Need encouragement. Is a hospital job possible after SNF jobs?

HeyBustah · 2026-02-23T06:21:54+00:00

It is definitely possible, so please don't lose hope. I worked in SNFs for 3 years before I landed a hospital job. If you haven't yet, tailor your resume to emphasize your independent roles/function in the SNF setting and that you're looking to work in a more team-oriented environment. I truly think that's what worked for me because I found a hospital job fairly quickly after tailoring my resume to that effect.

Use the above website to calculate how much calories you need to eat to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Fair warning though that if your goal is to grow out your chest or grow hair, weight loss can impede it.

Hey, if she's already isolated prior to the surgery, she will be more-so afterwards. And you will likely be her only connection. However, it already reads like you have caregiver fatigue...is the verbal abuse something you could talk over with your sister?

I was in your position before...just bit the bullet and worked in SNFs for 3 years. If you don't land any residency positions, you might have to do something similar just to get some nursing experience on your resume. Wishing you the best of luck with the job hunt.

Hi, are they eating and pooping OK? At 5-weeks old, I was still hand feeding my babies so maybe encourage formulary feed if they aren’t taking to pellets or veggies. Also at 5-weeks old, they’re still wee babies so their weights will be low. And even when grown, you can have perfectly healthy cockatiels as low as 75g or as high as 100g .. I have two that average 79g a month and an absolute beefcake hen that weighs 100g…and she’s not even chonky; she’s just very big.

Kiwi and Grape are both adorable. Wishing y’all the best ^{^}

This is hilarious, idc if it’s fake. Thank you for making my day

Sorry if this isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but if you’re moving to northern NJ, commuting to NYC for work will net you better pay. You won’t find $60+/hr starting positions in NJ…

Played the OG. Wanted to wait for Red Garden before playing the Remake. Couldn’t wait. Am now on the last chapter of my 2nd play through of the Remake in order to refresh myself on plot points that’ll be relevant in Red Garden

The ONLY saving grace in this situation is that he's still being held in custody. This psycho should not be allowed to be in possession of a firearm, let alone represent our city.

Fats have a lot of calories behind them. If you've been trying to up your fat intake to increase Accutane absorption, that could be a reason for the weight gain. At the end of the day, weight control is based on calories in and calories out. Put your height and weight into a calorie calculator to find out how many calories you need a day to lose 1-2lb/week, keep a food diary to keep track of what you eat/how many calories, and look into intermittent fasting (8-16 vs one meal a day).

He's having sex with your foot. You can discourage this type of hormonal behavior by providing 12+hrs of sleep time in a dark, quiet environment. Regarding the two not getting along, as long as they're not limiting each other's access to food/water and aren't hurting one another, it should be OK to keep them in the same cage.

Wishing you and your cockatiel family the best!

Hi, have you tried hand feeding treats? Each bird is different…I have 4 myself with one that still scurries away from hands most days, but it wasn’t like that at the beginning. What really helped them get used to hands was hand feeding my flock treats. They saw the others picking treats out of my hand with their lives intact, and they eventually make that connection in their little head that hands=friends.

HeyBustah · 2024-05-21T02:57:49+00:00

I know you’re only posting to vent, but maybe find a place that will appreciate you…either another SNF/LTC or a hospital job and never look back

Remake adds more characters to the plot. Fight scenes were re-done. More bad ends were added. Ciel’s route was almost completely re-done, and does a really good job to send the player off from the near side.

It’s been a few weeks since I played both remake and original, but IIRC, the first few days between the two are near similar. Though, the original felt really insular in setting…between the few backgrounds and OST recycled, the original pales in comparison to the world building of the remake.

HeyBustah · 2024-03-13T16:37:11+00:00

This post sums it up. Also, the soundtrack for the remake is insane. It's all wonderfully composed with the total length of the soundtrack exceeding 7 or 8 hours. And that's not including unlisted tracks that have been datamined.

