Waching daily Jan 1 2019

Hey everybody it's Nurse Stefan here and I wanted to talk to you about this list I came

across, of the top ten reasons why you shouldn't be a nurse.

Now it does mention that it was written to be both funny and professional, but each and

every reason that they list is something that pertains to the nursing profession, and something

that we actually go through, so.

That doesn't mean it should discourage people from becoming a nurse.

Because nursing has changed my life in ways I never knew something was out there that

existed that could.

So, if for whatever reason, this list MIGHT deter someone from becoming a nurse, something

that could be their calling, something that's done so much for me, that it could do for them.

As a human, much like yourself, and as a nurse, I gotta talk about these reasons

not to be a nurse.

OK first things first, it says you shouldn't be a nurse if you're the type that sees blood

and you faint.

Probably the most common phrase I hear when I'm starting an IV or if drawing blood from

patients is, "Oh, I could never do what you do."

Which is a lot more than drawing blood and starting IV's.

And I say, "Why?"

And they say, "Oh, I can't stand the sight of blood."

"I can never do needles."

And I'm like...

"You think I'm a fan of needles or blood?

Like…

"I'm not down with them."

"I'm not super down with them."

I didn't go into this with an affinity for needles or blood.

And by the way…

If you are a fan of needles or blood, naturally…

I'm paging Sergeant Doakes, because we got a "Dexter" situation on our hands.

OK?

You're forewarned.

Now, needles hurt, right?

When they poke you, when they poke me.

They can transmit disease, same with blood.

They've got a lot of negative things associated with them.

No, I am not super down with needles or blood

and I don't think most other nurses are either.

But the actuality is: there are people that legit faint from the sight of blood.

And that's a real thing.

That's a real issue to be concerned about.

But I will say this: you can overcome it.

OK, because I know a lot of nurses that have.

And I usually kind of hear the same thing from all of them, ya know.

They view it as a, a fear, as a challenge that they have to overcome.

And they do that by changing their perspective on what needles and blood are.

The importance of them and the use of them.

Needles and blood are crucial, they're vital parts of medical treatment

and, uh, existing

to be quite frank.

So, if you really want to be a nurse

Know that there are grade A nurses out there that had the same issue you do.

So, I will not take that as a reason not to become a nurse.

Next up, you shouldn't be a nurse if you don't want to be up and moving and prefer sitting

down all day.

They go on to say this doesn't apply to all nurses…

SO DONT INCLUDE IT ON THE LIST.

So, as part of my pediatric clinical rotation, I shadowed a nurse that worked at a pediatric

outpatient facility.

She sat the entire day and triaged phone calls, which there were not many of.

But, bottom line is: don't worry.

There's plenty of nursing jobs where you can sit down.

You can do chart auditing.

You could do nursing informatics.

You could be a legal nurse consultant.

And there's major bucks in those fields.

But you might find the motivation to get up and move around all day, if it means you get

to take care of people.

Which is what nursing is about.

There are literally so many types of nurses out there.

OK, some stand.

Some sit.

Some ride.

Some fly.

But for the purpose of this list, some sit.

So scratch that off the list.

Next on the list is:

You shouldn't be a nurse if you can't handle smells,

or are very sensitive to them.

First off, again, like with the needles and the blood…

No one is "down" with awful smells.

Yes, we deal with feces.

Yes, we deal with urine.

Yes, we deal with fungus in folds of people that haven't showered in weeks.

Abscesses!

can be one of the most foul-smelling things.

Now there's a huge population of you out there

that like watching pimples pop.

I'll admit, it can be satisfying.

There's even a show

Dr. Pimple Popper, or something like that, right?

See, the difference is

you've got a screen,

lots of distance,

and a film crew between you and that abscess.

Us?

Not so much.

We sit there with our poor attempts, with coffee grounds, and air fresheners.

But there are some smells you cannot escape!

But while we deal with suctioning out, cups of pus from these deep abscesses.

And smelling the scents that we smell.

We also know that we're relieving this person

of something that could potentially kill them

or at least improve their quality of life.

