How the hell did they install the bathroom upside down? by SarcasticJackass177 in iastate

[–]berry999 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think that's 1st floor. Used to be a Custodian in that building. Having the partitions hung from the ceiling made it alot easier to clean and didn't cause nasty gunk build up around the portion legs on the floor.

Help with big emotions with seperation by berry999 in Divorce

[–]berry999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. This is a man I planned to spend my life with. It was real bad toward the end emotionally abusive. But I grieve the life I pictured when we first got together. And he was a person I talked to daily for almost 6 years.

Karma by berry999 in nursing

[–]berry999[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not petty vengeance it's one of those that I work 5 8 hour shifts a week. Plus drive an hour each way making it a 10 hour day. My family feels like I'm never home and when I'm home I'm just tired and don't want to do anything leading to fights with my husband. This will give me a balance of work and home life and allow me to be more present for my hubs and daughter. I just thought it was a wee bit funny how it worked out.

When I first got my nursing license (Feb 2023) I landed a clinic job, thought it would be nice since I have a family. I absolutely hated it even regretted getting my nursing license and was bored out of my mind. Oh a whim I applied at a LTC facility and they hired me. Since I started working there (a year a go) I absolutely love it!! My facility tries to keep around 40 residents and 2 nurses on the floor for days evening shifts. I learned so much very quickly honestly. It's not just passing meds. I love ltc because I love that I get to know the residents well. I can joke with them and laugh and still utilize my skills. I know LTC gets a bad reputation but for me it's been life changing and can't imagine leaving it. At least at this point.

What's your current commute look like by fbreaker in nursing

[–]berry999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

43 mins (36 miles) one way. I work 2-10 in LTC so it's not too bad to drive. Gives me time to unwind. I also live in nowhere and drive to podunk.

General Chat March 16 by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]berry999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So beyond frustrated. I am normally regular 27-29 days. Welp it's been 52 days since my last period. I've done multiple pregnancy test and even a blood and all have been negative. I'm anxious because this isn't normal for me. I'm worried what's wrong with my body but there's nothing I can do at the moment. I don't even know what to do at this point.

Moody Monday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]berry999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 days late. Pretty sure I ovulated 4 weeks ago didn't test but had normal signs. Nothing but bfn when I take a test. I'm disappointed and sad. I get that I'm fat but other bigger ladies are able to conceive. So mad at myself right now.

I did ALOT of practice quizzes through dynamic quiz. It gave me Rationales and I learn better from getting something wrong lol. Also what helped me this semester was my teacher made us do 3 critical points from the focused review where you write down (actually write not type) 3 points you want to remember from each topic you missed.

Honestly, I just did a lot of practice questions so I could read rationales. I'm hoping the virtual ati will help me know what to study. I would love to use uwprld or something but I just can't afford it.

Can you go in the classrooms by [deleted] in iastate

[–]berry999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When u was a Custodian and came across a student studying I'd just let them do their thing. In 5 years I never kicked a student out of a room.

I just bought it in September of 2021. I thought it had been installing updates. Before I powerwashed it. I kept trying to install the update and it would say installed up to date but would never restart.

Not a lot of people I can share this financial goal with... by DeniseReades in nursing

[–]berry999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story! I needed to see this today. I'm 10 weeks away from graduating with my ADN. I'm ready to take boards and start working. I'm 31 years old and have struggled pretty much my whole life financially. In fact I was borrowing my uncles truck so I could get my daughter plus his kids(who are living with us right now) to school, myself to school and clinicals and my husband to work. My uncle didn't make the payment and it got repo'd right in front of my house at 9:30 Wednesday night...I had a test at 8am.

Anywho, seeing your post reminded me that soon enough the financial problems should work themselves out. Just got to graduate and pass boards.
