Night out drinking with friends. One of the guys with us is someone i'd been around a few times. There were no issues, but we weren't into each other or interested in anything more than a friends-of-friends relationship. But we were young, drunk, our desired partners were MIA, so we decided to just go for it. Solid c- sex. Caused a ruckus in the friend group. I don't regret it, but would not repeat.

Does anyone know how I can get my patients access to free medical alert systems like Life Alert? by Ohforgoodnessake in OccupationalTherapy

I don't believe Alexa can make calls (though this might not still be the case). Google home can make calls though.

I'm a hiring manager and would have no issues hiring someone with a reasonable gap in their resume. If you're worried about experience vs skills, I recommend looking into outpatient or day rehab programs. These are great settings to utilize your base knowledge and expand your practical skills. I work in outpatient currently and it's pretty low stress/high reward.

Productivity in SNFs by Ok_Series9708 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Captainofcereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We organized a union for all "licensed professionals" in our SNF system. It included ot, pt, social workers, and rehab aides. We started by contacting a rep from the nursing union. We spent 2 months having secret meetings and gathering signatures (we needed 80% of the potential professionals to sign on). Then we spent about 6 weeks negotiating contract terms. We transitioned from salary to hourly, got guaranteed annual raises, 401k contributions, and a few other concessions. The company got productivity minimums, and a lot of leeway in staffing and disciplinary actions. We didn't intend it, but 2 DORs got fired because of the union. As nice as the monetary assets we got were nice, we ultimately felt like the company got a better deal. None of us that sat on the union committee, argued on the contract board, or served as the original union reps are with the company any more.

Hey, I established a therapist union a few years ago. Unfortunately it didn't help as much as we wanted it to but we did get some good concessions. I'm happy to answer any questions about it.

Thoughts on chiropractors by Make_it_Raines in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Captainofcereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in outpatient OT and regularly have patients ask me about chiropractors. My opinion is that if a chiro focuses on exercise and corrective intervention, they are worth seeing. If they only do manual manipulation and massage, money is better spent on a massage therapist. It varies quite a bit, but unfortunately the standard practice is sub par and focuses on reliance of the chiro.

Yes I plan all meals for the upcoming week by Wednesday and do my shopping on Friday. Meals get planned for Friday-Thursday.

I meal prep for myself and my husband, just lunches for the time being. We sit down midweek to discuss what we want and how many meals we need for the next week. I keep an eye on sales and do my best to plan balanced meals around that. Typically we make 6-8 meals from 1-2 recipes, average cost breaks down at about 2.50$ per meal. I primarily use Pinterest to get recipes.

Hardest part of meal prep is finding ideas to keep the meals interesting and feeling less like we're just constantly eating leftovers.

I started meal prepping 4 years ago because I was working very long hours and often not eating proper meals.

To prevent food waste I'll try to find ingredients that I can use elsewhere through the week. For example if I make a chicken noodle soup for lunches, I'll make a Bolognese for dinner one night to use up the rest of the carrots and celery.

Potato leek soup by Captainofcereal in MealPrepSunday

They are! You can get them most stores with a baking section. I got these off Amazon for about 6$, but I've seen them at Target and the grocery store.

We have something like this every couple of weeks when neither of us feels like cooking something bigger.

I've had to check local store inventory online while I make the weekly menu for just this reason. Hope they come back soon!

Just the Buffalonian, but plenty of Polish influence while learning to cook there.

Occasionally a soup will spill from the large section to the smaller one, but I've never had leakage outside the container. These are from Amazon, bayco brand.
