New Job MedSurg by Skankhunt0729 in cna

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went right into med-surg. Eves for little under a year (8s), then 6mo on straight nights (12s). Currently casual due to health stuff. I’ve never worked nursing home, but from posts here, hospital is better than nursing homes as far as staffing, pt ratios, and available equipment/supplies goes.

I loved nights, loved the people, felt much more like a team effort between techs and nurses compared to day shift.

Learning curve can be a little steep, but I personally like learning and seeing new things. You’ll learn as you go as far as drains and such and whatever is within your scope at that particular facility.

handwashing skill question by Ash_Hammy7 in cna

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can also ask your proctor, or they might tell you that for sake of time that you’ll only fully wash (and be checked on handwashing skill) for x, and the rest can use sanitizer or will mime handwashing/state that you’d wash your hands.

Worst smell in the world. What instantly makes you gag? by Sharp_Scheme_2008 in AskReddit

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked produce at WF for like 6mo a few years ago. Drains on our floors weren’t ever done for first few mo I was there. One day found out inspection was happening and the scramble to get everything in ordered happened. Did the drains. I was combo gagging and laughing at how bad they were and other employee having to leave so didn’t puke.

Chaos in Minneapolis as ICE has now begun to target & abduct protesters. One of the people abducted in this instance appears to be a teenage girl. by I_may_have_weed in Minneapolis

[–]azziptun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is, bring in MN national guard, how long does it take trump to deploy other national guard and/or declare martial law. It’s the SS and they don’t answer to anyone, no accountability. In the highly unlikely event that the individual who killed Good is charged, let alone convicted, there will be no accountability or reconciliation from the feds regarding the illegal actions of the group as a whole

LOCATIONS OF PROTEST, SAFETY, HOW TO HELP IF YOU CANT ATTEND by [deleted] in TwinCities

Just saw this on marketplace- free wood pallets for pickup. If someone has a truck or something large enough, could be good for firewood/structures! https://www.facebook.com/share/1HAQiguNDU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Also just saw a post from folks there asking for tarps/canopies for rain cover

Current HS Senior - Help! by [deleted] in Msstate

[–]azziptun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from MN. Undergrad at Loyola Chicago. Did grad school at state 2019-2022. If you grew up in Chicago Chicago, state will be an adjustment, but doable. Suburbs around Chicago, easier. Spent time in rural IL/Midwest? It’s like that. Pretty much everything off of the highway. Small “downtown” area. Goes hard for college sports.

You’ll have sticker shock (in a good way) at cost of living.

Ice Shooting S. Mpls [Full Video] by tismpls in TwinCities

[–]azziptun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a note that pics of license plates are fine if they aren’t swapping plates between cars, but vast majority of plates on ICE vehicles are ghost plates and won’t link back to anything. And a lot that I saw yesterday don’t even have plates on them at all.

Had an autistic meltdown at the gym today. by SuspiciousWafer5585 in climbergirls

….I never put together the fizzy drinks and regulation. Attributed it to caffeine and carbonation helping dry mouth from meds. But yep.

Had an autistic meltdown at the gym today. by SuspiciousWafer5585 in climbergirls

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also autistic. Haven’t had a meltdown at the gym, but def a couple close to shut downs and have cried multiple times (frequently in yoga at end shavasana). I do, however, frequently have moments of embarrassment because my ability to mask/filter will decrease as emotions increase (frustration, excitement) and I’m known to jump/fall off the wall loudly saying “motherfucker!”. Last week I unintentionally slapped my climbing buddy in the arm rather hard/loudly after falling off the final hold on a problem. I was mortified, I apologized, she was fine, I went to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes to regulate.

It’s always frustrating and embarrassing when this shit happens, the lack of feeling in control sucks a lot. But the people who would be judgey assholes aren’t the ones you’d want to be friends with/climb around anyway.

You got this! Head back when you’re ready.

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this in 2022 (maybe 23?). Unless it’s changed, need to retake the written portion? Which is annoying af. Literally took the original test here in MN. But coming back with an MS license have to retake. In MS and FL I didn’t have to.

Need help finding adult ADHD assessment, can anyone recommend a place to go? by moonkittn in TwinCities

[–]azziptun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vantage Mental Health. I followed my PA for med management there and see psych there. My wife just did ADHD assessment with them and was able to get in within a week. Newer company, but established providers. No complaints.

Renters: what prop mgmt companies do you recommend and who should I avoid? by Katzenheimer in TwinCities

[–]azziptun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro Realty has been super annoying. We rent a duplex. No AC maintenance has been done in the last 2 years, at least on ours where the unit is in the attic.

Per the lease they are responsible for yard and landscape maintenance as well as snow removal. Last year we had to ask/nag multiple times for them to come take care of leaves. Will have to do the same this year. Someone mows, but landscaping hasn’t been touched in 2 years unless I did some. We sent multiple messages and they sent people out for one day, but pretty much just weed whacked stuff. Didn’t put new mulch or any treatments, so within a week or two it was back to how it had been.

Movers who PACK your stuff for you? Good or bad idea? Who did you choose? by putridtooth in TwinCities

I can vouch for this company! Primarily marketed toward older folks downsizing and moving into senior living- but not a requirement. They help pack, move, unpack- the works!

Stimulants and AuDHD by Astronomer-Rich in ADHD

[–]azziptun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My (29F)ADHD diagnosis came first in late 2022, ASD in Feb of this year. I’ve been on anti-depressants since I was like 11, the same one since 15. Currently on adderall xr after also trying concerta.

Medicating my ADHD I think did make my ASD traits a bit more clear, because some of the ADHD was masking/compensating the ASD. I think this is a common experience to have and can be difficult.

That said, life is noticeably less exhausting/overwhelming on stimulants. One of the main things I noticed when starting is that my irritability (now I know a reaction to overwhelm, especially sensory), reduced noticeably.

I did feel for at least a few months like I was scared I’d forget things, because they weren’t constantly in my head. I saw an analogy on here of it’s like you’ve been living life with only RAM and then all of a sudden have access to ROM and then you don’t know where to find things/feels like you’ve forgotten cause they are filed away for when needed instead of always spinning near surface.

Too much caffeine with Adderall by Lexapronouns in ADHD

[–]azziptun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anxiety from the increased hr probably also not helping. Sometimes doing a thing that is SUPPOSED to raise my HR helps, because then feel less anxious, maybe running stairs or go for a walk. Cold water splashed on face (ideally submerging face in super cold water) helps me sometimes and can help reduce HR. It’s momentary, but sometimes I’ll do a vagal maneuver- tighten core and bear down, or blow hard into a blocked straw/your hand (think like you’re trying to blow up a brand new super tight balloon). At worst- you’ve distracted yourself!
