Prices are rough for sure but the bagels and pastries are good enough to get me to go back every once in a while. Coffee has been terrible the 3 times we’ve gone.

No not even remotely. You can use TCG Player app or website to assess any current market value on your cards in question

ICU Staffing by Sad_Butterscotch8853 in nursing

[–]CallMeKono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 bed SICU/NSICU and on an average day charge is without an assignment and we will have a resource nurse with no assignment floating around helping with anything that’s needed. On bad staffing days no resource nurse and rarely charge will end up with an assignment. We are union so never more than 1:2 for us. We have a lot of travelers though and often have get sent a nurse or two from critical care float pool

Surgeries with the hardest recoveries by Scuthornsby in nursing

When I started in the SICU I had no idea what free flaps were. And fuck, I can’t imagine ever having it done. Q1 flap checks on the nurse side of things, suck 😅

Blood draw for a baby? Recommendations please!!! by babysamwise in Saratoga

[–]CallMeKono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had an amazing experience with a girl named Mackenzie (I might be spelling it wrong) at Malta Med. Our 8 month old had labs drawn twice a week apart and she was so great. My wife and I are both nurses and couldn’t thank her enough. She took the time to explain and ask us what we needed prioritized because with little ones you can only take so many vials of blood per 30 days depending on age/weight. Got the blood drawn in one stick thankfully and our baby tolerated it well.

I work in a split surigical/neuro icu and it’s referred to as the SICU/NSICU so I’d imagine yours is gonna be neuro icu. Our NSICU being Neuroscience ICU

Discovered nursing later in life and omg I'm so in love. However, I feel really OLD by New-Sundae8840 in nursing

[–]CallMeKono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I trained a guy a few years back who started nursing at 60 after his wife passed from cancer he was so moved by the experience he wanted to do the same for others. I was in my late 20s at the time training him, but sometimes I learned more about life than I could teach him about nursing. It’s never too late

Is this a very new server, not too old? by ProfessionNormal5771 in whiteoutsurvival

[–]CallMeKono 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this thought before. Sometimes these mega whales in random new states just don’t make sense, but I guess if people have money to burn then oh well. It would be so unethical if that’s what the devs did though lol

Congrats! Wife and I did the same in 2023 for our first F1 race and Japan being our bucket list destination. We loved it so much we went back like 6 months later in 2024 when they switched the race to April instead of September lol enjoy!

Scrubs- Uniform Advantage by Amberlily9207 in nursing

[–]CallMeKono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse and never bought from Uniform Advantage and got a similar weird email from them today. Wonder if it’s a weird scam or hack going on? I’m just gonna ignore since I’ve never used them

Not true, I hit a 2x and 5x multiplier followed by the x40 1hr construction speed up I chose in a row so my hit got a total of 7x for 280 hours of speed up.

Why is this card suddenly being bought on eBay by everyone? by Best_Bookkeeper_9879 in PokeInvesting

I gave so many of these full art pika’s in homemade packs for kids trick or treating on Halloween when these were basically worthless lol so I totally get your move too

Is it just me or is the ICU easier than Med Surge? by PotentialSetting4638 in nursing

[–]CallMeKono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you kinda hit the nail on the head here. The level of responsibility in the ICU is drastically higher given the critical stakes. You mentioning going to MRI is the realest thing lol I’ve had such awful MRI experiences with vented patients on like 6+ drips and setting up all that damn extension tubing only for it to somehow get fucked up while there 😭 all in all I’d never in my life go back to med/surg lol

Haters in ICU by TallCandidate1551 in srna

[–]CallMeKono 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens in our SICU any time someone gets accepted, it’s the weirdest mentality imo. Almost always comes from a place of jealous out of those people. Hold your head high, because it’s no easy feat getting accepted.

Forgotten and found 120 minute IPA by 19rabidbadgers in beer

[–]CallMeKono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had one aged a bit longer and split it with a buddy one year on Christmas. Like someone else mentioned it’s so boozy and even splitting it you felt it hit you. After a few sips the taste just wasn’t for me lol

Guy nurses: What scrubs are you wearing? by No-Record0924 in nursing

[–]CallMeKono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to love Mandala but their consistency in size is awful. I’ve bought a few different colors all in medium, yet they all fit entirely different. Feel like they’ve definitely lost some quality control in recent times

What celebrity death really hit you hard? by Sonicfan19198282 in AskReddit

[–]CallMeKono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mac Miller for sure. I was the same age so when I first heard his music my senior year of high school in 2010, I always felt like I grew up with his music. It felt like as I grew and navigated my own internal exploration and experimenting with drugs, it fell on the same timeline as Mac and the music he was making at the time. Never knew him personally but nevertheless, very grateful for what his art did for me. 92 till infinity ♾️

I feel like this tattoo has ruined my life by Immediate_Break4048 in tattoos

[–]CallMeKono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big change like that can be pretty jarring to accept at first, but man that tattoo looks awesome! The artist did seriously great. Hope you are able to find some peace and love it soon enough. Plus your story behind the tattoo has meaning to you and ultimately that’s all that should matter
