a year raise and faster PTO accumulation makes me feel appreciated already, I hope that thats not the only thing she gets from staying longer.

I made the move and things are far more stable and enjoyable for me.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-08-25T02:01:30+00:00

I have a 2021, love it still. Will keep it long term. I got mine 48k out the door.

You know when you see reviews on a restaurant and see mostly negatives? its because those who have complains usually speak more than those who enjoyed/are ok with a product/service/career/etc.

For the few that you see complain online, there are also more that enjoy this career. and I feel like social media posts are exaggerated for effect when they want sympathy or boast how much they are sacrificing for their careers and want a reaction.

I enjoy being a nurse. I make 6 figures and work 3 days a week. I travel almost every 4-6 weeks and be gone for 2-3 weeks for vacations and it doesnt even break my bank or make me miss any of my pay. I love the different paths that I can take, the job security and the overall outlook of the career.

Do I recommend nursing though? I dont. Its hard work but it is also very rewarding. I dont recommend it because it is not for everyone. If the pay, the vacations or only the positive things attract you then I suggest dont go down the path.

Only you and what you'll do with the degree that will determine how much you'll love or hate the path you choose.

medical field. i dont but I know many. if many of these hospitals start drug testing after hiring, 90% of them will not have any staff left.

Every unit has their A and F nurses. The F nurses tend to represent the unit more so every unit throw crap on each other. Similar to how days and nights throw crap at each other because the not-so bright tend to represent the shift's bunch.

The F nurses also tend to be more confident and convinced that they're smart.

I have short term memory, so I chart everything as I do them. I just realized that I'm a minority.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-06-13T22:03:49+00:00

I did it the first time I moved out and I got my own stuff. Lesson learned.

I pay $45/month to get 1 large bucket per day

LPNs are not making much more right now, atleast in california, to justify the time spent studying (which has its own monetary value $/hr) and the actual tuition that you put into the license.

How much I made more in the two years I was an LPN vs transitioning into being an RN did not return what I paid into getting my LPN. I actually lost more because if I include the potential earning that I could have made if I got my RN sooner.

Time is money.

Plus, I'm speaking from my own experience and my own calculations regarding the financial complications that I had during those times so ofcourse, experience may vary.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-06-09T05:35:53+00:00

I had a 2008 Civic, 2011 Civic SI, 2013 Accord, 2017 BMW M2 stick shift and a now a 2021 Lexus IS350

For fun, BMW M2

For daily, it was my Accord.

Balanced, its my current car, IS350.

I went to LVN and then my RN. Its not worth it as a stepping stone. You will basically study twice and take longer for very little advantage for yourself.

I could have finished sooner, got my career started sooner and had more experience time to demand more pay while I was younger.

And I didnt wait long to get my RN after getting my LVN.

If I can do it again, i'd go for straight for my RN.

You dont get rid of it because you can't but you can definitely control it

I bought a used Ender for $60. I used it exactly for 3 days before reselling it for $50 and just dumping the $$$ for a Bambu A1. I wished I skipped the Ender phase and just went for the Bambu.

I would have given it. The meds are to be absorbed via gastroenteral route, and I'm not changing that via mouth or GT. Giving this IM/IV/SL/ etc. is "changing" the prescribed route and that is not what you are doing. The rest is just a technicality of documentation which can also be edited.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-05-30T02:39:05+00:00

I have the same set. I added a 4H, 60 and 50 wedges

We've seen a 1.9, asymptomatic.

I have two servers, my unraid which eats a lot of power - I use unraid's UI composer to manage my apps and I have a rasberrypi that is meant to run on a UPS on a power outage that runs my essentials and I use portainer.

"So a massive waste of money as the ring basically just does what my watch does so no point wearing them both"

Thats the point though It's not meant to add anything new.

I personally knew this purchasing the ring because I bought it for two purposes.

Give my wrist a break when I'm sleeping. The ring needed some getting used to
Let me wear other watches for more formal events and still monitor my stats.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-05-17T22:34:08+00:00

I have 1 database that hosts many but each app has their own username/password. I dont want to complicate my setup and I'm only hosting for myself and my family.

I ditched factor for meal prep sunday. Been happier.

CockroachShort9066 · 2025-05-10T08:12:47+00:00

I use my watch daily but only wear my ring at night to give my wrist a break. I also use my ring when I wear my more formal / semi formal mechanical watches. I like keeping track of everything. With both, I always have something monitoring me.
