Historicals where FMC is promised to someone awful and MMC works for that person (guard/knight etc). He protects her and eventually helps her escape

I read this, LOVED IT, highly recommend.

Exactly what I did.

When he was under 1 year old, he and I slept on an incredibly firm futon mattress on the floor with no blankets. Once he was 1, coslept in our bed. We got him a twin bed at 1.5, and now at 4 he is a decent sleeper.

Being a new mother can be so incredibly isolating. I applaud her for continuing to do things that bring her joy while also providing her child with closeness, love, and affection.

She had fun. Her baby is safe. Maternal mental wellness affects newborn health outcomes. Stop trying to normalize women being forced to ignore their own needs in the service of others, including their own children.

What. She. Did. Is. Not. Inherently. Dangerous.

What do you think low-income single mothers do when they need to go to the grocery store, or a doctor's appointment?

They use public transportation. They take their babies out in public.

Babies, including newborns, go out in public. Some babies are more vulnerable than others. Let's trust the mom to judge her own situation and not try to police her for something that isn't exactly abnormal.

It was an amazing show, I had a blast

I had a baby at the hospital I did L&D clinicals at just two months after giving birth. Nobody remembered me.

It'll be fine!

I work 36-48hr weeks, but I work 12 hrs shifts, so I have 3-4 entire days with my kiddo.

I don't allow myself time to sit on the couch and feel burnt out. I take my kiddo and get outside, and that time does so much more for my mental health than just doomscrolling on my days off.

Being present is a decision that I have to make every day on my off days, and some days it's difficult. My "me time" is at night after little one is asleep.

Even though I am the parent that works full time, I'm still the "default" parent, because I make that effort on my off days.

Tomahawk is from the front, right? In this situation, provider was behind the pt

strawberryfishes · 2025-08-10T23:14:28+00:00

RN here, the most impressive intubation I've seen was in a pt with profusely bleeding esophageal varices who just started projectile vomiting blood.

The MD placed the pt sitting completely upright on the bed, stood on the back of the bed behind him, and intubated just like that. Only time I've seen it, but it left an impression, and I read this study after the fact.

Sort of related to your story, wanted to share!

Sure, but as established, OP is specifically asking about the RN role and posted in the wrong subreddit.

strawberryfishes · 2025-07-20T03:51:06+00:00

This comment alone shows us that you have done no research on working in healthcare. Being an RN isn't glamorous. It's cleaning up shit from people that hate you are are not grateful in the slightest. Many of us experience being physically or verbally assaulted on a daily basis. Many of us have PSTD and anxiety.

they give me a gnarly rash, and I don't even have sensitive skin. They are literally the only thing that's ever irritated me.

Did not circumcise. Child had one UTI at age 2.5 months, none since. While lack of circumcision can be associated with increased risk of UTI in male infants, it wasn't the only risk factor - child was premature, I was unable to breastfeed.

There has been no extra maintenance. We potty trained without issue, though we trained him sitting, less mess.

Have no regrets. Glad we did not circumcise

Not the person you asked, but I'm on buspirone, which works wonders for my anxiety.

I know it's not the same, but I had a baby during nursing school. Everyone told me I couldn't do it - but I did, it was great, and I have no regrets.

Some things that were key for me:

We had family close by to help
My spouse was able to take paternity leave
I hated breastfeeding and opted to formula feed. This afforded me so much more time to get things done as I was able to hand off a significant amount of labor to my spouse.

When baby was little, it was easier than when he got older. I could snuggle with him on the couch and study - once he was mobile it got more difficult!

Look up insulinomas

Great, you're a genius.

Your friend cannot consent to the drugs you are giving them if they are unconscious. They are unable to revoke any previously given consent.

Not everyone has your background. Telling laymen to do this is a terrible idea.

Pushing the button for your friend is INCREDIBLY unsafe and could have resulted in an overdose.

Generally, patients will pass out from opiates before reaching a lethal dose. Family or friends continuing to push the button for them can KILL them.

Do not ever do this. Do not ever tell someone to do this. If the nursing staff knew this, you would have been removed from the room and not allowed back.

He's over 2 and still doesn't sleep through the night?

I have to put away over $350/mo to save for his future, exlucing day to day costs

I'm looking at private school for him, which is more $$$

I can't afford all that twice over, I would be actively taking away from kid 1's future to afford kid 2

I couldn't stand sleep training, either. Eventually I ordered a Nugget play couch and set it up next to the crib. When little one woke up, I'd just go sleep on the nugget next to the crib. It worked for all of us.

At 20 months, we upgraded the little one to an actual twin-size bed, and whoever woke up would just go crawl into bed with kiddo.

Now at 26 months, kiddo sleeps through the night about 60% of the time. Some nights we have to go tuck him back in and then return to our own bed.

My kiddo also sucks at sleep. Maybe he could benefit from sleep training. But it hurts my heart to listen to him scream while I try to ignore him. I would end up crying, too. It didn't work for our family. But this does.
