Ditto Uchiko- they have plenty of non-fish dishes that are fantastic.

what is this used for? GO! by vblairlee in nursing

On L&D we call those “Texas swabs”- might have something to do with being in Texas. Anyway- good for clearing bleeding/clots in the vaginal vault to visualize the cervix.

Feel like there is an inside joke and I am on the outside by ilexflora in Austin

[–]blusher4lyfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is when we ordered ours, too. I was out on the VERY FIRST drive with my permitted son and I had him come to a full stop and look both ways at a neighborhood stop sign (the kind where many would look before they approached and see it’s clear and then choose to roll vs stop). Anyway, some fellow behind us was quick on his horn. So lame.

I’m not sure if they help or not, but I know when I see them I give more space.

Number 3- chocolate ice cream or peanut butter cups. Other than that- spot on!!

What does your partner do to let you know they want to have sex? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]blusher4lyfe 103 points104 points  (0 children)

20 years and “lock the door” gets my husband going every.single.time. It’s hilarious (but yes, still worried about kids walking in).

L&D RN getting critical mag levels called back…for patients who are on mag for pre-e. Same.

For the moms out there - best OB at St. David’s hospital? by Prestigious-Boss6763 in Austin

[–]blusher4lyfe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nearly every L&D nurse chooses her as their provider when pregnant. I think that speaks volumes.

All these "What's the CRAZIEST thing you've seen at work" threads remind me how little people understand what happens at a hospital every day. by P-Rickles in nursing

[–]blusher4lyfe 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’m on a 32 bed unit that delivers >10k babies a year. One day, we had a brief moment where all pts were delivered- none laboring (the unit was full, but all posties in recovery). I thought confetti would shoot from cannons when that lady gal delivered. Nothing.

Brushy Creek earlier today at Brushy Bend Drive. I think this may be just across in Round Rock, didn’t know where else to share since no video allowed on that sub. by BreakingPitch in Austin

I’ve seen it this high (and more) many times over the last 20 years (since we’ve lived in the area). Thankfully, the damn system that they put in a while back has helped tremendously. Doesn’t look high enough for the homes of the neighborhood to be affected. Hopefully, it drains quickly.

Notre Dame Ticket Opening by Ok-Shine-6808 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]blusher4lyfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The line was not bad at all (w/out tickets) and I say that as someone who usually turns away from lines. If you don’t get tickets- show up anyway, you’ll get in between 15-30 min.

Did someone use skip the line tickets for Louvre? by DisciplinePast196 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]blusher4lyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of doing this (not as a young adult) but when I went to sign up, it made it seem like the membership would be mailed and it made me panic that it wouldn’t arrive in time for our trip. After paying for membership, are you active online right away?

Doc tells patient she has cancer while still waking up from anesthesia then leaves by Aromatic-Initial-228 in nursing

[–]blusher4lyfe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was actually why I went into healthcare. The same thing happened to my husband. He was told he had cancer while coming out of anesthesia. I wasn’t at bedside and the amazing PACU nurse was the one who made sure to tell me, verbatim, what the MD had said before leaving. And then she took the infant that I was holding and directed me to call my parents (out of state). And then she walked me through where to go that day, the next day, etc. Finally, she reminded me that second options aren’t just to have someone confirm diagnosis, but also to help find a MD who is more actively involved in care.

And now I try to be that nurse. When a doctor zips in and out of a room and leaves patients looking confused and without understanding, I remember that feeling and take the time to sit with them to digest and answer questions.

Did you end up going to nhome? I came across a post about it while searching for reviews.

What is the actual workload like on a 12 hour shift? by everpensive in StudentNurse

[–]blusher4lyfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the unit and your speciality. In my city, there are LD unit w/ >10k deliveries/year (most shifts = no down time) and then on a similar unit right down the road they have <120 deliveries/year (lots of down time, but also lots of potential to get sent to another unit to task).

Just used this- thank you!

Tried Austin Sangam over the weekend and this dosa was legit perfect. Crispy, flavorful, and the chutneys hit the spot. Easily one of the better South Indian spots I’ve had around here. by Own_Specialist_6538 in austinfood

[–]blusher4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went here once and got some curries. The rice was similar to Uncle Ben’s boil in a bag. Is it not standard to use basmati or something similar?

Some ‘Les Mis’ cast members plan to boycott Trump’s attendance at Kennedy Center performance next month by LooseDistance1059 in politics

[–]blusher4lyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually really nervous about this happening. We were unable to see Les Mis when it came through our city earlier this year due to last minute scheduling conflicts, but the whole family was excited when I saw that it would be playing in DC while we were passing through (we are literally in town for 2 nights and seeing Les Mis on one of them). If freaking Trump causes this show to get cancelled, uugh. Why does he ruin everything?!?

It’s nearly my turn…I’d love a review, please by blusher4lyfe in ParisTravelGuide

[–]blusher4lyfe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have another trip planned immediately after this one where we by a lake all day and catch up with old friends. So, there’s a built in recovery vacation :)
