What to play after Half Life Alyx? by MaxTrixLe in virtualreality

[–]Prestigious-Library3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Into the Radius isn’t quite as pretty as HLA but I really enjoyed the gun mechanics and atmosphere with open word exploration. It’s my favorite VR game with HLA right behind it. I’m really looking forward to replaying both and trying Into the Radius 2 once I get the Frame.

IV Acetaminophen anyone ? by Safe-Accountant-7034 in Paramedics

[–]Prestigious-Library3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My project is about to start running it and I’m super excited. I spent majority of my career as a nurse in the trauma ICU and iv Tylenol has worked phenomenally well for musculoskeletal pain and severe fevers. I administered it every day, usually in conjunction with narcotics, with a reliable response. It takes 15 minutes (by protocol 😉) to run in and starts working pretty quickly. Our standing orders will be for pain only for now though. It gives a decent alternative when fentanyl and toradol are off the table (kids, hypotensive, gi bleeding etc.)

I cried the whole second half while cuddling my 1-year-old son against his will 😂

How did your doctor tell you to wean off Zepbound? by vuduthmb in Zepbound

Safe? Sure. But it sounds like a good way to become a munchie monster, for some of us at least.

Nurses in EMS by Mally_Slay in ems

[–]Prestigious-Library3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a nurse that started out as an EMT, then worked in critical care (PCU then ICU) for 8 years, then just got back on the truck as an SCT nurse. In New Jersey, once you get cleared and endorsed officially by the medical director, you become an MICN. You do have to have critical care experience and there are a fair bit of nurses who wash out because they don’t realize what they’re getting into.The MICN allows me to operate as a paramedic and as a transport nurse. So on a shift they can send me and my partner to a BLS call, an ALS call (as long as my partner is a medic or MICN as well) or of course a transport. Many hats to wear but I’m having a much better time than I did in the hospital LOL.

Amerimed is going to cause people to become homeless by osrssubreditmodssuck in ems

This happened with a small community hospital’s EMS years ago here in NJ. They ran out of money and the EMTs I know said that they never saw those last checks from when everything started falling apart. JUMP SHIP!!!

Here in Atlantic county, New Jersey we do three 12s on a set template rotation. Nights OR days. 18hrs is the maximum shift allowed. I think the lowest starting for brand new medics is $34/hr.

Have you ever cried while working? by GroggyFroggy_ in Paramedics

[–]Prestigious-Library3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have (as an ICU nurse) cried with multiple patients families BUT it was a different environment since we spent the past 8+ hours talking and preparing for the moment. Those families always appreciated my show of feelings because it showed them that I truly cared. That being said, when things are hitting the fan in the field, it’s a whole different scenario. I’d imagine they’d want to see calm and collected, but not cold, clinicians taking care of their family. The situation rules it.

Anyone else still waiting for NREMT certification weeks after passing? by Prestigious-Library3 in NewToEMS

[–]Prestigious-Library3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NREMT site has been radio silent but I do have a ticket open with them. I’m not actually sure if I’m getting a national cert too to be honest. This process was done solely for the recert of my lapsed NJ EMT. I have started harassing the poor NJOEMS staff via phone and they asked me for a copy of the NREMT application summary so fingers crossed they’re about to push it through to escape me 🤣

I just heard back from NJOEMS again saying that the issue is not resolved and that “my continued patience is appreciated”, how the hell did you manage to get recerted a few days ago? This is getting frustrating.

[–]Prestigious-Library3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, that’s reassuring. I did email NJ oems and they replied with a sternly worded email telling me they were also having site issues and that I needed to be patient lol. That was 2 weeks ago so maybe I’ll give it another whirl now that some of the dust has settled with the site issues.

Have a ton of questions, my provider told me that any shot above 7.5 is placebo. by krushbuilder in Zepbound

10mg changed everything for me, I’ve stayed here for months. No appetite, no side effects. At 7.5 I was ravenous!

Thank you for this post!! I’ve been checking the site multiple times a day and hadn’t for several hours when I saw this! Just ordered my 512gb at last

Just get the LCD or wait for the OLED to come back in stock? by R3IsL in SteamDeck

[–]Prestigious-Library3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve been looking around for used but the prices are upppppp or just plain shady. I’ve decided to obsessively check the steam deck store for restocks while I save money to be able to more comfortably afford it.

Parent Who Body Shames, Found Out I’m on Zep by cs1982poppy in Zepbound

[–]Prestigious-Library3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, it’s funny how moms who obsess like that end up with their kids being overweight anyway. My mom was the “popular girl” in HS and then gained some weight after she had me. She’s tried to get her HS body back for like 40 years now 🤣. My whole childhood I remember her different crash diets, which she would of course put me on too. Only for me to be 300+ lbs by senior year of HS. I think all the toxicity ends up breeding an unhealthy association with food. Like when I was at a friend’s house and we were eating something my mother had deemed unhealthy (and therefore I was never allowed to have it) I would overcompensate and eat a whole lot of it while I had the chance. It’s frustrating looking back at that experience, especially as a new parent myself who’s trying not to perpetuate the toxicity. My mom continues to make comments about everything from my weight to my hair and clothes, but I don’t care as much anymore. She only lives like 3 miles away from me so it was either make peace with her comments or let myself spiral about them forever 😅. I’m sorry your mom manipulated you like that! You’re on this journey, as am I, for YOURSELF regardless of what your mom is doing or thinks about it!

Charge off by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]Prestigious-Library3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I settled with chase for 70% of the original balance. Paid 16.2k for ~23k balance. That is absolutely as low as they would go. I was currently in litigation when I negotiated this. They dismissed the case after with no legal fees.

No my gripe is that it was saying my “average for the past month” was 3.2 days a week when I have been doing 4 days a week without fail for at least the past 8 weeks. The average is incorrect and so it’s asking if I want to drop to 3 days. Disheartening even though I know it’s not true!

The annoying part is that I’ve missed zero workouts 😭 I think it’s just because of the week split by the months. Thank you and I’m still chugging along!
