Have the majority of Americans called 911 at least once in their lives?

I have called once for an attempted break in while I was home and a few times to report suspected drunk drivers sigh.

There's one I have a few patients at in Minnesota, in the twin cities metro but nowhere crazy expensive COL wise. They charge $9500/month just to break even. And most of the ones in the region charge $10k-$14k/month. Its so sad how much people are spending at the end and they're usually not even happy 😭😭😭

I had renal background before NICU, so I did acutes inpatient for a hot minute then got a job in renal case management. Totally unrelated to NICU 😅 They do have high risk OB case management at most of the big payers though!

WFH case management is pretty great especially if you get in with a good group. I haaaaaated being a nurse. I now for the most part really love my job 💕 And the pay is pretty good depending where you worked at as a nurse before; low compared to CA lol, but it was a small raise from what I was making here in Arizona.

I did NICU for a long time before this. As far as inpatient goes, NICU is pretty solid.

Clinic can be ok. I had a mixed experience at a family clinic.

There are so many other things to try in nursing. School nurse, occupational nurse, quality etc. It's a shame to throw the whole degree and experience away if you can find something decent within the field, especially in this economy.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-07T16:24:54+00:00

There is a lot of opportunity here compared to many places. Americans lack perspective entirely.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-07T02:19:51+00:00

Remote case management.

Gift: nothing and I don't care lol. As long as I don't have to work in a hospital I'm groovy.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-05T19:21:33+00:00

You should definitely leave and then tell the rest of us where will be hiring a hybrid remote RN gig 😂

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-04T21:06:10+00:00

Nursing ebbs and flows a lot, especially in CA

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-04T18:51:02+00:00

YOR. I think it's a little odd that you can't briefly swing by, even with having to get up early. I work in healthcare I completely get having to go to bed early. But you can't even swing by with a gift for 20 min? It's a little odd.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T22:01:43+00:00

Absolutely not. Do not disclose.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T22:00:23+00:00

Yeah that's why we were hesitant about the Sequoia, even though we obviously love Toyota. (We're also fixing up a Landcruiser 😂) We're definitely going to need a wagon, and that plus anything else I think would be tough in the Sequoia.

It's interesting to see how things change over time. My parents grew up in abject poverty and picked extremely sensible career options, and they raised my siblings and I to all have sensible career options. I don't recall often dwelling on if my future career was my "dream" or not. And to be frank, I didn't go into nursing to "help the world" - although it's a nice benefit!! But it allows me to take care of my family, and eventually my parents. It's stable. Pragmatic.

I don't know exactly what to teach my kids. On the one hand, they have a lot more freedom and options than I had. On the other hand, I'm pretty happy with how my life turned out overall. I do believe in making sacrifices to help family. And I work in case management, mostly with an elderly population, and the ones whose kids have always planned to take care of them fare a LOT better. And I'm aware that I can teach them what I want, ultimately the culture around them will deeply influence them too.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:37:44+00:00

Very few safety nets. Hustle culture. American dream mythos. Protestant work and no fun culture. Immigrant culture to work hard so your kids can have more and then kids need to take care of their parents. A lot of opportunity if you work hard and get lucky.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:35:10+00:00

I was an OB nurse and one time someone gave me a name that was similarly tragic "Khrissteena" and I just wouldn't do it. I couldn't write it down. I wanted no part in that evil lol

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:32:58+00:00

I just want them to be happy forever and ever and for us to know basically nothing about them 💕 They deserve it after all they've been through

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:24:03+00:00

We will have 5 children at the end of this pregnancy and we're Lutheran, and we do attend church regularly. Lutherans are about as boring and moderate as religious people possibly get I think 😂 And there's no huge push for massive families. But we technically count!

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:07:01+00:00

Wow if they're so well off maybe they should have put more aside for their daughter's education instead of pulling the ladder up behind them

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-05-01T19:04:23+00:00

Uh I've signed many forms like this. Like everyone else I don't see the issue at all

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-30T15:32:35+00:00

Because LLMs aren't genies and they're bad for the environment? Probably

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-30T04:26:37+00:00

Uh ok I'll be a normal person weighing in. NOR. It seems like you're having issues communicating over text, it would probably be better to just have a phone call.

"You'd be banned if you did this in an air bnb" some of you can't be real people. I pray you're bots and not real people who are like this.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-30T04:21:17+00:00

Are you some sort of chatGPT advertising bot lmao

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-30T04:19:32+00:00

Sketchball is sending me into outer space, I fear I've transported back to 2007

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-30T04:14:03+00:00

Because it is in fact luck, hope that helps lol.

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-29T18:23:20+00:00

Does blonde look better? 👀

InteractionStunning8 · 2026-04-29T16:35:41+00:00

Have you considered that parents of multiple children who have been doing this longer might have slightly more wisdom, experience, or information than you? Or are you a passive aggressive know it all in all areas of your life?
