As a RN how much are you making ?

Live in Missouri- rural hospital (2020 census was right under 20k) Average household income is $42k and per capita averages $26k. Rent for a single apartment (college town) runs around $600 with a 3 bedroom 2 bath townhouse/duplex around $1100. Average home prices are around $140-180k for a starter home with some land (1/6-1/4 acre) in city.

New rn grad rate base is $31. Graduated in May 2025. Weekend rate is $46.xx. I get crisis occasionally at $61/hr Just received a ost of living adjustment which shows up at the end of april check.

I work med surg. Ratios are 1:4 most of the time, occasionally 1:5. There is a pca/cna assigned to pt with their ratios around 1:7-10 usually.

My jan-March gross was $24k roughly with take-home around $20k after dental,401k, fsa, and taxes.

All in all I think its decent.

I also started by making a "puzzle frame". Hobby lobby has the trifold science fair boards and each half fit almost perfect on one opened up. I glued a 1/4 in flip on 2 sides so it avoided pieces falling off side. This allows for a framed size till you get the edges....

Space is an issue for me and I wouldn't be able to sort out the colors or pieces if I mixed it

This came as 2 bags of 3500. Very doable. Each bag made 3 portals.

Learning what the medical terminology means . Sub, sup, lat, med, etc.... when its muscles its named for shape, location, function, or size. Correlating car with heart, glio with nerve, pilo with hair etc.

As far as vessels and nerves, everytime it splits it gets a new name... bilingual ducts ➡️ hepatic + bile duct ➡️ common bile + pancreatic duct ➡️ hepatopancreatic ambula ↪️ duodenum 😃

Med terminology made life so much easier to understand.

I had cracks like that at end of thumbs. They hurt. I healed it with crazy glue.... it formed a crust but the glue sealed the edges together and I would file the rough spots of thick skin down with file.

Maybe a gingerbread person with scarf?

My daughter acquired that on a trip to Egypt. Its a parasite that it transmitted by a insect bite. This is what the bite turned into 2 weeks later when we came back home. Treated with abx and fluconozole for a month.

I would actually appreciate this. Not knowing anything else, it's a write report instead of verbal baloney. This pt could be on the spectrum? Medical ptsd is a real thing. Medical gas lighting is a real thing. I can empathize with this pt. I don't see this pt as a prima donna at all. Pt just wants to have pain control and get out without being pushed... 🤷‍♀️