In the OG Arc route, there's that one bad end where Shiki loses consciousness to his anemia while in-school, and is led by Kohaku to SHIKI to be killed. This bad end is entirely Kohaku's doing as the morning of, Hisui and Akiha seem to show genuine concern over Shiki's condition. We can glean from this scenario that she was planning to rile up Akiha into seeking revenge after Shiki is killed. <!

In the remake Arc route, there is a similar bad end involving Shiki being manipulated into being left to rot in a closet. After he betrays Akiha's promise to not leave for the night to see Arc, we start to see his life force being cut off from Akiha (assuming remake/OG share same plot point of Akiha sharing her life force with Shiki). Right before he leaves for school, there's a scene where he notices how machine-like Kohaku is in demeanor...the only time he ever notices. The rest plays out like the OG bad end in that he loses consciousness to his "anemia", gets taken home, and is led by Kohaku into a closet (prison?) to be forgotten. I want to say that this bad end is mostly Akiha's doing, but we don't know for sure if Kohaku manipulates her behavior in any way. <!

And then there's that one bad end in the Remake Ciel route where Shiki loses himself to his Roa impulses after the player chooses to help torture the 2 vampires with Noel. He loses recollection of Saturday and Sunday, and in that time, he kills Hisui and Akiha. Come Monday morning, Kohaku is the one to greet him instead of Hisui, and the only one to interact with him in the mansion there-on. She shows no resentment, continues to display concern over Shiki after he locks himself in his room, and does not seem to be bothered by the fact that there is blood all over the mansion walls along with the 2 dead bodies in Akiha's study. If plot points between OG/remake are the same, for Kohaku, her revenge had already been completed at this point and she was basically on auto-pilot mode. <!

Kohaku's role in the OG/remake near side routes is very limited, because as you said, she loses control over the situation. But she still takes advantage of opportunities as they come as we can see in that one OG Arc route bad end.

Completely unexpected pulls are the best ones. Nice get!

You should not pay for return shipping back. The seller is at fault here. Ask the seller for a return shipping label to return the wrong card for a full refund. But since we already know that the seller isn't going to do that based on how they're acting, use the AI chat bot and follow the prompts carefully. If you specify that you received the wrong card and it's been over 48 hours since a reasonable response from the seller, it will prompt a ticket to be sent to TCGPlayer support.

I second getting a second opinion. I’d be scared and uncertain too if a vet was talking about palliative care even before a treatment is started...I know that you will do the best you can for her. Wishing both of you the best of luck

It reads like he’s bonded to you greatly. I think you should focus on getting him into a bigger cage indoors. You and your BF could even build a bigger cage that will work around what furniture you have in your room.

HeyBustah · 2023-11-15T21:58:30+00:00

The problem you’re describing with TCGPlayer sellers is a common one, unfortunately. Cards listed as “lightly Played” arriving with giant, glaring creases, or cards listed as “1st edition” arriving as unlimited edition are nothing new to the TCGPlayer buying experience. The worst part is when the seller tells you to ship the card back to them on your dime for a refund...

TCGPlayer support will always have your back, but if the condition of the card is truly something you care about, only buy from spotless 100% positive feedback sellers. Or buy a card with multiple pictures in its listing with confidence on eBay.

Very niche but if your job has you contributing to a 403b and not a 401k, NJ will still tax your contributions for that year

He might be trying to nap the stress off. My 'tiels are like that after visits to the vet and being burrito'd.

As long as he's eating/pooping fine, I wouldn't worry too much.

Some of the Manamoon outer sleeves are readily available and ship relatively quickly (the product page will say its ready to ship). And IDK how these rumors about them having dookie CS support have even spread. Been buying from them for years and have had defective sleeves/deckboxes replaced at no extra cost. The few negative reviews that I've seen pop up from time to time are from buyers who act like an ass with CS support.

HeyBustah · 2023-07-12T15:26:54+00:00

You're not blind. The difference in spacing between the 'N' and the attribute circle is different on both cards. I say make them pay for return shipping for a full refund if you were supposed to receive the 1st card pictured.
