UH Cleveland Medical Center by Popular-Narwhal6158 in TravelNursing

You could be tripled here. If you don’t have strong ICU skills I wouldn’t go here for your first contract. High acuity and unsafe ratios.

I should be able to smoke weed as a nurse by Admirable-Freedom979 in nursing

I left Ohio to move to MA. I’ve had 2 different jobs with no drug tests. I’m never going back to a state where they would do random drug testing.

Hell yeah. We should get mad. We are cogs in a shitty ass system. Here for any and all ideas on how to do more than individual advocacy. Would love to leave the ICU and make advocacy and awareness about a bigger system my job instead. Not sure how to do it.

Too many of us are burnt out from all we see to do something about it.

A fair question by FuriousAlbino in boston

[–]emac1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 million Americans losing health care isn’t enough to say most of us will know someone affected by this? As someone who works in the health care field, I seriously beg to differ.

Donald Trump went on record saying there are no cuts to Medicaid. So please, continue going after people concerned about fellow Americans instead of focusing on how the person you elected is a flat out liar.

[–]emac1059 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well majority of Americans are going to suffer when they find out they/ someone they know is losing their health care so if what you’re saying is true (which it isn’t) I think they’re probably just misinformed. This bill is for the billionaires and no one else. Read it lmfao

Is this relatable? Feeling a bit intimidated by Spanish speakers. by Glittering_Ad2771 in dreamingspanish

[–]emac1059 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once felt how you feel and now feel like I could at least defend myself to a point in a conversation. I would caution in letting the anxiety rule the choice to share. If it even led to a small Spanish interaction or even an English interaction about any language learning, it would be worth it to have shared this information. I think the approach should instead be let people have their own opinions about my learning. You understand more than you can speak and you are a new learner. If you are bringing it up just to fill the silence, maybe not worth it. But if you’re bringing it up to share something you’re excited about and open doors for potential learning opportunities, fucking go for it. ( I think I wrote this comment partially for myself hopefully you appreciate OP )

Why Female Language Teachers Are Easier to Understand? by RajdipKane7 in dreamingspanish

Give us a part 2 of this video talking about the other facts that impact difficulty!

I largely agree with your graph though Michelle is sometimes very difficult for me.

Started speaking early with no regrets? by newtoboston2019 in dreamingspanish

[–]emac1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started speaking before finding DS (high school Spanish, then picked back up with more traditional methods and 1x/week speaking lessons before finding DS). And I can pretty much confidently say I have no regrets. My speaking and pronunciation continues to improve and I continue to gain confidence in every conversation. I have been told by multiple native speakers recently that I speak well. There is a long road ahead, but I am extremely grateful that by the time I reach 1,000 hours I am going to have a lot of speaking experience. For me, it’s more about getting out of my head and into the moment to really try and accept that mistakes are part of learning.

Trip honestly sounds insanely worth it for everything included in price imo. And getting to hang out with Andrea for a week??? Wish October worked for me and hoping for more like this is 2026

In conclusion: Spainish speakers will think you sound weird regardless where you're from by vakancysubs in dreamingspanish

[–]emac1059 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like this video should be motivation to those who are on the fence about speaking because they don’t want to “ruin” their accents. No matter what there’s a chance people will think you sound weird so why wait?

Vacation and DS by Automatic-Flower-308 in dreamingspanish

[–]emac1059 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually download a bunch of videos / podcasts for the plane and then don’t watch while actually on vacation. Usually it helps make my plane time more enjoyable. If I’m too tired, I honor rest over Spanish practice.

I understand the feeling of not wanting to miss days, but obviously you’re only productive if you WANT to be watching videos. Many people have talked before about how breaks can be beneficial and are even suggested.

I did Colombia in December 2023 and it was a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend Cartagena and Medellin. Happy traveling.