I mean, if an infection goes on for too long

people get septic and die- it happens all the time, right?

So if you think you want to be a nurse, and help heal people

help save their life, or at least give them a better quality of life?

Are you going to let that smell stop you?

I'm going to be honest, you never get used to the smell.

K, it's never like, "Oh, I don't smell anything."

No. It stinks.

It always stinks.

Somethings always gonna smell.

And there's always gonna be new odors…

where you're like

"I have never smelled that before…"

"…I don't know what's growing in there..."

"…something's up."

So, you don't get over the smell.

You get over the fact that you have to smell it, in order to help that person.

Those are the little sacrifices we make

to make a big difference.

And that's nursing.

Not a reason not to be a nurse.

Next up, is you shouldn't be a nurse if you're not keen on change.

OK, if you don't like it.

Change.

Listen, if you don't like change

you need to find

another world, ok, another life

another existence.

Change is inevitable.

It always happens.

You could be working for 20 years pushing paper,

then all the sudden a new manager comes in and says

"Hey, guess what, you're shredding paper now."

That's change.

K?

You've gotta be able to adapt to situations, it's part of life.

The beauty of it is that we're changing because we're learning new things.

Some of the things we've been doing for so long

we've been doing wrong

and they can be done better

or differently.

And it all comes back to the same thing:

Improving the care, to help heal our patients.

Change is inevitable, so it's no reason not to become a nurse.

Next up, you shouldn't be a nurse if you're in it for the fame.

It goes on to say that nurses don't get credit for what they do

and it's a very thankless job.

"Fame" has to do with reputation.

So, let's just focus on: "A thankless job."

Ok first let's talk tangible items.

Myself, and probably every other nurse out there, at some point in their career

has been offered some sort of gift

or some sort of "Thank You" card

or has had money shoved down their scrubs.

That might just be me.

Or, something like that

once, or several times

and when it comes to the words: thank you.

I hear it from almost every patient.

And then the doctors, and the CNAs, the HUCs

all the colleagues!

OK?

I don't know what this one's talking about

and when I don't hear a, "Thank you," from a patient

I usually feel it.

Or, they were never lucid enough because they were barely alive while I helped save their life.

OK, and I usually don't get a chance to see those patients wake up.

Or, the gift basket they send a few weeks later

or the cookies, or the "Thank You" card- whatever it is.

But the one's that I'm one on one with

and I don't get a, "Thank You," from

or feel a thank you from.

I usually said something wrong

and I go and I hide in the break room for a little bit.

But seriously though.

You could be a waitress, a flight attendant

a massage therapist, dental hygienist.

Not a Comcast service rep.

There's no "Thank You"s in that.

None.

Whatsoever.

But shoot you could be a carny, ok

and everybody that walks off that Gravitron

is gonna thank you.

No disrespect.

I love the Gravitron and its operators.

If it weren't for them

I don't know if I would have ever walked legit sideways in my lifetime.

K?

So, thank you.

But really

If you're looking for self-fulfillment and happiness from external sources

like other people's behaviors and actions, or the things that they say.

You've got some self-work to do.

But even so, the truth is:

We get thanked by our patients all the time.

And that's not to say we don't get swung at or spit on every now and again.

But for the most part, what I've found, is that they express gratification.

And the, "Thanks" we get

ain't just any old "Thanks."

It's a big "Thanks."

"Thank you for helping me heal."

"For myself."

"For my friends."

"For my family."

"For my entire world."

and that's huge.

That's it for today

Check back tomorrow for the other five reasons why you shouldn't listen

to the other five reasons why you shouldn't be a nurse.

I'm clocking out.

Dedicate - Day 0 - Welcome To Dedicate | Yoga With Adriene - Duration: 4:08.

- Hi everyone.

Welcome to Dedicate, your 30 day yoga journey.

It's Day 0, okay?

So you may or may not know but

on this day we actually don't do any yoga. It's Day 0.

Just a quick little orientation day to say hey and

you're awesome and way to dedicate the next 30 days

to taking time on your yoga mat.

