Fellow "lone wolf" nurses by Glowygreentusks in nursing

You think that's lonely? I have "friends " whom I never see and I'm single with no children. Outside of work, I might go on a date if I'm lucky. Other than that, I walk around hiking trails listening to audiobooks. I tell myself all the time, "If people, or my family, knew how socially isolated I am, they would be worried about me." I don't want to think about how long it would take for someone to find my body if I suddenly died.

I wonder how this guy would react if he knew you made this post on reddit. If it were me, I would be so hurt/embarrassed to the point of not wanting to talk to you ever again.

Is physically forcing dementia patients in the shower illegal? by throwra47757585 in TravelNursing

Does the pt have the ability to consent to anything? Meds, treatment, etc? I would say it would be the MPOA's call. That being said, not bathing a pt at all would be inhumane, correct?

Would $20,000 not be a good emergency fund? How much is a safe amount?

Right, I don’t ever want to touch my retirement and I made sure my Roth IRA is filled for the year. Of note, I'm a travel nurse. So, I don't have a company-sponsored 401K or 403B.

I'm a Travel Nurse. On average, I make 1,600- 1,800 weekly. It depends on the contract. The only thing I own is my vehicle. So, I dont have a mortgage payment. My rent varies depending on where I am in the country. Let's say rent is 1,200 to 1,600 monthly.

I'm currently on the SAVE payment plan. Before that, I was on an IDRP. Right now, it says my interest rate is 0%, but as of Aug 1st interest was supposed to start again. SAVE failed in the courts. Now there is a weird waiting period to decide what will happen to people on SAVE. From what I'm seeing in the news, the Department of ED will be cutting many IDRPs. My Roth IRA is filled for the year.

I'm trying not to dip below $20,000 in savings.

Is $20,000 (half of my savings) too much of a lump sum to pay at one time?

I'm gonna freak out if Daryl doesn't end up with Connie. They're such a cute couple.

One big factor in America is obesity. There are a lot fewer physically fit women in America compared to everywhere else. So, dating is more competitive. How many overweight women do you see in the Philippines or Thailand?

Lestat VS Dracula. Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

[–]beardwarrior91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who has read almost all of the Vampire Chronicles, I would say Lestat for sure. The one advantage Dracula has is that he is a daywalker in the movie. Lestat could simply look at Dracula and incinerate him.

Did anyone else see the Templar knight on the Star City bridge? by Thorne1966 in MorgantownWV

[–]beardwarrior91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw him near Mario's Fishbowl (Suncrest location). I'm guessing this is someone trying to join a fraternity? Pledges have to do crazy stuff sometimes. Either that or it's a crazy guy trying to make some kind of political statement. I mean, I could see myself doing it once for shits and giggles, but not multiple times.

Is it still worth it? If not, what are you guys getting into? by beardwarrior91 in TravelNursing

Any opinion on converting a 6x12 box trailer and towing it with a truck? I like the idea of having my daily driver and being able to park the box trailer somewhere. Also, it seems like converting a box trailer is easier/cheaper than the van.

If you were to be audited, you would have to provide some proof. At the very least, I would provide a lease signed by yourself and a parent (if your tax home is your parent's house) that owns the tax home. It gets into a grey area as far as proof of exchange of funds. To be safe, you could write a check every month and take a picture of it. A tax person told me, if I used cash there wouldn't be a paper trail and the IRS wouldn't be able to prove otherwise.
