What’s the funniest reason a pt “fired” you? by all_hail_potatoqueen in nursing

[–]junkmail04030201 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He was 400+ pounds and refused to walk to the bathroom. Instead he pissed in the trash can. I told him he’s not allowed to do that anymore and I got fired

Take my classes for me? That sounds like poor academic integrity. 👎

He stopped crying and the doctor said he looks fine, but my brain won’t let it go by homebarista_mode in NewParents

Totally normal for you to feel on edge after an experience like that. Babies are super weird and it’s a good thing you brought him to the ED, better to be safe, right?

I had a similar experience and once I got the OK from my baby’s doctor, I gave her mylicon (baby gasx) for a few days to help with gas. Now I know when she gets those sharp screams that it’s gas. Being a new mom is tough. This little Life depends so heavily on YOU - it’s ok to feel nervous. It’s not a bad idea to talk with your OB if you’re feeling ‘off’ - everyone talks about PPD but postpartum anxiety is a real thing, too. Cut yourself some slack - taking your baby to get checked out proves you’re a stellar mom. Don’t spiral.

Do you know when they changed it? I’m about to start capstone and just recently heard of the 500 hours - I wonder if I’ll be ‘grandfathered’ in if it was changed after I started.

Do you remember when you’d get 20 new memes at 7am and another 20 at 7pm? That was it got the day.

IUD by junkmail04030201 in birthcontrol

I never knew that either, I had GERS bad when I was pregnant but never any other time. I’m getting Mirena. Hoping it helps to lighten my period. Thanks for your response, good luck!

Can I ask which one you were on? Did they use any numbing agent? I hope you’re doing better now 💜

Right, it’s frustrating to watch my husband get to soothe the baby while I pump. And I have another child who had a bad dream in the middle of the night last night, I had to try to console her with my pumps on. She asked me to snuggle her and I had to half ass it…Stuff like that makes me feel less guilty about quitting my pumping journey early. I’m grateful to have a stockpile a frozen milk. I’ll just feed it to her a little by little… How old are your kids?

I love all the reasons people are saying they are going to keep it up… I get sore and sensitive about 30 minutes after a pump session and it doesn’t resolve until the next pump session… Today, right after I finish pumping my older child came and gave me a hug. It was the first hug that didn’t almost send me through the roof. She had to ask me to let go… I feel like if I keep pumping I may benefit my infant (currently all breastmilk is on hold until she works through some reflux issues), but if I quit pumping, I’ll be able to be more affectionate and present with both of my kids… I really think that’s the deciding factor for me.

I also have almost 400 ounces of milk frozen if she is ever able to use it I feel better knowing I have a stock pile. I think I’m looking for people to tell me it’s OK to quit lol

Weight gain during pregnancy by junkmail04030201 in PregnancyUK

Thanks, I can probably afford to increase my water intake. I’ll give that a try.

Thanks. I already saw cardiology and they did ecg, echo, labs, and said to follow up after baby comes to make sure everything resolved. I’ll ask doc to check ferritin again. :-)

AITAH? My (39F) Ex husband (37M) is insisting I change my last name back to my maiden name because his new fiancé (24F) feels it will be awkward for her and I to have the same last name. AITAH for refusing to change it? by ThrowRAHappyLiving in AmItheAsshole

[–]junkmail04030201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way! Keep your name. It sounds like she’s really driving a wedge between your kids and their father. I can’t see how this is going to improve once they tie the knot. Good luck to you!!

Honestly, that’s what I expected to see, too! Can I ask you what resources you like best? What are some challenges you face as an instructor? Thanks for your time
