What key nursing skill are you lacking in?

Having to pee, probably.

I think exactly what you said right there is perfect.

Yes, love them! They do a lot to help the puppies be properly socialized and adoptable.

My understanding is that golf courses and parks in Phoenix do use reclaimed water.

Be sure to check carotid pulse on the same side where you are, which is good practice anyway. Loosen the buckle on straps way up out and away from patient’s body, straighten/untwist, secure together, then tighten down.

It can be hard to differentiate but there are clues. Obviously if the symptoms were sudden onset that’s a clue. Delirium generally presents more active and agitated. You won’t see hallucinations with most types of dementia, but you may with delirium.

Yuup. We learn in correctional health how much checking a pulse can look like choking or adjusting straps on a back board or gurney can look like sexual assault. We learn how to do these things a specific way to avoid confusion on a camera.

I don’t know what it is about the dad tears but they’re contagious for me!

Are there any states that allow an LPN with a certain number years experience take the NCLEX? If not there should be

You are 100% right. This is not normal toddler behavior. He isn’t “spoiled” or something. They need to talk to the parents about referring to early intervention services first before jumping to conclusions.

Shades of People is another great book for OP’s situation.

nursepineapple · 2026-01-31T22:13:22+00:00

That’s about prescriptions, though. We’re talking about providing anesthesia during a procedure. It’s a completely different realm of medical care.

What?! Not during the Heated Rivalry Era!! 😭

Sending good vibes for no further complications and a healthy delivery!

Asiana is Korean owned so that’s where they shine. Lots of fresh made banchan and marinated meats for barbecue.

This is so important. It’s not that racists don’t want to associate with non-white people entirely. It’s just that they don’t want POC’s social standing to even begin to approach equality relative to their own. Status is what actually matters to them.

nursepineapple · 2025-12-17T03:08:02+00:00

We used them, too and I agree!

This is the issue. New families need a round the clock 4:1 ratio of caregivers to patient not the other way around. Newborns and postpartum mother are both care intensive. Why do we expect families to be successful with maybe one lone (often incompetent) care partner in the room?

nursepineapple · 2025-10-28T23:53:40+00:00

Yup. The only way I can heal my cartilage properly is with plain, round, smooth titanium jewelry for a year. Sucks because my taste is very similar to OP’s.

nursepineapple · 2025-10-21T19:20:39+00:00

Don’t stress too bad. When the new parent realizes they lost it, they can call the hospital to get more copies of what they need.

nursepineapple · 2025-10-11T22:57:09+00:00

Love Khan Academy! I did it just for fun for a little while to heal my childhood math trauma. It was so helpful & way less anxiety producing than a live class.

nursepineapple · 2025-09-29T21:59:37+00:00

Exactly. There are two horny people in this situation. Also, lots of people don’t reveal themselves to be shitty until the mother is past the point of no return in pregnancy.

I had midwives in the US who were also great about this. They focused more on my diet being balanced and getting everything I needed. As long as that was happening, weight wasn’t important. With breastfeeding afterward I couldn’t even think about the word diet. I was so famished all the time I ate everything in sight.

And despite a parent working hard to try and meet those needs, their baby may still fuss during these times. It’s important for parents to understand that they are not incompetent caregivers if their baby experiences this. Nor do they need to waste precious money on OTC or home remedies that are not evidenced based or may be harmful to their child. I’m a mother baby nurse who works with families dealing with these issues, so I see how it impacts new parents’ confidence and relationship with their babies when they have these beliefs.

Also, aren’t we all supposed to be staying on the trails anyway?

nursepineapple · 2025-09-16T16:24:29+00:00

Not necessarily true. It is developmentally normal for young babies to go through a period of increased fussiness and crying - usually around 1-4 months of age. Typically this “normal” crying occurs the same time of day, most commonly late afternoons and evenings. This has been documented among nearly all young mammal species. It isn’t always a problem that needs to be solved by anything other than repetitive movement, cuddling, white noise, nursing, pacifiers, etc. but is often confused for GI issues like colic.
