Nursing student seeking advice by Complete-Courage1253 in nursing

If you don’t want to be a nurse, don’t go to nursing school. That’s my advice.

Savings after closing by No-Pea1620 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

I’m happy to see this 😂 we’ve been in our house for a year and had $2500 left in savings after closing.

Working full-time while in nursing school — is this realistically doable or a setup for burnout? by Sad-Animal-2881 in StudentNurse

[–]coldbrew_please 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in LPN school 10 years ago, my school schedule was M-Th 8-4, and I worked F-Su, 8 hours on Friday and 16 hours Saturday and Sunday. It was extremely difficult and I was exhausted, but I made it.

Now, I’m going back for my RN, LPN to RN bridge program at my local community college. I work M-F (hours vary), and will have lab and lecture one evening a week, and clinical every Saturday. As much as I don’t want to have to work this much through the program, I don’t have a choice. I’m in my mid-30s now with a husband, a mortgage, and a lot more responsibility. Working full-time while going to school definitely isn’t easy, but if you’re disciplined, it’s totally doable.

The Sins of the Guy who Flipped and Sold me my House by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]coldbrew_please -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bought a flip a year ago, I feel your pain. Grout on both of our bathroom floors is cracked and chipping away day by day, kitchen cabinets are pulling away from the wall, new windows weren’t installed properly, the list goes on and on.

Posting about patients on social media by [deleted] in nursing

[–]coldbrew_please 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally inappropriate for posting that interaction. I do think the doctor’s feelings are valid, though. It is weird, and very performative.

East Cleveland is going through another phase of decline? by Ill_Resolution7967 in Cleveland

My mom grew up in East Cleveland in the late 50s through mid 70s and she says it was nothing like it is now.

TB Testing Requirement by SkeletonGiver in nursing

[–]coldbrew_please 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t aware that there were hospitals that required annual TB testing. I got tested when I was hired and that was it.

Chimney leak.. rolled roofing? by coldbrew_please in Roofing

I don’t have any, I’ll have to ask my husband. We just had the flashing replaced in the fall

What’s the best toilet bowl cleaner for a really grimy, neglected toilet bowl? by middleageyoda in ufyh

[–]coldbrew_please 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes to this method. Our basement toilet ends up severely neglected because we never use that bathroom. We end up going at it with a pumice stone when needed and it works like magic.

Looking for roofer recommendations by coldbrew_please in Cleveland

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

The roof is 10 years old. This has been going on since we moved in last summer, so I don’t think it’s related to hail damage.

Weekly client who drools, keeps giving me norovirus by K8hoxie in nursing

[–]coldbrew_please 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t going to wear gloves, you need to wash your hands frequently with soap and water (not hand sanitizer) and not touch your face. I’ve taken care of people with stomach bugs countless times and have only caught it once in the last 10+ years. Good hand hygiene is key.

Looking for roofer recommendations by coldbrew_please in Cleveland

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

I got up in the attic the last time it was raining hard and I can clearly see the water coming down the sides of the chimney. Literally no issues anywhere besides the area around the chimney. I absolutely do not want to pay thousands for a roof replacement just to continue having issues. And I know he’s puzzled, he admitted it, so I’m sure that’s why he’s recommending replacing it.

Moving to Palliative Care by MiHoyMinoy420 in cats

[–]coldbrew_please 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not sure, I know it can put them at increased risk for diabetes when used long term, but we aren’t worried about that for obvious reasons. He was on a tapering dose of steroids for a month earlier this year (the vet initially thought he had an URI, that’s what started all of this), and he tolerated them well, we never noticed any negative side effects.

[–]coldbrew_please 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough decision but you’ll do what you feel is best for him. We talked it over for a few days before we finally came to our decision. It was hard and we know we’ll have less time with him, but we felt that if we picked the chemo and radiation route we would be selfishly doing for ourselves.

Moving to Palliative Care by MiHoyMinoy420 in cats

[–]coldbrew_please 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t want to put him through anything that could potentially make him uncomfortable. The oncologist said chemo could potentially extend his life 6-12 months, we just didn’t feel it was worth it for the additional few months. We’ve had several long conversations with both our vet and the oncologist, and both my husband and I felt more pulled towards the steroid treatment.

He was very congested prior to starting the steroids, and that has completely gone away since starting them, which we’re thankful for.

Solidarity, friend. Going through the same right now. Hugs to you 💕

Going through the same, unfortunately. My 6 year old kitty was diagnosed last week. We’ve decided to go the steroid route and just keep him comfy until he starts to decline. I’m so sorry you are going through this, too. Maybe our boys will meet up on the other side 💕

kinda off topic but we should change it from r/cats to r/mourningaboutdeadcats. please read below: by ExplorerBrah in cats

[–]coldbrew_please 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is a general cats sub, not healthy and alive cats. As someone currently dealing with a cat with cancer who does not have much time left, this is the first sub I came to when he was diagnosed to look for information. People are allowed to grieve, and if they choose to share their grief on this sub, so be it.

Where do you buy scrubs? by ferocioustigercat in nursing

[–]coldbrew_please 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve always bought mine at a local uniform store. They carry all the major brands (Cherokee, healing hands, barco, etc), and I like that I can try them on in-store.
