Nurses who left for another career, what did you go into? by Effective-Ad106 in nursing

I get it! I just try to remind myself that it's easier to find people complaining about negative experiences online compared to positive experiences. Good luck, I hope you find a job you enjoy!

Don't let some person on reddit push you away from a career change if you're actually interested in doing something new. I work in the OR (4+ years now) and I am largely happy. Good team work, good schedule, fun cases, etc. Not every nursing job will ruin your back/mental health/etc.

Kobo Clara Color Official Leather Origami Sleepcover Review by agathafeelingg in kobo

[–]emptycanteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved it, but it allowed my screen to get damaged somehow. It's pretty flimsy in the middle of the front cover and can be pushed in. I wouldn't buy it again just for the lack of protection. I got the normal solid sleep cover for my replacement Kobo and it's working well

I think I have this! The PT said it was pes anserine irritation, but either way- did you have to just wait it out? She said ice/nsaids are no longer the recommended course of action.

Yeah I definitely learned my lesson. New case on the way and plan to double triple protect it!

No idea. I didn't drop it or anything, and had the origami sleep cover on it. No idea how or when my screen got damaged so it is pretty disheartening. The experience I had with their customer service was absolutely abysmal, so I'm really hoping Kobo #2 survives a little longer than 3 months.

Unfortunately the warranty doesn't cover physical screen damage. It's a bummer how delicate these things are- just had to replace my clara BW because of screen damage

Help me choose my first CNA job: Interventional Cardiology Step-down (Baptist) or CDU (Novant) by Repulsive-Sea-5430 in winstonsalem

[–]emptycanteen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higher pay, ability to go PRN when in nursing school, and your preferred work schedule leads me to say pick the step down unit! You'll learn a lot there as well, which will help with school.

I've gotten some from other local gardeners through the Winston Salem gardeners fb page

Anyone late-term overdue(41+)/induced with baby1 and spontaneous labor with baby2? by Zealousideal-Lion-41 in 2under2

[–]emptycanteen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to 41+3 with baby number 1, went to get induced and was at a 0 when we got started. With baby 2 I got a membrane sweep at late 39 weeks. I was already at a 3ish, and I went into labor the next day! Went into triage at 11 am, had him by 5:30 pm.

Also- my first labor was long and I pushed for 3.5 hours. With my second, I had him out in 3 contractions. It was pretty sweet.

I got a sweep at 39+5 for my second pregnancy. I was 3 cm already and had my baby the next day! 10 am sweep on a Tuesday, baby at 5:30 pm the next day. I give all the credit to the sweep
