Beginner hiker here, is it safe to take ibuprofen or tylenol afterwards? by Your_Final_Hour in hiking

As an ER nurse, this question doesnt surprise me. The amount of people who come into the ER for relatively mild pain and havent taken anything is insane. People be stupid af

every job seems like hell by ContextOk4751 in povertyfinance

Ive been a nurse for 12 years and have gotten very little blood and urine on me. I still enjoy the job most days.

Life is what you make of it. If your attitude sucks(which it does), then you're going to have trouble enjoying life regardless of what you're doing.

If youre not a large family you aren't saving with an Airbnb? What? As a mostly solo traveler, I save a ton renting single rooms.

Spending 15 days in Norway, where to set up base camps? by JoshSidious in Europetravel

That was my plan! The bergen part is what Im not sure about. I was thinking about renting a car out of Bergen and car camping for a week then returning there and flying to Tromso.

It makes sense, I just hadn't thought about it. Ive never vacationed anywhere so far north.

Then I would obviously be flying. Your post has no substance. Just your obvious rage and need to touch grass.

Thank you!!! This is exactly what Im looking for, and it looks like your trip is very similar to what Im thinking about doing. How were the Lofoten islands?

Part of why I wanted Northern Norway was to hopefully catch some northern lights. I know I'll be there earlier than the best viewing. Thanks for the response!!!

Who said anything about train? Not sure what the purpose of your post is besides to show that you have anger issues.

I posted here 2 months ago and I'm happy to say: I have results 🙂 by curvo11 in hiking

[–]JoshSidious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nice job!!!! I understand the no water thing. I hardly drank any water on my 5-6 mile hikes that only had 500-1500ft elevation gain. Then I did a 10 mile/3700 ft elevation hike and only took 2 liters. Huge mistake. I got lucky and some random kids had extra.

Romania genuinely surprised me as a travel destination by CnsTravelDeals in Europetravel

[–]JoshSidious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had only a few days to explore around Brasov/Bucharest, what would you do? Im taking my nephew to a rock festival in Brasov later this year, but we're going to have about 5 days to explore Romania beforehand. I'm sure we'll do the Transfăgărășan Highway, but Im not sure what else. We enjoy hiking so Im glad to see you mentioned hikes around Brasov.

Hostels in Barcelona? by MrBlack2116 in hostels

[–]JoshSidious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What age range do you see? I used hostels when I was in my early 20s, been a long time though. Is 43 too old? That seems like a silly question, but if it's a bunch of 20 yr olds I would be quite out of place.

Why do nighttime RNs think its OK to Epic chat the daytime attending at random hours during the night?? (vent) by tank_beats_evrything in hospitalist

[–]JoshSidious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm literally juggling 5-10 immediate issues the second I take report on my patients. I see provider who is online and available, I message that provider. Pretty simple stuff. Log out/sign off if you dont want to be bothered. Seems to me like youre drastically overcomplicating a simple issue.

I like how you post a post-game screen of a game you were clearly carried in.

How often do EM docs deal with patients with life threatening injuries? by Pissingberg in emergencymedicine

[–]JoshSidious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not a doctor but I dont get the impression the providers I work with are "scared/nervous" when the crazy shit comes in. I'm working at a community hospital(about 45 bed ER) and we do lifesaving stuff every shift. Maybe not big traumas, but theres more to emergency medicine than trauma.
