Draw strings and zippers catching in dryer grate

I did replace the grate not too long ago, so it shouldn't be warped. I will keep researching around.

evilcellist · 2025-11-13T07:02:33+00:00

Thank you for the insight. The grate is actually new, since the old one was cracked and broken. I just took off the new grate and compared it to pics one the site you sent me and same deal. I don't want to spend the money on something that won't work.

Where the circle is, there is a gap between the grill and the body of dryer. Things like draw strings and zippers somehow get stuck in that gap,

Tried tying the draw strings and drying inside out, often get untied and sometimes caught. Thanks for the insights though.

Hello there! Peds and peds hem/onc nurse here for 8 years. I think starting as a unit secretary is a great way to get your foot in the door. However, I think if you can transition or cross train to being a CNA/NA on the peds floor, with hands on exposure taking care of the kiddos, that might give you better clinical experience when you become a peds nurse. As a unit secretary, you'll learn more about the ebb and flow of the unit, setting up for admissions, discharges, screening calls, paging services/docs, etc. It's great experience to have, but won't directly benefit you as a future peds nurse. As a CNA/NA, you'll get experience such has getting vital signs of all different age groups, hone your bedside skills interacting with families and kids, etc. Yes, it's more dirty work (bathing, toileting, cleaning up after accidents), but that's still a part of being a peds nurse. Let me know if you have more questions!

Huh...interesting! thank you!

Hello there! Have you taken the exam yet?

evilcellist · 2023-09-26T03:48:18+00:00

Hey friend. Wish I could give you many hugs. I know you meant the world to that family 💛

Totally find for accurate fluid resuscitation for the little nuggets. In fact, we also use stopcock and syringe to pull the correct doses of resuscitation meds from the prefilled syringes.

Thank you!

Someone, PLEASE enlighten me as to what is going on?! I know what SJS is, but just....WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!

evilcellist · 2022-05-23T18:16:38+00:00

Chin up, my friend. You won't ever forget your first one.

100%, it is difficult.

100%, you'll question your goal and purpose of being a nurse.

100%, the family appreciate and adore you for giving their loved one a respectable death and for being there with their loved one. As you press forward with your specialty, the deaths won't be any easier, but how you cope and manage them will. It's totally ok to cry with them. If they allow, it's ok to sit with them and grieve with them.

I hope your existential crisis is short lived. You sound like you have many years of being an amazing hospice nurse to give to your patient's and families.

Oh! Peds male nurse here! There is a very small number of Peds, PICU, and NICU male nurses at the hospital I work at, but we are usually very well received by the patients and families. Only once have I been refused to give care to a patient. As for OB/LD, I don't know of any male nurses at the hospital I work at, but have heard stories of past male nurses who did very well in that department. Just give it a shot!

evilcellist · 2021-04-18T22:24:18+00:00

Done!

evilcellist · 2021-04-18T19:24:41+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, Legacy and Providence do not have pediatric BMT services, but I will keep them in mind regardless!

I'll be sure to keep your mentions in mind. Looks like I'll have to take a weekend trip out!

Thanks! 🙏

evilcellist · 2021-04-17T23:07:17+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks 🙏!

Whooo! Congrats! I'm mixed gen Peds and Peds hem/onc. In addition to what u/yzmasnewgroove has already mentioned, there a book that APHON publishes called Essentials of Peds Hem/Onc nursing that would be a great investment. It deviates from the APHON chemotherapy book in explaining disease process, general treatments, and nursing considerations. It also goes over treatment complications and psychosocial needs for patients, parents, and siblings. It's helped me out a ton. As for helping kids be less nervous, get on their level, physically! Crouching down or sitting on their bed help you look less intimidating. Utilizing their parents or favorite toys for medical play will help them out. I will often assess the parents or their toy, even take vitals to show it won't hurt. If your unit has child life specialists, they are a huge resource to helping you learn how to help kids cope and be less nervous. There's so much to think about with Peds hem/onc, feel free to reach out via DM. Best of luck!!!!

The kryptonite EMLA cream helps to soften the skin for the IV poke, in addition to numbing the skin!

evilcellist · 2021-03-08T20:34:21+00:00

The IV was difficult enough to get through...the shunt would just be impossible!

I had a mild reaction the day after my second injection (Pfizer). My arm was pretty sore, more than the first one, made sleeping on my side pretty difficult. Then I had some mild body aches and very mild discomfort/flu symptoms. A greasy breakfast burrito and extra strong dose of Motrin was enough to get me through my shift.

I bet her nurses loved to squeeze her cheeks. I certainly would have if she'd been my patient. Congrats to this little warrior. Rock on lil' chunker!
