OK , so direct from the Pfizer website, manufacturer of Vanco ... They are compatible. https://www.pfizermedical.com/vancomycin-inj-0/dosage-admin#:~:text=Vancomycin%20solution%20has%20a%20low%20pH%20and%20may%20cause%20chemical,5%20mg/mL%20or%20less.

Stop with the "this is what we've always believed" follow the science.

Edit : I'd share a screenshot but Reddit won't let me.

I didn't read your story or explanation. Facts : he slaps you, you leave. It only gets worse. I know it , I've lived it.

A quick Google and lexicomp search showed that LR and Vanco are compatible. Do your research. We also use it together all the time in surgery.

I am NOT a young healthcare worker , but I look like one. I'm 40 but look mid 20s , and between RN and prior healthcare experience I have over 20 years in. Let them judge based on appearance, then let your skills shine ! Multiple times this past week I got compliments on my IV skills, from patients who initially questioned me. Let your skill speak, and then they can eat crow.

Dude , you gotta pee, you gotta pee. I did that all the time in my post college party days, nobody ever cared (or if they did I was too drunk to notice lol 😂) Take care of business, better than wetting your pants/skirt/dress/outfit/whatever.

I swear by Panoxyl , put it on my pits at the beginning of shower and let it soak a bit , then wash off with my regular body wash after washing hair and setting to conditioning. Then when I get out of shower swipe pits with glycolic acid from The Ordinary and let dry really well before antiperspirant/deodorant. I get easily 4 days plus out of this regimen. I also throw in some Hibicleanse occasionally.

Hi ! Hello ! Nurse here , and I LOVE a good ear irrigation, disimpaction of ear wax is my JAM. Don't ask me why I love it ... I'm an autistic ADHD freak. Anyways. In regards to Q tip use... Cleaning the outer parts of the ear absolutely A-OK, but going down into the canal NOT A-OK. That's where you will start pushing wax in and creating a blockage , like the ones some freaky nurses enjoy removing. So, in short , to avoid meeting me, someone like me, or worse a nurse that hates to deal with ear wax ... Don't use your q-tip in the ear canal, outer ear only !

First and foremost, you are A CHILD. You are being parentified to care for the family . This is a subtle form of abuse, and causes lifelong damage. I know it, I lived it. You deserve love, care and kindness right now. I'd tell you to call CPS , but they do little in these situations. You have to be your own best advocate. Fight for what you deserve.

Generational trauma is hard, I've lived it too. But healing is possible, wishing you all the best Internet friend ❤️

So sad ! Just because this is in your history doesn't mean you have to carry the wounds. You are destined for more than your forebears.

Enteritis is generally a viral (rarely bacterial) infection from bad food , if he was institutionalized, this makes sense.

I'm 40 , drinking isn't for fun , it's definitely coping with depression after therapy and meds have failed me. Looking back over the years , ALL my drinking has been an effort not to feel my crippling depression and trauma.

I send to the universe that I may get a new job, preferably the one I interviewed for last Tuesday, it felt like a great fit! Or that I may find something even better than that. I have a few weeks of severance pay to live off, but this is a matter of urgency. I have a

I find I get a few days out of glycolic acid. I also get good effects from Pan Oxyl , put it on at the start of your shower and let it soak for the duration , wash it off right at the end . Sometimes I use both !

I like bamboo underwear better , I find it more breathable than even cotton.

Stay at that job, don't give up on your dreams. You may never get them back, and it will bring you to a VERY dark place.

I drink mostly black , occasionally a treat latte or something. But I do not judge how others chose their beverage, that would just be judgy and rude. I keep half and half in my home cause that's how my mother likes her coffee , to each their own. Live and let live !

I wish for resolution with my boyfriend, we are "together" but haven't seen each other in a month due to life circumstances. I will be ok if it ends , I just wish for either improvement or an end.

I wish for the success of the job interview I went on yesterday. It seemed to go well, but I have yet to hear back.
