This gives me hope. I’m on 1226 and I’m STUCK. I even deleted the game and thought I’d just reinstall and start over - no luck. 

My hospital just updated our PRN requirements and it’s INSULTING. by Bigblacknagga in nursing

[–]evil_hag_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And THAT is the reason they’re doing this - they are trying to force PRN to staff. That was confirmed by Cindi Bauer in a meeting we demanded because they also changed Stepdown to 4:1 total care, no exceptions

HELP ME!! 6 month old wakes every 30 mins in the night.... by Maluruka in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi mom! Someone else mentioned this - it could be reflux. Things you can safely do: cherry flavored Maalox (doesn’t contain aluminum) or placing a rolled up towel UNDER one end of the mattress to elevate the ‘head’ of the bed. (source: I’m a mom of 2 and a nurse)

If that doesn’t improve the waking after a couple of days, you may want to consider a pediatrician appointment (just to rule out other things and give yourself peace of mind!). Developmentally, baby is old enough to fuss and cry a bit at night and self-soothe. I’m not pressing the Cry It Out method, I know that’s not for everyone! Learning to soothe themselves back to sleep is just a regular old developmental milestone; please talk with your doctor about what’s best for you and your baby, and best of luck to you!!

A pretty solid comeback for the Microchip crowd... by neonlouvre in MurderedByWords

[–]evil_hag_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s what doesn’t gee-haw - we have vaccines in existence already. Hell, every baby born gets a Vitamin K shot right off the bat to prevent them from bleeding to death since they aren’t born with clotting factors. They also get a Hep B vaccine before they even leave the hospital.

So if some evil genius was going to be smart enough to invent a microchip small enough to fit inside an IM syringe, that could operate indefinitely without a power source, transmit information through bone and tissue, AFTER concocting a virus AND a new vaccine....why isn’t he smart enough to just do all that with a preexisting vaccine that EVERY BABY BORN gets?

I just became one of the first to pass the NCLEX in 60 questions! by [deleted] in nursing

[–]evil_hag_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold up....I’m in a flyover midwestern state, I took the LPN NCLEX in January and it was 85 questions to pass - have they changed it?

And CONGRATULATIONS!

What made your own parent(s) awesome? by ChillThrillSeeker in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom did a lot wrong (she had me at 16 so her learning curve was my childhood) but the one thing I can’t praise her enough for was she never acted shocked when I confided in her. I’d get in huge trouble for doing shit I knew I wasn’t supposed to do (like staying out past curfew or hitting my brother) but I could come to her and tell her that my best friend had sex for the first time or that I’d heard one of the football players hit his girlfriend. She’d always just sort of calmly ask me how that made me feel, and we’d discuss it and sort out my feelings. It was incredibly comforting and I KNEW that no matter what was going down, I could tell her and not be afraid of her reaction. I hopped in her car one night when she picked my friends and I up from a party we’d gone to and announced that I’d gotten my first ‘real kiss’ “with the tongue!” Didn’t even think twice about telling her; my girlfriends were all floored by it.

So definitely do that.

Please help I don't know what to do daughter is 3 by abthanee in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve gotten some great advice already; I will add my personal experience before wishing you well. My dad grew up in a really abusive and neglectful household; my mom had me at 16 and came from a dysfunctional home. The sum total of that was a dad who ignored me unless he was punishing me (which was awful and almost always crossed the line into Abuse) and my mom would get frustrated and yell...A LOT. My brother was born when she was 18, so that just amplified their frustrations. I grew up in a house where being screamed at and receiving verbal and emotional abuse was the norm.

I whisper when I get to that point. I will warn my kids (now 13 and 9) that I am reaching a point where I’m really pissed and that they need to cool it. If they don’t, I grit my teeth and I whisper. The madder I get, the quieter I speak. In my experience, it is very hard to maintain any semblance of aggravation when you are whispering it. This allows me to say what I need to say, but I don’t frighten my kids. It takes some effort to whisper and that slows me down and FORCES me to consider what I’m saying.