So amazing. You're in for a real treat.

So today, wherever this video finds you I'd just like to

invite you to take a deep breath in.

And as you exhale just know

(sighs) you've made an amazing choice.

Thank you so much for saying yes to going on this journey with me

and people all across the globe.

It's gonna be awesome.

Today just a few little tips,

pointers that might help you set

yourself up for greatness.

First, keep an open mind.

An open mind and an open heart.

This little journey tells a story.

It's not your normal yoga practice.

We will make sure you're safe.

We'll focus on action and alignment but ultimately this is

about breathing and listening and spending time with yourself.

Are you gonna get strong?

Are you going to gain muscle definition?

Absolutely, we are gonna work hard

but in a really mindful way.

So keep an open mind.

Come with an open heart and be willing to learn something new.

Okay, the next thing is you might want to bring a couple of

blankets or folded up towels or a pillow to class.

This is just really helpful because we spend

so much time on the ground.

If the low back, the hips or the legs are super tight,

it's really nice to be able to sit up on something to lift the

hips so that your knees can drop and you can create a little

bit of space in the front of the hips,

the hip flexors, to sit up nice and tall.

So if you have a little towel or blanky,

you don't need to have any fancy yoga blanket or yoga block

but if you have it you're welcome to bring it but just

something that you can sit up on from time to time.

Okay, the final little loving tip is about communication.

Take a second today, set an intention,

write in your journal just say,

"I choose to take 30 days and

"dedicate this time and focused energy

"inward toward myself.

"To get stronger in my body.

"To get clear in my mind and to do this so that I can have

"energy and everything I need to serve others and show up for

"others in the world in a way that feels really good."

So take a little time, write it down,

you can even write it in your phone.

Why are you going on this journey and then the part two of

this tip of communication is be sure to communicate with people

that you're living with, a roommate,

a partner, your family, let them know you've dedicated the next

30 days to spending time on the mat.

And they might want to join you, they might not.

It's okay either way.

But do take a second and I think it's really cool and awesome to

just say, "Hey, this is what I'm doing and

"I'd love for you to support me on this journey."

Alright my darling friends, that's it for now.

I'll see you tomorrow for Day 1.

In the meantime, I love you so much.

You're my hero for saying yes to this journey.

Invite your friends.

It's not too late to invite.

You can invite a friend today and they can go on the journey

live, in real time with people all across the globe.

It really is a remarkable one-of-a-kind experience that

I'm honored to be a part of so share it with as many people as

you can and I'll see you tomorrow for Day 1.

Namaste.

(bright music)

Suicide Prevention Awareness - Duration: 4:31.

I was gonna devote this video to the general public...

ya know, concerned families and friends, if they ever suspect someone in their life is

suicidal…

but let's face it we're no good at it.

We need to get better at it.

We've been told what to do:

We should be direct, and say something.

Ask if they're feeling suicidal.

You're not gonna put any ideas in their head that they didn't already have.

Listen to what they say and take interest.

Ask if they have a plan.

If they have access to weapons or means to end their life

and get any professional help that you can.

All good ideas, all great questions, but do we really ask them?

We should.

But hardly.

It's not because you don't care, I'm guilty of it too.

It's because you don't want it to happen so bad you make yourself think it's not gonna.

That it'll pass…

and sometimes it does...

lots of times it doesn't.

There's a lot of amazing resources out there on the internet that can help you help someone else.

But right now I'm gonna talk to you out there that's having those thoughts.

I want you to know you're not alone.

And you want to know how I know you're not alone?

Cause I take a nice little stroll to the hospital…

be it Seattle or anywhere else that I'm at.

I see people riding their bikes, going on walks, enjoying the sunshine or dodging the

rain around here.

And I can walk through the doors of any given emergency department and get assigned four,

five, maybe six suicidal patients.

But four humans.

That are thinking about ending their life.

The one life we're sure exists right?

Cause we're living in it.

Those are just my patients.

One nurse...

in one emergency department...

of over 5,000 ER's…

in just one country.

