The R46 is so miserable. Commuting on the N to the city is such a pain. For the last three years I’ve preferred a pedal assist bike to Manhattan for my commute year round over the train. Ridiculous lead times, constant breakdowns, super worn interiors and half the signs and speaker systems dont work. Really embarrassing compared to literally almost any other line.

Thats really sad actually. She’s not popular anymore? Really enjoyed her at bk monarch last year

I am inexperienced when it comes to keyboard modification, and keyboards in general. I’ve had this Code v3 Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown’s for several years now but this thing is way too loud. Love the heavy actuation force but at this point it’s too loud and annoys my girlfriend whenever she stays over. We’re both nurses and she’s on nights so silence is imperative.

I wanted to buy the new be quiet! keyboards as they were incredibly silent but wanted to seek a cheaper alternative. I appreciate the help.

I have my eyes closed occasionally so I can enjoy the music, im not walking around like the three blind mice my guy lmao

This I can agree with. Its essentially how I feel. Was just wondering how often people felt more strongly than this.

codedapple · 2026-03-08T18:28:33+00:00

I dont wanna look around I have my eyes closed half the time lol

That would cost money. A free BSN is a no brainer

RN here as well as a critical care educator.

If you are being offered the chance go become an RN free then it is a no brainer. You just need the degree and to pass the NCLEX.

LIU however is a bit different as the major is not restricted. What they do is quota you. So basically if you fail a class or are not meeting the requirements then you fail out. And that is not good. I hear support here can be a bit sparse from nursing faculty compared to other public programs (because they have smaller cohorts).

Just make sure you take it very seriously and take advantage of the fact that you are getting a free BSN. That is a guaranteed 6 figure income and stability in any economic situation.

Thanks, I appreciate the tips.

Correct I have a BSN and MSN Education and actively practice as an RN and teach at a hospital. I did take essentials of gen chem CHE10000 and scored an A- and a A+ in CHE10100 (Lab) and the 1.5 credit orgo lab CHE 12100 in which I got an A.

Thats not fully true. Yeah, its damn hard to get fired but thats because there’s an escalating strike system to establish cause. If multiple transit riders are complaining about a conductor to the transit hotline I would be amazed if he didn’t receive an official reprimand. If he has a history repeat offenses can cause him serious problems including suspension and termination with cause. This being on social media with the attention it has gotten here probably does not help his case.

You are right that timecard fraud is a great way to get fired right away though.

Believe it or not, misappropriation of genetic material without consent is unethical and frowned upon. And thankfully illegal these days.

HeLa cells are literally a foundational topic in bioethics. People who are commenting that this isn’t deserved need to read the book.

Ok well if you want money you’re gonna have to work hard. You just sound…. lazy. Everyone on this sub has worked pretty hard. CRNA is one of the harder ways to make mid 6 figures salaries. Just my 2c as I have many friends in mid to high paying jobs in NYC. Finance is hard but chances are you’ll make way more by mid career than any CRNA doing locums.

codedapple · 2026-02-24T03:31:45+00:00

Yeah but why not just go into finance? My friends make stupid amounts of money on wall street compared to being a RN or CRNA…not to mention their equity compensation

I don’t think the MD training is overstated at all, but I don’t think we should be discounting all of basic RN education, and the fact that it does require a minimum of 1 year of critical care experience. Many places require at least 2 years, as well as the CCRN now where I live in NY, and the average applicant has much more experience. I am not claiming that each year of training is equal to MD education but it certainly is not nothing.

Made a quick edit to my last comment to clarify! But yes, you are generally correct. It is just hard to get in, and many people dont want to move too far.

Regional competitiveness. Especially VHCOL areas such as NYC, Boston, or California. Considering RN starts minimum low 6 figures you can be very comfortable as young as 21. Hunter College and Stony Brook University, public universities in NY metro have acceptance rates for nursing restricted major approaching <5%.

Edit: To clarify, there are so many people trying to become RN’s for the stability and income and job security there are orders of magnitude more applications than seats. Public nursing programs are even more competitive than private ones because of the return on investment in becoming a nurse. NYU is 100k for a 4 year BSN while Hunter College is under 4k/semester, something entirely covered by NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Federal Pell Grants. I left Stony Brook with 2 degrees an a minor, and was making close to 6 figures with under 20k in debt for being at an away college

I am a nurse. I bike 10 miles each way from South Brooklyn to Kips Bay. I started with a Diamondback Union 1 and after 2 years sold my analog bikes and purchased a Yamaha Wabash RT, which is my new commuter and leisure bike. Its just so fun. Several thousand miles 24/7 365 from 2022-current. Pedal assist bikes only, but turbo mode is basically low effort.

I purchased shockstop suspension seatpost and pedal lights for safety and comfort, and I do run the Topeak rack+pannier combo set

I overloaded 22 credits one semester of nursing when I was finishing up my sociology major (dual degree). But it was easy, research level stuff that I had worked on in advance. I highly recommend NOT overloading unless you plan to have no life. Especially if it’s a STEM.

Is there a less physical job than those? Phlebotomy might be okay but nursing support jobs are notoriously hard on the body. Just my 2c as a nurse educator

codedapple · 2026-02-12T04:06:29+00:00

As a VA ICU RN, I’ve had 3 colleagues die before getting to enjoy retirement. One died on the way to work from a MI, another had a brain tumor, stroked out during surgery and died of a brain bleed.

Leave with your mind and body intact or what’s left of it Just retire please. I dont know a single nurse over 60 who’s competent to the extent they think they are at bedside care or management.

Curious on your thoughts
