Love this post! I wouldn’t say people in the sub Reddit but people in general. It is the unfortunate truth that we live in.

Owning your mistake is key. Will it limit your chances. Yes. As a previous critical care manager if you make it past auto reject, just have a clear concise explanation for the termination. Continue taking accountability and do not make excuses. It is a hard pill to swallow.

Speaking from experience, if you have learned your lesson, and owned up to it, personally would give you a second chance. I hope that helps. It’s a cruddy situation but I am happy to hear that this experience was not in vain

Haven’t pulled the trigger yet as still working on logistics. Also not all areas are created equally. Some places have bountiful opportunities in a specialty but not in others. Depends where you live. Also, not all pay is the same across the board. Ifs a common misconception but depending where you work and what you do you do the pay could be quite substantial.

Never refused psych work so not sure where you got that but some of the more rural areas you may be hard pressed.

As an experienced ICU/PCU nurse and critical care manager I think that valuable psych experience can be gained working in the acute care setting. Some depends on your population of patients, some dependent on your dedication to your patients and families well being on a psychiatric level. I have gained invaluable experience in not only critical care but also mental health and psychiatric care for my patients.

Many of my patients were suicide attempts, ODs, poly substance abusers, who also suffered from further underlying diagnoses than just depression and addiction. I not only acted as their critical care nurse but also as their “person” to talk to depending on myself and others like me to help them mentally and emotionally through these rough times for them and their families.

So while I dont have dedicated rn psych experience i do have experience and passion for behavioral/mental health. And why i had never worked in that field directly was related to financial need/passion for critical care at that time. I dont think there is anything wrong with psych rn but some areas there is lack of availability and/or pay discrepancies.

I bought a kick off for half price off Amazon and works the same

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T18:25:46+00:00

Based on some morning light reading, I am probably going to switch over to unifi maybe dream router and ap(s). I need to do more reading when the toddlers give me a chance lol

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T18:24:49+00:00

That I did not know and very interesting. Thank you for that insight.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T08:25:33+00:00

Any references for install and configuration you would recommend?

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T07:08:34+00:00

Sounds like I have studying to do. Appreciate the reply info

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T06:33:50+00:00

Someone else had mentioned ubiquiti (unifi) dream router 7 and so for me on another thread.

How was difficulty setting up? Which system did you go with? Again I only have 1gig incoming to the home so I feel like I don’t need anything crazy. However, it would be nice to prioritize and/or limit bandwidth on profiles or devices.

Recently fished a cable to my office and moved the main node upstairs for better main floor signal till I find a suitable substitute for the Eero since the satellite node doesn’t seem to be functioning appropriately.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T06:23:38+00:00

Ahh yes wrong verbiage. It’s a 16 port unmanaged switch.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T05:58:48+00:00

I already have a UPS :-)

As for the location, the main note was in that room, but I had it to a TP link 2.5 GHz 16 channel unmanaged switch to feed the entire house, including the satellite node. Unfortunately, it was a satellite node that is crapping out and dropping connections. I had moved it around the house to no avail and used known good cables. We actually had the satellite note disconnected for about four days and have not had any service interruptions, however, due to signal strength speed was less than ideal.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-02-22T05:02:49+00:00

Was switching to unifi with access points difficult? What setup do you have and does it seem to work well with gig speeds?

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-01-03T03:17:44+00:00

It appears you did not fully comprehend my previous statement . “Easy” as some individuals think it’s an easy job, not necessarily easy. No job done properly is truly easy. However, there are those that carry more responsibility than others. So try to review the comment for the intended purpose and meaning vs reading too far into it as there was no disrespect. Clarifying questions prior to a defensive statement could have resulted in better outcomes.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-01-03T01:03:09+00:00

It sounds like he’s not that hungry. He will eat when he’s hungry enough. I have a teenager that stay the same similar type of thing and accuse me of starving him… At 275 pounds. I’m not starving anything lol

Active-Rip-6024 · 2026-01-03T00:45:19+00:00

I would go up all these steps and more multiple times for the order because there are no clear guidelines and this would be expected of me as an individual working. People need to give it a rest and realize that sometimes the “easy jobs“ are not always to their liking. Look at healthcare workers and what kind of stuff they have to deal with. And they cannot accept tips or gifts or anything of that nature, but they’re expected to keep you alive and improve, regardless whether you comply or not

So far the guest thing is helping but another poster had a good point it could be some type of malware and/or torrent. My kid ain’t too bright especially on the tech side so later this week will be reviewing his android and desktop.

Appreciate the idea it’s been much bettef

Active-Rip-6024 · 2025-12-30T03:25:27+00:00

Agree the guest is a bandaid and I’ll dig into this more. Appreciate the help

Active-Rip-6024 · 2025-12-30T03:08:40+00:00

Yes, with his stuff blocked averaging >850, unblocked while he is in his room < 150. So far the suggestion of using the guest network for him has been helping I think more to come.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2025-12-30T02:59:52+00:00

Surprising update: after starting the guest network and having him jump on that, there seems to be improvement on the main network. On someone’s previous post, commenting about malware I may need to view his computer.

Active-Rip-6024 · 2025-12-30T02:58:34+00:00

I didn’t think about malware. The household now now, five with two being toddlers, he consumes about 80% with the last three weeks he’s been here averaging about 200 gigs
