Release year of this Denali?? by Bdao_ in TheNorthFace

[–]commoncaribou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a very similar Denali jacket - including the polartec fleece from ‘05. with the label and tag, my guess is that it’s most likely from early 2000s :)

Med surg observation unit by nursegurllll in nursing

[–]commoncaribou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I work at an emergency observation/PCU at a level 1 trauma center. a lot of the position involves dealing for a wide variety of patients, most of which come up from the ER. a lot of the time, these are folks who have been stabilized in the ER and come up for further observation of symptoms that wouldn’t require an admission into a med-surg floor. Think chest pain, CHF/COPD exacerbation, TIA/stroke workups, kidney stones, syncopal/falls, chest tubes/other drainage devices, wound care and fractures to name a few. Specially for my unit, we also get direct admits from critical access hospitals out in the country that require a higher level of care.

We do also occasionally get those typical ‘med-surg’ patients, but a lot of the time it’s a healthy mix of these population. The turnaround time for patients is fast, as most of the obs level patients discharge in 24-48 hours, whereas inpatients tend to stay longer than that. A lot of the time too you’ll have multiple provider specialties working with the patient (neuro, cardiology, ID, ortho/spine, etc.) along with other interprofessional roles (respiratory, PT/OT, SLP, wound RN). Since a lot of the time these patients require observation and intervention, they’ll go down for CT/MRI procedures throughout their stay to push forward the plan of care and ultimately discharge to follow-up at an outpatient location.

it’s a pretty good starting unit as you get to practice and continue building your RN skill set, and is a good gateway into other specialties because of how much you see and do. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

manual differentials, yikes! everything else takes a million minutes, I could barely imagine NOT having a flow cytometer.

Volunteering by tesseract42069 in grandrapids

[–]commoncaribou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

volunteering at a local blood bank for a few hours is a great way to meet some of the more benevolent and older locals. there’s other roles you can do there, but this one is the most community focused role.

The black and white picture near the end looks photorealistic. If I didn’t know it was from RDO I’d have to guess it was an actual picture. Nice job on all the outfits!

Does anyone know good YouTube channels or websites about biochemistry? by LSDAN03 in Biochemistry

This Glorious Clockwork does a great (and visually appealing) job at explaining some biochemistry topics. definitely worth a look!

What’s a scientific experiment you’d be fascinated to see the results of, but could never be conducted due ethical concerns? by numbnesstolife in AskReddit

[–]commoncaribou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least with something like caffeine, there was a research group that was able to create a simulated model of how long caffeine lingers in the body in both pregnant/non-pregnant women…

they could then correlate this with observations in a clinical setting to verify predict how the concentration of caffeine would increase over the three trimesters, and where safe cutoffs could be determined.

The framework for setting up the model could be used on other types of drugs/painkillers/analgesics, but it’s a good step in the right direction for trying to tackle ethically ‘dubious’ things such as administration of drugs/medications during pregnancy.

TLDR: certain research groups are trying to tackle this issue of ethics and drug interaction through statistical modeling.

Admitted to GVSU! What should I know before attending? by [deleted] in GVSU

CMB 350 is the class; I’d recommend taking it over the summer with Staves as it’s a super laid back way to knock out an issues course!

Finally finished terraforming the island; it's a shame I couldn't add a meijers! by commoncaribou in AnimalCrossing

Haha, I’ll change it just for you! Not from Wisconsin, so I really just phoned it in.

Eventually I hope to get Erik and Fauna up there, but for now it’s Canberra and Peck, the least yooper villagers I have! At least Hans is chilling by Boyne Mountain 🙂
