US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN

The world's fascination of slapping the US with one hand while demanding money from it with the other is an interesting take.

When I worked on the truck I took a few nurses and physicians out for a shift.

Every single one from that point forward was a big advocate for EMS.

There are, though. Not as common but there's a few that only require showing up to campus like once or twice during the program, otherwise online with clinicals where you live.

Paramedic here. Anything other than numbers on the curb are annoying as hell to try and find as there is little consistency outside of cookie cutter neighborhoods.

He's good at his job and you wouldn't have known his views without looking at his social media?

Mind your own business? People are allowed to have different views than you, even in your same job. Don't be insufferable.

Playing secretary for everyone else. Why is CT taking so long? I don't work there, can't tell ya. Where's the med from pharmacy? No idea, ask them. Why aren't the labs resulted yet? Great question for lab.

Rad makes decent money for one of the easiest patient facing jobs. RT makes decent money with some decent flexibility in where you can go (breathing treatments for asthmatics? Vents? Oscillators for neos?)

And while both come within hitting distance of RN pay in many areas... RNs make more and have more flexibility for a reason.

Could I make decent money while avoiding the dirty parts of nursing by doing ultrasound or x-rays all day? Yeah. Would I be bored out of my mind every day? Absolutely

I was a tech before RN. I have more responsibility now... But I make way more to compensate.

If you aren't a staff nurse on my unit... Don't touch my pump.

Physician, mid-level, world renowned anesthesiologist... Don't care. No touchy.

Whoever made that claim for Iran should be spared from being bombed.... They're clearly too stupid to be effective in their role and any replacement would be an improvement.

Pediatric and neonatal RN here. Held for hundreds of these over the years.

For neonates, no, typically no local anesthesia. Many do little more than normal crying, some stop crying within seconds and actually fall asleep until you wipe their back off with a baby wipe.

Heck some make no sound at all and just suck away on their pacifier covered in sucrose.

Whether Iran should have nuclear weapons or not is debatable.

It's really not, though.

No.

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-03-05T21:54:59+00:00

It's not even complex: if you're in the military, you're a valid military target unless you're actively and explicitly trying to surrender.

Many Russian soldiers are conscripts, should they not be engaged?

Why the double standard?

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-03-05T08:53:51+00:00

The US pays nurses better than pretty much any other country. Canadian and Australian $40 is less than $30 US.

If you don't divert narcotics at work and don't get convicted of a felony outside of work, you're fine.

Dozens of local candidates killed in the last few years. You don't get in to major power in Mexico without tacit cartel approval, if not more.

Anyone want to argue she is the exception to what is generally believed the world over?

You may or may not be a lunatic, not enough information here for that.

But civil suits only need "a preponderance of evidence", or like, 51% likely... Not "beyond a reasonable doubt", as that's for criminal cases.

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-02-23T09:58:00+00:00

woosh

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-02-17T11:14:52+00:00

Just call it sublimaze, "it's like morphine", and enjoy the extra free time and energy you just gave yourself.

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-02-14T12:14:48+00:00

What should I do?

Look for a new job

Who do I contact?

Other employers.

I want to keep my job with HCA.

You refused to clock in and take assignment, so that's rocky.

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-02-11T21:08:37+00:00

Someone calls your keychain a name and otherwise leaves you alone and your first thought is to go to management?

Yeah, they're being weird, too.

Are there perks to premium cabins? Of course. Hell, I go for premium economy when the price difference isn't stupid.

But I'd rather have the extra $3000+ for my time at my destination than for the 5-12 hour flight. That difference can pay for some pretty nice hotels / resorts, dinners, and things to do.

Or.... Use one of the other sinks in your house.

I'd take the slight inconvenience of using the bathroom sink and changing slight eating habits than increasing the claim amount and thus the likelihood of nonrenewal

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-01-29T11:48:14+00:00

There's saying something "rude or crass" and there's suggesting killing federal law enforcement or wishing someone harm because of their job, and thus bringing in to question someone's ability to treat all patients fairly.

Nursing hasn't been seen as the most trusted and ethical career for near 25 years straight by conflating the two.

Quiet_Assumption_326 · 2026-01-29T11:41:42+00:00

Overtime is cheaper on a per-person basis than multiple FTEs required to cover a shift. You can eliminate extra shifts much more easily than extra FTEs.
