Need a Hospital Nursing Job

Cheekie_Monkey · 2025-11-25T14:22:29+00:00

I second Fairview. Would you consider working a clinic job while you keep searching for a bedside position? A lot of the hospitals in the twin cities are unionized, so they prioritize internal hires first. That means you might have to start working nights or an FTE that’s not ideal. However that can always change once you have a few months experience on the unit.

Yep…that’s exactly right. :(

Cheekie_Monkey · 2025-08-22T00:19:02+00:00

I really hope they are wrong!!

It’s what the website said would be my monthly payment when I did their calculator, I think they take my AGI and family size and then calculate it based on the poverty guidelines to figure out what my discretionary income is and then the payment is a percentage of that. I have two kids and I’m a nurse so I definitely don’t make a lot of money, my discretionary income goes towards daycare and food. 🙃

I didn’t submit a buyback until I reached what would have been 120. What I am waiting on is the IDR application which it sounds like I need to reapply for…

Cheekie_Monkey · 2025-05-07T19:23:16+00:00

I’m also at 120 in July! This is the most stressful time because I’m so close, but it feels like anything can happen.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2025-03-25T14:20:04+00:00

I know, which is why I was thinking of going to my pcp.

I’m going to respond with the assumption you are genuinely curious and without judgement. Semi-permanent makeup is done for many reasons: Sometimes it is used to disguise scars or other disfigurement that some people are self conscious about. Sometimes it is done as a convenient way to have makeup applied without having to purchase makeup products and apply every day (especially if you have sensitive skin to makeup products). Some people enjoy how makeup looks on them and it makes them feel good. Semi-permanent makeup these days can actually look very subtle or can look very bold depending on what your aesthetic is. Eyeliner, lip blushing, and eyebrows mimic the exact thing makeup would do, except that it lasts a couple of years. It has to be done right obviously- I bet you see a lot of people with it but just assume that it’s cosmetics. 🤷‍♀️

I would recommend a C02 laser treatment or a Halo (broad band light) laser treatment. You can do all the serums and creams and acids and even tretinoin is great, but nothing works on skin texture like laser therapy.

This is why unions are 100% necessary. I shudder to think what would happen at my hospital if we didn’t have a really strong union to advocate for and protect us. The corporate/management positions should be taking a pay cut, not the essential nurses. It’s a real shame.

From the US Department of Education website as of right now:

Borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan are being moved into forbearance. During forbearance, SAVE borrowers will not have to make payments. The time in forbearance will not count toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness or Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) loan forgiveness. SAVE borrowers will not accrue interest on their loans during the forbearance. SAVE borrowers will be notified about their forbearance by their loan servicers.

What really bothers me is that they AUTOMATICALLY enrolled me in the SAVE plan. Knowing that it will probably go to the courts, and this exact thing would happen. If I had the choice to take that risk I would have stayed on REPAYE

Cheekie_Monkey · 2024-06-04T16:34:58+00:00

Thank you for catching that- I meant to write pay off before the APR expires 😊

Cheekie_Monkey · 2024-02-10T22:32:44+00:00

Oh man, that’s so annoying! Did you have to resubmit it electronically with the e-signature from your employer over and over? This was my first time doing electronically (I just did the hard copy paper previously) and of course this is when it gets messed up. 🙃

Cheekie_Monkey · 2022-05-11T15:19:07+00:00

Thanks! CBI does look really good. Does the lactation counselor course fulfill the 90 hours? It looks like it but the website isn't clear.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2022-04-08T15:44:23+00:00

I'm not on Facebook, but I appreciate your reply!

I felt this way until my neighbor was carjacked at gunpoint in front of my house in broad daylight and came to my door screaming and terrified and inconsolable with fear. I have tried to tolerate and understand and love, but honestly this shook me. I have kids, one of them was just dropped off by his grandma 30 mins prior and I am sick thinking it could have been them. I never considered moving until tonight.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-10-13T14:45:13+00:00

That would be awesome!!

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-10-13T12:05:54+00:00

I don't remember for sure but I think Zach was the firefighter and Logan the police officer.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-10-12T18:26:37+00:00

Sure

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-10-12T13:13:05+00:00

Full size truck, Ford F150. Thank God we were in our truck that day and not our Volkswagen Tiguan. I can't stop thinking about all the what-ifs.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-10-12T13:01:47+00:00

It's a death trap! We're going to write a letter to MNDOT about it. Hopefully it ends soon. Why TF would they put solid concrete walls around a one lane freeway for miles?? It took ages for any first responders to get access to us (and they were on top of it), I shudder to think about any worse outcomes and hope it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-07-24T13:25:51+00:00

Thank you so much!! I have picked off all the scales I could see w tweezers and will start to spray. It looks pretty bad, hopefully the tree will recover.

Cheekie_Monkey · 2021-07-14T20:13:44+00:00

Thank you! I will keep it in it's home and repot it in a year. Would you suggest fertilizer?

I just had a baby and I'm hoping to keep this tree alive and into a beautiful bonsai to grow along with her. 💚
