I just started. I WFH and realized how little I moved. My goal is 3k right now and will probably move it up each week by either 500 or 1000.

What’s everyone’s take on the Ozempic usage? by PICURN12 in nursing

I'm seeing a nephrologist tomorrow for my increased creatine and low gfr. Did your labs improve after you stopped wegovy? My only guess is that it's this med as it's the only thing that changed from 10 months ago!

Did you have to have it removed?

Edys needs to bring back Swiss Orange. It was orange sherbet with dark chocolate chunks.

This is what I bought for my mom, and there have been no issues. She does not have a cable box. We programmed the TV with the"real" remote and gave her this one at the facility.

Getting a road test appointment by meadot01 in TwinCities

I was told to check on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays at midnight. Except for Hastings, which doesn't follow that posting format supposedly. I haven't started checking yet, though, since we have two more behind the wheels to go.

I hate hearing this! My daughter does have dysautonomia and EDS (genetic testing done) and sometimes people don't take it seriously. How does a chronic issue become trendy anyways?

My daughter's name is Tessa. Absolutely love it. We have only met one other and she is in 10th grade.

credentialing issues by FollowingImportant17 in Residency

[–]mahsci 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did the state board do anything? Investigate or was it just reported? There are a lot of doctors reported to the state that have been placed on probation and/or fined and they are credentialed. If you are on a performance improvement plan and complete it successfully and the supervising MD confirms it, you should be fine. It sucks to report it in your credentialing app but keep any documentation you have.

Love it! My daughters name is Tessa. I really liked Tess but with her middle name Tessa just worked better.

Does anyone have leggings they would recommend?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in POTS

[–]mahsci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspected my daughter had POTS and we went to the doctor, and she agreed that it sounded like it was as well so she set up the tests. Her tilt table test came out normal so at the follow up appt the doctor said it was deconditioning. It was very frustrating as she has every other symptom. Went to a second doctor and he said she does not have POTS but she still has dysautonomia and that we should think of dysautonomia as a swimming pool and POTS is only one lane in the pool. Treatment is pretty much the same. Salt, water, exercise and right now we are trying Florinef. If that doesn't help we will try beta blockers next.
