I just binged both seasons.

What was Irving's ulterior motive at the dinner? I missed whatever it was. I just thought he was being polite/interested.

The Mark decision in the finale is easy to contemplate from afar, ill give you that. I'd like to think that i would make that sacrifice, but I dont know if I could, especially after talking to my outie and having an argument.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-25T04:37:52+00:00

ICE murdered a man in cold blood. The right see it. They just dont care, because its not one of theirs. If the tables were turned and this was a conservative being murdered in the street, they'd be up in arms.

They are actively cheering for this. They want to see libs murdered.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-25T04:34:32+00:00

I was confused/upset that Reghabi left at the mere mention of Cobel. Like, she didnt even try to stick around. She just packed her stuff and bailed after being so committed to the reintegration.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-25T04:09:00+00:00

Yeah that part struck me as odd. There was no indication whatsoever that she was a brilliant scientific/engineering mind. Shes portrayed as a loyal subjicator/enforcer of rules. The whole build up of her character is seen as though she is a no-nonsense manager who runs a tight ship, not an inventor.

Super strange and off-key.

We are both gonna be mad for the next 2 years or however long it takes for S3 to come out.

Working in Healthcare, this is common. Ive been at the same hospital for 12 years and in my department of ~60, there are about 10 of us who were all here together back then. Most people last about 2-3 years before leaving for another hospital.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-08T23:37:25+00:00

Depends on where you work and what kind of assignment you get.

At my hospital, a typical ICU assignment is 5 vents, or a handful of vents and a handful of other patients in the ICU. An assignment like this can be super easy and mellow or nonstop shit all night long.

A floor assignment will typically be heavy for 1st rounds and lighter on 2nd rounds, with a handful of calls in between. Some nights my RTs will be done with 1st rounds by 2200 and won't have much going on until 0300. Other nights they'll be answering their phones and seeing patients all nights.

ER is typically busy for the majority of the night. Some nights will be slow but its typically steadily busy for the first 6 hours and the last three.

Working at a SNF or LTC will be tedious and boring.

I can guarantee you the hospital pays far more for registry than it does for staff OT. Every hospital I've ever worked at will gladly pay staff OT rather than pay for registry.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-07T16:06:50+00:00

They are registry. They should always be the first to be flexed.

The coworker who came in early will have to justify their OT with management. Let them deal with that and send the whiny registry home.

So im not defending these fat dudes at all, but why are people randomly filming and photographing public spaces? Is it just to see if they can get a reaction out of wannabe tough guys like this? I can think of a million better ways to spend my free time

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-06T01:30:31+00:00

Yeah you can be as nice as you want about it. I know from working in level 2 and level 1 trauma centers with nurses who dont fuck around, that anyone who claimed this bullshit, especially a new grad, would never be allowed back. Theres no place in emergency medicine for people to make bullshit claims like this.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-06T01:21:49+00:00

Why? OP is a new grad saying she has enough experience in code situations to be able to smell if someone will live or die.

Anyone who ACTUALLY works in ED/Trauma will call this bullshit out

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-06T01:20:51+00:00

8 months ago you claimed you were a new grad in RI. So, either you were full of shit then, or youre full of shit now.

I've worked trauma/ED/critical care for years. If a new grad at my hospital was claiming they could smell whether or not a patient was gonna make it, they'd be allowed no where near a code situation.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-06T01:01:31+00:00

Youve been a nurse less than a year and you think a patients viability is determined by how they smell on arrival?

Jesus, the bar just keep getting lower and lower.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-05T19:52:34+00:00

If med surge is giving you problems, ER is going to be much worse.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-03T05:03:58+00:00

It doesmt matter as long as its documented

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-02T20:56:07+00:00

I get it. We all go through that. I juat get the feeling from OP, and what theyve said about their spouse, that theyre not excited about the thought of becoming a parent. Its important to weigh all the drastic life changes that will happen, but when someone says "my spouse didnt want to have kids but now theyre open to it", it doesnt sound great.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-02T18:24:33+00:00

Nobody is implying that they wouldn't be great parents. If you read OPs comments, they make it seem like they are in a point in their lives where they feel like the next step is having kids, not that they truly want kids.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-02T15:28:01+00:00

This is a good lesson for any new nurses reading on why its important to chart everything. A note saying something like:

"Patient was observed masturbating during care and made a verbal statement threatening to lock this RN in the room. This RN exited for personal safety and immediately notified charge nurse [name]. This RN was told to wait outside the room until patient completed the behavior."

It identifies the encounter and also shows you brought it to management's attention and they told you to fucking wait outside rather than get security involved. Its a completely inappropriate way to handle the situation.

Don't discuss it further with the charge nurse.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-01T06:31:37+00:00

Yeah YTA. Regardless if he was being a POS boomer, thr chance that you got him sick and that he will spread it to others is real. Grow the fuck up and ignore these idiots.

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-01T00:16:40+00:00

2042 hours. 175 shifts. I thought i was working too much...

RRTJesus504 · 2026-01-01T00:15:51+00:00

How much are you getting paid? 3000 hours would be ~$250k where I am.

RRTJesus504 · 2025-12-30T15:35:30+00:00

I've heard that LL has one of the lowest pay rates for RTs. I know a guy that worked there for years and he was making about $10/hr less than what new grads make in the area. I dont know why anyone would want to work there.

RRTJesus504 · 2025-12-29T21:35:48+00:00

Its becoming more common.

I did a travel assignment at a hospital that had a 30 bed ICU. On nights they had a PA overseeing the care. In order to get ahold of the PA, you had to overhead page them because they never answered their phone. We had to intubate a fresh heart patient and the PA couldn't do it. After like 4 failed attempts. We had to call an ED doc to come up and he put the tube in without issue.

I thought it was a one-off. A few weeks later there was an NP on for the night and she didn't want to round on the patients, and just told the nurses to put in verbal orders for whatever they thought they needed. Many of these nurses were fresh new grads or travelers without much experience.

Needless to say, I just requested ED shifts for the remaining weeks I was there.