And those are the ones that made into our doors...

that sought help…

they're there right now.

This reality is no joke.

Ya know I go to the gym, I hit the supermarket, I see the smiling faces all the time.

We can be happy.

Life can be beautiful.

But I also help pump the little girl's stomach of hundreds of pills,

cause she's sick of getting picked on at school.

I see the rope burn and bruising…

around a father's neck because he lost his entire family's savings.

The wrists.

The guns.

The glass.

The notes.

The bridges.

The jumps.

This life ain't always easy…

and anyone that is brave enough to get out of bed and face the world that we were born into.

the pressures society puts on us...

the stigmas... the expectations...

anyone that can get out of bed and face this world should be damn proud every time they

do it.

See everyone's brains quite different, we know that, they're all somewhat wired differently.

Some people even like the black jelly beans... you know who I'm talking about…

they ain't alone… bunch of people like those nasty things..

The point is they ain't alone.

And whatever it is you're going through…

you're not alone...

you're not crazy.

There are thousands of people out there standing by right now and always, always, always they

are there

twenty-four-seven, year-round...

And I'm dedicating my time right now,

to let you know that they're dedicating theirs.

Because we don't want to see you go.

and if you don't believe me, I'll tell you what…

I have never met a patient, a person, that I wanted to see go.

So, you knowing that... let me introduce myself

I'm Stefan Torres...

and for what it's worth, now you've got me.

Those numbers ain't just numbers down there on the screen, that's someone waiting for you

and now you got them.

And we got thousands of people that have ways to help whatever situation you're in...

and now you got all of us.

So you're not alone…

Whatever you're going through, whenever you're going through it, it may not be now,

it may hit you when you least expect it…

It's a dark place, I've seen it.

Even if you've sought help before..

Know, that emotions and feelings they will... change…

So, it may look like a thousand-pound phone right now…

but please...

I promise...

you can pick it up.

Why you SHOULDN'T become a NURSE?! [DEBUNKED] Part 2! 👋 Nursing Vlog - Duration: 11:26.

Welcome back everybody! This is part two

of me debunking these reasons I've found online

that suggest

if they're applicable to you

you shouldn't become a nurse.

Because becoming a nurse has changed my life in so many ways

I want to cover some of the reasons, why these reasons…

just ain't good reasons.

So this is part deux, so we're starting off with number six, and that is:

You shouldn't be a nurse if you have to pee a lot.

Ok, there's something like 3 million registered nurses in the United States alone

you think we all have the same bladder power?

Honestly?

No!

I have worked those shifts where I hadn't peed in eight to twelve hours.

Your body just adapts to learn to pee, "BID" at some point.

But in the meantime, if you can't look to your colleague and say

"Hey can you literally watch my pager for 1 minute while I go into the bathroom and pee?"

"1 minute."

If they say "No."

You need to find a new floor or facility.

OK, let's say worst case scenario:

You drank a gallon of water, you've been holding it in all day

you're just about to go

and your patient stops breathing.

::gasps::

Guess what…

you don't have to pee anymore.

I promise you.

I don't know where it goes…

but it goes somewhere.

It's gone.

You don't have to pee.

Done.

It'll come out someday.

It's just not right now.

I think your bladders like…

and it takes a look at what's going on and is like…

"Ohhh… I'm gonna give him a minute."

Tell me this, how many people do you think become nurses

and quit because they have to pee a lot?

Seriously.

Just a rough estimate.

Ballpark it.

Has this conversation ever gone down?

"Hey where's Brenda, isn't this her shift?"

"Oh you didn't hear?"

"She peed too much…

she's back in school

she had to quit."

No.

And say you got a medical condition that makes ya hit the pot a lot

You get a doctor's note explaining the situation, and when you gotta go ya gotta go.

But that's not even anything to worry about, you'll be able to pee.

The bottom line is you have to take care of yourself before you take care of other patients

and that includes emptying your bladder.

We all pee, whether it's passing the pager, or our bladders adapting... we make it happen.

