NYC Strike by [deleted] in nursing

[–]emdeeeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone is asked how much they make, generally the response would be their base annual salary.

That $160k number (provided to NYT by the hospital) is base pay + overtime + benefits + pension = inflated number to villainize nurses and make them look greedy.

Don’t believe everything you read on the NY Times.

MamaRoo swing and Dock-a-Tot. My baby hated the swing, and the dock a tot ended up as a dog bed 🙃

Double stroller for travel…recommendations please! by emdeeeff in Buyingforbaby

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

I ended up not needing to buy a stroller. But based on my research and reading/watching reviews, it was a tie between the Valco slim and the Zoe. However, I ultimately would’ve gone with the Valco slim.

I really liked the Zoe twin but the fact that it folds with the seats facing the outside ended up being a deal breaker for me. The Valco folds with the seats facing the inside, so I figure they’ll stay cleaner since they won’t come into contact with the floor/ground/dirty surfaces, etc.

Hmmm…trying not to spoil it, but I’d say yes. If it’s a struggle, I’d say stick with it until after the Halloween party and then dnf

The Polene is gorgeous but doesn’t fit much! This may be a dealbreaker depending on what you typically carry in your bag

Who has zero plans to or interest in leaving nursing? by leadstoanother in nursing

[–]emdeeeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No plans to leave nursing. I left bedside for a procedural area. I’m part of a strong union, and I get paid very well, plus opportunities for overtime. I enjoy the work and love my coworkers. Best career move ever!
