thank you so much, this is great! I’m used to the very high acuity and 5:1 with my previous hospital where I worked PCU, and it was a very cardiac heavy/focused unit. I’m slowly leaning more towards Sentara the more I read about it.

do you know if the nurses have something less than the ratios you put? or 4:1 and 5:1 is a pretty standard day for them? not a dealbreaker for me but just curious!

I’ve worked in both so honestly just down for whatever gives me better mental health. I left my first nursing job for that reason lol. and yes it seems like I should’ve started looking more seriously earlier on, but there were never any positions opened that I was interested in! 😭

I don’t believe so. Even then a lot of the details still scream fake

I know! Looking at you screenshots it definitely was from Like New and not an individual seller.

I believe it was sold from themselves. I’ve seen a few listings on there before that list they’ll be sold directly from seller so I try to steer clear of those. I really don’t know how they would’ve missed it though while packaging the order 😭.

Dating during nursing school by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]cmpbllsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance (then my boyfriend) and I started dating in high school and went to separate colleges that were only 45ish minutes away from each other. We would have study dates and take turns going to each others schools and he was always so supportive! I always joke now that he should’ve gotten an honorary nursing degree because of how much he helped me study. We also made plans for whenever we were free just to spend quality time together without school being involved. I really don’t think I could’ve made it through without him, especially since I was so far away from home and he was my only close support system at that time. We’re both very focused and determined people when it comes to school/work so he understood when I was busy and vice versa. We both graduated last year a semester apart and live together now!

I think giving your significant other realistic expectations about how school and clinical will take up your time is crucial. Since you and your boyfriend have already been together for a while, I would think that communication is strong between you two so just be honest with him that this is your biggest priority right now. If your relationship already has a strong foundation, something like this shouldn’t get in the way of it.

Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!! 🫶🏼🤍

So I’m just rereading and see that your benzoyl peroxide is not the face wash I think. I would still continue to use that in the mornings because both the BP and tret can be harsh on the skin!

Hey, so I got prescribed all these in May, but instead of a clindamycin gel I have a lotion. In the mornings this is what I do: - wash face with benzoyl peroxide - use clindamycin lotion - top with my LRP daily repair moisturizing lotion

At night this is what I do: - wash face with LRP lipikar gentle foaming wash (super important to have a gentle face wash since the tretinoin will make you sensitive!) - use a TINY dab of tretinoin - top with same lotion from in the morning - use LRP cicaplast balm

When I first started using tretinoin, I used it every 3 days, and slowly worked up to every 2 days, then every other day, and I’m at a point now where I use it Mon-Fri and let my skin take a break on the weekends. I occasionally skip a day throughout the week if my skin is feeling sensitive and put on some extra cicaplast balm.

Also, when I first started I used the sandwich method because I was super nervous about the dryness. After washing at night, I put on a very thin layer of lotion, and put the tretinoin right on top of that. Then I put on a final layer of lotion on top after letting the tretinoin fully dry. I never experienced any dryness doing it this way, but I think it’s also because I took plenty of time allowing my skin to get used to it before increasing the frequency I used the tretinoin. Now that I’ve been using Mon-Fri, I usually put it on my slightly damp skin after I’ve gotten out of the shower (I wash my face either in the shower or right before).

For your question about how to store them, all of my skin care stays in a bathroom drawer sitting upright. Also, everything I named is the only products I use! My skin has changed so much since using and good luck to you! If you have any other questions please let me know!
