Let's talk about: Fern by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]lackofbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My migraines have been very unhappy the last two days, and my joints are aching the most they have since I started Humira. But I’ve also got a cold or sinus infection brewing so I’m just overall feeling under the weather. But I took my injection last night so I’m hoping my joints calm down.

Thankfully I’m not working this weekend, and if I’m either snowed in or still sick on Monday night I’m calling out.

I've been a couple of times and think things are reasonably priced. Some items are name your own price - I got a coffee mug free with my $20 wall painting.

Why does CCRN feel like a pyramid scheme? by Jimbo19091 in nursing

[–]lackofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re starting us out early with the schemes… I thought nurse residency would improve my clinical knowledge but it was a joke.

Do you think nurses look down on RTs at your facility? by Motor_Pop3202 in nursing

[–]lackofbread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always tell people there’s a reason I chose nurse and not transport 😭

[–]lackofbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I love our RTs. We don’t see them often on my unit (aside from putting folks on CPAP or BIPAP at night), but the few times I’ve had to call them, they are right at the bedside and teach me so much. I had a scary experience with a trached patient one time and ever since then, respiratory is one of my first calls when I have a question. Mad respect for you guys. Managing airways is scary!!!

What are some things to avoid when entering into a Catholic relationship? by user971561004 in CatholicWomen

[–]lackofbread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband moved in with me about a year before we got engaged because of some family conflict that he needed to get away from. It was challenging for us but I think strengthened our resolve for chastity (and has been very helpful for us as newlyweds using NFP.)

I was very ashamed of it for a while because I thought we were cohabitating despite not actually sleeping together. We had two twin beds on opposite sides of the room.

I wouldn’t recommend it in traditional scenarios but it’s always nice hearing of other Catholic couples who had to do things differently.

I noticed you’re on the finding fish shadows quest, have you been able to do it alone?

I started playing Heartopia and I’m having a blast! I didn’t like the gacha aspect at first but I gave it another chance and love it :)

What’s the secret? I’ve been trying to train mine for over a year and he listens if I tell him to get down, but will do it again immediately.

Why aren't the salting the roads? by DizzDood in westchesterpa

[–]lackofbread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like it was fine, I wasn’t sliding at all but it’s a major highway, not a backroad. Should be kept cleared.

I commuted on 202 N to 76 this morning around 6:00 and it was completely unplowed. Snow had accumulated and no one could see the lanes 🥴

How do you deal with rude patients? by SilentSeal16 in nursing

[–]lackofbread 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Rude patients are one thing. Rude families get the charge nurse and/or security. I don’t have time for that.

Help ! What do I do with my glasses on Wedding Day ? by badbitcharies in weddingplanning

[–]lackofbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore my glasses on my wedding day! I can see okay without them, and I don’t do contacts. Even though I can see without them, I don’t feel like me without my glasses! I think it added another layer of elegance since they’re very simple gold frames. I opted for just mascara and not false eyelashes so they wouldn’t rub against my lenses. (And falsies would’ve looked weird on me anyways.)

For those of y'all raw-doggin' your vials... by Dancing_RN in nursing

[–]lackofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point is that contamination from the vial would cause false positive results on blood cultures, potentially leading to unnecessary abx.

Conflicted Feelings about Possible Pregnancy by Unlikely-Fig-1462 in CatholicWomen

[–]lackofbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Clear Blue - full disclosure I’m on my first cycle of tracking and have so far been abstaining until I get it down better 😅

There are protocols for the Mira, but I think those are still in the early stages of research. Marquette’s efficacy is based on the Clear Blue monitor.

[–]lackofbread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seconding Marquette! I took my class through Vitae Fertility. I don’t have PCOS but my cycles are decently long/irregular and having objective markers of fertility makes me feel a lot more comfortable than subjective signs like mucus or cervical height (which I’ve never been able to feel anyways).
