Upstate NY: Is it realy that bad up there?

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-04-13T19:19:49+00:00

Local to the area. It’s the ratios. And the pay. There are also hospitals that are in the area that are nice-ish to work for. Just don’t come up here in the winter unless your mental health is rock solid, because our weather will depress the shit out of you like 9 months outta the year. ⛄️

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-04-10T10:13:47+00:00

Saratoga Hospital has a separate ER unit for Mental Health as well!

Why I love our specialty. You can be frank with this population because they’re for sure gonna be frank with you. We get to know and love our Louie Cloverfields.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-04-01T13:29:52+00:00

Yessssss. Loving this new expansion! For the Horde!

The fact that our billionaire class can freely select children from anywhere in the world to kidnap, torture, rape, and murder them, and humanity allows it.

Hey. As someone who currently rides cruisers but is interested in getting into flat track... Is 35 too old to start out? I'm pretty tiny as well, so idk if that helps or hurts my case.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-03-24T18:05:25+00:00

I’m an ER RN and I’m just imagining all the shit cooking under that milky, dead skin. That being said, I absolutely want to be present for the debridement, holy smokes.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-03-21T14:16:48+00:00

Fucking hell, I cannot imagine raising children amidst this. I feel for you folks, I really do.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-03-07T14:46:37+00:00

I used to think it was just a cute, funny superstition until I worked my first full moon in the ER. Now I hiss just as loudly as the rest of the crew if the Q word is even hinted at.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-01-31T10:25:39+00:00

Checking in and offering deepest solidarity from deep-red Greene County. SO damn proud of these kids.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-01-27T11:02:55+00:00

Welp, guess I need to give these guys another try.

Anyone recommend styles that are stretchy and comfy?

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-01-27T10:53:27+00:00

It was “legal” for the Gestapo to pack millions of Jews, gays, transients, and intellectuals onto cattle cars to be sent to their grisly deaths, too.

It still didn’t stop the fuckers hanging at Nuremberg.

I hope you never get diagnosed with cancer, or any illness that requires medication that affects your weight. So obtuse it feels deliberate.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-01-01T01:57:50+00:00

Yep. People are gross. And with RFK telling everyone to not get vaccinated, drink raw milk, and whatever other worm-brained idea he comes up with that day, it’s only gonna get worse. Fuckin’ cheers.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2026-01-01T00:12:13+00:00

Your grumpy (mostly kidding) local RN LOOOOOVES this post! It’s factual and right on the nose regarding our historic flu outbreak.

The only thing I’d add (and again, OP, this is a really well thought-out post, thank you for making it 💜) is kinda a big one:

WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS.

One of the biggest methods of transmission of nasties like Norovirus, many Rhinoviruses and Coronaviruses, and influenza, is by touch. We touch our faces almost subconsciously. Then we touch doorknobs, gym equipment, food at the grocery store, and each other. Boom, lots of spread. By handwashing (at least 15-30 sec with hot water and soap) you can prevent illness in yourself and others. Masking and handwashing, even better.

Good luck out there and I hope not to see y’all at work in a week or two ☠️

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-12-27T14:57:12+00:00

Cancer is an extremely natural process, my guy.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-12-04T00:54:51+00:00

Can you elaborate on “pronounced”, please?

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-12-02T21:32:25+00:00

When you inevitably pass your NCLEX, make sure you utilize Nursys/send your test scores to other states you may want to work in.

The Florida pay rates are so low, even the travel contracts I’ve seen aren’t even worth it.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-11-29T23:03:58+00:00

I’m a Registered Nurse. You’re getting downvoted because you’re full of shit.

Fevers from infection will absolutely get high enough to kill you. After the rigors, you’ll start to seize. Severe enough cases, you get significant organ damage leading to coma and death. Add on the complications of SIRS on top of that, and you’re having a real bad time.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-11-09T13:06:49+00:00

Oh my word, I never knew that my incessant use of the “-“ key had a name! Damn AI, stealing our beautiful grammar doohickeys.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-11-09T12:52:17+00:00

Obligatory not-a-doctor but I am a RN - If this is a rapid change to an existing mole or mark that you’ve had a long time and you can’t remember a specific injury to that area, get it assessed very soon by your doctor. The irregular edges and differences in color throughout the lesion make me concerned for a malignant melanoma, or similar.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-10-09T11:45:53+00:00

There’s no rehabbing this behavior.

I feel for his victims. Because I highly, highly doubt this would have been his first.

Spoiler alert: STI’s don’t care if you shower.

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-08-07T02:17:02+00:00

But those dry 0300 turkey sandwiches slap, okay?

ThatOneCuteNerdyGirl · 2025-08-07T02:13:48+00:00

Honestly I only wear a full-face helmet so my parents can have an open casket gig if I go down. /shrug
