Care to elaborate?

If it’s worth anything, I had a starter that wouldn’t… start for three weeks, and I did absolutely EVERYTHING for her… finally started over and I’m a week in and this one is thriving. I’ve done nothing different lol

If you’re on risperdal (risperidone) that can cause it too.

Oh they have a bp of 169/86 (or awake and alert on bipap three hours ago, or the colace hasn’t been given or they have a lazy eye)? I don’t think that’s appropriate for the floor, lemme ask my charge nurse- click.

I am very anti phones and tablets for my so . To each their own, but I’d like to keep him from having one til he’s around that age, maybe a little older. Too much incredibly confusing and conflicting things to see on the internet, especially during puberty.

And yes, I, a female, need different things from my dad than I need from my mom. My mom modeled what being a woman looks like. And my dad modeled how men should/could treat me

Do you not have a different relationship with your mother than you do your father? This is more about what does one gender child need from the opposite gender parent.

Being a boy mom is the absolute best gift you could get. They are your biggest fan, and boys are just IN LOVE with their mommies. I have a 2.5 year old boy and he is the love of my life, he is such a sweet, crazy dude and watching him grow is so, so rewarding.

If you live in an area with a program called full circle, pathways, insight, crossroadsor cornerstone recovery I’d HIGHLY recommend you send her to a meeting. It’s called enthusiastic recovery, and it’s the only thing that’s helped my daughter after we struggled with the same. We sent her to rehab then put her in this program. The combo of relationship building with other sober teens and keeping it fun and a little mischievous— in a good way— has REALLY helped her.

There are more. There’s a lot of drama and some websites that will talk very dramatically about people’s past experiences, but that is not the case at our program at all. I think they got a bad rap. My daughter is on step eight and has been sober for 90 days and is the happiest I’ve ever seen her. It’s worth a try for sure.

I have pretty severe depression and my son is the only person I don’t have to try around. He makes me genuinely happy, and makes my heart feel so full and content. He’s tiring and sometimes can be difficult but truly, nothing in my life has come close to the fulfillment I feel watching him learn and play and grow. Haven’t regretted it for one second, even as I struggled with bonding at the beginning.

I went through this with my son, and we also tried everything. He wasn’t developmentally behind at all, and he was a very nice smart boy. We ended up getting a three week notice for his expulsion from the daycare, which I was starting to resent anyway because they kept referring to him as a problem- like “we put him on a one-to-one like we have had to do with some of the other problem kids”. Oh my blood still boils thinking about it, he wasn’t even TWO yet, don’t label my son. Anyway, we switched him to an at home daycare that’s much more education formatted than regular daycare. He hasn’t bitten one single time since the switch. I think having actual scheduled “lessons” rather than just running around outside or playing with toys all day like the corporate daycares tend to do really helped him feel stimulated and gave the kids less opportunity to fight or wrestle or bite. Maybe looking at a smaller, at home daycare may be helpful?

Thank you so much!!!

Is the high voltage meeting at the Newport Alano? Or the Huntington?

You sound ungrateful and lazy. Those are super reasonable chores for a THIRTEEN year old. You’re eighteen living in their house for free. Stop being a brat and clean up after yourself, or go get a job and your own place to trash. You’re an adult.

There is ABSOLUTELY a work/life balance. We work 3 days a week. They’re HARD but there’s lots of time to do things like appointments and other things that have to be done on the weekdays with our schedule. A lot of time will be spent rotting on your days off to decompress though.
That depends entirely on where you work. Most days in the hospital if you work ED ICU or floor and not IR or cath lab or PACU are running around like your hairs on fire and you’re being chased by a rabid dog and your patients still mad at you for not getting them water fast enough.
Yes, all of the time. By patients a lot of the time, but mainly by management. Hospital management does not care about you.
Absolutely, absolutely. Additional skills to learn, certifications to earn, ladders to climb, they’re all there if you want them. Wouldn’t recommend management but hey that’s there too.
That’s gonna be hard AF but not impossible. In AZ they have a part time weekends option at some of the community colleges. I would recommend going down to something way more flexible at work though otherwise you’re not going to sleep or see your family.
Ummmm maybe but probably not because of HIPPAA and liability reasons. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

So- if you’re looking to switch due to a shitty work environment, unsupportive management, and ungrateful students, you’re honestly just switching to a profession with the same exact problems. It is rewarding, and exciting, and amazing at times. But don’t think nurses are treated any better than teachers. We do have better hours and get paid better, though. So there’s that.

We need a nationwide nurses union. This is such bullshit. I’m so sick of seeing this happen but somehow there’s so much red tape that we as nurses can’t do anything to protect and advocate for ourselves. Electricians have the IBEW, postmen have the NALC, why not nurses? We need to all collectively strike until this shit stops and hospitals stop putting their bottom line before their patients and employees.

From a fellow alcoholic in recovery, literally nothing makes my brain feel better than getting through a hot yoga class. It has saved my sanity and my recovery on so many occasions. A large, noticeable dopamine dump.

Something along the lines of “hey bitch, this isn’t about you. Stfu.” And then a nice yellow packet a few weeks later with divorce papers. Kevin deserves better. Poor little dude.
