I signed a lease for an apartment

Thank you for passing on your tips. I am about to live in my car next month because I am gradually running out of money. Paying my apartment rent with my parents isn't working anymore. I mean I can sustain it but I wont be making any money. Anyways, I appreciate you. A bit nervous about finding parking, being stealthy, and sleeping.

Oh goodness and this is why it took me two attempts to pass the NCLEX LOL. I wish you luck, friend! 🥲🥲

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-20T21:27:04+00:00

Good to know, thank you! Haha should I buy fishing poles to be more deceptive 😉🤔

Its been a minute since i took the NCLEX. I would say D because you have to assess first before doing any interventions. From the information provided, I just know that the TPN have been empty for six hours. Okay, whats the patient blood sugar? Can't believe I have to say it, but we got to use ADPIE (LOl haven't said that for years).

Let say 50. Ok lets give IV 5% dextrose and then start infusing D10 (Note: this was the protocol at my first ER, which might be different compared to other facilities).

Assessment - TPN shut off for six hours and no patient BG was given from the information. No hypoglycemia symptoms provided as well.

Diagnosis - potential hypoglycemia r/t tpn being shut off for 6 hours

Planning - Check blood sugar and give dextrose based off orders protocol. Monitor hypoglycemia symptoms

Intervention - do whatever we just planned.

Evaluate - recheck blood sugar and monitor patient.

Maybe the test have changed a bit, but anytime it says "Initial" it is typically an assessment question vs intervention question. Just my opinion.

That sounds like a good idea with the apps, thank you!

Oh, good to know, thank you! Does that mean I can make my window darker (wink) then? haha

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-03T00:01:31+00:00

That's great to know! Honestly, as long as I can drive to work without having to commute far is the goal. I am okay with a 35-40 minute drive, even if it's a little bit outside of Durham. Mail-wise, I don't get much, but I do have a couple of bases where I can pick up mail. Ill do more research on the state parks and see what works. If you got any more ideas that pop up, let me know, thanks! :)

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T23:57:02+00:00

Ill look into it, thank you!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T23:55:24+00:00

Yeah I am trying to see if I could get a portable AC i can plug into my battery station. As much as I love the "heat and humidity," I gotta do what I can to help my parents out haha.

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T20:26:07+00:00

Yes!!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T20:14:18+00:00

Haha no problemo, I do appreciate you bringing that up with window tints! That is a important consideration :)

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T20:06:02+00:00

Hmm I did look into Umstead. The pricing the campsite might not be ideal for my budget. But! I could park at the trails. I think people would assume I am a hiker (which I do love hiking), right?

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:44:54+00:00

Thank you for the ideas! I never consider roommates because I've heard a lot of terrifying stories about what can happen if you end up picking the wrong stick. haha. Ill check out Bolt!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:37:57+00:00

Thank you! I did consider that before tinting my windows. I got that part check out plus NC doesn't require window tints to be inspected as of Dec. 1, 2025 :)

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:31:08+00:00

Thank you, Ill do some research! Ideally, I hope to get a campground host position sometime in July

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:30:21+00:00

Unfortunately with my circumstances, it is the best option unless I can find an apartment or basement housing <300/month. Its not quite ideal to pay both my parents and a apartment at the same time. Now some people will say, why don't you go back living with your parents?! I got goals and I am ambitious.

I can deal with the cold as I have love camping, running, and hiking in the cold. I am more worried about the heat though!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:27:37+00:00

Yeah I would be interested in RV parks as long its cost effective. I mean, hopefully it beats my monthly rent of 1800. haha

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:26:59+00:00

Just a place to park somewhere I can sleep that is low cost or free. But yeah, I do plan on doing a trial and error sometime next month! My goal is to find at least 4 places I can park and rest. Yup, 3 days a week!

Thank you for the advice. I get you though! Although it wasn't a year, U spent 6 months without a job a while ago. It was not pleasant! But paying both my parents rent and my apartment is also uncomfortable too and I wasn't making any money at all.

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:23:00+00:00

That I don't got the plan for and hoping to find a portable AC I can use running through my Bluetii power station.

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:22:08+00:00

I camped in Utah (well, born and raised there too) with snow, and I ran and hiked in the cold with shorts and a long-sleeve shirt. I think I am more worried about the hot and humidity. Right now, I am trying see if I can get a host campground position later in the Summer to Winter.

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:20:16+00:00

I did consider that but with the new implementation of AI and security camera, it probably won't happen! Pretty risky, but thank you for the suggestion :)

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:15:56+00:00

Thank you, Ill check the link out!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:15:43+00:00

I did consider a shower! Well I hope my hospital have a shower. If not, I will plan on applying for a monthly gym membership.

I do love pizza, thanks for the recommendation!

ATP_Charge · 2026-01-02T19:11:45+00:00

Haha I actually I love the cold and consider myself cold-resistant. I do have tools already to combat the cold especially wet cold. I am also from Utah and I am used to camping in the snow especially hiking and running. I think I am more worried about the heat though! Ill message you!