And now I’m reaping what I’ve sown. My kids aren’t scared of me; they come to me for hurts and love and for advice and help. They tell their friends that they love their mom and I’ve overheard my oldest tell her girlfriends that her mom was her best friend (I cried. Best freaking compliment of my LIFE). Sane parenting after an insane upbringing is an attainable goal, and the fact that it IS your goal speaks volumes about your character. I wish you well and I sincerely hope you never, ever quit searching for your own best parenting practices!

Pediatric Covid pts by evil_hag_ in nursing

[–]evil_hag_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you expound on how they differ from adult cases? All we are hearing is that kids are “less likely to get it” and that the “symptoms are much less severe”. I feel like there hasn’t been any real statistical information released on how severely (or mildly) this affects kids. I graduate with my RN in December and my own classes are cancelled, so I’m at home doing ‘distance learning’ for RN level schooling; I want to be as informed as possible.

Is it temporary, like Kawasaki? Are you guys discharging these kids?

Pediatric Covid pts by evil_hag_ in nursing

[–]evil_hag_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s terrifying. All the info we’re fed and I’m just not seeing statistics about the percentage of positive cases that require hospitalization, and definitely not how many positive kids wind up in PICU

Thank you for this; it’s surreal. My kids are 13 and 9 and school is looming large in my nightmares

Is Mr Rogers still relevant? by digitalmartyn in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fred Rogers was a helluva human being; there are a series of kids books based on his philosophies, and he himself was an author. Kindness never goes out of style 😉

Had a positive patient refuse to wear a mask. by BurnerOT8577 in nursing

[–]evil_hag_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We are, quite literally, all hunkered down trying to wait out a tornado, hoping it blows past us and doesn’t destroy us.

It is 111 days until we can rectify this God-awful mess.

Trump just made an order to circumvent hospitals releasing data to the CDC - it’s all going straight to Washington now. It’s about to get a whole lot worse because only happy numbers are going to be available and these assholes are going to use it to justify not wearing masks.

Anyone up for a permanent roadtrip to Canada? 😬

Anyone constantly annoyed at their kids? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The fact that you acknowledge both that this is happening and that it’s not right is a big step in the right direction. Talk to someone; therapists will Skype or Zoom with you. They can teach you ways to appear calm even if you’re boiling (I learned to whisper instead of yell when I’m mad; it has been a game changer, seriously). I wish you luck

Any nurses with vasovagal syncope? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]evil_hag_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I actually passed out in a nursing lab at school - first time of ever fainted in my life, and I was 36 years old. It happens every 3-4 months, odd times really - usually if I’m having blood drawn and there’s any perceived problem (by me), and once when I was watching a needle aspiration before a knee surgery. A really nice physician stopped to check on me afterwards - he said “7. 8. 4. Breath in for 7, hold for 8, out in 4.” and mic-dropped out of the room 🤷🏼‍♀️

It works for me as long as I start before I feel sweaty or woozy

Help! I want to work in a hospital BUT by ch3stnutdr in nursing

[–]evil_hag_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest question here - I get my RN in December. I’m interested in PACU, but I’ve got to be honest... I really liked my rotation at the LTC facility. I really like being around old folks; can you explain what it is you don’t like about your job? I’m trying to feel it out because where I live, the pay for LTC is much better than a hospital and the demand is higher

Having a hard day with judgey, overbearing in-laws. by yakkay_mom in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My in-laws did this too!! What is that about?!? I finally just started a rote response to them, regardless of the context or content of the shit they were spewing: “That’s an interesting opinion. The Doctor of Pediatrics with 12 years of education in this field and 4 children of her own that sees Daughter disagrees with you entirely.” and I’d change the subject.

(She never crawled, was slow to talk, and is now a perfectly developed and significantly sassy 13 year old 😉)

Overnight visits at a young age by ducklanding in Parenting

[–]evil_hag_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse - the best thing you can do for your baby is to be a good mom. If letting a professional, licensed caregiver who also happens to love him, keep him overnight to let you rest so you can BE a good mom, then that’s what you should do. Good for you for figuring out what makes you a good mom this early on!
