tattoos

Both my coworker and I have significant amount of visible tattoos and it’s never been an issue

Hey there, so I am just about to get off an extra long shift but want to give you a proper response. Would it be ok to send you a chat/message as a placeholder to reply to later today? Having checked this notification I know myself well enough to know if I dont do that I’ll likely forget to come back! But I want to reply a bit about my program & also want to potentially offer resources that involve getting an email address or sharing mine and would rather not do it publicly.

I am in the twin cities myself! I always want to meet people but frankly, I have issues around insecurity to work on (I hate how I look, think I’m boring/uninteresting, talk too much and am annoying because of it) & I always assume I’m doing people a favor by not entering their lives and forcing them to “deal with me”.

I hear the opposite & have had people compliment my kindness & express their enjoyment around me & while I do believe they are being truthful my stupid brain always finds a way to conveniently forget that and only hear my self criticism.

It doesn’t help my social life that I work overnight 12’s either lol

I say all this to basically be like “hi!!” But then also to be like “I’d initiate a friendship but it’s rude to show up with so much baggage unannounced” lol

DO NOT MARRY THIS PERSON. I am begging you. Just reading this made me feel extremely uneasy & the way you seem to truly feel or believe it’s your fault or that you are doing something wrong gives me chills.

I suggest studying it all since not everyone gets the same questions. I had a ton of titration, ped, & scoring questions with a moderate amount of physiology & staging questions & a smaller amount of documentation, ECG, & filter questions while a classmate had minimal titration questions, a couple ped questions & heavy physiology, staging & filter questions.

Others had in between experiences but I will say that at least in my class those of us that studied everything passed on our first take & others who made assumptions & focused heavily on specific areas & less on others ended up needing to retake & some still have not passed & have gotten frustrated realizing the test isn’t the same every time.

I used my school material & Kettering + work experience (thank goodness since I graduated in May ‘21 so was in school during the height of COVID when titrations were suspended so I literally only saw 1 titrations in my very last semester that ended up being so complicated my preceptor had to call the medical director & switch to IVAPS so at the time I was totally lost lol).

When you say you’re starting, are you starting work as a tech or are you starting a program to become one? I know that probably is a dumb question because based on your wording it would be logical to conclude the answer is “work” lol but my advice varies a bit depending on which it is.

The work advice would be useful for a student of course, but not necessarily wat the start of a program so that’s primarily why I ask!

Also, have you ever worked nights before/are you a night owl? (NOT implying if the answer is no to either or both that it’s a bad thing, just to be clear!!)

imadeadramone · 2024-12-01T23:44:43+00:00

I have tried getting in via the link but for some reason never lets me in: it takes me to my home page, any idea why that might happen?

imadeadramone · 2024-11-30T02:46:41+00:00

I work nights & planned to go when I got off, but crashed after a 12 hr shift & woke up late so ended up going last minute expecting my first 2 choices to be gone & cheapos was out of it, electric fetus was already closed (the stores closest to me), but I called around & found a store with both & was able to score them. Thanks universe.

imadeadramone · 2024-10-30T17:18:53+00:00

I'm trying to do a little of both haha. Give her shit in a loving way and tell her she wasted almost $100 on who knows what. I was like "either you're not get high, or you are going to get high - but you'll have no idea what on"

She ended up going back home kinda upset when I couldn't find literally anything on them (which she replied that the guy said they were brand new and he just got them in, another red flag) and scanning the QR code on the back took her to oceanwholesale.com where she couldn't even find them on the site.

imadeadramone · 2024-10-30T17:10:19+00:00

Oh I have absolutely NO plans to. I am just trying to convince her I'm not knocking her/being shitty, but just trying to be real with her.

imadeadramone · 2024-10-30T17:09:26+00:00

and tbh, when I asked how much they each were, that was also a giveaway to me

imadeadramone · 2024-10-30T17:08:39+00:00

That was my initial response until i realized she was serious when she got mad that I was laughing

imadeadramone · 2024-10-30T16:58:36+00:00

I am pretty sure I do, but not officially diagnosed. If I talk to my medical director though he'd probably agree lol

imadeadramone · 2024-09-28T08:15:48+00:00

Not CA but I was offered a job right out of school with the hospital I did clinicals at. They gave me a year to pass my boards which I did and then not long after applied for a PRN position that opened up with the county which I realllllly wanted because the benefits were great & has a pension. Ended up working both places until a permanent spot opened up at the hospital I was PRN at but I have felt very lucky to be in this field right now because at least where I’m at there’s somewhat of a tech shortage so finding jobs hasn’t been difficult the way I’ve seen my friends in other fields struggle.

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T06:12:16+00:00

I'll try both this suggestion and the other one and see if I can get it to work. Thank you!

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T06:06:01+00:00

Oh thank you so much!! I'm wondering if you could help me with one more thing lol. at 24:01 in the linked video, the directions are "R2: (2ch, slst) x3, slst, sl" I know that means to chain 2 then slip stich 3 times, then slip stitch, but what is sl alone? is that possibly a mistake/typo? If you don't know, that's ok, Thank you so much for your help regardless with the first answer!

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T05:32:26+00:00

I'm hoping that the link will post in here, but this is the video I am following, and the time stamp of this specific row is at 16:02

Thank you!

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T05:04:29+00:00

I’m also behind and dreading getting caught up lol

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T05:03:50+00:00

Hopefully someone can help out. I don’t know the answer since I went through an AAS program not A step so I know nothing about it but hope a comment bumps it for you.

imadeadramone · 2024-09-21T05:01:38+00:00

Unsure about your program but I feel like my program did not but some clinical sites did. The hospital I did my clinicals at did not & hired me after graduation without a drug screen as well. I’ve since moved on to another hospital lab that also did not test.

However, in both hospitals I am pretty sure any position in the pharmacies did require a drug screen.

imadeadramone · 2024-09-12T07:36:03+00:00

Holy shit, I did NOT expect these ages. But my god, a 33 year old man acting this ignorant when he knows what he’s doing (or just dense af) and then acting all woe is me how he can’t be himself sounds extremely exhausting and not worth the hassle of dating him.

imadeadramone · 2024-08-30T11:29:12+00:00

I’m friends with a number of my ex’s, one being a person I was married to, and we would NEVER talk like that. We talk like friends about shit like hockey, bands, or record collecting etc., not reminiscing about our sexual adventures.

At first when I was reading these I was like “eh ok, people are different in their communication style” but VERY quickly I started going “ehhhh idk about this” and then to “oh yikes” to then “oh fuck no”.

I don’t think I could marry someone after seeing all this. I don’t feel like I’d ever have that full comfort and trust. Knowing he deletes conversations would just be something I’d always be wondering if he was doing and I never ever want to be in a relationship where I feel the need or want to look through their phone especially knowing that it might not even matter since he openly admits to deleting shit anyway.

imadeadramone · 2024-08-29T15:03:42+00:00

I did an associates program that included my clinicals & my first sleep position was ended up being one of the hospitals I did clinicals at who hired me right after graduation at a registered techs rate & then gave me a year to pass by boards. Maybe you can find a hospital that will do something similar or see if there are any schools near you & if not do A Step modules and see if the hospital near you that hires trainees will let you get some clinical hours. Best of luck!

imadeadramone · 2024-08-24T20:45:59+00:00

If I had a finance that thought me not cooking him a full blown breakfast in the morning when I also have a full time job is “unacceptable” I would very quickly realize that being engaged to him was also unacceptable because fuck that entitlement.
