I agree with the others. Her best bet would be to work on a Med-Surg floor. I know that my hospital would not hire someone with home health or urgent care experience for a specialized field such as Peds.
If possible she should stay where she can get a hospital job then transfer to the Peds dept. there. After a year of specialized experience she can move anywhere.

I work full time (Sun., Mon., Tues.,) nights as a RN in the Emergency Department. I'd love to be able to stay home but it isn't possible right now.

We joined the Y and then signed up for a triathlon class. My three oldest (8,10,12 at the time) really enjoyed the classes. It was a lot of fun to train together. We all loved when we competed in our first 5K, 10K then Tri. Now we do things like the Warrior Dash. We also do a 2 mile free family run every first Saturday. It's fun to look at the website and see our time improve.
We live in CO so all 7 of us mountain bike (a lot!) do the incline, ski and hike.
In the summer they have swim and dashes- open water swims followed by a 5K.

Manitou Springs fits your description perfectly and is much cheaper than Boulder!

$29.99. 15 years ago. First and only dress I tired on. Bought it on a clearance rack at Marshalls. I think my entire wedding was less than $400.

Will say a prayer. :(

My 10 year old's best friend has TS. She is absolutely delightful, has tons of friends, excels at school and is on the swim team. She does have heart issues and has a pacemaker. Most TS girls are very sweet as most don't go through puberty and have those teenage rages.
Her mother was heavily encouraged to abort and talks about the pressures she felt.

or a referral with a diabetes educator in your community. They are nurses specially trained to answer all of your above mentioned concerns.

The kids and I watched it together and literally laughed out loud. It was a joke!
The two boys at the end were absolutely adorable!!!

I would go. In my years as a nurse I've spent many nights with dying patients. The more love and support around them the better.
There are drugs she can take other than morphine. Perhaps she would prefer to feel the pain than feel "foggy." Those last few days are often a gift.
I promise her parents will appreciate you being there.

Ultram is another name for Tramadol. Tramadol should help her a lot more than the Motrin did but it is not a narcotic.
Ultracet is a combination of Ultram and tylenol. Regular Tramadol does not have tylenol in it.

Family Size: paternal-9 maternal-5 (same as me)
Size of your home? My home is larger than both
Number of moves in your lifetime compared to them? Less than my paternal as my grandfather was a captain in the NAVY. More than my maternal as they moved three times is 50 years. Dh and I have had 4 addresses.
Do you have as much of a social support network as they did? I imagine we were equal. Although my paternal grandmother was the epitome of an officer's wife who loved to entertain. :tongue_smilie:
How do you think your nutrition compares to theirs? What about your overall health? My nutrition is not nearly as good as my maternal grandparents. My grandfather was a food chemist. He didn't allow any preservatives or chemicals in their food. When we visited my Nana would go to the bakery once a week and buy donuts for us kids. I will always remember his disapproving smile as we gobbled them up.
Educational Levels? All of us have at least a bachelor's degree

We have a few of the quadrilla sets. They are used quite often. Even the big guys will pull then out and build.

One more thing if you haven't called yet. Tell the ER how much Tylenol she has had in the past 24 hours. Percocet has Tylenol in it. Too much Tylenol can be toxic.

What is compartment syndrome?? :confused: Off to google
She isn't in a cast so don't worry or google!
-
I don't know, narcotics just seem so strong and she is only 13. I will call the hosp and see if we can get a script though tonight or if we have to wait. She is in alot of pain :crying:
Make sure the wrist is elevated above her heart in the splint. Keep using the ice. I hope you are able to get her a script tonight. Poor thing.
-
Is she in a cast?
She said splint.
If she is in a cast and experiencing this much pain I would go to the ER NOW. Compartment syndrome is quite serious.
-
Broken bones hurt, a lot! I would absolutely get her some pain relief. I am a supporter of (a few) narcotics for legitimate pain.

We found this program this year and it is absolutely fabulous! My two older kids are enrolled. The teachers are amazing. I know the tone is rather negative towards cyber schools in general. I'm wondering what the Hive thinks about this type of program.

I agree with leaving it to the coaches. A good start is a skill developed from a combination of maturation and practice. Magic words wouldn't be helpful.

Those who are active members in the parish, attend every week and make a regular donation ($1 or more), are required to attend the meetings/training only for the first child.
Everyone else is required to attend for each kiddo. Our parish is really cracking down on allowing sacramental prep for families who don't attend weekly.

The tickets are free at the Holocaust museum and Capitol building. We reserved them online.
Most of the attractions are a bit of a walk from the Metro stations. We didn't investigate the Metro bus routes. We bought the unlimited Metro weekly pass which was a mistake because we were there over Memorial Day weekend and could have purchased a cheaper pass. grrr
Our legs were aching at the end of the days. We are very active- swim team, cycling, hiking Pikes Peak several times a year, we all do triathlons... So I was surprised at how exhausted we were at night.
One of my daughters wore Heely (?) shoes which helped when she got tired of walking. Although, the sidewalks were uneven and old. Also she had to put the wheels up at the museums and Arlington.
We took the Metro from the airport. My kids really enjoyed using it for transportation. Living in Colorado Springs we don't experience that kind of life very often. Our hotel was a few blocks from Union Station so we did eat there more than I would have liked but the choices were very limited.

In order of what my family enjoyed the best:
1. National Archives
2. Ford's Theater and Peterson House
3. The Monuments (you could walk most of them in 1/2 a day)
4. US Capitol (tickets required)
5. Smithsonians (American History & Air & Space specifically)
6. Arlington Cemetery (tickets required)
7. Holocaust Museum (tickets required)
8. National Portrait Gallery (get a tour and learn about it's Civil War history)
9. The Spy Museum-especially the gift shop (this one is $)
We stayed in the city near the Capitol using only the Metro for transportation. We did a lot of walking. Everything was further than it looked on the maps. If I did it again I would consider a bus tour or maybe renting a car. :auto:
Paging Dr. Hive - Dehydration in Early Pregnancy
in General Education Discussion Board
Posted
I'd go now and I'm an ER nurse.
I'm 5 weeks postpartum. During that pregnancy I had to have IV hydration every 2 days for 11 weeks. It was either that or a zofran pump! Being dehydrated isn't good for you or the baby.
I'm so sorry, I know how awful hyperemesis is in pregnancy!
