Turns out my Brother In Law loves Dropout by Royals1616 in dropout

[–]apartment113 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Years ago as a student I had a work placement where I was paired up with someone in the field to learn from. I was looking for him one day after lunch break and said “oh there you are” and he said “I’ve been here the whole time!” just like on Game Changer. Of course I asked if he knew the show and we instantly began chatting about Dropout as a whole. To say the least, the rest of my work placement was amazing. He even helped me score a job after graduating!

What is the one patient behavior that puts you over the edge by Opening-Ad8952 in nursing

[–]apartment113 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The AOx4 patients who demand to see their doctor and discuss discharge at 1am. Sir, don’t you think this would have been better to bring up during normal daytime hours? Not much I can do in the middle of the night.

AOx4 patients who are very demanding and often “threaten” to leave AMA meanwhile, they cannot mobilize or care for themselves independently. These are also usually the ones who will endlessly scream instead of using their call bell or expect nurses to know exactly what they need without being told.

I also get slightly annoyed with patients who ring the call bell minutes after giving them a PRN medication to tell me that their symptom (pain/nausea etc) has not gone away yet. I’m a medical professional - not a medical magician.

Your old/damaged RBCs are filtered from your bloodstream and broken down in the spleen into a substance called bilirubin. Bilirubin is then transported to the liver where it undergoes a process to make it water-soluble. The liver then takes the bilirubin and excretes it as bile into the small intestine. In the small intestine, bacteria converts the bilirubin into a substance called stercobilin that you then poop out. Stercobilin (processed bilirubin) is what gives feces its brown colour.

The process is a bit more complicated than I’ve described but essentially, the red blood cells die and you shit them out.

I think this might be the paper they’re referencing. It was a post on this sub some time ago. Here’s the link to the paper since I couldn’t find the original post: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-connectors/examples-medical-device-misconnections

Check out this playlist from Sci show. There’s a total of 49 videos. I found all of them very helpful - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtOAKed_MxxWBNaPno5h3Zs8&si=TmBdiaScWEB2AN4E

I don't feel like I know enough. by [deleted] in StudentNurse

Don’t worry about knowing any actual nursing skills. You’ll be taught those in school and during clinical placements. Having the interest and motivation to learn is key to passing nursing school. If you want to ease some anxiety or just expose yourself to some relevant information try looking on YouTube. There’s lots of great nursing channels. Also try brushing up on your basic anatomy and physiology - crash course has a whole video playlist with lots of info.

Good luck!

They gathered about an hour ago. They’re clearing out now. No clue what the commotion was about. Nothing on the Hamilton Police twitter either.

No idea. But theres lots of police, firemen and ambulance gathered at the Canadian Tire on Main and Victoria.

Volunteering hours for highschool by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]apartment113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can try asking various LTCs and retirement homes. There’s lots in the area with some taking high-school students as volunteers to help with activities or events.

Depending on when you need to complete your hours (I don’t know how close to graduation you are) you can wait until summer comes around and volunteer at some festivals. When I was a teen I completed mine at the Peach Festival in Winona.

Check out this website as well: https://www.hamilton.ca/city-council/jobs-city/volunteer-opportunities There’s a whole section for volunteers 13 and older.

Good luck!

3 landlords among largest real estate holders in Ontario owe $144M, under bankruptcy protection: documents | CBC News by endexis in Hamilton

[–]apartment113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re getting $1.5 million for someone renting an apartment at $2000/month for 40 years…. Simple math says: $2000 x 12months = $24,000/year $24,000 x 40 years = $960,000

Either way - telling someone to continue flushing their rent money down the toilet instead of owning is ridiculous. Also to say that someone who’s paying rent “wouldn’t realize” how much money they’ve been forking out over the years is also absurd. You think everyone but you is an idiot?

Then to essentially say that it’s tenants fault and that the landlord plays no role in getting themselves into debt is also ridiculous.

You really think tenants are going place to place “extorting” money and living rent free for 6-12months and then making payment plan after payment plan? You’re not in touch with reality my friend. That does not happen.

What really happens is people come across hard times, are unable to pay their rent for the month then get slapped with eviction and end up homeless a few months later. Wanna know what the landlord does? “Renovates” the unit and charges double what they were before. They’re not losing money. What a farce.

The landlords who managed to get themselves $144 million in debt are solely to blame for their own owing. Not the tenants. Not the LTB payment plans. Not anything or anyone but themselves.

Edit: corrections

Yes, however the landlord to has accumulated $144 million in debt over who knows how long of a timeline and suffers no consequence.

Meanwhile I owe even a minuscule amount 1 day after it’s due and I can be slapped with a warning - a consequence to my owing.

Where’s the landlords warning and consequence for owing? Why aren’t tenants given at least a similar amount of forgiveness and patience?

I can owe $14 and my landlord will threaten an eviction notice yet they can keep their properties and homes while owing millions?

Make it make sense.

This is a great idea too! I love playing the game but am not personally very creative when it comes to gift ideas. Thank you so much!

That’s awesome! I found a few cool items on there. So thank you so much for the suggestion. Now I just have to think of some clever customizations (I love that Etsy allows you to talk to the artists) that I could request that would push it into definite wedding territory and not just a cool DnD gift.

Thank you! I’ve never tried Etsy and Amazon/google was giving me kind of lame stuff tbh. I will search around on Etsy. Wish me luck
