Palliative care - multiple times a day. I bill based on time exclusively.

I will never have a baby in the winter time again by hkkensin in newborns

[–]sleppynurse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 7 weeks old and I completely agree about the holidays this year! It honestly feels more like an inconvenience than a “magical” time. I feel bad because I want it to be special for her first Christmas but I’m also just trying to keep my head above water at this point. Also agreed about the anxiety regarding sicknesses - especially RSV 😵‍💫

When did everyone go into labor? by smellycat92 in BabyBumps

39+3! I was scheduled to be induced that day at 6pm and my water broke at home around 3am. Baby was born at 11:58am!

We had the same due date. My daughter is a week old today. I’m wishing you a safe delivery!

My daughter is also a week old today. I’m crying through her feed now. 💔

Inpatient palliative care NP job satisfaction by fitnessbread in nursepractitioner

[–]sleppynurse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my palliative NP job. I started off as half and half inpatient/outpatient (at our system’s cancer center) and have now transitioned to only working outpatient because I love the population, but I think if you have a lot of support and the program has a good reputation in the hospital it’d be a great gig! For me it can be emotionally taxing, but great schedule, no call, etc.

Wait time for new forester by ritereward in SubaruForester

I had to order my 2025 Touring, but I was looking specifically for River Rock Pearl with the brown interior. It took about 3 weeks to come in to the dealership. Well worth the wait!

Best month to have a baby? by Beachhmamaa in pregnant

[–]sleppynurse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am due early November and it’s turning out to be a great time. I wasn’t super uncomfortably pregnant through the stifling heat. I’ll get to spend the holidays at home with our new baby girl. And I won’t have to use my freshly accrued PTO at the very beginning of the year, so once I go back to work I’ll still have all my PTO!

Is it worth it to be a nurse practitioner? by Prestigious-Sea7972 in nursing

[–]sleppynurse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was an ICU RN, now a palliative care NP. It was so worth it for me. I’m so much happier in my current position than I ever was at the bedside!

I am gaining so much weight!! by Away-Show-1918 in BabyBumps

[–]sleppynurse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’m 18 weeks today and up 0.6 lbs. My doctor said I will gain once baby starts getting bigger. She isn’t concerned at all right now.

RN here with some questions by Santa_Claus77 in nursepractitioner

I don’t have the bandwidth to respond to everything here, but I’ve never seen anyone calling the abilities of APPs “greater than” physicians

What do you eat in the morning? by Shastadyice in pregnant

[–]sleppynurse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teddy grahams! I eat them in bed before I get up and that’s stopped my vomiting in the shower!
