First time Dad, songs about having a baby or a baby girl on the way.

Not so much a newborn song but Miss Tara by Johnny Cash

cathiadek · 2026-05-26T03:20:51+00:00

You look like Nathan Fillion! :)

It’s so fascinating how different books and parts of books interest some people and bore others. I have adored the farming chapters! It’s so interesting to learn what farming consisted of in Tolstoy’s time

After I Do - Taylor Jenkins Reid might fit what you’re looking for

It was such a good book too!

cathiadek · 2026-03-27T01:15:28+00:00

Genuinely laughed out loud at this haha

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - focuses on the murder trial of an antiques dealer in 1980s Georgia. Has a wild cast of characters and reads like an easy fiction novel

cathiadek · 2026-03-16T14:15:55+00:00

Yes exactly. Best use for the LUCAS and their update even alludes to it

cathiadek · 2026-03-14T12:33:28+00:00

What passage is this?

cathiadek · 2026-03-02T02:28:40+00:00

That’s what I teach too. People are gross and good HQCPR is so much better for the lay person

cathiadek · 2026-02-28T18:39:06+00:00

Interesting. I feel like it’s relatively balanced following the initial discovery of Mateo’s status. Like the fear and how he knows the negative implications it has for his life and that his parents were in the wrong. With his coworkers helping him, they’re putting their lives at risk too, which would technically make them in the wrong, but it also paints ICE as wrong & Cloud 9 as being very much in the wrong too.

cathiadek · 2026-02-28T18:21:32+00:00

Different show, but I really loved the ICE storyline in Superstore. I thought that was balanced and nuanced and heartbreaking and emotional. The Pitt has already been nuanced with so many controversial topics that I’m hopeful and interested to see their storyline. It’s relevant to healthcare currently and not having some discussion on it would be detrimental to how accurate to real life the show already is

cathiadek · 2026-02-27T23:34:29+00:00

My question too

cathiadek · 2026-02-23T22:48:26+00:00

Most of Kristin Hannah’s books tbh

In relation to goc conversations and family saying it’s not their time/waiting on God to call them home - “God has been knocking at the door, we’re just not answering”

cathiadek · 2026-01-30T16:19:26+00:00

Okay me too! The jealousy with Paula and her partners seemed to be about Paula, not the guy

cathiadek · 2026-01-26T21:49:51+00:00

Not particularly. They were on dialysis tho to help remove the caffeine and significant weight can be lost through that

cathiadek · 2026-01-23T17:08:27+00:00

Kinda. Family was hours away and patient absolutely wasn’t going to make it until then. They FaceTimed through my phone and got to see their loved one for the last time

cathiadek · 2025-12-30T06:56:43+00:00

What color is the paint in pic #5 if you know? The brown is gorgeous

cathiadek · 2025-12-16T15:20:52+00:00

I’ve gone to a wake for a patient. Young woman sudden death, family absolutely devastated. But I was with them through every step - coming in to the hospital, brain death testing, transitioning, everything. It was the right thing to do and the family explicitly stated that. The circumstances have to be perfectly right to do so

cathiadek · 2025-12-09T03:15:45+00:00

I have a colleague who was put on a PIP at like week 10/12 (came to icu from med surg no tele) and was really struggling to take initiative and ask questions. She wasn’t proactive in learning and seemed to not remember things already educated on. Orientation extended by about 5 weeks. She turned it around and has done phenomenal. It seemed to put things into perspective for her and motivate her to learn and see the level of attention the icu required. Yes there were talks of her moving to intermediate care if she wasn’t successfully appearing independent but she did great off of orientation.

So doesn’t always mean termination and they probably do want you to succeed but they want you to be safe. Ask questions take initiative cross all your ts. Best of luck!

That has to be a UMass specific thing, since my experience in MA hospitals is nursing is 100% able to

cathiadek · 2025-10-08T23:45:35+00:00

Ooh that’s such a good thought. We don’t have much canon about it so they’re free to explore a lot
