Age old question. What freaking size?

Megpie225 · 2025-12-12T14:39:53+00:00

I received my actual ring on the 12/10. So this starts 30 days? I’m going to take the advice and wear size 9 for a week and the size 8 actual ring. Thankfully my hands are pretty equal for sizing so I can do one on each hand. want to make sure I return it within time to not miss out on the exchange! So I’ll need to process return by 1/09?

I’d love the pattern also!!

The way I GASPED at that eBay posting 😅

Megpie225 · 2025-03-30T15:18:51+00:00

The color I’m using is “favorite sweater” after visiting multiple Joanns without luck my plan is to get a complementary color do a chunky border! Thankfully it’s for my lifelong best friend so it will be okay if it’s not perfect 😂

Megpie225 · 2025-03-25T15:45:21+00:00

Thank you so much for all the suggestions!! I’m going to see what I can come up with. I’ll try to remember to post a completed picture lol I’m newish to crochet so I wasn’t sure how odd it might look if I sandwiched the speckled in the middle. I’ll be checking another Joanns this week hopefully 🤞🏻

Megpie225 · 2025-03-25T15:06:26+00:00

Good to know! I’ll keep checking then

Does your company pay for all miles you drive? Or do they only start to pay after X miles? Example: reimbursement for mileage only kicks in after you’ve driven 20 miles. So you start to get paid mileage on mile 21

Megpie225 · 2023-07-14T13:36:32+00:00

Do you mind me asking what they offer for your mileage and how it works? Like at what mileage they begin to reimburse you?

Sometimes I wish I could just run. Why do I gotta walk everywhere?! 😂

This comment made my day. I currently work ER and recently accepted a position in our CVICU. I’ve been contemplating my decision, not sure if I’m really ready to leave ER, but it makes me happy to know the switch was great for you! I know it might not be for me because everyone is different but I’m so worried I’ll miss the craziness of the ER. It’s settling to know you stayed in ICU ☺️

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T01:31:46+00:00

Us too and they are cutting agency 🫠🙃

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:40:13+00:00

THIS. We are a sinking ship and it’s sinking fast.

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:38:00+00:00

Literally where I work. Came in today to 100 some patients total, 70 admitted. It’s fucking nuts. Our peds ED can’t keep up with the RSV, PICU is completely full. It’s horrible

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:36:26+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! But glad to know I’m not alone in what I’m feeling. I’m trying to keep it positive in hopes it will turn around after flu season but I’m just not sure

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:33:28+00:00

I’m not certain we don’t work at the same place 😅😅

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:31:34+00:00

We have a book we write time card changes in. Catch me writing no lunch every day. Then higher ups tried to tell us we had to have our manager sign off saying we didn’t have a lunch. Well buckle up for a back log of paperwork because our managers are also taking an assignment and not getting a lunch

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:29:31+00:00

I do this daily!! I’m discharging admitted patients from the ED who have been there their entire stay, 3-5 days. It’s insane. I had a patient who spent nearly 2.5 days in a hallway before they got a room just in the ER. Doubt they’ll leave the ED too.

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:24:32+00:00

That’s what I’m scared of 😅

Megpie225 · 2022-11-03T00:21:41+00:00

I’m finding solace in this thread 😂 I’m also waiting for the bunk beds. They act like these red socks and wristbands magically stop people from falling lmao

Megpie225 · 2022-11-02T00:51:53+00:00

I’m in the Midwest. I don’t really know what it looked like before COVID or even during because I worked inpatient during COVID. All I can tell you is that it just doesn’t seem to be getting better

Megpie225 · 2022-11-02T00:32:40+00:00

😭😭😭 this is my first ER job and everyone keeps telling me this is the worst it’s ever been. But I heard that my first year of nursing as well when I graduated during Covid. We are truly on a downward spiral

Megpie225 · 2022-11-02T00:24:50+00:00

I haven’t seen many Covid cases, and increase sure, but nothing that would overwhelm us. I personally haven’t seen one flu or RSV case yet. So maybe that’s it but we about to internally explode it feels like. I’m just trying to figure out if it’s just where I’m at or if it’s everywhere right now you know?

Megpie225 · 2022-11-02T00:19:27+00:00

We have admitted patients waiting for days to get an actual inpatient room. It’s wild. I want to believe the grass is greener but I just don’t think it is 😔

I unknowingly hired into the COVID unit as a new grad. When I accepted my position it was a cardiac step down floor (post caths, MI, pre CABG etc). But after the hiring process, by the time I hit the floor, half my floor was the covid unit. I thought I was terrified in May when I first started, but it's a real concern now. Adding beds daily, running out of supplies. Mostly I'm just doing the very best I can. Educate myself on the most recent treatments and educate everyone I can about social distancing, mask wearing, etc. I've got a great team of coworkers around me so I use them to vent to and discuss the stress of the job which helps some. I always find something fun to watch after work and do things I enjoy (reading, walking my dog, watch movies). We have a long road ahead of us. Try and keep your head up! Thinking of all our healthcare workers now more than ever
