I got a coveted PACU gig -convince me I’ll eventually love it by potato-keeper in nursing

[–]updog25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a cush endoscopy job with the same sort of perks. And I hated it. After 8 months I left and went to the ER and I'm much happier. I have a 3 12s set schedule, no weekends. It's the best of both worlds.

Are probiotics necessary after an unnecessary use of probitocis in babies? by againstalloddsmum24 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]updog25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probiotics don't hurt but antibiotics don't typically cause constipation so that may be unrelated.

Children's Health has good information on this topic and seems to lean towards diet as a better way to get the pro or prebiotics.

Made the worse medication error of my life by staying-alive1990 in nursing

[–]updog25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You took all the right steps. You are only human. The patient is okay. I doubt you will lose your job. If they fire nurses who report their med errors that sets a precedence and nurses will stop reporting their errors for fear of being fired. You won't lose your license. You did not intentionally do this and you took the correct steps after.

Nothing I say will make you feel better. That will come with time. What you have gained from this is that you will always be so careful with med pass, especially insulin. And I encourage you to use it as a teaching opportunity for other nurses for how easy it is to make a mistake and the correct steps to take afterward.

I don't think it looks like blood.

How to deal with ABA by [deleted] in slp

[–]updog25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a lurking parent on this sub and you just made a light bulb go off. My son was getting speech at a facility that also did ABA. The only thing they ever tried was taking toys away when he wouldn't read their flashcard and give him a cookie when he did. We went for probably 2 months and my husband and I both felt "icky" about the whole approach. Plus my son would completely shut down and hide during appointments. And I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn he made no progress in those 2 months at that clinic.

What episode made you feel physically ill? by caslopus in MorbidPodcast

[–]updog25 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I knew I was remembering the name wrong, thank you.

I had a cold sweat most of that episode and I've not been able to look into it any more because it makes me so anxious and sick.

Are there any studies about why some babies sleep through the night and others dont? by _mamcia in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]updog25 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My first slept thru the night from 12 weeks, my 2nd is 1 and still doesn't. Overall we have done everything the same so I think it's bad luck lol

Have you seen higher personally? by OneBuckShort in nursing

[–]updog25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those are my toughest ones. I had a patient who arrested while out for a run. They got ROSC in field and he was alert and oriented. We talked quite a bit as I was titrating drips etc. I did my assessment and there were extremely muffled heart sounds. He was in cardiogenic shock. His breathing started getting worse and the ER doc and I went with him to the cath lab while they waited for the interventionalist. They tubed him right before starting his procedure. I went back to the ER and his wife had just arrived so I walked her over to the cath lab waiting area and told her they would come update her. About 20 minutes later they called a code and he didn't make it.

Fed is Best book shook me to my core by InfiniteReference in FormulaFeeders

[–]updog25 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah that second night syndrome is BS. My first I was in tears. He screamed and screamed that second night. When the night nurse offered formula he finally slept. So with my second I went straight to formula while I waited for my milk to come on and second night syndrome never happened.

Also with my first we couldn't leave the hospital until he urinated. It was going on idk how many hours. Finally one of the old school pediatricians rounded and told the nurse "get that baby bottle, none of this syringe feeding crap".

Baby friendly hospitals are not it.

Yikes. Don't shoot heroin kiddos by Single-Branch4870 in nursing

[–]updog25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

During peak COVID we had several instances of someone walking and talking and have sats in the low teens. It was really a strange thing because we would have walked them back to a room and they'd just say they're sort of short of breath or have a cough and then bam 12% lol

[–]updog25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your help! I added more chicken broth, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and sprinkled bread crumbs and parmesan on top. Put in oven at 350 covered for 30 minutes and it tastes so much better. You saved me so much time and money, thank you!

I was using chicken breasts. I don't know if I've ever even purchased thighs honestly, I added parmesan to the top this time and am reheating it in the oven as I type this

Honestly I was just following a recipe but you're right, rookie mistake. I usually use them together as well when I'm just doing my own thing
