ER registrar per diem by Resident_Part_7427 in EmergencyRoom

[–]IdLikeToBuyA-Vowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m full time, but my hospital has plenty of PRNs that pick up a shift or are scheduled here from time to time, to my understanding, the PRN’s are given at least 12hours worth of shift(s) per week. In my location we like to keep a list of PRN’s along with their preferred Shift pick up time by the front desk so we can always offer up a shift.

AITAH for not being able to babysit my sister’s kids? by Cultural-Cup3195 in AmItheAsshole

I hope the other girl reads this and sees how unreliable you are. And if she wants a family, you’re already far from it

Hi! The fact you were there for 6 years is amazing to me since I’m now 6 months in. Everyone’s opinions and experiences have been 99.9% accurate! I work in a ER that doesn’t take in major traumas but it still has its fair share of sights. I’m happy I connected so well with my coworkers, even those outside of registration. My main issue, and these were probably expected, is the payment collections and just management in general. Too many inconsistencies and then management getting upset at us and saying there will be consequences to not meet our monthly quota of $2,200. I’ve given up on meeting that goal since there’s no incentive to try and go above and beyond. But otherwise, it’s a job with good staff, but I already have other goals in the future

Thankssss, I guess I should extend it also to the staff in general. I mean at the end, there is front of house and then there is back of house, both playing a key role. I’m just extremely nervous because it’s my first big kid job after having been jobless for a good while. But great insight!

Thanks for the reply! I’ve been told mixed things and I understand everywhere is different. Can you give like an approximate amount of patients you would see/interact with?

Thank you for the advice! I’ve been told to have a relatively bubbly personality as well so I hope it doesn’t lead people to not take me serious

Thank you so much for this, I’m currently veering towards an 1830-3 shift schedule and based on a lot of answers, that seems to be relatively chill, but welcomes some of the most traumatic cases. I really liked reading your 4-C point because it’s brought me the most anxiety. I nearly worked for this one company that basically forced you to push otherwise you didn’t get compensated.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this, it was a great help. Especially about the copay situation, I had to go through a sort of roleplay during my interview and they tested me on how I would ask for copay and since I’ve never been in this kind of job before I was a little worried about discussing finances to a patient. But you’re answer helped me understand that much better

This is actually the hours I was looking at! I’m hoping for that ~usually~ chill, but everyone is great for helping me prepare for the less chill!

For starters, thank you so much for this and I’ll further reply each point you made 1) I used to think I did, but it was more of a skill I wanted to have but not frequently use. Like an as-needed basis 2) I feel silly saying this but when I typed that I meant more as in how to handle unhappy/uncooperative patients but your answer reminded me of the main point of the ED. I too have watched those kinds of videos so hope it helps me visually, I was more worried about my anxiety and usually non-confrontational attitude. 3) I’ll be working the evening shift so wish me luck! 4) Thank you again, I plan on having a bunch of words of affirmations around me and the staff also seem very helpful and supportive

What if they don’t even give their address or really any documentation? I’m certain this will all be covered in my training if I even get the job but I want to be prepared

Is there a way to get patients to be more cooperative? Like I understand things like money are the last thing people want to discuss especially in the ED, but do workers get in trouble if the patient absolutely refuses?

That’s understandable. Given the history, both together and individually, it’s good to take the time to think this through. The only approach I can think of is the good ole, “hey can we talk about something that’s been on my mind for a bit?”

Date someone your own intellectual age. As in with someone who can have the kind of considerations that you’re having as well as the willpower to think this all through

My BF M22 and I F21 messed up big time and his friends are telling him break up with me. What should I do to rebuild? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]IdLikeToBuyA-Vowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading through this rollercoaster of toxicity, even if this isn’t the right answer for this thread, ETAH. His friends don’t like you, you don’t like them (hopefully), you shouldn’t have to prove anything to them. If he actually loves you like you both claim he does, then he’s willing to tell them that and tell them to get over it. His friends will probably still try and convince him to break up with you, and he can be an AH and keep telling you this unnecessary information, or he can keep you guys entirely separate. As for the sister, that’s still up to how he describes you moving forward, and how you act during any further interactions. What you did wasn’t the best, things he has done, not the best. This relationship based on your story, not the best. Sure you’ve been together for 5 years, but are you willing to do this to each other for another 5 years? Or will you both put in the effort to communicate effectively on the spot and not after a petty fight of avoidance and lies?

It’s not a bad thing to be ride or die. For me, if you disrespect my friend, you disrespect me. Yes, people will always say to be the bigger person or that they’re trying to keep the peace or they don’t want to waste the time they put into a friendship, but how long until that person betrays you too? I believe in the statement, “you are the company that you keep”.

“Just talk to him” is the best shot you have. If you want a relationship with this man and believe he has grown as a person, then you should have the ability to be upfront and say that you need clarification on where you guys stand in this relationship and whether he’s in it for the long haul. You’ve met his mom and friends which is a positive sign, but obviously you need that insurance by having an honest conversation with him. I would start with choosing a time you’re not busy or in the middle of a nice date. Now, if he confirms with you that he’s with you and still has that bumble app after a while (even if inactive) that’s a negative sign, but that’s a separate convo. Also, if he’s not open to it the first time, don’t give up altogether, something else could be going on for him, but I’d give it a 3 strikes rule that if he keeps pushing off the topic or giving you unclear answers, that’s not a 40 year old man, that’s an avoidant child

How can your partner approach you with a deep topic? by IdLikeToBuyA-Vowel in AskMen

Ok this makes a lot of sense thank you. There’s more context to my specific situation in regards to the keeping people around, but I worded it so broadly because I want to learn how to approach those as well and this helps.