Not a reason not to become a nurse.

Next up, you shouldn't be a nurse if you don't like to keep learning...

I can kind of understand this one…

I see healthcare workers mindlessly scrolling through these modules all the time

updating information in their brain.

The retention rate definitely correlates with the enthusiasm on their faces.

Nursing school is tough... medical school is tough… and when you're done, ya wanna be done

and that's why there are nurses and doctors that don't want to change their practice

according to the new evidence-based data, like they should.

because they've been "doing it successfully this way forever,"

and they're busy people!

They've got lives outside of healthcare!

I wonder what that's like.

Another module on hazardous waste?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

You get through school your like, "Yay, I'm done," no you're not.

There's continuing education all the time...

but the recognition I'm getting right now on social media and at events is trying to

deliver education is a fun and engaging way

and… influence other nurses to do the same.

Everyone has fun in different ways and once you learn the material and get some experience

under your belt

or if you're a nurse that's just feeling burnt out

Take whatever your passionate about…

incorporate it into helping other people, I promise you, you'll find a way.

If you're into gardening, I hear that's one of the most therapeutic things you can do

for yourself, for your soul

Have a gardening meetup

teach people about vitamins in fruits and vegetables, pesticides, organophosphates.

I don't care. Just make it interesting and fun, right?

Crocheting, big surprise: not my thing.

But it's a lot of people's thing.

Hold a crocheting class

and while people are crocheting, talk about the things that they eat, how they shop at

the grocery store.

Some of the experiences you've had with patients that have had poor nutrition.

Diabetes, hypertension, so many opportunities.

Help people make healthy choices so they stay out of the hospital.

and reach out to other nurses that are burnt out

Invite them over for a movie night, ok…

all nurses…

but each one has to bring one medication that they have to teach the rest of them about.

Sounds like fun?

Hint hint…

Anybody who's interested…

Put a new pep in their step...

and that's precisely what you and I are gonna do from here on out.

Cause we're figuring out ways that everyone's gonna love to learn.

So, you and me both…

scratch that off the list!

Next up: you shouldn't be a nurse if you're in it for the money.

This pretty much applies to any job, right?

Don't do something for the money, do something that you love.

Truth is:

I loved playing video games

and uhhh

partying…

when I was applying for nursing school.

and unfortunately

multi-playing Half-life at 4AM

and, uh

being a beer-pong champion

doesn't pay the bills.

Nursing can pay very well and it varies where you're at.

But the beauty of it is

you can go anywhere.

That's the flexibility.

The hours

the days

the rotations.

It's… all the other wonderful perks.

I know plenty of nurses that will tell you straight up that they got into nursing because it paid well.

Because they've got cell phone bills, they've got rent to pay, and they've got kids to feed.

This is reality.

But right after that, they'll tell you how they had no idea how nursing was gonna change

their life forever

for the better

I'm one of them, and we'll talk more about that.

Doing something because you're only in it for the money, could be implied, but again

that's a blanket statement that shouldn't be applied specifically to nursing

Unless it's playing the lottery, don't do anything for the money.

Ok? You probably shouldn't even do that…

though I haven't bought a scratch ticket in a while…

Next up, is: you shouldn't be a nurse if you don't have people skills.

Now this one kind of got to me. There's no humor involved.

It blatantly states that social competency is a necessity to become a nurse.

Here's a little bit about me that I want you to know.

It's important to me that I'm honest with you and that includes sharing some things

that

might make other people feel kind of uncomfortable sharing.

but I need you to trust me. So here goes…

When I started nursing school, I was a shy, isolated, very insecure person with terrible

people skills.

I wouldn't look people in the eye

not the cashier at the supermarket

not the receptionist at the gym

not even the people that I worked with.

People were always asking me why I was mad…

I wasn't mad…

I just wasn't uncomfortable in my own skin.

Because it's such a horrible feeling to feel like you're not doing the things you want to be doing

without loving people the way you want to be loving people

without being who you know you are.

It's low self-worth, right?

