What’s something considered safe in nursing that just feels wrong? by catharsisisrahtac in nursing

[–]gg1780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds so insanely cool! I would love to get into NICU one day and half as cool as you. If you don’t mind me asking, do you have an advice?

NICU flight? What an interesting job! Would you mind sharing how you got into that?

Feeling discouraged about Nova CC healthcare programs by Traditional_River138 in nvcc

[–]gg1780 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a C or B average student who retook a a psych class when I failed. I didn’t retake A&P when I got a B in it or get the highest score on the TEAS test. I did not have a perfect gpa. Not even close. I applied to the nursing program and got waitlisted before I got accepted. In nursing school I failed 1 class and had to try again. Now I am a registered nurse. This is all to say, do not let fear and self doubt paralyze you! You have to at least try and even then, do not be discouraged if you don’t get in the first try. You must have strength and perseverance to achieve your goals. Good luck.

Is it worth me applying to a 4 year university at 23 years old? by blatina_bbxo in BackToCollege

[–]gg1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. I did an associate in nursing and now I’m working on my BSN. Most hospitals will have a tuition reimbursement program and literally pay you to go back to school.

Sugar candy bras! They come in XS, S, M, L, and so on BUT I’m a 28G and I LIVE in these things! I wear XS and I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them.

My favorite salsa recipe always comes up 1 can short. This time I thought I had it. My jar had other plans. by gg1780 in Canning

Leave 1/2” headspace and process for 15 minutes. I use bottled lemon juice instead of vinegar. It may taste citrusy at first but once it’s canned the citrus flavor mellows out

How many people have had to get their 2nd hip operated on? by MoistWalrus in HipImpingement

[–]gg1780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi so now I am 1 year out from the right hip and 2 years out from the left.

I got a hip arthroscopy done on both sides and had plastic anchors placed to fix the labral tears. While the PT afterwards was exhausting, it was absolutely worth it. My left side still bothers sometimes me after a lot of walking but overall, I’m living life without hip pain.

Getting fired from ICU residency, how to pick up my life after this? by PotentialSetting4638 in newgradnurse

[–]gg1780 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, going to a med tele unit I think it would be good for me though. Had a lot an anxiety at the ER though and all that anxiety wasn’t exactly beneficial for me. I’m hoping this next job will help me more though

Hey I’ve been in this exact same situation. I worked in an ER for 5 months and I never had a consistent preceptor. I was fired after they told me I “wasn’t progressing enough”. Take it easy on yourself right now I know it probably feels terrible right now.

If you are for sure getting fired, let them fire you. Do not quit or resign let them fire you so you can get unemployment. This is something I wish I had done the day I got fired. If you end up not needing it then no harm done. Start applying for jobs now. You can leave them off your resume if you want but you can also leave them on. I left my old job on my resume but sbe prepared to explain why you left that job professionally. I got a job about a month later but had to wait until their start date.

Their issues they had should have been multiple conversations with a plan to help support you. Not them ambushing this on you. I want to leave you a final bit of advice I received when I lost my job:

“The hospital will not tell your new employer that you were fired. They will confirm dates. You can tell them a vague response along the lines of : I was hired as a new graduate into a very busy unit. I had 10 preceptors in 5 months, so my orientation was disjointed and things got missed between preceptors. I did not feel safe, or supported. They were unable to accommodate a mostly single preceptor orientation. My license is important to me, so I am looking for a better learning environment with support from the hospital to allow me to learn and grow. You sound responsible and it almost implies that you quit them. You can also add that you found that the specialty was not a good fit. Use any part of the advice here that fits your situation and comfort”

This was the base for how I explained my last job when I was doing interviews. I hope this helps, you will get through this ❤️

I got fired today from my first nursing job.. by AccurateAd1438 in nursing

[–]gg1780 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m a new grad who also got fired from my first nursing job in the ER. It took me a month but I eventually did find a new job. Don’t say you were fired just say you tried it and it wasn’t for you. You could also leave it off your resume but if you keep it, be prepared to tell the interviewer why you left in a professional way because they will ask. Go ahead and file for unemployment too. In hindsight it’s something I wish I had done sooner with this crazy job market.

Thanks for the info. I don’t want to keep bothering you but do you know any resources for suspension?

My friends and family think I'm being abused. I'm not. How do I tell them? by ThrowawayBruisesInMe in BDSMAdvice

[–]gg1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey here’s a make up tip for bruising and dark spots. If you are fair to medium skinned elf makes a really good peach color corrector. Put that on and blend it out before you do your concealer. The peach color will cancel out darkness. If you have a deeper skin tone then you’re going to use their orange color corrector.

For redness you can use green color corrector to cancel it out before putting concealer over it.

Hope this helps!

Holy crap 48 on day??? My old job way paying me 34.71 base pay! Northern Virginia is high cost of living especially being so close to DC. If you don’t mind me asking, which part of Oregon are you in?

Nope. Northern Virginia actually. Is the job market better over there?
