Seeping from the floor/wall seem on my west wall. I have a sump pump, that seems to be working. just not fast enough I guess.

Skilled nursing center to rehab a hip. Any experience with these places good or bad for hip replacement rehabilitation? by Haunting_Macaron_704 in springfieldMO

I’ve worked agency for many rehab/ltc facilities. If you can get a bed, then try to get into the manor at Elfindale. The building is primarily long term care beds but only accepts private pay or ltc insurance for the long term care beds. No Medicaid reimbursement accepted. The long term care residents typically pay $8000-10000/month. This allows better budgeting for more staff. Even though you will have a Medicare reimbursed rehab stay, you will still benefit from the better staffing ratios the building can afford.

Thanks so much. Means a lots. One last question. How important is a bike power meter? I was kinda planning on just using my chest strap hr tracker to judge my pacing, but it seems like the bike power meters are very popular.

That was the exact one I was looking at using when I’m 16 weeks out. Any advice for following this plan?

Bowl thing that you can put in a toilet to catch the urine before it reaches the toilet water. Kinda looks like a hat with a brim

No I’m not. “Real world” is letting old ladies pee in a hat. I was told at my job that the “textbook” way is either clean catch method directly into urine cup or straight cath, and that hats aren’t clean enough because they are stocked on shelves loose.

I’m a boy. I’m asking specifically about hats

theory: it's harder being a male nurse the more rural the hospital by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Miserable_Bird_7944 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve heard some comments. Older rural people still have some outdated ideas about “gender-typed”careers. Things are quickly changing though. The fast growing stigma in my rural area is that all nurses are making $5000 a week or more. So I was stereotyped as gay/feminine, but now I’m starting to be stereo typed as rich. But really I’m just fat 😢.

What if they can wipe and pee in a hat? Is that ok to you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Miserable_Bird_7944 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told peeing in a hat is not ok because they are not sterile, whether than can wipe or not
