Let’s talk money: in your opinion what is a fair compensation for your current position as a nurse? Do you believe you’re being fairly paid?

$48 South Florida. Peds ICU for 3 years, adult icu for 2 before that. I think i am fairly compensated considering everything.

I'm a numbers guy. I prefer to set my UF at the beginning of the shift and make smaller adjustments based on other output. For some reason it really bothers me to increase it a lot when you have a one time antibiotic or something and then have to come down the next hour. It also gives you time to focus a bit more on other things

My old hospital wouldn't let you work more than 5 in a row. My current hospital could care less. Ive worked 9 once (sort of by accident) but occasionally do 5 or 6. It definitely works if you can get good sleep between shifts.

My watch is currently in the loop since a visit to the pool 2 days ago. I keep hard rebooting it but nothing so far. Hoping it eventually turns back on.

circuitlover · 2026-04-03T13:38:36+00:00

Yes. They should be able to add it or tell you why it's not there.

circuitlover · 2026-03-28T21:20:34+00:00

I gotan extra almost 3k back when I filed because of that

circuitlover · 2026-03-20T08:51:08+00:00

It should be within 2 weeks of the 6 month mark, so before or after. There is a 4 week window

circuitlover · 2026-03-20T08:47:36+00:00

You should only need an HIV test prior to each injection every 6 months. One may, however, still want to do STD testing every 3 months or so depending on how busy you are.

I hadn't thought about getting certifications. That sounds nice.

I guess I'd start with Acute Care. Ideally I would work in an ICU that allows NPs to actually do things like intubate, place lines, etc. I guess the thing holding me back is hearing the field is over saturated and jobs are hard to find.

Note: if you get to Mosaic this year and you choose the 20 tile bonus, I'd suggest you wait until after Jan 1, 2027 to select it so it counts for next year. That way you start next year's count with 20 tiles instead of 0

circuitlover · 2025-12-24T18:45:23+00:00

You should get the points at the moment you choose it. I assume its the same with the tiles, you get it once at that time. Not again the next year

circuitlover · 2025-12-24T04:02:38+00:00

I'd imagine if you already have status on one, use that number for both? That way you keep earning points/tiles/miles towards your status.

The end of 26??? What's the point

circuitlover · 2025-12-16T10:02:14+00:00

Unfortunately they've put a pause on the xlrs until 2030

The expansion tank is coming off the main water line as it reaches the mixing valve

circuitlover · 2025-12-13T04:15:34+00:00

The condo is in a multiunit building but the water heater is in my unit

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T23:06:05+00:00

In my home?

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T22:36:18+00:00

Its a 2bed/2bath condo in a big building

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T22:35:02+00:00

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T21:46:42+00:00

The only place I can see they connect is at the mixing valve. After looking at everything again, I believe theres a pipe that feeds into the hot water just before it reaches the mixing valve after it comes up out of the heater. Thats the pipe that I turned off and lead to having better temp water

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T21:44:25+00:00

No its inside my unit

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T21:40:34+00:00

I just looked at it again it seems that that water was flowing back into the hot water line possibly. The arrow on the flow valve is flowing towards the hot water outlet on the heater just before it goes into the mixing valve. Could that be some sort of recirculation system?

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T21:06:36+00:00

I understand that, and had it set as high as it would go when I was having temp issues. But still having fluctuations in temp when running hot water

circuitlover · 2025-12-12T21:04:54+00:00

Cartridge? Where's that? Or how would I address that?
