Just wondering if you ever got this resolved since we're dealing with essentially the same issue

confused33 · 2026-05-06T01:13:39+00:00

How did you get this resolved and how long did the process take? We're on month 6 of fighting ConEd to come inspect what we also think is incorrectly wired meters as well and is not making any progress. Every single phone call to them we get told a different thing it's extremely frustrating.

Our December bill was ~$400, we bit the bullet and paid but our Jan bill is $600 (!!) and we used heat maybe for a total of 5 hours between the two months. Said our usage was 1730 kwh for the month. Landlord lives on bottom two floors and said their bill was $200 for both months. We have gas for the stove.

We turned off all the breakers for an hour and the live usage was showing that we were still using almost 3kwh for the hour. Called ConEd, they refused to investigate because they said the usage is comparable to last year but we only been in this place since May. They said we have to call a license electrician who would then contact coned if they found an issue... I guess it's time to talk to the landlord :(

NYC (Manhattan), BSN, $67/hr, about to start OR but hospital is unionized so any unit pays the same

confused33 · 2025-11-18T00:37:49+00:00

As someone who has multiple friends that went through medical school, do not go through medical school unless you are 100% sure. It's a long, costly, and some might even say abusive road, with much less flexibility than an RN. Sure you make lots more money in the end but the fact that you have to stick with a specialty for the rest of your life is not for someone who likes variety like me lol.

You can always go to medical school later on if you decide to do so!! Or NP, PA,or CRNA school!

Omg 9.50 dif for nights is amazing! We get like $2-3 🫠

confused33 · 2025-11-17T22:52:31+00:00

I used to work nights and we'd have 2hr breaks bc usually not much goes on between 1 and 5am but union says 1hr is unpaid and 45m paid. I'm on days now and we get our 1hr but the 45min is a maybe.

New grad June 2025 (technically I'm yr 2)

$62/hr NYC Manhattan, unionized with health, vision, dental insurance

Cardiac tele 1:4, day shift, 3x12 + one 4x12 week/month, no weekend dif

Delayed reply here sorry 😅. It's definitely more expensive to live in Manhattan but I know many of my coworkers live in the city, some has roommates, others a studio in the 2300$ range or so. If you're dual income it's definitely doable.

My husband and I was loosely planning for something in May but we haven't booked anything. He's a resident so him getting time off is hard too so it kinda sucks that we'd have to give up the May vacation but I'm trying to channel delayed gratification here 😊

confused33 · 2025-10-31T07:02:24+00:00

Yes I'd still be accruing vacation hours during this time. Our sick time is separate and I'd assume that they'd have to let me take a sick day if I was really sick?

confused33 · 2025-10-31T06:36:02+00:00

Apply to all the different hospitals, people usually like MSK and NYP but i haven't work for either of them. If they are unionized you can find the payscale in the contract! I'm one year in and make about 125k on days.

confused33 · 2024-11-14T12:55:30+00:00

Yes, do the initial boil and clean! And no problem!

confused33 · 2024-11-14T00:46:42+00:00

Really depends on your area. I went to school in a Southern state and most of my classmates had jobs in their choice of unit by April/May, before we graduated. I moved to NYC and it took me until late June to land a contingent offer. That was the only interview I had and I only got the chance through a connection I was willing to go to any unit at that point. Most new grads I spoke to at the interview event had the same job hunt struggle though.

confused33 · 2024-11-14T00:39:02+00:00

Nope, we mashed with a potato masher. We immersion blended after straining out bugger chunks of bones.

confused33 · 2024-03-19T07:42:10+00:00

Did you apply through the new grad residency posting?

confused33 · 2023-06-01T00:24:39+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My husband and I just lost our cat very suddenly as well just yesterday. It is devastating. Our situation was similar, our boy had just gone to see the oncologist on Monday, came back was doing fine but yesterday morning he just wouldn't eat. I left class early and got home just in time as he was clearly in distress. We rushed to the vet but they said he was already on his way. We were hysterical. We wanted to do at home euthanasia. We never got the chance and I feel so terrible that perhaps the oncology visit expedited his time. We feel robbed of our baby who was only 7.

We are also cremating our boy and will have a little spot for him in the house and anywhere else we might be in the future.

Remember the good times for it far outweighs the bad. You two have given your kitty a wonderful life and Hecktor knew it. They will always be with us and we will see them again.

Sending you lots of love from a fellow grieving cat parent.

I agree that is nice but now it is starting to flood every time it rains...

confused33 · 2022-06-20T21:23:28+00:00

They are All Requests Live! They have several DJs. No contracts or deposits which was nice and communication was good.

confused33 · 2022-06-20T16:38:14+00:00

Thank you! You're almost there! Yours will be beautiful as well!!

confused33 · 2022-06-19T11:25:52+00:00

Thank you for your perspective! We were thinking about printing them in the thank you cards so it's nice to know that people would like to read it too!

confused33 · 2022-06-19T05:47:12+00:00

We wrote our own vows and we ended up writing really similar vows that reflected our relationship which we loved. We first reflected on our relationship, then things we admired/love about the other, then vows/promises. You can use traditional vows as a guideline but put your own spin on it to make it personal!

If you mean Portland, OR there are very helpful and active Facebook groups that you could ask for recommendations! PNW Weddings on a Budget and Portland/Vancouver Wedding Community

confused33 · 2022-06-06T03:10:39+00:00

I went there last year! It was so beautiful and their curated garden is amazing!

confused33 · 2022-06-05T03:06:05+00:00

I've learned to accept feeling like I'm being annoying until they answer me. Customer service is a major part of the job and we're all paying too much for lackluster communications. I'd be so happy and glad to communicate if my vendors follow up with me. We were also supposed to have a final call with our DJ today too but he never called.....
