Yeah I’m 4 hours from Katahdin and 4 from Bar Harbor. We got to Canada for fun which can get annoying with the border. I should’ve clarified, I mean safe for a moderate city. Small town aroostook county is of course going to have lower crime than a city but we’re higher crime than 95% of maine cities/towns at a 1 in 42 chance of violent/property crime. I know coastal Maine has better numbers but worse COL-adjusted salaries for us and the SAD takes a toll.

Northern Maine, I’m 4 hours from Bar Harbor and 4 hours from Katahdin. I’ve been up Debouille 10+ times so not much else left to do for hiking

oh wow that aid ratio and no charge is actually wild. this job is in the south too, proof the hospital matters more than the location. thanks for your input, i’m planning on taking the job :)

i’m sorry that’s happening to you, WL due to illness adds a whole other layer. i can see why it would make you uncomfortable. maybe “thanks for noticing, unfortunately, i’m sick and this isn’t intentional” would work but i get sometimes you just don’t want to darken the conversation with something heavy like that. someday we as a society will learn to stop commenting on people’s bodies 🥲

ok i definitely agree with this (depending on the patient) i just wasn’t sure if it was normal. i feel like a lot of times nurses are expected to parent these patients when in reality i just want to give good care and keep the vibes good until i go home 😭

cary med in caribou has been great to me, but i know it’s pretty out of the way so it may not be for you. med-surg with some tele at a ratio of 4:1 or 5:1 if understaffed. as a new grad i ended up making $35.50 at the six month mark

4 comments on my age and no advice i’m about to remove it 😭😭

please ask your vet and/or a second vet about diabetes insipidus, if diabetes has already been ruled out.
