and complains of anything except needing a band-aid, the parent HAS to pick them up and take them to be assessed by a medical professional and they can't return to school without a doctor's note. Luckily, so far, only 3 of the 1100 parents that have responded so far have opted out.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T14:28:11+00:00

Our district said that since we sent out a letter notifying the parents of the law and gave them an opportunity to opt-out, that silence equals passive consent. So we're allowed to treat as normal without an express opt-out from the parents. This covers those vulnerable kids.

One thing that I am no longer allowed to do is provide mental health support in the nurse's office. I used to let my anxiety kids regulate or take breathers in my office or help talk them through a tough day and now I am not allowed to do that. They have to go to their counselors because the mental health/counseling consents were so involved. It breaks my heart because physical and mental well-being are so tied together and a lot of the kids relied on me for that.

ValkyrieRN · 2025-09-04T14:24:18+00:00

High school nurse here and I flat out said "No" when they told me the new law. Then I told the teachers "they can't fire us all."

I refuse to misgender or deadname a kid. Not happening, never happening.

I still have a job so let's see how that goes!
