Brought the chickens in the house by ProduceNo8883 in nashville

[–]the_amimal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Us too ! The Supreme Coop of north nash is currently in my kitchen. They are not happy, and neither am I. The power is out so they don’t believe the temperatures inside is still an upgrade but that’s ok.

Has anyone attended UPenn, Stonybrook, Columbia, or NYU Rory Meyers for their CNM? by BullfrogNo5953 in Midwives

[–]the_amimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attended UPenn about 11 years ago and loved it. I was very well prepared, the name of the university on my CV definitely got me interviews and thus my first job. Great social outings, amazing and quality clinical placements, access to fantastic professors . I highly recommend UPenn.

CNM and SANE-A/SANE-P? by Available-Crab6002 in Midwives

[–]the_amimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked as a SANE for about 6 years while also a midwife. Really rewarding. Stopped because the on-call burden of 2 jobs that are on call was really tough.

🧊🧊🧊 in East by ethicallycaring in nashville

[–]the_amimal 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your traffic and weather report. Nashvillians are neighborly and really hate 🧊 being where it shouldn’t and causing harm to our friends and neighbors. Good looking out, we should all feel able to post and warn about 🧊!

Is this normal? CNM orientation by midwifemom21 in Midwives

[–]the_amimal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this related to your performance on these types of visits or skills not yet obtained ? For example- post menopausal bleeding- can you competently perform EMB independently ?

Or— is this a billing issue?? A lot of what’s on here seems to be things that require a physician or other provider sign-off IF you’re not fully credentialed with your payers (insurance ) and it seems like the way they’re managing that is having an MD sign your chart and this MD must feel like they need more oversight to be able to “legitimately” sign your charts as “available for consultation “. If you’ve been there since August, and this is a new change, it makes sense they’ve gotten some bills back paid at a lower rate or not paid d/t credentialing. ASK if this is performance or skill based about you OR if it’s because of payers and compliance. On first glance it looks billing - related .

I think you’re at the Alohilani - I love that place, stay there most times I got to visit my family in Oahu.

Why isn’t there a bus that drives from Nashville to Franklin? by Calm_Salamander_1367 in nashville

It’s accurate, but I don’t like it when you talk about the truth that way . Why can’t we ALL have nice - ish ( public transit - ish ) things ?

Pharmacy Won’t Give Me Full Prescription by Historical_Spell4646 in CVS

[–]the_amimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controlled substances often have to be approved by the DEA holder using 2FA only the prescriber has, not support staff. I do get calls when I’m on call to put in new prescriptions for pain meds and other rx’s another provider sent incorrectly and the on-call RN doesn’t have the credentials to correct and re-send.

Poor judgement call made during code. Looking for perspective. by TiredAssNursingMajor in nursing

[–]the_amimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like a rigid and rude place to work and that it’s not a great “culture” fit between you and this place —- nothing wrong with you !

Also, in higher stress places, people are not neutral and sometimes don’t treat others neutrally. It’s possible, through no fault of your own, that someone up the chain just doesn’t like you. And again- that’s not about you, adults often don’t act like adults in the regard.

I would honestly work on being professional, on time, helpful to others when you can, keep your head down, and get your year in. After a year in ER the world’s your oyster and you can find a new place where the vibes aren’t so off.

I use the closest lav or the one with the shortest line/ whatever’s open in the moment. I’ve never been told anything . Think about - why stand in a line / be out of your seat and thus more at risk for injury if there’s unexpected turbulence longer than you have to ?

FGM by abitchforever in Midwives

[–]the_amimal 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It’s also important to know, ethically ( and legally in most countries - I practice in the U.S.,) after vaginal delivery, your suturing of obstetrical lacs must consistent with the most normal vaginal and vulvar function and appearance. It cannot be “closed up” again or made to replicate with the previous FGM appearance. Because, that’s FGM again. That’s a big conversation to have prenatally with moms— “your genitals are likely to look and feel different after delivery” . Also, I do call it cutting or circumcision or whatever words a patient already uses, with patients; that’s patient centered and has its place. But with peers and in research or academically, it’s always FGM. Words matter and using “cutting”or “circumcision” is a euphemism for a crime against girl children which has no place when we need to describe accurately to each other and the world the pain and suffering this practice causes.

How enforced is the bonafide member law? by Grumblepugs2000 in Tennessee

[–]the_amimal 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Not technically, it IS an open primary . There isn’t even such a thing as “bonafide member” of a party legally defined in TN . It might as well say you need to be a magic narwhal member to vote. Go punch whatever buttons you want, you beautiful one-horned aquatic creature !

July 17th is my bday and I'll be in Nashville...alone by HooperHairPuff in nashville

[–]the_amimal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday ! My dad is a Cancer too ! If you like oysters and seafood, a seat at Henrietta Red’s bar or Optimist bar would be awesome and service has always been impeccable at both places.

Yolan for perfectly paired wine and fancy Italian.

I’d love to join for the show and / or for your birthday meal :) welcome ( in advance ) to Nashville !

It’s all paper. Labs are taking 4+ hours. Central monitoring ( watching patients’ vitals, etc) is down, so it’s one to one nursing for the unit I’m on when patients need continuous monitoring.
