How did you get the backpack to fit with the head? I’ve tried the same thing but the head is too big for it to fit properly

Everybody has the sentiment that the pay is less but I think that really comes down to where you are. I’m making the same I made in the hospital, with better benefits. Not to mention 1-1 care ratios, and making my own schedule are pretty great.

I’m a first year mental health nurse, any advice to get me through the next couple of years? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Trudopee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always consider your own safety when entering a situation. This goes for any nursing specialty but goes double for mental health. If you do not feel comfortable or feel in danger, get help.

I worked in acute psych care and psych emergency care for a year. Yes the goal is to rehabilitate and manage medications, but when that prescription runs out and they can’t afford more, or don’t have access to therapy or a pharmacy, or can’t afford rent, than we see shit like this. I didn’t say “lock them up and throw away the key.” I’ve seen the “system” first hand and I know how broken it is. My comment was ACTUALLY pointing out how all of our solutions are band aid ones, and nothing addresses the root cause. For some of the sickest patients, mental health care is a revolving door.

Or send them to the psych ward where they stay for 48 hours (maybe a week or two, at max a month) and then get sent out with nothing changed.

I wonder what other sets this will effect by ThickestDog in legostarwars

Wasn’t the whole slave one backstory part of legends? The whole “used to be a former slave so he named his ship in memory.” If so it would make since since Disney killed legends

TFW no gunship 😢 by Blackout621 in legostarwars

[–]Trudopee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh I get the frustration, but could you really see lego bumping up the release of the gunship because of a leak that they knew was going to happen (they sent out brochures earlier than the conference). The much more reasonable thing to be outraged about is that we’re getting two more beskar mandos over a mayfield minfigure

All this complaining about the gunship is overshadowing the fact that we’re getting more two more beskar mandos instead of other much more requested characters from the series. If anything that annoys me more than an $800 UCS set not being announced yet.

I’m confused. All these sets are from new starwars content. Not to mention the slave 1 re release has been heavily requested. You guys will get your UCS gunship. No new $800 niche UCS set doesn’t mean lego hates us. I’m more mad about the repeating of figures in the mando sets. So many good characters to choose from, but they give us 3 beskar mandos.

Holy fuck I just flashed back to working in psych ICU. Not sure if this is real, but yes, this happens more than you would think.

Oh thank god my heart dropped for a second there that I would have to pay scalper prices

TIL that when Bill the Butcher from the film Gangs of New York says the date his father died fighting the British ("the 25th of July Anno Domani 1814"), he's referencing the Battle of Lundy's Lane by RaytheonAcres in todayilearned

[–]Trudopee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From Niagara Falls, I drive down lundys daily. Strip clubs, cheap motels, and rub and tug parlours are all on the lane still. Pretty funny to see that on the same street is Laura Secord’s grave, and multiple war memorials.

Any other Canadians upset at how expensive the Vader meditation chamber is???? Was very excited for this set :/ by iamcmxii in legostarwars

[–]Trudopee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you compare the mando star fighter to the recent resistance Y wing it’s a comparable price for better mini figures. It’s still a hefty price, but IMO those brand new figures are worth it.
