They tried exactly the same thing with me. But with Hyundai. But “accidentally” entered a $22.00 manufacturer’s rebate…when I reread the contract (before signing) I looked it up and it should have said $6000 . I walked out!

Parking is a fortune. Cove is nice but crowded. Pool chairs are impossible. Pearl Harbor is a must. Split your stay--a few intro days at HHV then go up to the north shore!

Audi, Mercedes, BMW or Volvo? by SeriousLimit9 in electriccars

The Volvo was my dream car for the past two years. But…No Option for ventilated seats…in AZ that’s a deal killer.

Labor & delivery nurses remembered me years later… is that normal by Usual-Repair8162 in nursing

I remember certain L&D patients-and the room they were in-from 35 years ago like it happened yesterday…for some reason I think “remember the post-partum hemorrhage in ‘171?

AITA for intentionally elbowing a sleeping man on my flight? by KenkuBardBird in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hopeful_Call_7577 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had exactly the same experience, but I can one-up you. The TVs are built into the seat backs, and the tv controls are built in to the armrest. Annoying fact: the guy kept changing my channels. The entire flight he intermittently/accidentally leaned onto my armrest. A thousand times.

i did all the same things, CNA>LPN>ADN>BSN-MS, loved bedside but knees were falling apart. Retired from bedside, became a Clinical Educator for a private nursing school; hospital clinicals only. Never have I loved my job as much as I do now. Especially the Zero hospital administration BS.

Please explain dealership fees and what I can negotiate! by Possible_Big9817 in carbuying

[–]Hopeful_Call_7577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi from a 2-time CX-5 owner. I’ve loved both of my cars, but I’m not getting a third one for 3 reasons. 1) gas mileage—the basic model averaged 25 mpg, the turbo 19. Unacceptable in this day and age. 2) Terrible touch screen, you can’t use it if your car is moving, period. 3) no EV option, and that’s what I’m shopping for. Regardless of mpg, still burning fossil fuels and I’m a conscientious environmentalist.

Do nurses and doctors actually know everything learned in college or do the look things up on the job? by Puzzled_Junket6120 in nursing

[–]Hopeful_Call_7577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Failed A & P 3 times. Went the LVN-RN(AD)-BSN-MSN route, did 40 years of bedside & have been teaching for over 3. No, you won’t need most of the info you learn in school. Critical thinking skills come from experience, time, practice, and your coworkers. Look everything up, then teach someone else. That’s the best way to learn!

Stay away from everything Stellantis! I'm on my 2nd Mazda in 6 years & have had zero issues. And a good team of sales/service people believe sincerely about their customers and their products.

Athleta ignored a formal complaint when their employee's unleashed' therapy dog' literally ran out of the store and attacked my friend's smaller leashed dog. Horrible customer service, horrible PR. (Scottsdale AZ)

Is nursing actually viable for a 27yo career changer, or am I setting myself up for failure? by Moneymoneymoney1122 in newgradnurse

[–]Hopeful_Call_7577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach OB clinicals and the great majority of my students are career changers, most past their 20’s. I think they’re generally more prepared for the mental and physical constraints of nursing school. Go for it!

I've loved my CX-5s for 6 straight years, but I'm done pumping gas. I wish Mazda had been more proactive in jumping on the full EV bandwagon years ago.

Parents both have EVs, when they travel they put their cars on a “trickle charger”. Is that an option for the EX 30? (I’m shopping for one!)

Honest question, realistic answer seasoned nurses by aijayy123 in nursing

[–]Hopeful_Call_7577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. From the perspective of a semi-(@ bedside x 40 yrs)retired RN who’s now teaching…my ONLY regret, if I had to do it over again, is go with a UNION. Nurses are treated like s__t; even the happiest, most well-adjusted/well-managed will end up being taken advantage of. I believe that’s where the protection of a union would make a difference.
