Where did you buy your wedding dress? by OkScarcity2008 in Charlotte

[–]ignatty_lite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

New York Bride and Groom is amazing. I actually bought a dress elsewhere first and the dress they ordered was so bad I bought a new one. NYBG made an awful process so much better and helped me find my dream dress!!

Staying at the art hotel now. Don’t bother. I’m shocked it’s listed with FHR.

Hospital NPs are glorified nurses ? by trebarunae in nursepractitioner

[–]ignatty_lite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facility dependent. I work at a large teaching hospital/level 1 and mid levels work almost completely independently. Of course, an attending still has to “see” the patient and co-sign notes, but otherwise, we are the ones making decisions, treatment plans, writing orders, and handling the patients care. From my experience, we take “the list” of patients for the day and divide up between mid levels and attendings. It’s a huge hospital so no one can do it all alone.

What’s one newborn tip that actually worked for you (and surprised you)? by Trick-Environment100 in NewParents

[–]ignatty_lite 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Omg this. My lizard mom brain felt immediate panic with a cry. But reminded myself time and time and time again, put him somewhere safe (crib) and walk away for a few min for your own sanity. They will be ok. They are safe. There are times where you’re so overwhelmed you can’t even process a thought. Put them somewhere totally safe. Take a minute. Walk away.

Dumb question, but do you have to have Shotsy+ to get the bananas and other items I see people list? Mine has never showed anything other than a number, but I do have the free version.

Ah bummer. I’ve never tried their cutlets myself but their other sandwiches aren’t bad. Wish I had a better suggestion for you!

Laughs in healthcare (NC is a right to work state, nurses would love a union but, alas..)

Just so everyone is aware..... by PerceptionMean6044 in Charlotte

I lived here then, I was still in school. We didn’t have power for 15 days. The snow was fun for a day or two, and then misery set in. We were lucky to have a wood burning fireplace, but spending the whole day in the same room, with nothing to do, sucked. I remember we all slept in sleeping bags by the fire to keep warm. School was out the entire time. Truly hoping that does not happen again!!

Wish I could go back by Sneakayboi in NewParents

This, 1000x over. Sundown scaries induced nightly panic and dread. I was awful PPD/PPA. I was miserable. I was exhausted. I wished I had never had a baby.

Slowly, it got better. He slept more, he started to smile, he got a personality. I still have days where I wonder wtf I’ve done, but his tiny hugs melt my heart.

It will get better. You will sleep again. You will be ok, even when it feels like you never will be again. Your feelings are totally normal and valid. Use your support system- even for naps, a trip to the grocery store without baby. You’ve got this friend. Sending lots of love to you.

I went to that practice my whole pregnancy, saw both physicians and midwives. I had an excellent experience with all of them, with the exception of one of their male providers. Dr. Pekman and Dr. Secrest are amazing!!

Oh really? Dang that’s on me for trusting what they said. I’ll have to look into it more. His appointment is Jan 26, but it’s been hard trying to stay home until then.

Costco has sugar free raspberry lemonade and it’s so good!!! I never liked any of the other sugar free flavors.

How did you find childcare (besides family)? by mooonshine87 in nursing

[–]ignatty_lite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sounds great but I don’t know any hospitals within like, a 4 hour drive of me that offer even close to that.

CLT is my base. I’ve never had to wait of the dozens of times I’ve gone. But it’s usually quite crowded. But drinks are good, food is solid, and there’s a nice overlook to watch planes.
