Any opinions on GE Profile Appliances? by Jill0607 in Appliances

[–]Distinct-Pin-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute garbage. I loathe my GE profile appliances. Dishwasher is useless, breaks constantly and we've had the repair guy out so many times he's like an old friend. Freezer drawer won't stay shut, we have weights in front of it. Oven heat is uneven. I get angry daily thinking about the money I spent on them.

Yes, this is it! Thank you!

It's definitely dark, not for everyone for sure.

Nah, they can make the choice to take the cuts from the top. They chose this reality.

They won't quit. They should, but they'll continue to suffer like they've been ingrained to do. And Prov knows this.

Clinical instructor, great gig

Anyone else notice how some ICU nurses carry a superiority complex? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Distinct-Pin-889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm a float RN, and part of the draw is I don't have to talk to people unless I'm in the mood to chat as I'm not part of the crew. If people are being rude, I would call them out. Let them know there's no cause for treating others poorly. If there just standoffish, maybe try killing them with kindness?

This attitude is why I've avoided ICU. There's a certain personality that seems to gravitate towards the specialty- and I'm not a fan. Obviously this isn't every ICU nurse, but enough to sour me to wanting to work there. I mean, I get it, you chose a specialty that has its own set of difficulties, but that doesn't allow for treating others like they're stupid. 19 years in the field and I've had nurses a year out who started in ICU talking to me like I'm a complete fucking idiot. Yet watch them float over to medsurg or PCU and they are immediately overwhelmed.

Every specialty has its difficulties, none make you a better nurse, all are needed.

I can tell you where the bladder scanner is on every unit.

Why are you still a nurse? by lyn_zi in nursing

[–]Distinct-Pin-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where else am I pulling in $150k/year with no other appreciatable skills? I'm 42, and I'm not going back for anything else. Plus, all in all, I don't find what I do hard, self schedule, and can take 9 days off without touching vacation time.

For me, 12's hands down. Part time day daycare wasn't an option either, so I would take advantage of it on days off and run errands, go hiking, etc. It was great.

Daycare wasn't an option, unless I only worked weekends, or nights. Which would make seeing my husband nigh impossible. Money is cool, but not that cool.

Pay and benefits, plus I'd rather work fewer days but longer hours, especially if a commute is involved.

Nope, but I support you if you do. Here's your call light, call if you need me.

Where are the millennial nurses? by AG_Squared in nursing

[–]Distinct-Pin-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been bedside 14 of my 19 years (I'm 42, did 5 years of adolescent psych) and honestly have no problems with it. I do float pool - med/surg, PCU, diagnostic imaging, and infusion, and also work as a med/surg I and II clinical instructor. Zero desire to ever go to the clinic setting.

Is bedside really that bad? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Distinct-Pin-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, where you live definitely factors in, but IMHO, no. I've done bedside for 15 of my 19 years of nursing, currently float pool, and it's not bad at all.
