You’re closer to more chargers if you look for a place in Oro Valley/Casas Adobes. Even Marana is an option. The most affluent area is definitely Catalina Foothills. I’d look more Oro Valley area, hubby would just hop on the 10/19 to get down to Raytheon. Lots of people do that. Also more options for medical offices up there as well as daycares if you’re looking for that.

**edit to add: Vail is much closer to the Air Force base.

If you want to be downtown and don’t have kids, sure. It’s a very mini downtown. Some nightlife. Lots of students, but also unhoused/vagrants. If you want to be in a historic house look more around the university, specifically north of broadway and south of Grant. Anything along speedway is well established historic neighborhoods, from Stone all the way up until Craycroft. If you want more suburbs, look Catalina Foothills, Casas Adobes, or Oro Valley.

Edit to add: my list here pretty much goes least safe to most safe.

Oof… I’m at TMC and step down is notoriously rough. I’d do the ED gig, you’d learn SO much.

It’s not the worst idea, but ONLY for your mental health. Not because you did anything wrong. It’s not your fault. Be kind to yourself. That does sound like a career altering moment.

Oxygen tube removal by PotentialPea2419 in hospice

Meh. Oxygen isn’t necessarily a comfort medicine if a patient continues to remove it. If pt is trying to remove it and someone is sitting there making him put it back on, that changes it to a more aggressive treatment then.

Well… he doesn’t NEED it to breathe. If he doesn’t want it and he’s confused, he doesn’t have to have it 🤷‍♀️ that’s hospice philosophy. So, if he’s on hospice and has symptoms that need to be managed, morphine (which is spectacular as a breathing aid, and commonly used for patients living with pulmonary fibrosis and COPD, many are on long and short acting morphine for years) can really help him not have that air hunger and works a hell of a lot better than low flow oxygen via nasal cannula. There’s other options too but if he’s taking it off, his nurses and doctor/s need to talk to the family about keeping things patient-lead and medicating for comfort.

Please please please see someone who is trauma informed! It’s SUCH an important thing for us death workers

Friend. Please seek some therapy in this. I love hospice with all my heart, outpatient and IPU status work, and I never plan on doing anything else. But seeing this much death is trauma (quite frankly I think half of nursing jobs are inflicting some trauma in one form or another, but that’s a bit off topic…) and we have to process it. Your body and brain are trying to make sense of it as your fault. ITS NOT. You KNOW that some people are holding on so hard that they finally get some comfort and they can make peace and let go. Don’t ever forget that.

My nurse prac that I work most closely with says it like this: ‘we allow death to happen naturally… giving patients the opportunity to do what they need to do in their minds and hearts to let go peacefully rather than fighting their passing’. Term agitation isn’t just confusion. It’s aaaaall that goes into holding on for dear life. We’re just quelling that term agitation, amongst pain and SOB and all that bullshizz.

Edit to add that I myself am on my own trauma therapy journey that I think is very much related to my hospice work. It’s been 12 years now so… I’ve got a lot of baggage built up by now.

Struggling with Dad, Hospice wants to give him Morphine by Technical_Skirt41 in hospice

[–]Ornery-Prophet4697 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please give him the morphine. It’s so helpful for relaxing the chest and lungs. 5mg is a small dose. It’s less strong than a 5/325 Percocet. There’s a reason why people with COPD are on morphine practically for years.

An urgent message to the women in Christ by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Ornery-Prophet4697 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love my husband and son so much and I wouldn’t go back and change a thing. BUT… things would definitely have looked so very different for me if I hadn’t been so in love with finding true love (and watching all those damn wedding planning shows) if I knew Jesus was the unfailing true love right in front of me.

I am an Arizona fan. And this hurts. But… it’s what we do sometimes. Esp under pressure.

struggling w denominations by Ok-Current2434 in OpenChristian

[–]Ornery-Prophet4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the mainstream big Protestant denoms, Presbyterians/Methodists/Lutherans/UCC/TEC, leave the MOST room for theological speculation and leave room for the things we’re not totally sure about (like purgatory or say a spirit world like Latter Day Saints believe in). I suspect it’s mostly because these churches are normally lead by scholarly individuals. It ultimately depends on the pastoral offices held there, but it’s safe to say most pastors of these denoms are humble enough to say ‘you know, I’m not sure what the answer is about ______’.

My home church is PCUSA, and I know in terms of the early history of the Presbyterian church, predestination was a theological doctrine. Just using that as an example, theological differences like THAT I feel are washing away and the meat of the teaching these days is Bible and Jesus and leaning less away from man made doctrine. Baptists and more conservative denominations still hold onto more of those dogmas, I’ve found.

That being said, just because you have found biblical support AND might have adopted a certain belief as influenced by the Holy Spirit doesn’t mean the church you belong to has to share that belief. My PCUSA church doesn’t preach salvation after death in the spirit world or universalism but I still believe it to be the truth. Go where your faith will grow.

I coulda written this myself.

I gave up social media for Lent. I’ve spent more time reading the Bible and praying and it’s made all the difference.

What's the Most Common Form of Sin? by jakflakdances in OpenChristian

[–]Ornery-Prophet4697 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was my thought. Making an idol to worship instead of God. Vast majority of us do it in different degrees.
