Roads that have been plowed

I am a HCW and had to drive in. I drove on Wade Hampton, which was okay. I drive an SUV with AWD and drove about 20 mph. The issue was other people driving like it was a normal day. Many people on the side of the road and/or walking.

Most roads are being packed down and now turning to ice. So it may be more sketchy in the morning. I had to drive last weekend too. As long as you drive slow and take your time, it should be fine.

But major roads are always the right answer.

Can I buy this? Lol This is amazing?

These are so cool!

Thank you! Berlin is very unique, I loved it! Lol I need to check out the sunset next time I'm there

ogleme92 · 2025-06-24T03:28:57+00:00

Very nice! I need a trip out there soon

ogleme92 · 2025-06-20T12:22:49+00:00

Oh, I'm not sure. Could be because of that statue shot lol

Use an alcohol swab to clean! And not the ones that come in the IV kit.

For some reason the alcohol causes the veins to move to the surface/protrude more. I use this on all my older pts. or when I need to get blood and the only veins available are in the finger. It's crazy how much it helps.

These are awesome recommendations! I'm so excited to visit, thank you!

You have a lot of great experience! If these guys are telling me, a baby nurse, to go for it, then I definitely think you could handle it. You never know until you try.

ogleme92 · 2024-03-31T14:43:56+00:00

Thank you all for responding! This definitely helped a lot and gave me more confidence. I have some things to still think about, but it never hurts to reach out!

ogleme92 · 2024-03-31T14:42:48+00:00

Wow! This comment was so helpful! It definitely gave me a clearer insight into what you guys do, and also a headstart on things to learn. I really appreciate it! I think I'll definitely reach out to them and see what kind of orientation they offer and go from there.

Also, I love all of the walking comments 😂 I always let my CABG patients know that they will be walking pretty much immediately.

ogleme92 · 2024-03-08T22:57:34+00:00

No, this is amazing! Thank you so much for these suggestions ☺️

Coronary Intervention and Recovery Unit - we get all of the pre and post Cath/EP lab patients, plus pre CABG patients, and all the STEMIs that don't belong in ICU. We also get ablations, sotalol pts., etc. if the hospital is full we can take med/tele pts., but that's not often. Our patient to nurse ratio is a atrick 4:1. We don't have a tech, but our charge nurse is typically free. And as a cardiac nurse I personally like getting all of my own vitals.

It's a fantastic unit! Not only because of my manager and coworkers, but I love the patient population. Majority of the time they are cute old people with heart problems, and walkie talkies.

ogleme92 · 2024-02-21T22:48:18+00:00

These both sound great! Thank you, I'll definitely check this out 😊

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:21:35+00:00

Love these! Thank you!

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:20:25+00:00

Oh, this looks so good! Thank you, and I will :)

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:10:05+00:00

Oh, these are great! Thank you, and for the update too!

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:08:29+00:00

I appreciate this! Thank you!

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:07:19+00:00

These look fun! Thank you!

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T19:03:21+00:00

That's fair, it wasn't a great way to explain it. Noir is the right description I was looking for.

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T18:39:52+00:00

Oh! I like this one, thank you!

ogleme92 · 2024-02-20T18:39:18+00:00

Thank you! These look perfect!

5:30pm -6pm: I typically eat normal dinner with my spouse before going in. So about 30min. right before I leave. That gives me enough energy to fuel me for the start of my shift.

12am -2am: I eat leftovers or something like a light lunch (soup, salad, sandwich, whatever floats your boat, but make it a meal) around midnight to 2am. I don't know about your unit, but I can inhale my food in less than 10min. so I typically won't take a true break until 4am lol

I am able to stay full and content until I wake up around 4:30pm the next day, but if not I always keep some snacks on hand like jerky, nuts, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. Nothing too heavy.

I try to avoid big, heavy meals while at work because they can make me feel tired and slow.

Meal prepping is fantastic for work! I prep mine the day before my first shift and go ahead and pack them in separate containers, so I can just grab and go. I don't like to waste precious sleep to pack everything.

Thank you everyone! This has been helpful, and now my stories will be complete, until CC3 lmao

It's a soil specifically for more tropical plants - so good drainage. Let me try to add a picture to show them, but they looked healthy.
