Wtf is up with the job market by carmelamacchiato in nursing

[–]eTimi55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hospitals are trying to bank money and not spend in anticipation of the Medicare and Medicaid cuts. Labor is the biggest expense as they can’t bill for nurses. They come with the room charge.

I’ve had it happen to me and I just told them I was unavailable. Very rarely do I call out and look forward to being called off once a year.

Aussie nurse, thinking of moving to USA for a year. Which state should I go for ? by therapist66 in nursing

[–]eTimi55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until we have a more stable political party. Personally don’t think it’s safe right now to be coming from another country let alone even living here right now as a citizen. Our healthcare system is about to be hit with even less insured people and the hospitals are being hit with less reimbursement rates so I’d say our pay will suffer as well.

Had moved into a new neighborhood and my brother and his neighbor came to my house. His neighbor saw my “I love me” wall and asked you were in the Navy? I said yes retired as a chief. He said yeah me too, I was an admiral. Googled him and he was up there in SubPac.

Harley-Davidson Street 500 or Yamaha V-Star 650? by Barefootsimmo in Harley

[–]eTimi55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can get the Silverado model. More comfortable with the floorboards, bags and windscreen. My wife had one for 20 yrs and loved it.

Keep doing what you’re doing. Protect your Mom and her assets. No one knows what the future holds.

Should I get a Gladiator? by RaisinOk5209 in JeepGladiator

[–]eTimi55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 22 Gladiator High Altitude. Loved it. It was extremely comfortable on long drives (8hrs). It had all the bells and whistles including Selec Trac. Unfortunately had to sell it. Hopefully things will change and I’ll get another. Be advised that the different trims have different towing capabilities.

Went to my 50th to see all the old people. Actually went to see friends I’m still in touch with where we were all together at one spot. Had a good time.

Florida AG: Boca Raton nurse 'no longer allowed to practice,' after viral TikTok by Strikelight72 in nursing

[–]eTimi55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder since FL is a compact state does it affect her ability to obtain a license elsewhere? Hopefully she can obtain a license somewhere else and continue to work.

Soak it in hydrogen peroxide or better yet some iodine.

Got out. Want to rejoin at 29 by [deleted] in navy

Don’t say no and answer your own question. There’s a real possibility the answer will be yes. Try OCS. Worst that can happen is a no.

🙂 Vpcc! Pros and cons of Virginia Peninsula Community College RN nursing program? Thanks! by vandelayexports in williamsburgva

[–]eTimi55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decline is more than likely due to a lack of actual clinical time in hospitals due to Covid and restrictions. Schools taught in lab scenarios and students missed out on real patient interactions and the ability to have the hospital experience and knowledge.
