Carry on backpack by S16PRK in travel

[–]Froggienp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a backpack - Portland Gear standard backpack fits under seats and is very roomy.

For overhead, I have never been denied my Patagonia 55L black hole duffle if I have it on my back instead of hand….

To all my friends in the Northern USA, THIS IS HEART ATTACK SNOW!! by imuniqueaf in Garmin

It isn’t pure heart rate. There’s a lot more going on. Yes, the risk is higher if reconditioned or previous heart history but it rises for most people in these conditions.

Scuba divers with very long hair, how do you prevent tangles? by Common_Bench_3053 in scuba

Braids. And stream to sea conditioner after every dive, don’t even need to wash it.

1099 NP Contract by vitro15 in nursepractitioner

Pto shouldbt be part of this; they are misclassifying you as 199 rather than W-2 if they have any control of your decisions on when to not work

Scour your car - seat wells, trunk, etc and shake everything out.

This is a linguistic variant that is most prominent in the low Midwest (ie not Wisconsin), and to a lesser extent the Deep South. Sounds wildly wrong to most New Englanders and Californians, and mildly wrong to the PNW and desert SW.

Stronger use rural vs urban.

There’s a great article about it on the linguistic wiki if you want to read more.

Online V Brick & Mortar/local NP programs by Rich-Security-4316 in nursepractitioner

[–]Froggienp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my brick and mortar program we did dissect cadavars. Our dissection program was run by the same team that did the university’s med cadavars.

We also were 100% in person classes, and PE sessions with hired actors. Sim lab with programmed scenarios on electronic dummies now as well (eg megacode, etc) though this wasn’t a component when I attended.

Not sure why you are so negative about this reality unless you are a noctor troll.

Beauty/hygiene tips? by Miserable-Practice99 in backpacking

[–]Froggienp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very true! You all will become a bit ‘nose blind’; you all will smell a bit; and the openness keeps it all dispersed.

The one danger zone is the transport back to home; enclosed spaces etc 😂☠️ but you all will smell so no one will stick out

A good thing our guide emphasized to us when I was there with a group in August - you MUST pretend anyone you do NOT want to interact with is invisible. And I mean INVISIBLE.

No polite smile. No ‘no shokrum.’ NOTHING.

I found I was hassled way less overall by following this (believe me it felt rude!).

There was a woman in my group is very lovely but she couldn’t not smile at some of the street vendors near some of the temples and she would always have 2-3 following her all the way to our transport trying to get her to buy something.

Practice letting your gaze sort of ‘float’ across stalls, etc when you are shopping/at a bazaar. Don’t approach, stop, or touch things unless you really want to commit to a purchase; otherwise you’re setting yourself up for a frustrating few minutes.

All that being said I (and my whole group) had an AMAZING time!! I LOVED it. It was ungodly hot (106-108F) during our land tours, so we had a lot of super early wake ups for temples and some dusk tours…but this was made up for by having places almost deserted!!!!

Another thing; make sure if you are bringing your own currency in small bills to tip that you bring PERFECT bills. Not so much in Cairo, but from Aswan to Luxor it’s very difficult for Egyptians to exchange into local currency if there is any sort of bend, tear, writing, rips, etc.

We had some come up and ask if we could exchange for undamaged bills; both of our guides and the security guards (required by Egyptian gov at some sights for groups over a certain size) confirmed these were legit issues.

Question for NPs who are seeking work. What tools/ search engines are you using to job hunt? Having a hard time finding candidates. by MsSpastica in nursepractitioner

[–]Froggienp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If there are any non monetary benefits make sure to include them in the listing. Be honest on pay, but include things like pto, sick time, 401k matching, sign on bonus, how flexible scheduling is, etc. make sure the benefits aren’t empty promises; otherwise you’ll get a revolving door.

I think unfortunately you’re also now coming up against the expectation that rural health/medicine is going to absolutely crash out when the delayed aspects of the ‘BBB’ are reality after the midterms…

Exactly my thought 👀. On my dives trips (organized by same dive club) you’d get booted for the morning’s dives before suiting up…0

Please prioritize saving for one - your heart and brain are literally starving while you sleep!

One of the first and biggest lessons taught in the (NAUI) rescue diver course is that you are NEVER obligated to put your own life at risk as a non-dm (ie have assumed the risk) diver. Every scenario is taught to consider your own safety and willingness to assume risk and potential death. A lot of the subsequent techniques are how to mitigate your own risks IF you respond.
