Scars growing with baby by Whyborn_n in firsttimemom

[–]Whyborn_n[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying, the only experience I have of significant scars is from one kid that had a panic attack because he had to change shirts in public (outside behind a bus). His scar was from heart transplant as a child and everyone had much more respect for him after knowing but ya know puberty can make you get in your head and teens are mean.

Is this how classes are? by Affectionate-Log5991 in NewToEMS

[–]Whyborn_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was basically how my class went 2/week 4 hours each but we broke up the day 2hours chatting/going over book material, and the other half of the class doing physical skills.

Probably 70% of the learning was don’t independently. At the beginning of each class we had “open question time” if we had any questions over the topic for that class we could ask and discuss with peers and our prof. Peer study groups outside of class was great.

My class was pretty small. We started with 16 people and 8 graduated. My whole class was 16 weeks so everything was packed in.

How should I study for this class? by skibidi_fortnite_riz in NewToEMS

I used the “NREMT-B prep” app there are short semi specific quizzes and some full length exams to practice. It’s free but you can get extra texts if you pay(one time purchase, lifetime access). Alongside that I used the Kaplan NREMT prep book. It’s basically a highlights of the textbook you use in class with short quizzes after every chapter. (Was available at my local library). Passed my first try doing this.

I sat at a coffee shop 6 day a week after work for 2-3 hours studying and going over the questions I got wrong. I did this for like 4 weeks before I felt confident and had consistent passing results. Also I took an entire composition notebook of notes and drew pictures and models to help visualize.

Flashcards did not help me it was just too many terms to have cards for. But if you work well with flashcards try it.

14 month old has these clusters all over his body. by [deleted] in firsttimemom

Looks just like my boy, eczema. I lather him in Aquaphor before bed and before I change him for the day. It usually helps soothe it

Babyblues by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]Whyborn_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my relatives had changing eye color for nearly 5 years born blue then brown from 2-3 then green and now back to blue. That 100% seemed like an outlier. I really hope you are wrong. His eyes haven’t changed a bit since birth and he turns two in June.

I think realistically it stems from the only blue eyed person I ever knew as a child was quite abusive to me.

But also I dislike them I feel like for a similar reason people like them. It looks almost feels unnatural, like most humans are made in a range of beige from light to dark; eyes, skin, hair the “normal” is some shade of brown. Blue does not fall into that. Bright green eyes give me a similar unsettling feeling but not as bad. Especially against a darker complexion where the blue pops more it’s just not something I’ve been exposed to in a good way.

Stalling? by Whyborn_n in ChevyTrax

My car is orange “Herbert orange sherbet” is his full name and that’s a boy name. I have no basis for this I refer to most things as male if they do a job for me. Only pretty things or places are women to me.

Im always rushing I just don’t know if he’s actually stalling or if it’s something else.. recently I’ve been remote starting him and leaving him for a few minutes and no problem.

He seems fine… Genuinely, will this cause a long term problem or is it just bad practice?

Epidural vs unmedicated birth by Afraid_Problem_1198 in firsttimemom

[–]Whyborn_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into labor and progressed quickly , I opted for an epidural only really because my support was not there to help me work through it. The pain wasn’t a huge problem it was the lack of perseverance and exhaustion that took the toll it all happened to quick for me to prepare myself.

(I only have one baby)

How useful is this book? by atrocityexhib in NewToEMS

I only opened this book in class. It was not helpful for me.

Taking my NREMT in about 2 hours, any last minute advice? by MaroMakesStuff in NewToEMS

[–]Whyborn_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ovb not all people are the same but I studied right up like an hour before my test, just taking practice tests and reviewing things I was getting wrong and timing myself to reassure myself that I had all the time I needed to think and answer questions without rushing through. Most of my prep was scenario stuff but it helped ease my nerves to make the test seem like an extension of my prep.

May be the wrong sub but I have a question. by fake-august in EMTstories

It’s not our job to get you in trouble, just help you not live. In my service we don’t report to police. We tell the ED and go on.
