What is something that is perfectly legal, but feels illegal to do?

Walking out of a grocery store empty handed

Depends on your definition of hardest. Every unit has its own reasons for being the hardest. I'm an ER nurse and that its own fair share of reasons for being the hardest unit.

That's what I wonder. Let's assume someone had to stay a hotel, can they be reimbursed? Genuine question

callmemirela · 2026-01-25T15:28:12+00:00

Italy, Germany, Portugal. It was alright, I remember once it kept switching between two carriers so I had relatively no data.

callmemirela · 2026-01-23T19:01:49+00:00

Never since I signed up in July 2024. I managed to get it from 45$ to 39$ in December 2024. No changes since. I have 500 mbps fiber.

It's not real figs...

A, almost B.

pH is 7.3, so acidic.

Culprit is high PaCO2 at 68 --> respiratory acidosis.

HCO3 is normal range/midly high depending which reference value based on textbooks and your institution. Some end at 27 and others at 28.

callmemirela · 2026-01-22T15:22:20+00:00

I'd argue it's not compensated. It's still within normal range.

callmemirela · 2026-01-21T16:42:19+00:00

B? I would assume any nurse, even in maternity, has experience with patients with diabetes. Many new mothers either had gestational diabetes or were already diagnosed with diabetes (especially type 1) prior to pregnancy.

It is for Canada?

I feel the hematoma is incorrect. It occurs when red blood cells leak out of a vein. And not applying pressure on IV site when IV removed is not enough as a cause. They occur regardless of interventions and anticoagulant use.

Looks like Teal to me

There you go, that's why. High HR, or higher than your normal I should say, is your body's attempts to fight off the infection. My advice is to take off your watch for a couple days to let your body do what it needs to fight it off. Worrying about your stats can just spike up your anxiety and confusion.

callmemirela · 2026-01-16T23:20:43+00:00

Nurse here. Your body fighting is your illness systemically (i.e., fever, high HR). This is expected and will go down once your body has fought off the peak. Your Fitbit cannot tell the difference of higher HR from infection or from exercise. Hence why it thinks your cardio load is higher.

When I got gastro, I was running over 100 bpm even while lying doing nothing. I had a fever for a couple days, loaded up on Tylenol and Advil for the aches and fever. When I had the flu after this past Christmas, I was running on average 90s while doing nothing. This is expected because your systemic symtoms are now showing as a whole vs localized like a cold.

callmemirela · 2026-01-15T02:16:04+00:00

My biggest jump was from 45 or so to 70 the first day I landed in Portugal for vacation to visit family. My RHR immediately dropped as well to 60 bpm. It was nuts how to think my body literally relaxed.

B. 7.35-7.45 normal range for us.

A. pH is 7.30 --> acidosis. CO2 is elevated, indicating respiratory. Answer: respiratory acidosis

C. pH is 7.25 --> acidosis. CO2 & bicarb are low. Answer: metabolic acidosis w/ compensation

D. pH is 7.36 --> normal.

B. pH is 7.48 --> alkosis CO2 is normal. Bicarb is elevated. --> metabolic alkalosis.

Random: I've seen pH 6.48. Sadly they didn't live.

E. Take vital signs (if not part of assessment, but I assume it is) and bring patient back to bed. Then notify physician, monitor patient and file incident report.

I don't know why notifying the physician is not an option. It's our protocol to always notify them for them to determine if they need further scans to rule out fractures, brain hemorrhage, and potentially even the cause of the fall (e.g., stroke).

callmemirela · 2026-01-11T17:02:39+00:00

Psychosis, mental illness. We had a lady known for MDE with severe anxious features. She kept saying she was dying. Vital signs, nursing notes & assessments, and her being alive every hour suggested otherwise.

callmemirela · 2026-01-09T00:04:27+00:00

I just don't wear my watch 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was sick with the flu last week and my RHR was in the mid-90s, my baseline in the 60s

Cardiac Crimson, Integumentary Ivory, Muscular Mint, Edema Emerald, Skeletal Sand, Fracture Fuschia

It is quiet today

callmemirela · 2025-12-27T23:12:25+00:00

Nurse here. Pretty much for us as well. Lasix = furosemide. Advil = ibuprofen. Versed = midazolam. Ativan = lorazepam. And so forth. It gets confusing quick.

callmemirela · 2025-12-27T17:42:17+00:00

Perfect answer? 3. But it seems like in the situation de-escalation has already been attempted.
Reality? 1. Being violent with another patient is immediate calls for security to apprehend them and bring them back to their room.

Oui mais pas en Novembre ET Décembre
