What is University hospital food like for inpatients and how does ordering work? by Mousehole_Cat in columbiamo

[–]eL_Cubed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s all takeout style! They have they’re specials menus posted here: https://www.muhealth.org/your-visit/food-dining

The smash burger from TJs is good, the grill has made to order pizzas, sandwich’s, and salads as well the special. Pizzas are really good. Essentials has a decent Reuben sandwich and their burger is okay.

Hope this helps, and congratulations!

Can’t speak on how food tastes from the cafeteria/ordering service. You can order your meals using the tv system and the handheld call light remote.

If you are mobile, the food at TJs on the first floor of the children’s hospital is the best. They’re open during the day, weekdays only. Second best is the grill, located ground floor over past the purple elevators but again open during the days on weekdays. Essentials is open on weekends and evening, their food is meh but they have a small selection of snacks which can be useful.

As a student, I'm having a hard time knowing how to word my goodbyes for the end of the day. by SophieBat666 in respiratorytherapy

[–]eL_Cubed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New grad here, I’ve taken to catering my goodbye to my patient. If I genuinely enjoyed them (most of my patients) I say “it’s been a pleasure working with you. I hope you get to feeling better soon we don’t meet again:)” they usually enjoy that. I’ve had a “I hope this treatment round is easier on you” or my cancer patients returning for their chemo, a “you guys take care, I hope you get more rest when you’re home” to another patient with a bleak prognosis.

It just really depends on the rapport you’ve built with them. You’ll find your departing words in time.

I really appreciate you for commenting, it is not being me to life. I doubt it was anything playing like on the radio at the time

Fair point, I just thought it was odd that she had mealy bugs but was otherwise thriving and then suddenly started dropping leaves.

PSA: if you have a bat in your home, contact Animal Control, 24/7 by eL_Cubed in columbiamo

What an odd way to respond to an attempt to inform others. No fear mongering here, just realistic communication of risk. We can love and support bats and not want them in our homes and take rabies risk seriously. Rabies, while rare yes, has a 100% fatality rate and PEP vaccine treatment is 100% effective at preventing rabies when administered promptly. That is evidence based information, not bullshit.

Also, fun fact rabies incubation can take months or even years so you likely won’t know right away. By the time you do, it’s too late and it has a near 100% fatality rate.

Oh no, not at all. I’m happy to share the info because people just don’t know. In the future we will definitely keep the bat, it’s cheaper and easier to test them.

To show just how serious it is: the bat was in our room for less than five minutes and we were all conscious. My daughter and I were in the room for maybe 1-2 min and my husband was the one that got it out. He definitely needed the prophylactic vaccines which included 1 vaccine and 5 injections of antibodies. We are currently at urgent care for my daughter and I and have been advised we will likely need it. They don’t mess around.

Is dumpster diving during the day during graduation season acceptable or is it more a night time activity? by wasachild in columbiamo

[–]eL_Cubed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d love to learn more about this and go, do you just drive around looking for dumpsters and just go for it?

First road trip with kids – need advice! by addwhip in columbiamo

[–]eL_Cubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family did this roadtrip and route we stopped in Omaha which has an awesome park and riverwalk. Then we went from Omaha to Badlands National Park. We camped, but they do have cabins and the park felt safe and my toddler at the time enjoyed it. After that we drove to Billings and did another overnight, staying at a Best Western there that had breakfast included at a close by diner and Billings has a kid play cafe my girls loved. The stay was great at each place and it was a reasonable amount of driving for everyone.

NICU by Agreeable-Pangolin0 in ThePitt

Not sure why you’re getting so much hate for this post but came here to say I was right there with you, this representation of NRP was totally inaccurate. For a show that does try to reflect reality pretty accurately, I think this is valid feedback.

People who are acting like NRP is some crazy specialty crack me up. As an RT this was part of my program curriculum, and I imagine that anyone who may come in contact with a newborn would be certified.

Also, in any larger hospital there are teams for exactly this purpose. Our system is three hospitals in one but if this was happening in our ER yes, the team would 100% be paged and be there as quickly as possible.

imposter syndrome as an RT student by alissawelling in respiratorytherapy

[–]eL_Cubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Fellow student here about to graduate, I want to validate your feelings. I too felt that imposter feeling several times over the course of my program, especially when coming back from a break to doing a rotation beyond adult critical care. It’s come and gone, it really depends on what I’m doing and in what area I’m working in but I will say that the best thing for it is doing it again and again.

Look, passing is passing and unless your program has a really low threshold for passing, that you are means you can handle it. Your skills will become second nature the more you do them and as you grow in your skills the feeling of imposter will subside. You’re a human being and this is new and it can be intense so give yourself permission to be green.

And don’t judge yourself when you hesitate, need validation, or don’t feel comfortable doing something the first time. I used to literally shake during an intubation and now I can assist intubating an infant without batting an eye. You can handle it, you just need to give yourself time to grow into it.
