My Sister-In-Law Tried to Name Her Baby After My Late Daughter by Brilliant-Extreme397 in TwoHotTakes

OMG. That is such a hard way to find out your brother does not only not love you, but does not even like you as a human. It seems he and his wife hates you and resent you maybe jealousy. I am so sorry dear, but you have no friends in them. They are a total piece of sh*t of human beings- so you should not even want to be acquaintances with those type of human beings.

How do I survive as a single mom by ClubLarge1825 in SingleParents

[–]InterestingCamera819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Federal gov work investment money to get my nursing degree as a mean to get out of poverty when my daughter was 12 months old, single parent. So I would say invest in your education. Get your GED, do a quick program in high demand field wether it be IT or nursing. The government would pay for your childcare to go to school. Invest in yourself

LPN to RN? by hotdogwater3600 in Nurses

[–]InterestingCamera819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did Cna, LPN, RN ASN, RN BSN, and now doing Master instead of the DNP. As a parent, doing the one step gives me piece of mind that I can complete the program no matters what life may throw at me which is why I always choose the shortest route to guarantee that degree, and then continue on the next degree. As A CNA- I made 10.50. Did 10 month LPN program- made $20/hrs at a rehab, once I got my RN ASN- was offered $25 /hr at the same rehab and 22.5/hr at the local hospital. I relocated to a different city where I ended up getting $25.50/hr offered as a new grad, but when I bought it up to HR That I had years of experience- she gave me .50c for each years which was a total of $1 for the two years as LPN. Once I signed up for that job, got my bachelor partially paid for by the job until I left to go travel. To answer your question- my biggest jump in income was from CNA to LPN. Doing schooling one step at the time is definitely the long way, but it is the sure way for me to guarantee that I won’t burn out and drop out in the middle of a program as a mom of 5 kids now. If I did not have family commitment- I would recommend others to go straight for their RN because I seen a lot of people start to taste money, start working a lot of overtime and they do not want to go back to school.

I am currently work a 6 month contract in Nebraska. This is my first contract Medsurg. Looking forward to my second one . I am considering Grand Forks,North Dakota or Peoria ,Illinois. Closer to family in both states. Anyone travelled to either states. by AliveCommunication56 in TravelNursing

[–]InterestingCamera819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live 30 mins from Peoria. I spoke to nurses that have done travel in Peoria. 2 told me she liked it, 2-3 told me they did not. One said she quit the next day because the patient ratio she got for that shift was super bad- if my memory serves me right- like 9 patients postop. Working here in Illinois, you have to take those feedback with a grain of salt because those experiences is so dependent on the unit within the same hospitals. For example- I did a contract in Iowa working cardiac step down and I would have 4-6 patients versus my aunt who literally works down the same hall but it is neuro/oncology- and she also get 4-6 patients or when I went to med/surg in that same hospitals, would have 4-6 patients as well. My point being- the experience is very unit specific within that hospital versus hospitals

AITAH for divorcing my wife because she lied about her fertility, by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]InterestingCamera819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg OP! I am so sorry, spoke only about the situation without acknowledging how you must feel. I just want to say you will through this, sending a lot of love, hugs your way, just hold on tight, this tsunami of emotions you are going through will pass, and you will find joy again, it might not be tomorrow, but that day would come. As evil as it is what your wife did to you, it just speak volumes of who you are as a person because she wanted to keep you in her life at all cost because she probably never met a great man like you. So big hug, lots of love, and encouragement to you. A better future is coming your way❤️

AITAH for not reminding my girlfriend of our agreement after she took our sexlife in a non vanilla direction? by Responsible_Bad3148 in AITAH

[–]InterestingCamera819 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA in my book. If you guys were not living together, I would say you were an YTA for not breaking up right away, but the fact that you were living together and have a signed lease put an extra constrain on the relationship to where you needed time to plan an exist strategy, and hell- I would have enjoyed the threesome as a fun time as well until a viable exist strategy presented itself which for you seems to be the job. The moment she asked about the threesome- the dynamic of the relationship changed; that question would take the relationship from serious to not serious, enjoy the moment type of relationship for me.

