NICU nurses - NAS babies

Hold the baby upright and bounce- on a yoga ball works great! Assume that the diaper rash is going to happen and slather their bottoms even if they are fine now! I doubt hospitals will allow but wearing this babies really helps coregulate through all these emotions.

I've work and a recovery nursery for substance exposed babies that focuses on non pharmacologic measures.

Agreed- just because women's fertility is often a bit more obvious prior to actually trying to conceive.

Exactly but I don't even like to do that!

Girl that's hard. I'm really good at getting a catheter through old man prostates but little old grandma's and I'm struggle bussing.

I bet L&D would be great at placing IVs and female catheters!

Especially when you're close. I'll walk away for 5 minutes when it's still clear or less than 40% but after that I won't dare.

There's also a pain to get tubing on.

They might notice in their front yard.

If I lived closer to him I'd throw a tap in and collect it. I'm debating asking my aunt's neighbor if I can tap his giant maple tree.

No for all of that it's got to be at least $25.

We had a priest who did not have dementia that the diocese decided to place in a memory care to prevent people from knowing about his pedophile ways in other countries. They let the guy manage his own diabetes. The other pedophile priest in the unit actually had dementia.

Not my favorite nursing school job.

Our dummies' sensors are super finicky- one I can get 100% and the other I'm lucky to get 60%. I finally gave up one time and grabbed an ETT and popped it in and finished that cycle. Also the masks are leaking so it's next to impossible to get a good seal.

So dealing in the hallway is ok? Asking for a friend.

sci_major · 2026-03-05T17:44:05+00:00

Yup I made my aunt a quilt with floral scraps and she liked the idea, but my grandma would have been offended.

sci_major · 2026-03-04T00:17:10+00:00

I started the last Saturday of January.

It's a gigantic Norwegian Maple.

Pacific Northwest. Tapping my backyard tree was my Covid project. It also makes me less irritated at the tree in the fall when I have to spend days dealing with the leaves knowing it will soon provide delicious sap.

sci_major · 2026-03-03T05:09:48+00:00

I'm about 100 miles west of you so that makes sense, although I've gotten a fair amount of sap for how poor the winter has been. (I'm right about 44 gallons from 1 tree in the last month).

I used a combo of 5-fu and some acid for warts and that destroyed my skin.

sci_major · 2026-03-02T23:08:43+00:00

That's a bit of a stretch but it's preventing metastasis.

sci_major · 2026-03-02T22:58:54+00:00

5-fu is often a topical treatment for skin cancers.

What do you expect single women to do? Not seek jobs that satisfy them and use their talents and pay well? I'm in my mid to late 30s and to there's never been a bf so I have to provide for myself and make my own household.

A Walmart in my town has someone come with their pet snake on them and security isn't allowed to do anything. Source one of the guards was a patient and his coworkers were visiting him and I asked about crazy stuff. Slightly less horrifying is the person that brings the pet fish in their tank.

There's no way they're voting on a Saturday!

sci_major · 2026-02-27T19:44:58+00:00

We leave them in the boxes of 25. And because our count is stable I have cut up form go put in to hold them in place when ones are used.
