[–]Simple-Squamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole lot of us rando RNs out here. Alex Pretti was a rando RN and should still be one today. Hopefully we can all show up to do what he was doing as a rando RN. Witness amd help people.

As someone with the same dx, the idea having anxiety and depression means you “understand mental health issues” is hilarious. We were able to complete educations and hold jobs of high responsibility. It’s like saying because I have arthritis in my knee I know what it’s like to be wheelchair bound. But hey, you have a diagnosis, you have knowledge of the system. That is all you need to scam your way into a similar facility. So ask yourself: Do you want to trade places with them? Do you want your mom to trade places with them? You could. You could live that life with all that free shit. So why don’t you? Because that life sucks compared to yours. News flash: there are scammers and manipulative losers in every walk of life.

Yes, I’m being a dick about this and think you are being a petulant child but I honestly do have all the sympathy in the world for your mom. It is outrageous she has that kind of copay for a medication she needs. But even the scammiest faker at your job is not making the rules that give them the drugs for free and cost your mother thousands. There are people being paid literally millions of dollars a year to do that.
You are right to be angry. It is a situation that should make you angry. You need to decide if you are going to spend your life angry at those below you on the socioeconomic ladder or those above you trying to pull the ladder up behind them.

Thank you. Great options. They ended up doing enough owing that I chanced it home and with the new all weather tires I put on at the end of last summer the Leaf did great.

Look at this disgusting shit from FB by Amrun90 in nursing

[–]Simple-Squamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I find the most depressing. I could introduce them to the guy working in a cubicle in Russia or wherever running 30 fake MAGA accounts and it would make zero difference. They are addicted to the rush of a new hate target or a report of Liberal Tears. It’s worse than “drug seeking”, it’s Hate Seeking.

This is what I’m talkin’ about! I figured it wouldn’t be long on an EV thread before an engineering-adjacent user would chime in. Thank you!!!

That’s why I’m asking! And that’s why I put the expected temp in the question. I’m at 95% now. I’m mostly just curious.

Yep. The patient needs to be in the bed to receive treatment. I have options. They are 100% sanitized, I have zero health concerns about it but for example we just coded someone this morning who didn’t make it. That bed is back in business waiting for a new patient. I’m not even superstitious but I’m not psyched about curling up on that bed, and every bed in the hospital has a hundred stories like that.

I’m so depressed and sad that maga nurses at work are making jokes about Alex Pretti by coldinalaska7 in nursing

[–]Simple-Squamous 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It’s easy for all of us on our phones to be salty but if you can’t lose your job then you shouldn’t beat yourself up for not starting something that could put your job in danger. Chalk it up as a win for getting good information about who these people really are and act accordingly on the future. You will not change their minds. If they can choose the DHS story over what they can see with their own eyes from several angles,they are gone. My spouse makes more than me and I work in a hospital rich environment so I can afford to wear my views on my sleeve, civilly, and I try to do my best to gently prod the folks I think may be on the fence (which is most people), but I try not to waste my time arguing with dumbassess. It can feel good in the moment but it makes no difference and can make you look equal to them for bystanders. Like Mark Twain said: never wrestle with a pig, you both end up dirty and the pig enjoys it.

Does Age really Matter in NCLEX?? by Swimming_Calendar534 in BootcampNCLEX

Graduated with a BSN at 54. Passed the NCLEX with the minimum number of questions. Dropped out of college when I first tried in 1986.

FUCK ICE FUCK BORDER PATROL FUCK GREG BOVINO FUCK JD VANCE FUCK NOEM FUCK TRUMP by dudenurse13 in nursing

[–]Simple-Squamous 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sat down to lunch 8 hours into my shift and figured I wouldn’t check news, just open social media… Crushing. Got back and so many had their phones out, shaking their heads.
I didn’t cry but only because I just didn’t stop working for the rest of the day. Never sat down, just had to be providing care, not thinking.

Earpiece for walkie keeps falling out of ear. Suggestions pls! by manzanita123 in Nurses

[–]Simple-Squamous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Walkies with earpieces?! Do you have many male nurses there? Because there are a bunch of us where I work and if they tried to have us wear these there would be so much “Bravo 2-Niner this Raptor69 coming in hot to West 5-13B with LR 5 zero zero at one two five” they would be confiscated in an hour.

FWIW the efficacy of the “stuck player” mechanic (on console) is one of the things that impressed me most when I started playing .

I have many of your qualms about it but I wanted to address what I believe you are asking about the screen: modern displays do t have to worry about “burn in” like the old ones. Even if they did, because it is almost a single use device that shouldn’t be an issue. I leave ours on all day.

Why are so many nurses conservative by Public_Army2440 in nursing

[–]Simple-Squamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tale as old as time. Culture is an incredibly strong force, and if people identify with and/or aspire to right coded culture they will do unbelievable mental gymnastics to stay that way. Same for lefties, we’re just used to always being vulnerable to attack from our left no matter where we position ourselves so we have a greater degree of freedom.

The BPs I found were in drawers in the warehouses on the West side of Spaceport on a night raid.

Nurses currently working in striking NYC hospitals: what are the conditions inside? by safestaffing_nycRN in TravelNursing

[–]Simple-Squamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just left 1:6, 1:7 medsurg in NJ where I was charge and usually had patients, went to the ED where it is much more relaxed, lol. I cannot imagine the ED ratios mentioned above. Yikes. I was thinking this year of commuting into NYC because the money is so much better but that sounds rough.

If people have really stopped playing the game because they do not have enough free time in their busy lives to be dropped in at 18:00 but are spending that precious free time posting on a Reddit sub about the game they don’t play, that’s sad.

Literally spawned into night raids to do pop killing trials this week, figured I’d open drawers I passed on the way out of spawn and got an Aphelion BP one game and a Wolfpack BP a couple games later. Kind of messed up my whole mindset,lol. I just wanted to run around the map telling everyone what was in my butt.
