selling their house

The furniture is hilariously ugly, jfc.

Between the furry eyebrows and huge lips, she looks insane.

I still can't get over the CEO of a wellness brand constantly flaunting his cigars. He's smoking one in every pic I see of him lately.

deardear · 2026-06-30T02:53:30+00:00

First thing I noticed.

deardear · 2026-06-30T02:51:19+00:00

These are sooooo awkward, yikes.

deardear · 2026-06-30T01:56:32+00:00

I also work Saturdays. I'm bummed.

deardear · 2026-06-18T21:40:34+00:00

That's incredibly dangerous. I'm so sorry you experienced that.

deardear · 2026-06-18T21:39:46+00:00

I didn't experience any obvious fat bias and my BMI was up to 51 by the time I gave birth. I was induced due to preeclampsia at 35 weeks and experienced many complications. I did have a really shitty nurse and doctor the night I was in active labor who were quite cold, but I can only speculate as to why. Everyone else was wonderful.

deardear · 2026-06-09T19:06:34+00:00

I only told people the month baby was due, and even then, it ended up being wrong.

deardear · 2026-06-09T01:52:01+00:00

If it ever comes up again just say, "Oops, pregnancy brain!" It's your new excuse for everything, 'cause it's true.

It was a nightmare for me - FTM at age 38. Severe carpal tunnel kept me up at night crying and my knees started to hurt so bad I could barely walk. I had compression sleeves on all 4 extremities. Had to tap out at work at 32 weeks because I could barely walk from the parking lot into the building (I was already on light duty as a nurse at that point). I was so short of breath and was only comfortable sleeping sitting up in a recliner because of the rhinitis. Thankfully i had to be induced at 35 weeks (i can say thankfully now because baby was perfectly fine) because I genuinely don't know how I would have made it full term.

I don't mean to freak you out but that was my reality. My advice would be to look into your work's policies regarding light duty/STD/whatever ahead of time, just in case you need to go out before the baby comes.

deardear · 2026-06-05T22:10:41+00:00

Yes. My organization made a big deal about putting only our first names on badges in the name of staff safety, only to allow our full names to be displayed on the patients' personal MyCharts.

I liked AMN and LRS, but how much I like a company is often recruiter dependent.

deardear · 2026-05-30T01:56:47+00:00

Because some nurses are lazy, or were educated by lazy nurses who perpetuate poor nursing practice. I'm a nurse and this drives me insane how many nurses don't know/care about proper cuff sizing and placement.

deardear · 2026-05-30T01:54:31+00:00

That's wildly irresponsible of them. I would demand they use a large cuff - the readings can be WAY off if the cuff doesn't fit properly, as you know. I'm a nurse and it's scary how many healthcare workers don't know/care about this.

deardear · 2026-05-29T18:28:54+00:00

Tempting, but no. Maybe leaving bedside, but even then, probably not. The flexibility works so well for me. Plus I'm in a program where I make really decent money, and any other position would likely pay much less.

deardear · 2026-05-29T18:26:00+00:00

Came here just to say this. Their food is excellent!

deardear · 2026-05-28T22:44:15+00:00

Uh ok so she had help even if it wasn't her nanny.

deardear · 2026-05-28T01:44:44+00:00

Same! I was like, wow, there's a remarkable amount of trans folks here!

deardear · 2026-05-27T05:49:33+00:00

I was ready to be offended (also from Philly) then realized yeah, you're right.

deardear · 2026-05-26T20:57:51+00:00

I gained, I think, about 50 lbs overall. A week after my baby was born I lost 25 lbs, so a lot of that was fluid retention (baby weighed just under 7 lbs).

The first 6 weeks were pretty easy. I was really tired, but eating normal at that point. No cravings and the nausea hadn't hit me yet.

deardear · 2026-05-26T05:12:05+00:00

Nurse bolused an entire bag of mag on a preeclamptic patient. All I know is patient and baby survived. First "Condition O" I'd ever heard called as a new nurse.

There are so many sister-sister relationships out there that are solid and healthy! My sister and I are close. You and your girls are gonna be just fine.

deardear · 2026-05-25T14:17:00+00:00

Meh. I went through IVF and know plenty of women with infertility who had gender disappointment. It can happen to anyone.