You don't say anything because you're scared, no one cares what you think or

someone might like you a lot less after you say something.

You don't make eye contact

you don't initiate conversations

you don't accept invites to social outings

…that was me.

And all that stuff. eye contact, conversations, socializing, human interaction

none of that improves on its own.

Well guess what, clinical number one, patient number one.

I paced outside of his room for one hour.

Going up to the nursing station pretending I'm writing something down in my care plan.

I mean who did I think I was? Going into this old man's room and telling him I was gonna

do stuff for him that he couldn't do himself.

My heart was racing, I was sweating… I was terrified.

I finally went in…

I spent four full days with him.

OK. I learned about him, his disease, his limitations

what he can and can't do.

and about myself

and how I could help him

with it all.

Because not only did he talk to me about him

Two to three words at a time because he had really bad COPD

I mean you wanna talk about exercising patience...

and not cardiac rehab style.

I'm talking the waiting for 10 minutes

attentively…

for 2 sentences.

I also talked to him about me.. a lot faster.. but he cared. I also learned he needed me

or someone else there

to help him with the things he couldn't do himself.

He helped me find the self-worth that was in me all along...

but sometimes it takes an eye opener

or an experience

to believe in yourself.

Working in the E.R.

Patient after patient.

I mean your popping into other people's patient's rooms, starting IV's, right?

Running codes in other rooms.

You'll develop people skills real quick if you want to be an effective healer.

Or you won't

and you'll be miserable, and hate your job.

Plenty of people do.

It's not unique to nursing.

Nursing ain't for everyone, I'm not saying that is.

What I'm saying is if you're thinking about nursing, but your apprehensive because

you don't have the people skills right now,

nursing is an excellent way to develop them.

I mean you'll run into people with personalities and attitudes

and families and lives, in situations you didn't even know could exist.

From the one legged IV drug user

to the snobby doctor who's got his whole family in the room…

and they're all doctors...

and they want to know why X, Y, and Z isn't done.

You learn people skills

for all situations.

OK, the last one.

You shouldn't be a nurse if you don't know how to care about the care that you're giving.

and it goes on to say something about how it can't ever be learned or taught.

And that's…

just...

wrong.

Nursing school is a process

and a tough one

but you learn about therapeutic communication

and how to care for someone.

A lot of us

probably most of us

have never cared for a person

the way a nurse cares for a person.

So, how do you know if you care about caring for someone,

if you haven't had the opportunity to practice caring?

So, by practicing in nursing school, residencies, and thereafter...

you're always learning about how to care about caring for someone.

K real talk right now.

When I first started nursing

I did not like cleaning up incontinent patients that had bowel movements.

Don't try to tell me that you did

cause you didn't.

I avoided it the plague, ok?

I did not want to do it.

And then I was cleaning up this elderly gentleman.

He was telling me about some of the things he did in life.

He was like a fighter pilot captain that led like fleets of jets in the air force right?

Something amazing like that.

and it made me think about in his 80+ years of life…

how many accomplishments

how many relationships

how many traumas

how many beauties he's gone through...

and now he needs me, because he can't wipe himself.

Everyone poops. Right?

We try to keep it on the downlow, but everyone knows that everyone does it.

Kylie Jenner, Brad Pitt, doesn't matter who you are.

Sometimes when I get frustrated

that I'm not with Gigi Hadid…

I think about the fact that she poops

and then it makes me f---

no, I still love her.

Point is everyone does it, and when you grow up, you handle it all yourself

It's your own business, you keep it on the downlow

Problem is

he can't…

and now he needs me for this.

So not only is it your job to help them feel clean again

it's to preserve their dignity.

And you learn that as you go.

I'll tell you I made sure he was extra clean...

cause he deserved it...

everyone deserves it...

and that became a part of my practice.

Just like it should yours.

Trust me, I don't wait around for "Code Browns" to happen

but when they do

I don't miss a spot.

And that…

is caring about caring…

and I learned that through that experience.

So, to summarize, nursing isn't for everyone.

If you think it might be for you

shadow a nurse.

