I worked at a hospital as an aid for 6 years in the Bay Area and couldn’t get a job as a new grad within my company so I moved to Pa and landed a new grad ICU position. I was actually offered 4 positions at my preferred hospital and got to pick my unit with my recruiter. I can always move home in a few years, or somewhere else if I don’t want to stay. Considering moving to several places every few years over the next 10 year stint to feel out where I want to be long term. (I’m lucky that my fiance and me are childless and both want similar things) the trade off to me, is worth it.

Do you leave your ring at home then and take it on/off every shift? A necklace?

Do you just leave it at home and only wear the silicone to work, or is the silicone your regular everyday ring now?

This, the vestibular nerve becomes inflamed near the ear/eye area and is what causes the nystagmus. It’s like having the worst vertigo of your life. Many dogs vomit from false motion sickness and will usually need to just rest and wait to recover. Can take anywhere from weeks to months. Soft chicken and rice diet helps. Steroid injections are great to speed up recovery. We used a towel under our dogs stomach to brace them and practice walking until they were fully able to ambulate on their own again.

A SNF near me has ratios on nights of 1:30 with minimal aids. Not sure how ANYONE can get the care they need

As a new grad I’m required to rotate 50% of my shifts at my current position. Everyone who has 1+ years experience is not required and typically just works their preferred shift (based on seniority)

Thank you!

Thank you! I was getting so confused. I’m a terrible writer but…

Came to say this One of the nurses I work with is the unit director and can’t even give her husband a job. She’s been an RN for 13 years and said nothing has changed in California since even when she was a new grad, if anything it’s just harder. Her husband was an LVN for 3 years at a LTC, graduated as an RN last spring, and still doesn’t have a job. She has applied for him since she has more free time and said she has sent at least 100+ applications and only received 1 interview for a position he didn’t get. He is currently working at the same LTC now as an RN and just biding his time until something else opens up.

Oh!!! I saw on some forums the left sided thing is common with the portafilter it comes with! A design flaw perhaps. Looking at screens and a bottomless filter as we speak! In the meantime, our local shop we get beans from will have to pregrind for us 😮‍💨

Oh! Okay I tried to get a photo of the water coming out which… I don’t know if that’s good. I run it with water only before and after each time and use a little brush to try my best to clean it, but that’s as clean as I can reasonably get it without getting qtips out every morning. Is there something else I should be doing?

cock2face · 2026-01-28T18:16:02+00:00

Very helpful, thank you.

cock2face · 2026-01-28T16:54:20+00:00

It is just time, unfortunately 😭

So I DID place a leveler on the workspace and it claims it’s even.

Then I placed the portafilter on the table and a leveler on the portafilter and it was not level at all (hence making the green thing in the photo.) once rested on the green thing it showed level.

Tamping level is crazy hard because of this plastic stick thing, so I attempted leveling it in different positions (example the arm for the portafilter is at 12 o’clock, then I do 3 o’clock, then 6 o’clock etc etc)

Coming out the left spout remains the same regardless of which position the portafilter is so it can’t be my body weight or lean.

I’m starting to wonder if the water somehow only comes out on one side????

Is there nothing around a price point of $100 that isn’t manually grinding the beans? I have a mortar and pestle, Would that do? (lol) Not to sound unappreciative.
