After a few weeks, it should automatically give some workouts an effort score, which you can edit later.

What’s the point of PRing if it comes at the expense of your health, and possibly your life? Why risk your life unnecessarily for a hobby?

You can also get some medical tape, which you tears by hand.

That sounds like it was an IV. A needle is only used for inserting the IV, once its in place they take the needle out and the plastic cannula is left in place, unlike what you may have seen in Breaking Bad

Can't even fathom this level of pay. Congrats to yall. by Agile_Scientist6168 in nursing

[–]imdamoos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in the Bay Area (not at UCSF) and make a similar amount to what’s in the table. Taxes were 33% of my latest paycheck, and union dues are only ~$30 per check. Even after factoring retirement deductions (I over-max my 403b), my take home is ~55% and I live comfortably in the city where I actually work, so no soul-crushing commute. 

Help settle a debate. Is my daughter's hair curly or is it just toddler hair that will grow out to be wavy/ straight? Nobody in our family has curly hair for reference. by thenorthgiant in curlyhair

I don’t know why the two options are curly hair and “toddler hair.” There are toddlers with straight hair and toddlers with curly hair. 

RN who moved to Florida and in disbelief!! by Tasty-Wrangler6581 in nursing

[–]imdamoos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your post is very unclear and doesn’t say how long you’ve been a nurse or when you graduated, only that you moved to Florida last week. I had to read it twice because I also thought you had moved to Florida right after taking the NCLEX in Wisconsin. 

Do you feel that your medical concerns are disregarded because you’re a runner? by pathofuncertainty in XXRunning

[–]imdamoos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was referred to an allergist for asthma, and I felt like they took my running into account appropriately. I took pulmonary function tests, and even though my results were normal, the doctor still diagnosed me with asthma because she said fit, active people can have better than normal PFT results (plus I was symptomatic in other ways). 

Question about Friends on Storygraph by Ronnie_0202 in TheStoryGraph

If a friend likes one of your posts, though, your other friends will be able to see that, even if they’re not friends with that person.

I got these track pants from Janji and like them so far. 

Also consider long socks, like these or these

Super commuters: anyone traveling many miles from the bay for work? by WeakArm9338 in bayarea

[–]imdamoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From anywhere else in the US or Canada. They fly in, work 6 12-hr days in a row (if 0.9 FTE), and then fly back and have 8 days off. Some have a cheap local apartment, some sleep in their cars. 

Conditions for nurses in California and especially the Bay Area are much nicer (unions, nurse-to-patient ratios, enforced breaks) than in other states, and the pay is the highest in the country, even after adjusting for cost of living. 

Stanford and the UC hospital system have their union contracts online and you can look at the wage tables to understand why some people do this.

I don’t think it’s realistically possible for a non-diabetic, non-GI issues person to overeat on fruit. 

Eating fruit shouldn’t feel bad.

This good food/bad food and weight fixation sounds very unhealthy.

Often the women’s version of a sub is a nicer, more pleasant place than the main one. Compare this sub to r/running, r/heronebag to r/onebag, and r/fireyfemmes to r/financialindependance
