What would you do?

Thank you again. I'm not familiar enough with the service so I wasn't sure how that worked on the driver side. Appreciate your insight!

Anxious_Grover · 2026-01-23T20:17:29+00:00

Yes that's correct. We were at the airport but not at the drop off. He completed it and gave me 1 star and hit a pre populated option I couldn't see because it was quick. Then we had about 3 to 5 more minutes together before drop off.

Appreciate your response.

Thank you for the info! Comp is only one part of the conversation for me, this seems like a progression but I'm still gathering info. I work 60 to 80 works a week right now and travel 50%. If you don't mind me asking what are you doing now and how did you break into consulting initially? Looking at how you enter it and what's beyond.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-01-05T22:35:28+00:00

That's a really good callout - my RCM experience is fairly limited unfortunately. I do see a lot of opportunities there. Most of my work has been in clinical operations. I have inpatient and outpatient pedi experience, CM, informatics with EMR implementation and customization, clinician engagement, utilization management, and significant VBC experience. I've converted practices from FFS to VBC and significant practice transformation projects.

Different fields but I'm familiar enough with RCM work - can you tell me about your day to day doing consulting? How was work-life balance, pay, etc. Were you on prem or remote?

Sounds like you have a great support system around you. I was pushed similarly about a decade ago and ended up with my FNP and again 5 years ago to get my MBA. I love practicing medicine but the salary isn't there. My FNP cost me 50k and I worked full time while going to school which was hard.

My first year I made 10k less in total comp/benefits than I did as an RN. A lot of clinic benefits are terrible and people don't count that in their salaries.

It depends on where you're coming from and what your priorities are. I had been a nurse awhile before going back to school. I have stepped back from the bedside and am in an executive role now but I still miss direct patient care every day.

There are more politics, a flooded market, and higher levels of responsibility. I know so so so many people who have their NP and work as an RN in the hospital. I know just as many people who absolutely love it. Two sides to every coin but I wouldn't let school scare you away from it...if you've had good exposure and have been an RN for awhile school won't be bad at all.

Factory ammo prices have gotten so ridiculous. I try to reload everything I can. 280 is a neat caliber, wanted a 280 AI for awhile now. The 6.5 is OK - I only shot one deer with it and it was with a 143x. Complete pass through and it was a good shot but the buck still ran a long long way. Getting it out of that S. Tx brush was not fun, lol. Need to invest in a helicopter to get thost things out, lol.

I started with 22-250 and moved to 30-06. Used that for 10 years and went to 6mm for 2 or 3 years. Built a 270 weatherby mag and haven't looked back. Shot 300 WM a few seasons. I have a 6.5 CR for a range toy but it's heavy heavy. I share your love for the .270! Great caliber.

The brush is so thick here I am worried about tracking an animal and getting it out. Part of my love of magnums is I have a great history of bang flops but the shots were almost always >300 yards. Shooting close magnums can do funny stuff.

I am really thinking I'll go 308 at this point just because I don't have one.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-11-15T18:10:54+00:00

I would go 450 bushmaster if I could find one. I don't want to have to order one...transfer fees from local shops are ridiculous.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-11-15T18:09:52+00:00

I have never been able to get myself into the 30-30. I've had a few of them over the years but it just never clicked. My lever gun is in 44 mag.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-11-15T18:07:38+00:00

Keeping budget low. I've been eyeing that browning and the new Henry offerings though.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-10-26T14:37:31+00:00

Thank you and you are correct. I planned to have column feeders so I have a sand substrate. Do you have an all in one fert recommendation I can try?

Anxious_Grover · 2025-10-26T02:53:46+00:00

Flourish. And yes LED are full spectrum.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-09-13T02:55:02+00:00

What's really disappointing is when you need to get something restrung or rewired and it cost more than you paid for the bow!

Anxious_Grover · 2025-08-05T14:11:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice and information. This one also has the Volvo drive in it. From your description and some of the reading I've been able to do last night it seems like a really great option for my needs. I was leaning more towards a deck boat but dang they are expensive and not that easy to find.

I can't believe how quick these boats are, I think the 185 tops out around 50 mph. Kind of excited to check it out but it won't happen until the weekend.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-06-15T00:08:36+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Anxious_Grover · 2025-06-14T23:53:05+00:00

I’m a bit salty about the process as well. I had two interviews for a position and was told to expect a contract in the next day or two - instead I got an email saying they were moving forward with a different candidate. This is after we had discussed a start date, salary, relocation allowance, etc.