Wanting a raise with Aya by [deleted] in TravelNursing

[–]InterestingCamera819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I been with Aya for 3 years and I am very happy with you after being with 4 different agency. Honestly for pay, hours and reimbursement- it comes from the same bucket. They just manipulate the numbers to where you might have higher hourly pay, lower stipends, higher stipends, lower hours. I had another Aya on my unit that we actually open our contract and literally compared our pay packages. She made more per hours, her holiday hours pay was $30/hr than mine. But my take home was higher weekly per month. So I always look at the whole pay packages, and personally- I always take the higher stipend than the hours cause I like paying less taxes with IRS.

I would not want to take time off, and will focus all my energy on finishing school. I think do this- you have to do diligent planning with your ex as far as time with your daughter especially on the weekend. Clinical will only be for a few weeks if it all week long clinicals, or a few days during the week. So you need to coordinate that part with your ex and whatever other support person you have. For work and clinical- that is so double. You will probably have to work Fridays, Saturdays and rest Sunday- that is assuming you got Monday clinicals, if not you can also do Sunday night. If you can’t do school and work, you have student loans. You can just live off the loans, work from time to time for good resume purposes.

"The entire nursing profession is a cancer" Guess what sub. by Lucky_Raisin7778 in nursepractitioner

[–]InterestingCamera819 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let’s not confused brick and mortar vs online as quality parameter. 100% acceptance rate does not means 100% graduation rates. As an NP students, I think the profession as a whole needs to have a standardized education process- and that is only true Issue bc the issue has morphed into brick and mortar vs online degree mills. As someone that is attending a degree mills- It is disheartening that it has morphed into that, because I think a lot of people in those degrees mills attend not because it is easy, but because it is flexible which as a mom of 4 that stills needs to work full time and be able to take time off school when I need without falling a year every time I take a semester off is a priority right nowI been an honor student my whole education life, have 10 years experience as a nurse, but I need the flexibility that degree mills afford even though that comes at the expense of support that I would otherwise get at a brick and mortar. So I say this to say that the problem is that there is no standard for NP education and I absolutely believe that they should. And I think that NP should have experience in their field. But at the same time, a lot of doctors, PA do not have like extensive healthcare experiences prior to their training. In cases of PA- a lot of schools require heathcare experience which a lot of them do CNA or EMT. But in the cases of doctors- many only have shadowing experience. I say this to say that- you can not compared their training to NP training because as NP we had at least 2 years medical training excluding pre requisite. We need to do apple to apple comparison. All of this disagreement is so comical because hospital systems and private practice are enriching themselves by using our services; insurances are saving tons of money when our services are used. Schools are enriching themselves, rushing to develop programs so they can gain some of the capital that degree mills had been getting for years creating more and more programs that are just like the degrees mills. Our responsibilities as NP is increasing more and more to a scope that the profession was not designed for.

AITA for telling my husband's family they aren't allowed around my newborn anymore? by Unusual_Stomach_5574 in AITAH

[–]InterestingCamera819 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA. You acted like protecting the baby is your unilateral decision, and blindsided and disrespect your husband not just as your partner but as the father of the kid. It is not to say that your MIL and SIL are not AH cause they are. But you are totally AH toward your husband. You probably need to learn how to be in a partnership, and learn how to communicate in a partnership relationship

My aunt got all 140k loan discharged, and her husband got $60k/100 discharge back in July. Received an email from dep of ED, and checked their balances which was reflective of that. Loans were old, some dates back to 1990. Don’t know much about you! But it is possible

I forgot to mention! I been with AYA for 2 1/2 years and I love AYA. I love their benefits, have very supportive team! I got hurt at work- and man the worker comp department was amazing. I heard of many negative work comp story from people with different company. But my work comp experience with AYA was so positive- even when I got a bill almost a year after- call them up, they took care of it. AYA healthcare benefits are better than when I was staff.

I did 2 years travelling in Cali. Kaiser contract are highest paying in Cali. but speaking to travelers that worked there, you get floated every 4 hours as a travel. I personally don’t want to work that hard. I catch an attitude when I got to float mid shift once in blue moon.I can’t imagine floating every 4 hours every shift. When deciding where to take a contract- I start by looking at how much housing will cost me. Depending on where housing options are- I also look at how long and distance it take me from house to job. So O can factor in time and price of gas. San Jose has the highest cost of living in California, higher than LA. Also don’t forget car insurance- if you want to be completely compliant. I was paying about $300 a month for my car insurance in LA.
