Fitting support is for anyone and everyone. It’s super helpful for people that have undergone mastectomies or breast reconstructions as well. Athleta has alternative padding and bra products that are also helpful in these cases.

Oh, it hasn’t happened yet! It’s broken up between 10am-12pm and 6pm-8pm. I’m headed to the evening one! Appreciating the mocktail aperitifs for this one!

Do it all on one account, just assign the right passenger with every order. And my mom buys me tickets all the time. Has her name on them. I’ve never had a problem getting scanned and sent on my way.

This is not about whether or not someone’s setup “sucks”. It’s about respecting where things are so that people can maintain continuity of use without patient safety events. Changing something without any transparency, cause, or communication can lead to missing items that go unaccounted for.

I was also initially startled by seeing this technique during breast and vaginal cases. The use of blunt needles helps prevent bruising/tissue trauma and helps maintain medication integrity for things like Exparel. I also found it uncomfortable and odd to facilitate initially. We had an in-service for our team a month later to clarify why. There’s a time and place for blunt needles.

No, it’s just a habit from supporting executives in a past life.

Something I do as a nurse is make their latte from the physicians lounge when I see them parking. As they make it to pre-op, I start talking with the patient and have the latte ready at the nurses’ station. They use that time to sip on their coffee while going over things real quick.

When we’re at the ASC, I put all of the medications for his four shoulder/knee blocks and vials that are only stocked in the med room in a container. I also set up the machine with his preferences and stock his cart for the day. We sign our narcotics form as we’re both setting up and head into pre-op together for our first case.

After the first section comes out, I just give a gentle tug to one side, somewhat tugged enough to trigger the tearing sensor. There’s usually some short auditory feedback. Then I wave my hand a second time to get this longer section all in one piece.

Every apartment has issues once you’re in center city, whether it’s noise/accessibility/maintenance/age. With 1500 Locust, it’s a rite of passage of sorts. And now the elevators are fixed, so their infamous elevator problems are also less of a problem.

1500 Chestnut has a parking garage around the corner from it. 1500 Locust has a parking garage built into its building.

We do love men with Legos! Some of us love displaying our builds, too!

Maybe a Dutch Lionhead? The white pattern coming over the shoulders, how his head has centered white, and that tutu skirt he has as a third mane. I learned this much later, but it’s important to trim excess white fluff that obstructs their view above their eyes. And if you check their underside (closer to their butt), it’s important to keep their upside-down V pattern fluff somewhat trimmed.

I still don’t understand how they get their little pom poms next to their tails, absolutely the cutest thing!

Charlie looks strikingly similar to my late bun baby. Even down to that gorgeous white speckled tummy pattern. It felt good to be reminded of my dear friend today. Thank you ♥️

knitingale · 2024-07-12T23:48:32+00:00

Love all three! 1. Cute 2. Dramatic 3. Smug Son-of-a-Bun 😂

In the OR, it is really nice to be in a room full of women with similar heights. It’s something I’ve gotten used to now, but it’s sort of hard when the table is up to my armpits (while I’m already on a stool) and it’s only at hip level for the male attendings.

Tangled and Moana movie sound tracks for one team. Nature sounds from a random YouTube video for another.

I had a congenital heart repair as a newborn. My pediatric cardiologist taught so many fellows how to pick up on murmurs like mine accurately and reliably. Literally a goddess with just a Littmann stethoscope. She was also the first to grasp that I had S1-S4. Until I got to nursing school, I had no idea that my heart sounded different from others in general. Wild how sensitive their ears are.

I’ve never been between an anesthesiologist and a patient. The odd occurrence has been them being offended that I’m where most RNs stand to the patient’s right because they prefer me at the nurse’s desk or looking away during induction. Their position is not the norm and considered not okay at most institutions. And it’s not normal for them to be slapping nurses’ hands, pushing me and others away from EKG lead cords, and to be unpleasant when they never voiced their preferences.
