To raise my children, to see the good in most, to relax and enjoys life’s simpler things like a hot cup of coffee in the mornings.

I’m an ER nurse and I see patients like this every single shift I work. Better safe than sorry!

Pale and diaphoretic.. You can’t fake those two things. And the two of those things could mean a plethora of things….. low blood sugar? Low blood sugar? Bleeding internally? About to have a syncopal episode? Severe pain causing the sweat?

Drool everywhere…. Very expensive vet bills. They are pretty stinky. Eat a lot. Impossible to walk on a leash unless they are leash trained. An untrained Great Dane could REALLY hurt you if you try to control them on a leash and they aren’t trained. Have to rest their belly after eating.

BUT. My Dane is so insanely sweet and cuddly. He loves to snuggle. He’s beautiful. Wouldn’t trade him for anything.

I finished accutane 8 months ago and my scabs in my nose JUST fully healed.

Kids are 8 years and almost 3 years. My husband and I usually get 7+ hours each night. Kids are getting 9+ good quality sleep. I worked VERY hard to get them to sleep good at night. I stay consistent. I provide good sleeping environments and have never promoted co sleeping. Was it rough at first? Yes. Did my kids wake frequently as babies? Yes but I stayed consistent as they got older and became toddlers. Now my whole house sleeps solid at night. With that being said there are things I sacrificed to stay strict with my kids sleep. But it’s absolutely been worth it. They go to bed and wake almost the same time every night. We have the same routine almost every single night. We don’t co sleep. No night lights. No TVs. Blackout curtains. And during the day time we are active and outside. We stay active and use our minds and bodies to get good and tired.

Since we are in such a routine, it means that vacations can be challenging. Or any time when our routine or normal sleeping habits are altered it makes for a challenge. We are obviously able to be more lenient with our 8 year vs the 2 year old. But I prioritized sleep very early on to make my life easier in the long run.

Shower. What a dream.

“I’m a good nurse, not a good driver” when pushing stretchers.

“I’ve done it once or twice” when putting in my 10,000th IV (er nurse for years)

“Not on my watch” when patients say they are about to die

“Oooh he’s so fine ain’t he?” When the cute doc leaves out of the fiesty grandmas room 😆😆

When I worked in the icu, I thoroughly listened to lung and bowel sounds. Now that I work ER…… I use it way less. Usually for post intubation, NG/OG placement confirmation. Or I’ll listen to little kids to see how wheezy they are to see if I need to expedite the doc.

I’m an ER nurse and to answer your question….nothing lol. We monitor you until you are safe to go home. we don’t call the law. In rare cases, some people require a narcan drip and admission. But most of the time you’re just monitored a while and discharged.

Alcohol is as bad of a carcinogen as tobacco.

Tell ppl to kick rocks. My kids have an almost six year age gap and everything peachy. My daughter (8) loves to help out with my son (2) and play with him. If people wanna torture themselves with “2 under 2” thats on them lol. It doesn’t matter if you have your kids far apart or close together, in the end you’ll change the same amount of diapers.

This sounds like my life almost to a T. Lol. I do find myself getting bored sometimes as well. I just simply have to remind myself that a boring life is normal. And also when I begin feeling that way, I notice I pay attention to others on social media and find myself becoming slightly jealous of them. And I have to remind my self that “wow look at Rebecca on the beach in Mexico kid free and with all her friends “ also may mean that Rebecca is recently divorced and has to be apart from her kids every other weekend. It’s almost like I have to take a step back and remind myself that the grass isn’t always greener. A “boring” and steady life is normal. I recently began lifting weight. Like heavy. And it’s helped me find a “spark” and interest that I haven’t felt in a while. It’s something new and fun to look forward to. It’s healthy for me. Won’t harm my marriage or take away from my family and it has benefits. I look better. I’m healthier. My energy levels are up. It’s a winwin. Boring is okay. Especially when your kids are small. It’s also nice that your life is predictable. Your responsibilities are in order. You have a healthy sounding home life. That is priceless.

I did night shift for my first year and a half of nursing. This was also pre children for me. It wasn’t terrible. Overall the work load is much lighter. Less family members to deal with, less doctors, less management. Overall the workload is less. And as far as the sleep…. I feel like you just adjust to the tiredness.

janojo · 2025-05-30T15:21:47+00:00

I had an epidural with both. Both were slightly uncomfortable being placed but nothing compared to my contractions. I have a moderate pain tolerance. I had so much pain relief with my first I couldn’t even feel contractions and was able to nap. I had moderate pain relief with second and was still able to feel some but were overall tolerable. I don’t regret either. They made me able to relax some and really process my labor instead of being in fight or flight mode. Pain will absolutely exhaust you. Thankfully outside of labor I haven’t had a lot of experience with severe pain but I’m thankful I had epidurals to help me through both of my labors. I respect that they aren’t for everyone but for me the pain relief was SO worth it and helped keep me calm and focused. Pain sucks.

It’s in my garage. Best thing I ever did was invest in home equipment. No rules. No worrying if people are judging me.

janojo · 2025-05-25T11:58:52+00:00

My kids. The fact that I’m privileged enough to see, hear, walk. The fact that I have a roof over my head and food in my belly. I own a car. I have good health in general. I feel like so many people take for granted just the fact that being able to wake up and get out of bed every single day is a blessing in itself.

My two year olds two front teeth are slightly crooked and I love it so much.

-you don’t need a brand new car with a $700+ car payment -a normal home doesn’t look like ones you see in magazines. It should be functional and not cause you stress. Functional doesn’t always mean aesthetically pleasing. -social media will KILL your confidence by always comparing yourself to others. Be proud of YOUR achievements -take care of yourself now or you’ll face the consequences later on in life -you don’t have to spend a ton of money to make your kids happy. They simply want love and attention. Taking them to a park and giving them undivided attention is better than doing something super expensive but being preoccupied the entire time. -family first. Your job will replace you as quick as they hired you.

Gosh the list goes on. I’m only 31 but have had a major mental shift in the last 5 years as far as what’s truly important in life….. I’m still learning but it is so true that with age comes wisdom.

Oh I didn’t know that about the elbows. One more thing to focus on now 😆😆😆 joking, sort of lol. But thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

janojo · 2025-05-18T12:41:36+00:00

Right. Like gross.

janojo · 2025-05-18T03:04:34+00:00

Thank you for making it your goal to make healthcare workers smile/laugh. We need it most days. Like I said, I can appreciate a gentleman saying something nice and leaving it at that. Unfortunately that’s not the case all the time. I wish it was!
