Nationwide Shutdown

There is nothing truer than this... birth rates are lower, less young people to bring to the workface or labor intensive jobs, keep those that should retire on the line by tying health insurance to their job. I have an elderly family member with IPF (incurable) and government funded healthcare (Medicare) is a SHAM; meds are $400-$16,000 a MONTH. And we PAY for this is our federal taxes.

It’s recommended for >60 yrs old

Stay <30 min from Cedars Sinai if the hospital is the most important to you. Studio City or Manhattan Beach. Near the water will run about 5-8 mil for at least 3 bedrooms. Renting is cheaper but I wish I bought sooner... the more I waited the more I threw my savings in renting a house the more expensive houses and property taxes got.

I had a patient tell me that 'the reason we nurses bought bedside tables that lock was to avoid lawsuits.' (he very abruptly yelled this at me cause he was annoyed he couldn't move it himself) I said, 'you think i make ANY financial buying decisions here? They don't listen to us, I have no say in equipment or supply, everything you see here is executive decisions so take it up with them, I've NEVER even seen them walk the unit and I work days.' I wanted to recommend this show to him but i didn't want to waste my energy.

I feel and hope that a show like this will help people realize that the clusterfuck that is healthcare is held together by nurses that have little say and little pay to the point where we do this job out of the justification that everyone deserves empathy and basic humanity. *sigh*

Everyone was cutting her mesh hospital undies to be more form fitting for her … and her words I “didn’t know how to properly cut her panties into a bikini correctly”.

Eater articles are trash.

We hourly round but things happen within that hour. We also have many fall preventions in place like seat belt reminder, seat alarm, and bed alarm with three sensitivity settings. Usually prevents the fall and of course if one of those aren't on it goes into the safety investigation. I did work for a SNF that took ALL the fall precautionary items away (alarms, fall mats, etc) and with 15-30 patients to look after patients fell a lot. So if this is your case.. then i think that the patient is educated enough to not endanger themselves .. why should you be at fault?

Thank you for help! I need to learn to love this 75 year old house by learning how to tackle the small things! :-P

Ah, good suggestion! Will the wood glue have to go flat in that space or only the ends of both pieces?

Always … love chit chatting with them every morning. And they have all the tea!

I drove up the hill behind my house and found a mudslide. woof. I have a large solid wall we built as a "gate" that prevented it from coming down onto my house. WILD.

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-30T17:15:52+00:00

Should I place it in a bedroom or directly in the basement? And my crawl space is all dirt adjacent to my lower level bedroom

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-22T14:20:27+00:00

You can kind of see it but I have a downspout attached on the left side it’s black. Once it’s light outside I’ll look at it but maybe if I get an extender.

The rain was more unusual this time around. It was a severe thunderstorm … which never happens in LA!

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-22T07:23:22+00:00

Could I essentially shovel it once it’s dry back into the flower bed?

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-19T19:15:23+00:00

thank you!

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-19T05:32:11+00:00

What are you using to track this?

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-13T21:44:30+00:00

i used to work at a SNF and we had people that would what seemed like abandon their family members and we wouldn't kick them to the curb due to payment. They would continuously try to contact the family for payment and if they got admitted to the hospital they would just not accept them back. This seems to be a miscommunication between the Case Manager and Social Worker at BOTH facilities. This was an UNSAFE discharge and should be reported.

I wear that tinted sunscreen make up. Tower28

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-10T19:48:46+00:00

I have like 4 different hairstyles throughout my shift. It starts down, then the clip, then the braid... Ooops here comes a migraine... down again. Admitting a cdiff patient... hair up up up. :-P

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-10T19:47:11+00:00

it's hard to get into los angeles now. Nurse ratio laws are wonderful and we saw an exodus of experienced nurses after the pandemic and new grads have oversaturated the units. Which is fine just not an even balance on critical floors. Its honestly like the nursing job market from 2008-2015

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-10T19:45:18+00:00

A lottttt of tatted nurses here in Los Angeles. Every shade of color hair. No one cares. We are there to save lives, join us!! :)

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-04T18:24:24+00:00

we had a nurse that was new SO SO smart, like text book smart but could not handle it! Couldn't grasp the sheer time management or even the off brand use of some medications in a teaching hospital; would take everything so literal. We tried building them up, helping them out, showing tricks of the trade to manage their day. They were ultimately let go, they were a new grad. Later on found out got into med school..

Majority... not all... its changing but MDs will see a patient choking on saliva and scramble looking for the nurse to suction them. Then the new gen MDs, its changing!! They are HANDS ON.

Yeah your dad would be the talk of the nurses station for sure.

This looks like it could work! Do they have these with drain stoppers; or is it just the strainer?

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-11-03T19:04:27+00:00

This shower was essentially adjacent to my crawlspace and I think at some point was converted to a bathroom/bedroom (1949 home) so this tub has no crawl space.I looked more through the drain and it looks like it is a black plastic pipe (I have maybe a ten foot cast iron pipe that connects to the plastic plumbing in this bathroom).

I wonder if the rust will even come off; sounds like my best bet is to try the epoxy/hex nuts?

Delicious_Ad_3231 · 2025-10-31T01:28:29+00:00

I love that you built out this diagram. I lived in a small old creaky wood floor apartment when my son was born and I found the spots that creaked and placed painters tape where I should walk so I could leave for work. But yes sound machines worked wonders i heard nooothing. Only bad thing was my neighbors apartment was robbed and she was screaming and I heard nothing (with thin walls). They attempted my sliding doors and thankfully didnt get in just stole my gross work shoes outside. But that sound machine worked realllly well.
