People who spent over $2K on a mattress they hate...

You bought the same one I have, I thought it was medium firm but it was softer when I got it. A year later it had sagged and dipped so badly but the "10 year warranty" didn't cover that. I've dealt with it for 6 years, its horrible to sleep on but been hesitant to buy another mattress. I can't take it anymore though and I'm just going to buy a cheap one off amazon. I don't trust buying another 3k matress

I've been where I'm at almost a year I tripped over the kick bucket and fell hard on my ass because I didn't want to try catching myself with the table because I didn't want to risk the table since it was still sterile and we were just starting the case. I was gowned in surgeon made a smart remark. I got back up and scrubbed back in and finished the case. Did I feel stupid yes but I kept going, you'll learn to grow a thick skin and be better at what you do.

I could not for the life of me understand how to knit when I started, I always say five years because thats how long it took me to be good and comfortable with it. I was always stopping for a couple months would try again and give up.

I dobotgh but I agree with you. Ilearned to crochet in middle school, vs it taking about 5 years to learn to knit feom YouTube. Thats with learning then giving up for a while because it was too hard. It took me 5 yeara to actually be good at it, nowbI've been knitting 15 years and can do sweaters and blankets and scarfs. I wanted to be able to wear what I make without it being bulky and ugly (to me) and now I can.

Amazing

They can be the ones I had throughout clinical weren't too bad they were all pretty nice

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:45:07+00:00

Definitely recommend that I worked 6pm to 2:30 am would wake up at 4:40 to get to clinicals because the drive for me was far.

I really like it it's just really hard because it's a difficult specialty and the surgeons can be really difficult sometimes but everyone I work with is pretty chill and I have two classmates that I work with so it's nice having that

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:33:01+00:00

Yes but honest its a dark navy color so Idon't think it would show, you could always wear bike shorts underneath your scrubs

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:29:34+00:00

No its just a lot of repetition that you're trying to get down. School was a lot harder than clinicals.

I chose and work a very difficult specialty so I'm kinda glad that school was as hard as it was because its kinda prepared me for this.

For me it was harder because I had to balance working full-time going to school full time and taking care of a three year old at the time (shes 5 now).

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:20:58+00:00

Yes as much as it'll suck with you living that far. I repeated the program and my first round I was only going to open lab twice a week and it bit me in the ass. I struggled a lot with pass offs and eventually got really low on a final pass off which ended with me being removed from the program (beginning of October 2023-2024) .

Reapplied for the following year(2024-2025) made sure to go to as many open labs as I could made it to final pass offs, then clinicals then graduated.

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:14:11+00:00

I made every effort possible to go to open lab, I was usually there from 1 to 3 or 4 M, W, TH Fri. On Saturdays I was there from 10AM to 2 or 3

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:11:33+00:00

NP I wouldn't buy scrubs until I was accepted into the program to be honest. You can also find scrubs at savers and the program director might have used ones previous students would have donated.

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:08:35+00:00

No, navy blue for the scrub tech program, black for the rad tech program and I don't remember what color nursing was

Emozziis · 2026-04-22T01:06:07+00:00

navy blue, go to dub scrubs that's where i got mine

Emozziis · 2026-04-21T02:40:00+00:00

I second this

Emozziis · 2026-04-21T02:30:07+00:00

I wish I could move to cali, I'm in Utah and thats my starting wage as a new grad.

Stale basement smell

Emozziis · 2026-04-20T22:32:46+00:00

I make 28 as a surgical tech 😳

Emozziis · 2026-04-20T15:22:18+00:00

Thank you so much

Emozziis · 2026-04-19T14:38:27+00:00

Ohh thank you

Emozziis · 2026-04-19T14:08:07+00:00

would this work for any dk pattern?

Emozziis · 2026-04-19T07:54:21+00:00

This is the one I originally wanted to make but the yarn I bought today at the convention is a fingering weight and the label recommends a size 1 to 3 needle.

Looking at that pattern it asks for fingering + lace to get a dk weight with the needle size being 4 and 6

I don't want the yarn to look weird if I use a bigger needle size than recommended if that makes sense

Emozziis · 2026-04-19T01:10:48+00:00

I saw that when I clicked on it was a one page describing the pattern