Shadow multiple nurses, in different specialties

because they're each incredibly unique of each other.

It's what I did, and it's what solidified my decision to become a nurse.

If you want to care about people

help people heal

help people save lives

don't let reasons like these make you think twice about it.

Cause I could have checked off a lot of these reasons right off the bat and said

"Nope... nursing is not for me"

and not to toot own horn

but I get kudos from other nurses

doctors, patients, the general population.

and that's just concrete examples.

That's not what's important to me.

What's important to me is that nursing has helped me and continues to help me in unbelievable

ways throughout this life.

And I think a lot about people who struggle with finding a purpose in life…

true satisfaction…

fulfillment.

Think about people volunteering, ya know

they're giving back to the world.

Helping someone else out, our fellow people

helping someone heal…

there's nothing that can beat that.

And you get paid to do it

to take care of yourself and your own loved ones.

So, my only hope is these two videos find their way to someone who's considering nursing

or doesn't know what they want to do…

before they find the bogus reasons, they shouldn't be a nurse

and though I'm not getting paid to do this...

I'm still clocking out.

AAP New Recommendations for Car Seat Safety! 👋 Nursing Vlog - Duration: 3:29.

So, I woke up this morning to a phone full of messages

about of the new recommendations for car seats from the American Academy of Pediatrics

Now, normally I would stay curled up in bed

because I was on call last night but I have a three-and-a-half-year-old nephew that I

love dearly

So, I had to address this change.

So, for as long as I've known anything about car seats

the recommendation was once the baby leaves the hospital

they stay rear facing in the car seat until they hit their "Terrific Twos."

However

The American Academy of Pediatrics has new recommendations.

And though it's not as easy as

"Happy second birthday, now you can glare at me through my rear view mirror."

It is kinda sorta simple.

The basics of it is this:

The car seats that you have, have height and weight limits.

It is of utmost importance that you know what these are

because these are your new milestones for transitioning from one position to the next.

So, this is one of those times where you want to be sure to RTFM.

Read the *bleep* manual.

So, starting with the rear facing okay

the one you're bringing baby home from my hospital in.

You typically, got two options.

You got the infant bucket seat or the convertible seat.

The infant bucket seat is convenient because you can take baby out of the car

and carry them around with you, while they're still in the seat.

However, they will most likely outgrow that before they are eligible to face forward

and gain that expert marksman-like aim when they're throwing *bleep* at you.

So, you're gonna have to buy another car seat, while they're still rear facing.

The convertible seats that you bring baby home and stay in the car

and the beauty of these are

they transition to the front facing car seat

without having to buy a whole 'nother car seat

once they hit that milestone

which is no longer two years old

but when they exceed the height weight limit of that car seat.

Are you still with me?

Either option you choose, is up to you okay?

Moving on.

Then your little bam-bam keeps growing.

Okay, they don't stop.

I shouldn't say bam-bam I should really say bamboo, because they grow so fast.

Feels like just the other day, I was tripping over my nephew

and now he's like three and a half, and he's dunking on me.

So now they've exceeded the height and weight limits of the forward facing and seat

it's recommended that they now transition to a belt positioning booster seat.

Which should have a high back for the safest protection.

Until they're too tall for that.

Once they're too tall for that.

If they're anywhere between 8 and 12 and over four foot nine inches tall

then they can sit properly in the backseat on their own.

So, what is proper?

Okay proper is when the seat part of the belt is lying across the upper thighs,

and the shoulder strap that comes down in across the chest

and not the neck or the belly.

With their knees bent at the front of the seat.

No facing forward like that they're still too small.

If they don't meet those requirements.

It's recommended that they stay in a booster seat until they can,

doesn't matter how old they are.

People, please.

Understand that for kids 1 through 13 the leading cause of death

is car crashes.

I mean think about the fragility of their neck and their spine

and the their big ol' heads moving around.

I can't stress it enough that you choose the right car seat and install it correctly.

Because I know you all care about your little ones,

just as much as I do my nephew.

Oh, snap!

Gotta get to work!

