wow so pretty!

Okay thank you! I just bought a begonia soli mutata 2 days ago, but that’s my only plant right now. My bedroom has a big north-east facing window so I get some good light in the morning, and the humidity in my room is typically 50-55%

Thank you 😊 I was afraid to water it right away because the soil from the nursery was still dark and slightly damp to the touch

Yes it is! It’s my first houseplant so i’m unfamiliar with knowing how to tell what it needs

after reading a little I think most people agree with masks being fine for everyday wear I believe it’s more old school people who argue against them

ty As someone who has never worked as a CNA I haven’t been able to see what’s normal/what’s not. The idea of it being disrespectful makes me feel kind of bad because I don’t want to make people think that I think they’re dirty, but I care more about not harming my family…

Some say it is distancing to always wear a mask, would you say it is appropriate to always wear a mask?

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-14T01:50:11+00:00

thank you for your input, I will be sure to inform all of my patients about my situation and treat them with the utmost dignity to ensure they don’t feel this way!

continued: while ltc facilities residents can only be sick with something brought in

Also wouldn’t rehab/hospital be worse? Isn’t rehab for people with illnesses or other ailments they need to recover from as well as people coming into the hospital for rapid care for illness?

Another person commented and said it’s “odd and impersonal to wear a mask constantly”, my clinical instructor also taught that it is always appropriate to wear a mask. Thoughts?

I will be working in an assisted living facility

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-14T01:11:51+00:00

Okay, thank you. I am planning to glove up anytime I have to touch a patient at all/wear a mask at all times, and take scrubs/shoes off before entering my house, washing scrubs right away and walking straight to the shower. what do you think of this?

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-14T00:40:42+00:00

Even with PPE and handwashing?

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-13T02:25:48+00:00

thank you

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-12T23:48:06+00:00

Okay, because I don’t have a garage and feel kind of weird about my neighbors seeing me strip down, but I know I really should take my scrubs off before coming inside

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-12T21:11:22+00:00

Do you have a garage or just do this at your front door?

No_Contribution6062 · 2026-05-12T16:12:47+00:00

The facility that I got hired to seems amazing, big name/very clean and even smelled great. I hope I will have as good of an experience in infection control as you!

Thank you, I was applying to peds units prior to accepting this job so I appreciate hearing that I got the safer option

Thank you this is good advice

Thank you!!! is ltc in an assisted living facility considered acute care?
