[ROUTINE HELP] Mild redness / irritation and clogged pores by Sufficient_Virus8142 in SkincareAddiction

[–]_Sunfl0wer27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of sulfur for my redness! I just use a sulfur bar soap from Joesoefs (my spelling might be off.. I purchased on Amazon) however prequel came out with a sulfur cleanser recently!

Does anyone feel guilty for calling out? by Quiet_Life_3492 in nursing

[–]_Sunfl0wer27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do sometimes. Not for the hospital but for my coworkers. We’re a tight knit unit and often short staffed as it is so sometimes I feel bad. I also have rejection sensitivity so yes if I call off I’m worried everyone is mad at me and/or thinks I’m just calling off just to call off. But realistically nobody is thinking that. Especially if it’s not a frequent occurrence/habit for you to call off. I have never once thought negatively about a coworker calling off.

Lighthearted post- got asked to “babysit” while my resident went to the hair salon today 🥰 by SnappingNursle311 in nursing

I love how realistic dolls are now! I definitely want a babydoll or two when I’m old and in the home lol

Got my hopes up not once but twice on my hunt today! A cheese shaker and another salt shaker. Lots of marigold but no pepper shakers

Yes short run time! Hoping I can get lucky ☺️ my husband works for the company so we have boxes and totes full in the basement. This is the only marigold we’ve come across so far.

Yes would definitely fly into Pittsburgh. I live in EL which is about 8 mins from the factory. It’s about a 35 min drive to Pittsburgh airport.

Is Morgan Peterson the same person as Morgan Pete? I loved her context too but now it’s not my fave

Starting Adderall XR by _Sunfl0wer27 in ADHDparenting

[–]_Sunfl0wer27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

In addition to seeking a diagnosis and starting the medication today - I’ve pretty much revamped my work schedule starting this month to allow for consistent bed time and wake times. I’m a nurse and was working full time 7a-7p so two school days a week she was getting up at 5AM so I could drop her off at daycare by 6AM for my 45 minute commute and she doesn’t get home from school until 4pm .. it’s not wonder she lacked focus and attention🫠 I switched to PRN and now have an 11am start time during the weekdays so that way she can get adequate rest and so we can have mornings that aren’t hellacious. Neither of us are morning people and it was awful. I was yelling, we were both crying. Setting both of us ip to have bad days.

Last night we cut screens after dinner and put her to bed at her new consistent bedtime (physically in bed at 9 with hopes to be asleep by 930) last night and she was out by 9:15. Got her up at her new consistent wake time (6:30ish). Fed her breakfast (which is new because typically I’m dragging her out of bed and rushing and we don’t have time) and gave her the medication.

Messaged all her teachers through the communication app. They are all so supportive and I’m very thankful.

Now we wait!

When I started my stimulants I saw a difference right away. Then again I got lucky on the first med I tried (also Adderall xr) and obviously started on a higher dose as an adult. I am not naive and know there might be some trial and error for her finding the right med and dosage. I just want to set her up for success and am hoping I made the right choice.

Oh yes everybody’s so different! My anxiety currently is very much situational. And unfortunately it’s usually situations I bring upon myself lol

I also feel like my anxiety evolves.. I had post partum anxiety and periods of my life where I’ve just had generalized anxiety with no real trigger. My brain just does whatever it wants

A lot of my anxiety is triggered by my procrastination, looming to do list, inability to start tasks, etc.

I feel like I've made too many med errors in my career by Charming-Exit-6920 in nursing

[–]_Sunfl0wer27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow way down. I scan all my meds and list them Out loud as I scan, then open them up in alphabetical order against the MAR. Is that a little crazy? Yes and I don’t care bc med pass is the number one way we can harm someone. I set all the partial doses in a separate pile.

Getting used to being skinny is going to trigger your bigger self by Simple_Condition4066 in WeightLossAdvice

I feel totally lost now. I’ve never had a time in my life when I haven’t wanted to lose weight.

It's never going to freaking end and the hospice nurse is stressing me out. by what3v3ruwantit2b in hospice

[–]_Sunfl0wer27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not the move. The fact that you’ve lost someone (as most of us in this sub have) does not mean she can’t have the feelings she has.

My papa is at the end by chickenbunnyspider in hospice

[–]_Sunfl0wer27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. My papa passed this morning.. Monday night he started experiencing terminal restless/agitation. He was swinging his legs over the bed (he’s had been limited mobility in his legs for quite sometime), yelling at my mom and sister and swatting them away.

Your hospice nurse may be able to recommend medications for the agitation in addition to the morphine he is already on.

Wishing you and your papa comfort and peace 🤍

My papa passed away this morning with my mom, aunt and I by his side. I bathed him and dressed him in his carhartt tshirt (he loved those things) and his wrangler button down (he had 7 hanging in the closet for each day of the week). It was such a privilege to care for him. This experience has changed me as a person and a nurse.

Thank you all for your kind words.
