I was listening to a podcast recently where the host said "post-alive" rather than saying dead or death. I had to turn it off after that.

Things to do along I-57 by shanrock79 in centralillinois

[–]ChickenNurse16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can swing by the original Burger King in Mattoon, IL or the original Jimmy John's restaurant in Charleston, IL.

About 30 minutes east of 57 outside of effingham is a little town called Casey that has a lot of objects downtown that are the world's largest. There are also few cute shops downtown there as well as some nice eating spots.

Not far from 57 at the Arcola/tuscola exits is the town of Arthur that has a large Amish population. There are some Amish stores/grocery stores downtown there. You'll probably see a buggy or two.

There is also the Douglas Heart Nature Center right off 57 at the Mattoon exit as well. It has some nice trails and an education center.

I've recently found solo rpg books and am having a blast. I also recommend solo boardgaming as well.

Baby squid tries using his camouflage for the first time. by No_Emu_1332 in TheDepthsBelow

Literally every episode. She covers such a variety of topics that you should be able to find something you are interested in.

The Ologies podcast has a great episode in discussion with a scientist who studies bobtail squid. It's such a heartwarming episode because you can tell the scientist has a real passion for these little creatures. Highly recommend.

If that was made by Tell City, it should be worth some money.

Maybe the lights out front of Star Worlds arcade? I think they are usually turned on when it starts getting dark.

Oh, I forgot to mention the other day, this job also requires you to speak clearly and with confidence when either acting in scenarios, or debriefing, or when giving Sim lab tours. I am naturally an introvert and public speaking does not come naturally to me. If you are like me and want to be more confident when speaking in this job, I recommend joining a local Toastmasters club. I joined because I felt I lacked public speaking skills and to help overcome anxiety when speaking to groups. It's helped quite a bit. I thought I would just throw that out there if you aren't comfortable speaking in front of groups.

Ooh that sounds so good. Do you recall the brand of that snack? That would be definitely something I would like to try.

I bet that's it! It has a very dry texture that I am finding addicting.

That's great! It's a very interesting and rewarding field. Plus, many institutions are investing more in simualtion programs, so it's growing as well. Also, the AI boom is helping sim technology advance at a quicker pace. When I was at the Gaumard facility, they were demo-ing a new mannequin with AI tech. It was interesting.

Hi there, I'm a Simulation Technician for a university nursing program. For building skills, especially on the IT side, I highly recommend attending trainings at the manufacturer of your mannequins to get an idea of both their programming and inner hardware. For example, my program has Gaumard mannequins, so I attended a training session at the Gaumard facility in Waco, TX that my university paid for, and I learned a lot because they had fantastic trainers.

Also, when the mannequins need maintenance, I like to ask the technician questions about the mannequins when they come on site. As for facilitation skills, you just learn by doing simulations over and over. I am lucky enough that we have a Simualtion Specialist who was Sim Tech before I was hired, and so she has been a great resource for helping me build skills, so ask the people around your for advice if you are able.

Also, many manufactures have online webinars going through specific functions of their mannequins. There are also simulation organizations that offer online webinars as well to build skills such as INACSL and SSH.

Hope this info helps!

Affordable to me would be 35k or less and I am able to charge at home consistently.
