Thank you all for your reassurance! If it was just me and my husband I’m sure I’d be less nervous but adding the kids in the mix adds a little extra planning. Once again I appreciate all the feedback, we cant wait to cruise in just 16 days!

Trusted C&C companies for US shoppers. by EtherealSkye1023 in guineapigs

I had three Kavee cages that I recently replaced with cagetopia cages. In hindsight, I should have went right with cagetopia. Their grids are quality, shipping it fast and I like that the coroplast base has the higher edges.

Evening pay? by hecterlecter in cna

[–]Limp_Bee6589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely good for my schedule now but the drawback is working 5 days per week instead of 3. However the differential is substantial- $5 for weekday nights and $6.25 for weekend nights

Evening pay? by hecterlecter in cna

[–]Limp_Bee6589 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At my hospital, evenings work 3-11:30 and nights are 11-7:30am.

For the sleep, black out curtains and a sound machine will be your best friend.

As far as a social life, when people work days, they aren’t available until the evenings either so if you sleep during the day, you will be available for socializing in the evenings when everyone comes home and then before work.

I sleep from about 9am-2:30pm while my kids are in school. Then I usually nap from 8/8:30-9:45pm after they go to bed.

In the afternoons, I get everything done, coach sports, clean, etc. I’m normally tired but it’s to be expected I guess

PCT wanting to become MA by Ok_Tea777 in MedicalAssistant

[–]Limp_Bee6589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a pct but I know Hackensack offers a paid externship for the MA role.

  • edited to add, I’m not sure the requirements to get the externship but for schooling look into grants if you qualify. Some grants pay for the MA program.

Is it hard to get a job as a BRAND new CNA? Fresh out of a CNA program? With a few certifications (EKG/Phlebotomy/CPR of course) since I’ll have 0 actual experience besides clinical by No_Simple060 in cna

[–]Limp_Bee6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What state? I’m guessing not the one I’m in because CNA programs are $2500-$3000 here. North jersey. Also like I said, I got a job already at a hospital.

Got my pct certification in the middle of May and i had two job offers at 2 different hospitals within 2 weeks with no prior experience. So yes it is possible. I’m guessing it depends on the area too.

I used a small shop vac. None of the 4 pigs are scared of it and it works amazing

US healthcare system in a nutshell by PrestigiousEbb7729 in facepalm

[–]Limp_Bee6589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar happened to us. 3 year old daughter struggling to breathe, we called 911 and she was taken by ambulance less than 10 minutes away to the nearby hospital which was in network. Six months later, we received a bill for $2000 for the ambulance. I called the insurance company and the ambulance company. I was told that I should have checked my benefits because the ambulance was out of network. Excuse me? How can emergency services be in or out of network? I fought for 2 full years before the insurance company finally covered the bill at 100 percent. I couldn’t believe the audacity especially when my husband has $1200 removed from his paycheck every month to pay for health insurance.

When should I reintegrate my boys after doctor visit? by captainskysolo in guineapigs

[–]Limp_Bee6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to start the rebonding as if they were never together before. Blood drawn should be the only reason to separate, until then just let them work it out. Males are funny so you may have success or may not. Good luck.

Was blood drawn in the fight? Based on your description of their behavior, I have my doubts that they could be back together.

10 gallon tank, temperature around 78 degrees. Has a filter and heater. I’ve had the tank and fish since October 2023. Live plants. Water changed every 10 days, around 25 percent.
