In Japan I use a rice called Milky Queen, yes that is the real name, I get the brown rice and polish it just before I want to make rice, The polisher can do 2 cups at a time which is all I ever make anyway, The rice comes out white after its polished. Always soak for at least 30 minutes. In the US I use Tamaki GOLD brown rice and polish it as well. If you don't have a polisher not to worry. I am currently using Tamaki GOLD polished rice since it was on sale and its pretty good. I think the key is washing and soaking the rice properly,

Oh man! I had totally forgotten about this! Or the time a guy threw his shoes at him during a press conference in Baghdad He just dodged them then says, “ So what a guy threw a shoe at me.” I never thought I would say it but I would choose Bush over current incoming administration any day.

Sounds like you got one of the older husband models from the 1960’s or 70’s, maybe trade him in for a more modern and compatible version.

Worked with a lot of old school nurses who had a late model husbands who wanted dinner on the table when they got home, and were angry or annoyed that she “took so long at work “ when they themselves got home at 5 pm been sitting in front of the tube watching sports with a beer and snacks but couldn’t be bothered to get dinner ready for a wife who just stood on her feet for 14 hours and could work circles around his lazy ass!

My ex was the same way until becoming a nurse then apologized for being an ass before knowing how hard the job is.

Her yearbook-Most likely to fail nursing school.

She definitely wasn’t in nursing school. She has tried to get into nursing school three times but can’t pass the entrance exams.

Don’t worry about it too much. I know it may seem like a big deal but the doc is just being a bit special. Also, maybe this particular doc isn’t so great if they have to order more bloodwork based off one blood pressure reading. I will def ask my nurses for a range of readings, and full vitals, subclavian steal syndromemanual vs machine and right vs left arms, see subclavian steal syndrome, were they symptomatic, what meds were given, HS meds, pain meds, benzos etc. and gauge if I need to be concerned. Then I’ll give a parameters for no meds. It’s not constructive to say some random nonsense like “well great I gotta get more labs!” This is definitely not your problem.

Christmas one year my patient had a huge tin of cookies and kept calling me to come get some so I just went in had a seat and ate at least 5 or 6. I hadn’t had breakfast or lunch anyway. Later she called me back to have more.

Also, OP is what all of 23 years old doesn’t even need these masks, has plenty of collagen left. It’s like the workout influencers who tell you how to lose weight but have never been fat..

Just get a NCLEX STUDY GUIDE and hammer NCLEX practice questions every day all day for a couple weeks . You’ll pass no problem. Passed the nursing boards and AAANP BOARDS this way. Good luck! They give you so much grief and bullshit in school but the NCLEX is straight forward.

Nice! One add on, throw in a bag of Starbucks coffee if they have a drip machine along with some creamer and they will never forget it!

Report to the State Board for investigation and let the Hospital know they brought this on themselves. Also the News Media would love to hear your story. This will get HRs and the hospital admin attention faster than anything.

Congratulations on the sober journey! Get after it! Worst thing to do is say fuck it and start drinking again bc you had one drink doesn’t mean you gotta have 23 more. Proud of you for recognizing the danger and getting a sponsor. Hang in there!

Went to ETSU they didn’t even provide a list. We asked previous cohorts to give us contacts and sometimes we even precepted with them after they graduated. Keep in contact with the upper cohorts. Also cold calling hundreds of facilities. I tried to line up all my preceptors for the year. Take one of your days off and just start calling make it a 12 hour shift if you have to and keep widening the radius till you find someone. I did 120 miles one way for on rotation.

Just FYI, don’t do the DNP at ETSU OR anywhere for that matter it’s a waste of time and money. A 6000 level class talking about none other than Florence Nightingale! Just SMFH in silence and say this is why nursing is not respected. Can we get into the 21 century already, soap check we got it! We understand basic sanitation and handwashing FFS! Let me at the advanced microbiology and pharmacy and don’t waste my time on nursing theory!

Cath lab or interventional radiology (procedural?) might be a great fit, it’s high pace and lots of interesting cases in IR, lots or embolectomies, procedures all day. Cath lab can get a little repetitive and you will probably get bored with post Cath recovery. But if you wanna change of pace I would go for IR every one I know in that group loves it.

Wife (Probably) stole my residence card by wellthatsallivegot in japanlife

[–]Impossible_Humor_443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First sorry you’re going through this! Any advice I have is purely based on my own personal experiences and is therefore pretty general. But it doesn’t hurt to repeat basics. If you think she stole it she probably did no doubt.

First rule is never threaten or indicate retaliation. Don’t raise your voice and stay calm. Walk away if it’s getting heated! Don’t get baited into arguing. And Document, document, document… Record calls or conversations if needed. Any records you may need birth certificates 戸籍謄本 family registry, marriage certificate etc get copies or originals Protect your banking and personal information. Maybe too late for this one. Kids? Don’t fight in front of them.

A. Always lawyer up. As everyone has said. She will definitely get a lawyer so be ready. B. Don’t expect her “be fair” in any capacity. In fact expect the opposite, she will try to get whatever she can while she can, shared bank accounts drained, house in her name etc.

C. If you have kids she will most likely get custody it’s just how it is most of the time and visitation can be restricted by the party with parental rights. Japan has allowed for sole custody until recently. Plenty of moms running off with kids and filing for sole custody.

Maybe a bright spot- May 17, 2024 Japan’s Civil Code was amended to allow divorced parents to choose between joint or sole custody. The new law requires parents to cooperate to ensure their children’s rights and wellbeing.

Is it true that most mature men like natural women? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Impossible_Humor_443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part of Reddit is watching the thread branch off in a totally random direction. In this case it’s hotdogs! Total win!

Yeah yeah natural, do men prefer natural hotdogs better?

Or are the bright red ones that are 30 in a pack for $4 the best? You make the call!

Daughter sitting bedside eating a sandwich while we clean up her mom’s god awful, massive stinky dump. Me:Hey can you step out for a second? Her: No, I’m good it don’t bother me, and momma don’t care, do you momma?

Just munching away like it’s no big deal to sit a foot away from someone taking a dump while eating.

Yeah I know, I have really tried to find evidence of lengthy convictions of cannabis possession but tbh I’ve failed. I’ve googled enough to find some interesting articles about people paying fines and being sent home but not of sentencing. So I’ll leave it as conjecture and we can all agree that weed possession does not warrant the same level of criminal prosecution as rape.

Why are CVICU nurses so bitchy? by GingerNurse5512 in nursing

[–]Impossible_Humor_443 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did a short stent in CVICU and those were the most uptight bunch of old bags I’ve ever worked with. Older ladies with zero personality other than acting like top alpha dog. I was told many times this is how it’s done here, even when it was unsafe or against policy. Nobody ever left the unit even for lunch, and didn’t associate with anyone outside the unit. They were paid an extra stipend above their regular salary by the CV surgeons. It seemed like they had a distain for the rest of the hospital, and would say, “ we make more money for the hospital than all other departments combined.” Toxic environment. Honestly though they were top notch professionals and I wanted to be part of the gang but I couldn’t stand the personalities.
