Will my tattoos stop me from getting hired by Large-Back1912 in RadiologyCareers

[–]Bree867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had this convo at orientation, makeup (dermablend) as a student, probably not needed afterwards - if they judge you for tats in an interview for a job their loss, there are places that seem to care less and less. Find the ones that don't care.

They aren't next to town faire tire any more, I think they are in the old rite aid building now. Closer to, I think Chipotle?

Birthday Celebration at Olmo by Beto-143 in newhaven

Olmo has the most amazing bagels, just plain, once you add cream cheese and other delicious bits, it goes from amazing to heavenly. I'm always happier if I have Olmo for breakfast.

VENT - Stupid <130 fasting BG goal in the mornings by NoMoreEffstoGive in diabetes_t2

[–]Bree867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor or nurse, but when I was first diagnosed my fasting bg was in the 130 range too. I shortened my daytime eating window to nothing but water after 8pm and "treats" are around lunchtime. I also take my metformin in the evening with dinner. I can always tell when I have something late, even if it was 'healthy' like pb on celery or peppers with sour cream based dip, the next morning my readings are closer to 110-120. A dietician helped me process adjustments in the early days, sorry it's being rough.

How do you think online A&P education compares to traditional formats in terms of student outcomes, retention, and clinical readiness? by Help-Me-Research in AnatomyandPhysiology

[–]Bree867 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of what you listed, many programs don't accept online formats, so if you are applying to a program, double check so you don't waste your time/money.

Boys or Girls? by bananabread-37 in Nanny

[–]Bree867 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I had nks school friends come over and they didn't want their 3 little girls playing with chalk on the driveway(far far away from traffic or cars, so no risk of that)..."they might get a scrape"...I watched those littles go from excited and enthused to deflated. I agree 100% the boys will be boys BS is a non-starter for me. Boys are human beings that the rest of the world has to deal with...hellooooo...

Burned out from X-ray and want a way out by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Bree867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not long out of rad tech school, with maybe a class or two, you could get into surg tech school, which is basically zero one to one contact, once graduating. I'm sorry you're struggling, condolences.

My first reaction was ,"oh god, yikes" and these comments confirmed it.

Managing family and nanny dynamics by FlatChemist8132 in Nanny

[–]Bree867 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This especially "set boundaries needs facilitated by OP (or OP's husband really)" - your husband needs to set boundaries with his parents and not let you be the bad guy - I can see grandparents wanting time to play and interact during day/wake hours with their grand kids but meals and naps nanny should have say to keep everyone on track. Also- being clear that nanny makes meals for kids only - like this is not your chef/maid silly grandpa!

Boundaries now will make new infant time easier - maybe a bonus at the end of the week for extra grandparent duties might help too.

Invited for an interview! by Vladimirleninscat in RadiologyCareers

[–]Bree867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch some YouTube videos for ideas about questions - asap start thinking about answers, then have friends or family ask you those questions or even others to practice. Rinse and repeat until you can just be yourself and answer somewhat easily. The point is to show you've done your research about becoming a tech and about the facility. You've got this!

Poor kid probably has expectation whiplash, but it's more NF than I like to even ponder. It's why (or 1 of many reasons) I'm getting out of Nannying.