Excuse me for the brevity of this vlog,

there is so much more to know and I'm sure a lot of you know it.

So drop whatever knowledge you know in the comments below.

I promise you.

It will help someone else.

Don't forget to like my page.

Don't forget to share this with your friends, family, and loved ones.

But right now,

I'm clocking out,

so I can go clock in.

The 5 Day Body Detox Plan - Duration: 3:33.

The 5-day body detox plan

In the present condition, you can no longer survive a single day without encountering

pollution.

At work, you may not at all be so sure of the cleanliness of the water you drink or

of the food you eat.

When dealing with people, you can hardly get away from air pollution, be it from smokers,

all sorts of sprays or from the exhaust of vehicles.

This greatly affects the health in one way or another.

Don't be so sure that when your body does not visibly react, it's alright.

For these reasons, detoxification is necessary in order to keep a healthy body which also

results in a healthy mind and a healthy relationship with people.

Our body has its own means of healing and detoxifying.

However, when pollutants that enter our body had been accumulated more than the capacity

of self cleansing, we are giving our inside mechanisms a hard time.

Then the tissues are stressed and therefore lead to malfunction.

And because they are weakened, the cleansing process is also affected.

We definitely want a clean body.

But we also need to help our system in regulating the body processes.

However, you should not wait for your body organs to be stressed out and overworked before

doing something.

In times when the body lacks the command to keep the systems working, the person must

supplement.

The 5-day detox plan will do a great help in keeping the body systems at work.

The 5-day detox plan will rejuvenate the body as well as the spirit, keeping it clean and

toned.

Detoxification diet is a part of the 5-day detox plan.

During the period of detoxification, certain foods are avoided.

Your meals consist mostly of fresh fruits and green, leafy vegetables.

Fats, oil, preservatives and food additives are a big no when undergoing the process of

detoxification.

Also, meat should be kept off because they are hard to digest.

For a day or two, eating meat in any form is dropped off from the diet.

Ideal foods that can be part of your diet are as follow garlic, broccoli, beets, and

beans or nuts.

Only fresh fruit extracts can be taken as beverages except for grapefruit.

And since water is a universal solvent, six to eight glasses of this should be recommended

daily.

Water is also a major factor in the detoxification process.

It flushes out the toxins in the forms of perspiration, urine, or stool.

Although you seem to eat less when detoxifying, you are assured that you will not starve,

and ironically, you will even boost your stamina.

It is because your intake is limited only to foods which are healthy and are good to

the digestive system.

Detoxification plan should be done at least quarterly.

beets To ensure that you get an efficient one, it

will be best to consult a nutritionist or a professional.

You should also seek a doctor's advice to ensure that what you will do is detoxification

and not an addition of toxins to your body.

Through the process of detoxification, the toxins are flushed out in your body and a

new set of energy is supplied to the body providing you both physical and mental alertness.

Cleanliness should be maintained not only in the outside but more so in the inside.

Can't hear phone call in iPhone unless it is in Speaker mode - Duration: 1:37.

In case if someone gives you a call on your iPhone but you can not hear them unless you

put your iPhone in speaker mode then let us see some ways to fix this issue.

The first thing is to make sure that your iPhone is not stuck in headphone mode.

To make sure what you do is just press the volume up or volume down button.

Right now you can see the ringer icon here.

So, when you press the volume up or volume down button you should see the volume icon

not the headphone icon.

If your iPhone shows headphone icon then your iPhone is stuck in headset mode or headphone

mode.

So, what you do is just restart your iPhone and check if it will work.

The other thing what you need to do is at the bottom of the iPhone you have the connector

or you have the hole to put the headphone jack.

So, use a small needle and then try to clean the headphone jack and also what you do is

you put the iPhone jack 4-5 times in and out continuously and check if the iPhone goes

back to the volume mode instead of the headphone mode.

The other thing what you can do is just press on this area gently between the speaker and

the camera and check if this will work.

Some people have reported that this method works.

If none of these methods works for you then you need to take your iPhone

to the technician.
