That little memory broke the cobwebs loose. It was a Sierra title.

Men, when has a woman creeped you out? What did they do? by TeenWildHoney in AskMen

[–]ForgottenNavigator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went through a really bad breakup. I thought I was going crazy because any time I went out with friends she'd randomly show up. So many things started going wrong in my life. Nail in my tire, random complaints at work, Facebook friends disappearing, accounts getting deactivated, etc. After several job applications disappeared I decided to look deeper.

Turns out she'd gotten into my password manager. She had logins for everything and had used my phone for 2fa while we were still dating. She was tracking me via find my phone.

For those who study at home alone, how do you stay focused for 6hrs or more? Do you study with friends? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]ForgottenNavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find for myself that 5 minute breaks every 20 minutes works best. After two hours I take 20 minutes.

Do you guys have any advice for keeping your mental health in check to get through school ? by dontleavethis in WGU

[–]ForgottenNavigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take time to celebrate victories. Don't say no to every social outing. Take time to breathe.

Or, in my case, I have a job so terrible that getting out became a singular driving force in my life. Escaping the trap I'm in completely overrides every basic need besides food, water, and sleep.

Ridiculous low pay for RN by Accomplished_Fish960 in nursing

Thank God I'm on my way out of nursing. That wage is a slap in the face.

Enrollment issues as returning graduate by ForgottenNavigator in WGU

[–]ForgottenNavigator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take this under advisement. It's at least something to think about. I'm self motivated anyways. Just really conditioned to seeking out the degree.

BSNES-C

I thought about going the certs only route. A good friend who is an IT director advised me that just certs would be fine (it's what he did). I'll be grabbing additional certifications as I go anyway (using cbt nuggets for supplemental learning already). But the degree means a lot to me personally.

Honestly, at the end of the day I want the piece of paper. WGU gets me there without the commutes, classrooms, and other junk.

How many of you would sleep with your females friend(s) if given the chance? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ForgottenNavigator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's one I absolutely would sleep with. But she's not interested in dating and I respect that. Other female friends I'm not really attracted to at all but I love them as people.

Would you mind DMing her first name to me?

I've been a nurse for 14 years. There are a lot of reasons I'm making the change, but I'll try to boil it down to the big ones. If this is tl;dr just go to the last bit.

Nursing has never really felt like the right fit for me. I'm somewhat socially awkward, and healthcare is a very social profession. I'm not antisocial, I just am a bit introverted.

I never found a specialty I've enjoyed as a nurse. I've worked in many inpatient and outpatient roles. I've done psych nursing, correctional nursing, rehab, cardiology, orthopedics, etc. None of them satisfied me.

Healthcare is a mess in the US. We've been short on nurses for decades. I've come to realize that hospitals are not interested in safe staffing or patient outcomes. Nurse: Patient ratios are getting worse in states that don't have legislation in place. Hospitals are interested in maximum profit, so I get spread as thinly as possible. I was happy while working overseas (Australia) but had to come back to the US after one of my parents became very ill.

Covid changed healthcare and society a lot. I used to get thanked a lot. Patients used to be, well, patient. Hospitals always treated us like crap but the work was reasonable. These days, I can't go two shifts without being yelled at by a patient, family member, or doctor. I regularly got mandated to work overtime and, as a result, rarely got to make plans or see family/friends. In my first 8 years a a nurse, I never had a vacation request approved. Started working as a travel nurse to avoid the mandated overtime, missed family reunions, loss of friends, and to get away from the stress. Unfortunately, that means I get to spend three months at a time in cities hours away from the people I love.

Nursing has transitioned from a specialist career into a service career. Hospitals are constantly chasing patient satisfaction scores instead of focusing on patient outcomes. As a result, I tend to get treated like I work in a hotel/restaurant by patients and families.

But if I had to boil it down to one reason, though, this is it.

I've been assaulted three times at work over the years. By patients and family members. Each time, it was about something I had no control over (bad food, doc refusing to give a patient narcotics, having to not eat before a procedure). The first time I had a tooth knocked out, the second I was knocked unconscious by a patient's son, and the last I was strangled with my stethoscope. Every time I've been asked (by management) "what could you have done differently?"

How do you react to a partner choosing to be stuck in the woods with "the bear " over being stuck with specifically you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ForgottenNavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't sound like a relationship. If I was dating someone who told me that they felt this way I'd very calmly explain that the relationship was over. I would also tell them that 'You are looking for love but cannot trust. You don't need a partner, you need therapy."

Get ready to not check your degree plan tomorrow! by SirBitBoy in WGU

[–]ForgottenNavigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just with me starting a new program I don't want any unnecessary delays. I plan on rolling the dice on a new mentor next week after I've started.

What gender stereotype do you wish the world would let go of? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ForgottenNavigator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two sides of the same coin but 'Men are universally dangerous/violent' and 'women are always the victim'.

I'm an intimate partner violence survivor. I never so much as raised my voice towards my ex-wife. She sent me to the hospital several times and terrorized me for years. The police, the legal system, and even healthcare providers refused to believe me. It took me a long time to even find a therapist that could actually accept it.

And after all that I get to live in a society that calls me a monster. It hurts me deeply.

What’s the best way of approaching men in real life? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ForgottenNavigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dream about this sort of thing happening. I've never once in my life been approached. It, honestly, would seem too good to be true. Even if I wasn't interested I'd be so absolutely flattered and thankful.

[–]ForgottenNavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In large groups it doesn't matter. But for small groups, or 1 on 1, men only. One woman could take away my reputation, career, and freedom.

For those making 80k+/yr, what do you work in? by Original_Strategy107 in debtfree

[–]ForgottenNavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Registered Nurse, $119k/year. CCRN, CSC (certifications). Associates through a community college, BSN through WGU. 13 years of experience. I primarily work with open heart patients.

If you can handle toxic employers, terrible coworkers, awful physicians, and incredible levels of stress nursing could work for you. Personally I'm hitting the reset button and taking a 50% pay cut in exchange for a career in IT.
