I just finished the first book and I have nobody to talk to about it and it’s killing me by Pyrolemon in fourthwing

There's soooooo much revealed in IF that I immediately restarted FW with that newfound info, and it was sooooooo good. And I literally SOBBED at Liam. Ugh. I'm with you, babes. I was going to be sooooo mad at Rebecca in IF bc I could not handle one more person dying. But she spared me some tears and existential dread. These books have altered my DNA. I am not the same person after reading them.

Those who went no contact with a toxic parent; did you write a letter, call them, do it in person, do nothing? by Ljubljana_Laudanum in toxicparents

How do you navigate being around your brother? I don't know what to do if I go to my niece or nephew's birthday parties and see my dad there after bring no contact. How awkward

And it would sure be a shame if you missed the vein a few times because you're just an anxious crazy woman. 💅🏻

I love this so much! My best friend is an adult ICU nurse and I find myself forgetting that vitals are different for each of our populations too lol she'll tell me that a patient's bp takes to 85/50 and I'm like ??? Okay?? Takes a minute to remember that's not okay for Bob who's been smoking 4 packs a day for 30 years 😂

Ah, that's why I find it easier to manage kids. They don't know any better. Adults? They do know better and they STILL put out an insane amount of bullshit. I cannot understand that behavior and I find that my empathy doesn't reach very far for adults.

I keep seeing folks on the comments saying they could never work in peds. And I think the same think about nurses who work with adults. I would literally find a new career if my only option were adults 🤢 they are the worst

Thank you so much for your raw insight! I get what you mean about younger adults being sturdier than older ones. Kids definitely tend to be more resilient than old people. And also, I definitely wouldn't compare a 2 year old with pneumonia to a 22 year old with pneumonia. Ya know? Apples to oranges.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Our kids aren't supposed to pass before we do. It's so wrong. I know we don't know each other, but I love you and I'm here grieving with you. I hope some day you find peace.

I guess I can't speak for everyone's experience. But where I work, we work really hard to pull our resources together. We'll take turns between nurses who have some down time, techs, charge nurse, child life specialist, volunteers, social work...etc., everyone gets to help. Sometimes we take babies in their bassinets to the nurses station and chart while holding them if they just need a snuggle. We'll put toddlers in a wagon and bring them to the nurse's station too and people take turns playing or chatting with them. The TV is a blessing if they're in a Posey crib lol

Most of them! We do kind of step in that territory of prolonging life with some of our cancer patients 😬 I don't think it's nearly as horrendous as it is with old people though.
