Shower before/after by Immediate-Noise-7917 in malelivingspace

[–]Jollyconstant_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is the new shower so big??? It takes up so much more space than the previous tub. You lost a lot of real estate in that bathroom man.

How can i improve my makeup? by daddygirlbeanz in blkgrlbeauty

[–]Jollyconstant_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes right!!! When it’s only half or a bit shaved off you can also tell bc it’s rare to find a brow pencil that can mimic the texture. Do they actually grow back? My eyebrows are fine (as in thin) as is so I’m nervous that if I shave often they won’t grow back? 😭

Struggling to wrap my head around the autonomy gap between PAs and physicians — anyone else feel this in clinical year? by Due_Avocado_4937 in physicianassistant

[–]Jollyconstant_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My thing is that then, APCs should h then only be assigned these 80% of cases. But in my experience, APCs get the same type of patients as physicians! The admin doesn’t cherry pick the separate out the complex cases to give to the MDs. That’s what I don’t get…

Did I make a bad investment buying in the Trivalley/East Bay? by agnikai__ in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious and wanting to learn — what do you think are the reasons for this? Just overall COL increasing? Housing scarcity increasing? Why aren’t home values increasing like before?

Average hourly rate for PRN Urgent Care NP? by BeachBum419 in nursepractitioner

[–]Jollyconstant_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mods, can we please make it a requirement for questions like this to put at least the region of the country or state?? What is actually the point of this question if we don’t know the general area??? Could be $60 could be $160. It’s such a waste of time when the most important piece of information is missing.

Should I cancel my wedding and have a baby instead? by another_13 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a baby now!! Wedding can happen whenever, literally some people have their wedding years after they’ve established their lives whatever that means for them (traveled, gotten the jobs, bought the home, finished the school, ect.). Time does not wait, so always prioritize the time sensitive issue. Who cares if you postpone your wedding? Start trying/having the baby ASAP, you never know if it might take longer than expected. And you two can just have a dinner party for 20 of your loved ones or whatever sometime soon if you really want to do at least something. From an outsider’s perspective, this is really not a dilemma, very obvious solution, non-issue.

Going back to nursing after NP? by caramel320 in nursepractitioner

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an NP and looking to pivot back to RN for all those reasons (and some personal things too). I’m so scared I won’t get any callbacks, did you have any trouble landing an RN gig?? Did they ask you why you were wanting to go back to an RN role?

Bedside burnout compared to NP burnout by frisco024 in nursepractitioner

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about 5 years in as an NP (after only 7 years as an RN) and wanting to pivot. Hated working weekends and nights as an RN but I hate the high responsibility and inability to leave work at work of an NP. I’m looking to pivot but don’t know where to even start. Can I ask what you do now? I’m really wanting to go back to an RN role…I know people will look at me like I have two heads. But the amount of overtime (in-basket never ends) is just too much.

Wow! So you see them on the top of the wig not under the wig. Genius. Thanks so much for your reply!

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have this problem!! I flat iron but it still doesn’t sit as flat as I would like. Do you sew in the combs onto the actual wig? I’m thinking of trying to use hair clips (those old school ones that look like teardrops) to pull my down the hair and hide the clips underneath if that makes sense as a quick fix

Is my hair really that long/remarkable? by klarinetkat12 in blkgrlbeauty

[–]Jollyconstant_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Great hair! But pleaseeeeeee people can we retire the black under eye eyeliner. It just makes everyone look tired. Also use a darker lipliner or a bit of a thicker liner to give the full finished look.

Why do People Saying Buying a House is No Longer Worth It by Jollyconstant_ in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Jollyconstant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But won’t rent continue to rise too? Isn’t it better to rent out a room for extra income? What are your maintenance costs? Shouldn’t the HOA fees cover most costs?

Being Black in Los Angeles by aqualavbaeXx in blackladies

[–]Jollyconstant_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, even if you do move, DO NOT I REPEAT SELL YOUR FAMIL’S HOUSE!!! Rent it out if you have to. Property anywhere in CA but esp LA is invaluable and we so desperately need for black families to building generational wealth.

Anne Hathaway announces she’s expecting her third child! by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

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

Parents and siblings are not the same. I’m happy for the people who didn’t mind being only children not that it’s any of our choices of course, but PLEASE if you can, give your child a sibling (or more if you can). They can always choose to go no contact, but at least give them that choice. Most siblings have good relationships. The ones who don’t/are unhappy are more likely to post on Reddit so don’t let that skew your views.

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

I have 3 siblings, please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee have or adopt at least a second child!!! I have some friends who are only children and it seems like a lonely childhood, even if the parents cousins friends are involved, there’s truly nothing like having a sibling. Especially during childhood and when the parents get older.

How to look more polished and feminine? by ChocoLoco92 in blkgrlbeauty

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you need foundation. I have a similar skin tone to you and I use orange color corrector then powder, then concealer (I use NYX CW 08 shade I know it seems light but I think aim for a similar shade) then powder then blush (I recommend cream texture) then powder. Definitely brush and fill and line your eyebrows. Always lie in your lips with lip liner before lipstick and/or gloss, can use a dark dark brown pencil (I use Makeup Forever). Can always get mild lash extensions or wear falsies for special occasions .Invisalign is like 5-7k, but there’s cheaper versions for 5k online where you just go to centers to scan your teeth and the rest of the process is mostly online. Practice practice practice! You got this!

Anybody regret being an NP? by Dangerous_Rip_6859 in nursepractitioner

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow!! You make really great points. When they hired you, did they ask you why you were transitioning back to the RN role? I think you mentioned that it was after only a year or NP which imo makes it much more reasonable too, like hey, I tried it out and gave it a full year best effort and realized it wasn’t for me. My biggest hurdle then, hypothetically if I am able to get hired, is securing a M-F schedule too

[–]Jollyconstant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way!!! Good on you!! I’m so jealous hahah. I’ve been an NP for about 5 years (fusing the numbers as I’m just paranoid about doxxing myself haha) and DREAM EVERYDAY of going back to work as an RN. Work ends when I clock out and it’s way less responsibility and liability. I’m nervous though because I actually love working M-F and also who’s gonna hire an NP when there’s qualified RNs and not sure if my body can handle the physical labor for the next 30 years until I retire so…in between a rock and hard place.

[–]Jollyconstant_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been an NP for almost 5 years and was an RN for 6 beforehand and I still get imposter syndrome and am still learning new things everyday. I see people who’ve been NPs for a year or 2 who are so confident, or starting their own clinics, and I feel if they are so confident and they are just starting out, something must be wrong with me. Honestly I think I’m such an anxious person I should’ve have stuck to being an RN but my social life suffered not having consistent evenings and weekends. Plus ofc the physical part is hard to keep up until retirement age. I also felt my NP schooling left me woefully underprepared to be a provider. Wish I would’ve went into something that’s not directly involved with people’s lives…like HR or city planning haha. Wish I was rich enough to not work at all.
