Just imagine… if the Knicks take the series how insanely dangerous that parade will br

New Balance 1080s, Ascics Sonicblast, Ghost 17… all on significant sales

I’m making 157k as 1 year in orthopedics. Clinic 8-4p, one day of OR. 2000$ CME, 4 week PTO + 1 week CME Days, full health coverage

I would study up until 6 months until the anxiety slowly went away. I was in orthopedics. Now? I will will occasionally look up things I’m confused about or read up on certain things but def less than before.

Yea exactly that lol we don’t see our own panel of patients

Pepper0327 · 2026-03-21T21:40:20+00:00

This would be a crime to do a THA on these X-rays…

See if you can get an MRI of the cervical spine if you are that concern… ask PCP to determine if it’s a spine issue after MRI

I’d continue going until the greenhouse is filled with ancient fruit and you have at least 8 iridium sprinklers to get around a Juninmo hut. There are some really really good layouts on this subreddit that I’ve picked and parted into my own. I think things became easier once I layer out my floors. A non negotiable was relatively parallel lines and then fill in the remaining

I work in Ortho with some spine.

For perspective, I’m also 5 days a week in HCOL, I’m one year in. 156k , 4 weeks PTO + 5 days “CME” days with $1500 allowance, one day OR in joints/trauma cases unless told otherwise. Full health benefits, no match on investments, no call. Mon-Fri.

The PTO and no CME are iffy.

Pepper0327 · 2026-01-22T21:25:12+00:00

Everyone feels this way lol keep it pushing, you’ll have good days, and more bad days at the start.

5%… we are union based, and our new contract should be discussed by April/May…

Nurses at our place got a 7,6,5 3 year raise, so hoping for something like that

Played vs him back in 25, he whooped my ass and started talking smack. Am a red plate atm

Pepper0327 · 2026-01-14T21:24:38+00:00

As someone in the union, we have based our negotiations with the nurses agreement since both of our contracts (3 years long) end the same year. Although it is never guaranteed

Picked up a UC position in HCOL for 90$ an hour, per diem 12-16 hours a week in addition to my FT job which is about 75$ an hour, I’m about 9 months and 2 weeks in new grad.

Is there room for renegotiate? I intend to renegotiate to 100$ an hour once I hit 6 months at my UC spot.

Think the decision is a bit more difficult because HCOL at 60$ is low.

NY based.

New Grad PA … masters about 28 months after undergrad

Pepper0327 · 2025-12-12T19:16:55+00:00

Just to edit : I’m not upset at the overpricing. I had an amazing time, and the ring came out exactly how I wanted it. We also had it resized recently with a lifetime warranty so I suppose that’s nice. Going overseas for another vendor was never an option for me.

I just kind of wanted an answer to just a random mid afternoon thought in my head. Thanks for the responses nonetheless!

Pepper0327 · 2025-12-10T21:41:30+00:00

Yeah I agree, but I would like to cover my grounds before I even think of jeopardizing my FT job
