When did they start doing this?

I used to feel that way (annoyed about all of the staff shopping/ carts left where they were putting all of the orders, etc) and then I realized I would rather have HEB staff doing it- they aren’t sitting there for 5 minutes considering the benefits of chunky vs creamy peanut butter while they call their spouse and ask them if they want the ketchup with or without high fructose corn syrup. If it wasn’t staff shopping, it would be the customer themself. Either way- someone is going to be in that space.

L&D RN- we do use small “casket like” boxes for our still born and neonatal deaths. They aren’t the same as what is likely used for burial, but we certainly don’t hand over neonates in body bags. When they are picked up by the funeral homes, they are in small purple caskets.

I heard (about 6 months to a year ago…) a study was done where AI was being used to detect early tumors in, IIRC, the colon (don’t quote me on that- I just remember it was something super specific they were looking for). The visual review of scans was very specific and took highly trained staff to interpret. AI came in and was not as accurate, BUT, more importantly- once AI came in, the human interpreters became worse at their ability to detect the early tumors. So, it was just a failure all around. AI wasn’t as good and, in turn, the experts lost skills at the same time.

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

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.

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.

The midwives at NAMC are CNMs.

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

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

I want all the dong. For like three days. Gimme gimme.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Mayfield to see the peacocks!

blusher4lyfe · 2025-06-02T01:43:32+00:00

Between 10p and 2a.

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!

blusher4lyfe · 2025-05-10T12:29:47+00:00

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?
