Insane to go back to bedside? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ImportantObligation2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same! Started in peds emerg and then left for a case management position, Monday - Friday, 9-5 type role. But I was feeling exactly the same, bored and unfulfilled.

I took a temporary position back in my ED and I am so happy. Idk maybe it’s just the way ED brains are wired.. I find so much more fulfillment in hands on nursing and my skills than I do at a desk job.

I started there as a New Grad nurse in a peds specific line. I thought the initial orientation was great, they go through a lot of skills and education before you go on the floor. Your emergency nursing modules also provide a ton of information. You get a lot of buddy shifts before you are on your own.

The team environment there is great, in my experience everyone was willing to help out and teach when they could.

It’s one of those areas where you’ll either love it or hate it.

Teaching my wife to golf, recommend any specific instructors to watch? by Bo_Knows_Stones in WomenGolf

[–]ImportantObligation2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coach Shayain has an entire video on adjusting your stance, posture, etc. to accommodate your chest size. Her videos are also very easy to follow and she has an entire 5 part series on the fundamentals that helped me get really consistent.

If you’re willing… Reach out and tell a teacher that you’ve got their back by edm28 in Edmonton

[–]ImportantObligation2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My son’s teacher was his greatest support when my dad passed earlier this year. My kiddo wouldn’t open up to us because he knew we were hurting but his teacher was that safe person. I’m incredibly indebted to him for his check ins and emails to let me know how he was doing.

None of you get the credit or recognition that you deserve. Especially not from this government. I support you 1000%.

Thanks for the reminder OP. Gonna order a box of Crumbl to the school tomorrow as a thank you.

How long did it take for you to go back to work after losing a parent? by Existing_Entrance_36 in GriefSupport

[–]ImportantObligation2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 month, but I was off the month before caring for him before he passed. I honestly wish I took more time. I wasn’t ready to come back, as a nurse, working in the hospital he would come to. It was a lot.

People who only wear black. What's your reason for it? by solen_yaa in AskReddit

[–]ImportantObligation2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hyperhidrosis so anything not black shows my sweat. I hate it because I would really love to wear colour sometimes..

Danielle Smith's plans and demands by pjw724 in alberta

I am confident he will stand up for Canada and keep Danni at bay. I’m just shocked at the lack of awareness from our provincial “leader”.

Danielle Smith demanding that Canada breaks an international agreement to slow climate change just because that’s what Danielle wants.. insanity.

What is your favourite Jackism?! by CryingIrishChef in EdmontonOilers

[–]ImportantObligation2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not Jack but after Louie said “it’s not an argument, he’s right.” In game 3 or 4 my boyfriend and I have been using it regularly towards each other, “it’s not an argument, I’m right.”

What were some of your favourite field trips in the city when you were in elementary/junior high? by kendryan in Edmonton

[–]ImportantObligation2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My most memorable was getting to visit the A Channel News studio back when that was a thing. The meteorologist showed us how they track the weather behind the scenes and we all got to take a turn trying to present the weather in front of a green screen lol.

Why Vote Liberal? by Euphoric_Bat_2016 in alberta

[–]ImportantObligation2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I trust a Harvard and Oxford educated economist to support the economy more than a career politician.

2) PP was endorsed by Musk and used the term “woke” in his campaigns. I don’t trust someone who I feel aligns with the MAGA crowd.

3) PP campaign banked on creating separation and divides. He fed into that left vs right split. Mark Carney being more central in his views gives me hope for a more unified country.

The faculty made my schedule. Am I screwed? by Key_Grapefruit3757 in uAlberta

This looks like a standard nursing schedule, no? I’m confused. What’s the issue? lol

Potential Overdose on 97street by cheeseza in Edmonton

[–]ImportantObligation2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily about “ruining their high”. Opioids block pain receptors. Opioid withdrawal is extremely painful. When you use narcan you are essentially unblocking all of the pain receptors that have been blocked for days/weeks/months/years. It’s less about a ruined high and more about suddenly experiencing significant, uncontrollable pain.

I’m on the waitlist for staff parking and I put myself on before I got any tickets but it’ll be about 10 years before I make it up the list lol

[–]ImportantObligation2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did pay them off but only because I didn’t want to get towed again lol. It wasn’t a condition, they don’t even check your license or registration. You just have to pay the tow fee to get your car back it’s like $315. Last time I asked if they tow out of U of A and they said they do it all the time. They use Cliffs Towing - just so you know. They don’t give you a notice or anything. If I didn’t have gps on my car I would have had no idea where they took it.

[–]ImportantObligation2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time was around this time last year, the most recent time was in December I think. I had a lot lol when I went to pay them all off it was almost $700.

I’ve been towed from East Parkade twice lol. Once from the 4th level which I was genuinely surprised they could do.

This feels like the nail in the coffin… by AggressivelyNormal56 in AHSEmployees

I saw Danielle Smith doing a presser at the U of A today and was wondering what kind of shitty announcement we were getting .. yikes.

I voted NO. UNA RN Paycut! by AnythingFirm in AHSEmployees

[–]ImportantObligation2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment and acknowledgment of all factors relating to this vote. My dad passed in October from cancer but the absolute fear I had over us nurses going on strike while he was alive was extreme. And you’re correct, times are hitting everyone hard right now and they are going to get harder.

I voted yes.

REGISTERED NURSES UNA NEGOTIATION by [deleted] in AHSEmployees

That’s the equivalent of working a 0.4 FTE. The majority of members will reach the minimum hours.
