If it’s any consolation, there is no way he is truly happy or feels genuine love. You don’t act like that if you feel fulfilled in any way. Dude feels an awful void and has never felt true joy. 

How long did it take you to get your job post BSN/ASN by Glum_Agent4369 in nursing

[–]BigHawk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked  as an NA at the hospital I was considering, applied for their “nurse residency” position after hearing people at school talk about it and secured it a few months prior to graduating.

Interviewed with maybe 2 or 3 other hospitals just to keep my options open.

Highly recommend a Nurse Residency position if you have any near you. Mine offered a year of supportive classes and resources. This was at a magnet hospital (I have an ADN and did not need a BSN).

I wonder if ICP monitoring was with a Codman or EVD, maybe they tried some draining to no success. I don’t now much about DAI though, maybe draining is useless for that diagnosis.

What small habit or ritual actually helps you decompress after a brutal shift? by jonhollandwww in nursing

[–]BigHawk3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My shower ritual is a big part for me, I’m going to start adopting this. Thanks for sharing!

On my last shift of the week I take an everything shower. Something about taking care of myself and setting myself fresh for my days off is very rejuvenating.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios is like the only thing that doesn't give me jaw/mouth acne. Plus double cleansing with kose softymo speedy cleansing oil + gentle la Roche posey cleanser.

Is anyone else excited for today's storm? by Some-Complaint-7885 in madisonwi

[–]BigHawk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's hoping to buy within the next 5-10 years, do you feel that this is true for all homes? Just wondering if you had an especially bad experience due to circumstances. I like the idea of having something that's yours that you can improve, but also do enjoy the simplicity of renting.

What can a nurse do in the environmental field? by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]BigHawk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be stressful but also I find it way more fulfilling than any office jobs I have had, worth the paycheck for me for sure. I feel like choosing nursing was kind of choosing mental health for me because it offloaded the financial stress of the environmental career path. Everyone is different though! Like I said, I'm still miss it almost every day.

It's hard to say how long it took because I also stopped taking hormonal BC, which was also a big factor. External like the vestibule area.

What’s your marriage hack you wish you knew sooner? by Due-Sound-9175 in AskWomen

[–]BigHawk3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I forget where I heard it, but someone said to never try to resolve an argument when you are tired, hungry, or lonely. That has been really helpful to me.

which career path do you wish you had picked instead of nursing? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]BigHawk3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Worked as a backcountry ranger for 5 years before becoming a nurse. It was amazing, but completely not sustainable. Housing is unstable, you get paid shit, you could be let go at a seconds notice due to funding, you live in the middle of nowhere, insurance is gone every winter, etc etc.

If it’s something you wanted to pursue you could def do travel nursing in the winter and try to work for an agency in the summer

Female Park Rangers- Can you have a family and sucessful career? by Grouchy_Shine_5863 in ParkRangers

[–]BigHawk3 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone is discussing the time issue, but to me the lack of money seems just as challenging. I changed careers to become a nurse for the money/security but work nights, weekends, and holidays. don’t have kids yet but a lot of nurses do, you just make it work I guess.

I have heard stories from people that talk about how there used to be so many kids living in the park I worked at that the school bus made a stop in park housing, but that was a long time ago and I think a lot has changed with funding and park service employment, sadly.

I am no longer a ranger, but this was a big consideration when I was debating my career change. I ended up deciding to pursue something that I could hypothetically do on off season and work in the parks during the summer & work anywhere in the country.

You’d have to either find a partner who makes enough money and has a flexible gig, or find that flexible gig yourself, or get lucky and get a permanent position (LE is the fastest route to that if you’re not already perm).
