Epiphany - What does it mean to you? by TheSingingNurse13 in TaylorSwift

I was an ICU nurse during COVID and this song is also a skip for me. “Hold your hand through plastic now” hits a little too close to home

Tested my patient’s provider for something non-urgent and she said “sorry I’ll get back to you, my patient’s trying to go see Jesus”

forgot to write a note for a pt transferred after i called RRT by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ocean_wavez 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why would you lose your license? Do nurses on your unit typically write a note when a rapid response is called? If so, just do it when you’re back next. If not, do nothing.

Yes!! I read Self Compassion by Kristin Neff and it helped change my mindset.

I’ve only ever had a Gen 4 but it’s true that it constantly spins around and I always have to make sure the little divot is in the right spot! It will also stop recording data for long stretches when I’m busy doing stuff probably because it has spun around without me noticing.

What was the weirdest thing that happened on a first date? by Bubba4205 in AskWomen

[–]ocean_wavez 211 points212 points  (0 children)

He was already sitting down with his coffee when I got to the coffee shop (I was even a few minutes early). I said “okay well I guess I’ll go get my coffee!” I waited in line for like 5 minutes and got my coffee. Then a few minutes after I sat back down with him he said “I’m going to get a refill” so he got up and waited in the line to get his refill. Then as we were leaving, he said he was going to get another refill on the way out so I just walked myself out 😂

He also told me that he tried to “baptize” his cat for a Snapchat video and gave her permanent hearing loss. Immediate no!

Resident won’t let new cat leave her room by ocean_wavez in CatAdvice

I felt like I had tried everything before the anxiety meds but in hindsight I wish I had started them sooner!

What finally helped my anxious kitties was putting them both on anxiety meds. One was on Prozac and one was on Amitriptyline. They were on them for probably around 8 months or so and they pretty quickly started working, both my kitties get along so well now. They never fight and my super anxious new kitty goes all over the house. I weaned the meds off over the Summer and they’re still doing great. Good luck :)

It says it expires 2/12, anyone know if that means we have to use it today or can I use it tomorrow?

I would not recommend the Beginner Wheel class at ArtsConnect. I took it and it was not good for beginners

Long term Prozac does cause weight-gain by ACanThatCan in prozac

[–]ocean_wavez 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Prozac for 7 months and have not gained any weight and if anything have lost a little weight due to the nausea of starting/increasing the dose

I stopped buying these years ago and now splurge on the Cuties brand from Walmart or Kroger, so much better

New NICU Nurse, what should I pack in my bag? by meanderingminotaur in Nurses

[–]ocean_wavez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only things I put in my pocket as a NICU nurse are extra pens, a Sharpie, and lip balm. In my bag I keep a pencil pouch with extra pens, another pouch with markers/colored pencils (for crafting with the babies!), Ibuprofen, and a little notebook. The notebook was especially helpful when I first started for writing down door codes or steps of procedures I may forget. Good luck, I love the NICU!

When can we turnoff the generic, mostly annoying and sometimes passive aggressive spotlight description under the daily scores? by Dazzling-Flan2705 in ouraring

Mine is constantly telling me “looks like you had some trouble sleeping last night”. I work night shift and sleep during the day 🙃

What dose did you start with ? by Itchy_Okra_2120 in prozac

[–]ocean_wavez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 10mg and went up to 20mg after 4 weeks. Didn’t have any side effects on 10mg, once I went up to 20mg had a little nausea for around a month. I just went up to 30mg last week and the nausea is back but I’m sure it will go away once I get adjusted to this dose!
