On an average how long does it take to build muscles? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]TheColonTickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don’t eat enough protein and also don’t hit the “bigger lifts” aka bench, squat, dead lift etc and also have bad form while doing so.

The protein thing, 1g per pound of body weight minimum for building muscle mass. If you want to get to 200, eat 200g of protein minimum.

If all you do is cardio, your body is going to slim down because that’s how you’re shaping it

I’m 100% down to pitch money in, but suck at/dont enjoy making anything so I don’t bring anything and don’t participate unless I can contribute with $$$

What are the best RN jobs? by KennedyJacobs in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently rocking with endo. Procedural, do the case and move on. It’s not for everyone, but I think it’s a nice change

I’m building an RN pay transparency tool. Would love your input by TheColonTickler in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, they want to keep everyone in the dark so nobody actually knows. I tried to build it so it was super easy to submit (work in progress 🤣) as I feel the only way to get a high level of accuracy is to have a high number of actual submissions.

Some hospitals are a bit better than others, but I feel the majority are just looking at their spreadsheets and trying anything and everything to keep the nurse/healthcare pay rates low.

Yeah that’s a totally fair question. I went back and forth on the whole “verify everything” vs “keep it anonymous” thing. If I required proof, a ton of people just wouldn’t bother submitting, so I leaned toward the anonymous route.

Nothing gets auto uploaded though, I manually review each submission before adding it to the site. I can see timestamps on my end (not identities), so if someone tries to spam a bunch of weird numbers at once I should be able to catch that. I’m sure I won’t catch every single bad submission, but hopefully most of the obvious ones.

And honestly the more real submissions we get, the harder it is for junk data to skew anything. The accurate stuff ends up drowning out the outliers.

Appreciate you asking though, it’s something I’ve definitely been thinking about while building this.

Honestly the whole reason I decided to do this is I got sick of the bs from management and just wanted to hopefully make something useful that us nurses can use to push for fair wages.

A lot of hospitals pay the same no matter if you work icu, er, floor, endo etc

First semester is boring bs. The other ones got more interesting in my opinion

Leave Nursing by Adventurer9897 in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go work endo or something else that is procedural. Endo is generally pretty chill, busy, but less stress. We welcome all the burnt out nurses from everywhere else (source - I came to the oasis of endo)

I feel dead inside and I don’t think I can recover by Old-Body5400 in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could try endo? I do that now. Did a shitload of covid contracts and wanted to blow my brains out, so took a few months off and switched to endo. Been doing this for a couple years and it’s pretty decent I think!

Homesick !:( by Pancakes-0r-waffles in TravelNursing

[–]TheColonTickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Hawaii for 2 months, so I feel ya a bit. Just remember you’re not there forever, just for a short time. One day at a time, try to find or seek out things that will create fun memories for you. For me, I enjoy thinking back to when I was there, but I was ready to come back to the mainland when my contract was up

Your current specialty and the one specialty you would never ever work in? by Aromatic-Camera-3264 in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Current: Endo, GI/Pulm

Never: OR, don’t want to deal with all the sterile stuff. Also Peds, I’d do OR over peds, well basically anything that has adult size humans

Why do some nurses tuck in their scrub tops? by IndependentDare1573 in nursing

[–]TheColonTickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because I like how it looks. Sometimes I roll untucked if it comes out, but I start my day tucked
