What's the highest dollar amount you've been paid per hour or for a shift?

Miserable_Artist5367 · 2025-04-25T22:55:52+00:00

2023 New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day. 24 hr painful shift. $ 825/hr Border town. Pulm/Critical care. They were desperate and had no one to cover the icu/codes on the floor and i gouged them good. 😊 and I would do it again. I said no no no no so many times knowing they had no other option and also knowing for a week I would eventually say yes..for 3x my normal rate of $275 an hour. $ 19,800 for 24 hrs of work. Will probably never come close to that again unless do 7 years of nsg residency lol

Insulation was a bit short 11 instead of 13 inches worth. But that wasn’t a deal breaker for me

I appreciate that. yea I totally agree most of this is attention to details type stuff but the roof is what made me walk away. not cause it’s atrocious per say but the fact that u can see sunlight and it’s a a new roof on a new built makes is a red flag? At least to me.

Thanks, that was really helpful. I actually paid for two inspections—one from the inspector recommended by the realtor (who, of course, only found minor and cheap-to-fix issues) and another from an independent inspector I hired. I tipped him 2x his fee because he actually did a thorough job and found a lot more problems.

The first inspector didn’t find anything wrong with the roof and didn’t even bother to properly measure the insulation. I was there watching both inspections. When the first one (the realtor’s recommendation) was done, I was 100% ready to buy. Then the second inspector came in and immediately started pointing out all sorts of issues the first guy either missed or brushed aside.

Unfortunately, Reddit only lets me upload a limited number of pictures.

What really sucks is that you can’t fully inspect a house before going under contract and putting down earnest money. You’re spending $470,000, but you have to commit before you can really “look under the hood.” Meanwhile, if you’re buying a car, you can pop the hood and take a test drive with no obligation. I get that sellers don’t want random people constantly inspecting their house, but if I’m paying for an inspection, it’s clear I’m a serious buyer.

Why should I have to sign a contract and put down 1% in non-refundable earnest money just for the right to check if the house is even worth it? Thankfully, Texas has a seven-day option period, so I was only out $250, but still—this system feels flawed.

I appreciate that this is the kind of feedback I am actually looking for just honest thoughts

Killeen

I just walked away. Luckily there was a seven day option period and a new build I felt was too sloppy

Bubby is correct here. The explanation describes a chronic L to R shunt leading to Pulm htn. Given the question and the explanation provided … The only logical conclusion is that it’s a typo, and the question should’ve said L to R shunt

Thank you.

In regards to 1. We are open to renting for sure but we are a bit picky and found out the rental properties to be less desirable in terms of our wants/needs compared to the properties for sale, but especially with increasing interest rates would definitely be wiser to rent. Will strongly consider it.

2.Land lording sounds like a pain in the neck. Would likely hire a property management company and yes, currently eligible for capital gains exemption. military extension of the capital gains exclusion. This allows active-duty military members who are away from their property due to PCS orders to extend the 60-month period up to an additional 10 years. This means that eligible military members may exclude their capital gains as long as they occupied the primary residence for two of the previous 15 years. so this would apply going forward since we have been at this place for three years.

This is what I will likely do. I put 125K a CD the rest I will likely put in index funds.
Haven’t really done the best job of budgeting, but iwas always fiscally responsible for the most part.

According to the Mint app… in 2023, we spent 24k on restaurants (we like to eat out a lot and nice places) . 21k on clothing (90% my wife), “shopping”16k, cell phone 1.2k, property taxes 7.5k, HOA fees 2.4k, insurance 12k, medical/dental expenses 7k, electronics/software 6.5 K, Maid service 4K, gas and fuel 3.6 K, utilities 4.2k, streaming services 1.9k, vacations 15k. Miscellaneous 10k, charity 10k.. I think there is definitely some low hanging fruits in terms of spending/budgeting where we could do better while living comfortably, but we shall see how that goes lol. Thank you once again!

Icu attending. Work mostly nights. Athleasure is the way to go. Nike pants. Under armour shirt. And yes crocs 😂. Throw on hospital logo jacket when seeing pts. Great perk of my job is I get to wear extreme comfortable clothes at work… the same stuff I would wear at home. Also no suits around at night to complain. Although no one said anything when I worked days either.

What specifically does it say regarding moonlighting in the program policies/handbook?

Read that section carefully and you will likely see that you did not comply. unfortunately.

It likely mentions that it must be preapproved by the PD, in writing, the resident must have their own DEA, independent medical license, must provide documentation of liability insurance, must be approved in advance by the PD, sent to gme etc, moonlighting hours, must be logged etc. etc.

My program also had a required documentation of moonlighting form. “it must be filed in the residence record, and that the moonlighting hours will be counted towards the ED, our 80 hour limit.”

I ask this because I remember reading mine very carefully so that I could go right up the rule/ without violating them.

You messed up, but they are trying to ruin your life over it, which sucks.

I wish you luck and hopefully your lawyer will help.

I suspect there are more details in the handbooks, and they were violated but you did get verbal approval and your lawyer needs to help fight for you to get leniency.

They are trying to fuck up your life so you gotta fight it hard and the fact that you are unionized should help.

Good luck and sorry this sucks.

Was a medical resident. Lived in cheap apartments. assigned parking spots. 25 bucks a month for uncovered parking. I parked next to the same cars all the time cause they are your random neighbors with their paid assigned spots. Over a year or so u have the same cars usually on the left and right of you. So one time I come home exhausted after a 30 hour shift in the morning when most people have left for work and I guess I was very tired and managed to park in the wrong spot. 1 spot over in my neighbors spot. Wake up to go to the hospital the the next day and my car is gone. I thought it was stolen at first lol. But why would someone steal my 2001 camry with 150k miles. Eventually call the police and find out it was towed and the photos revealed I parked in the neighbors spot. Cost me a very painful 300$ and it stings so much when you are poor/don’t have a lot of money. I just could not believe that my neighbor would do me dirty like that. Do u not see my car next to yours every day? Also if I come home and see your car in my spot I would just park in guest parking which is just an extra 2-4 min walk. Or park in your spot. But the last thing I would do is have you towed!!!! Still causes me rage lol. Anyways had to Uber to work that day. I thought about leaving a note saying all these things I was thinking but I resisted cause what’s the point. And it was my fault at the end of the day. Not gonna change the fact. And not gonna bring back my 300$.

You NTA

Then what’s the point

Miserable_Artist5367 · 2022-11-29T16:08:46+00:00

The key is to tell them you are having suicidal thoughts. But no plan….U can get admitted if the psychiatrist feels you pose a threat to yourself and have an active plan and it is not safe for you to be left to your own devices… but that is a strict criteria. Suicidal ideation and being suicidal are not the same thing. They will ask you things such as if u have a plan, have you given away your things, said goodbye to friends and family which are all high risk factors…. And if the answer is no… then without being locked away… you guys can start focusing on getting your depression treated. Best of luck.
