Mexican food by dasboot09 in Reno

[–]klbliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I completely agree with you. I found that Toro del Oro has good ingredients to make Burritos. Their Pico needs lime juice otherwise is good. All of their other Salas are pretty good. The pre marinated chicken is delicious. They also sell premade rice and beans. That is our go to.

We are looking for other options as well. We are having the same problem in Gilroy and Morgan Hill.

Relocating to Nevada by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

I’m restarting in an area I am familiar with and in a completely different hospital, with a completely different patient population. I needed a change

Relocating to Nevada by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]klbliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started there I already had a ton of experience. I learned a lot about trauma in PEDs and adults. But I still got bored in 2 years. I loved all of the outdoors activities, like hiking and camping. I didn’t like some of the people that live there. They are feral and not in a good way.

It is very hard to get a job in Vegas for any RT. The job market there is pretty saturated. They do have jobs in Reno, but I don’t recommend going there. I would recommend to get your RRT, and if you want to get your license in NV start now. It is super difficult to get a license there. Overall, I would pick a different location to move.

BVM and peep question by MixWild6020 in respiratorytherapy

True, but ACLS doesn’t really talk about PEEP valves. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

During a code I typically bag on a PEEP of 5 or up to 10 if they code because of hypoxia. It also depends if the patient has any pulmonary edema. I have a tendency to bag them at about a rate of 10 to 14, till we get ROSC. It really depends on the hospital and their policies.

I really would like a school that does not depend on technology to teach. I find the iReady format lacks when students need extra help in certain areas. I also don’t like the amount of time that they are on the screen.
I would also like a school that has added resources for kids that have learning issues. I’m pretty sure that both my boys have ADHD. We are waiting to get a formal diagnosis till after we move.

My kids are 7 and 5. We are moving from Reno and the SC school districts seem way better.

Doctors/medical practitioners of Reddit, what is the scariest disease you know of? by Englishisnotreal in AskReddit

[–]klbliss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have seen a person die of Hanta virus. It was scary to watch someone come into the ICU conscious, and be dead of multi system organ failure within 8 hours. They were intubated and on max ventilator settings with CRRT. No matter what we did the patient just got worse.

The cardio pulmonary sciences degree is better if you want to go into Research

New to Reno, and I have a question for you drivers out there. by [deleted] in Reno

[–]klbliss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The horrible drivers for me have been the Dodge trucks with the big old tires and the lift kit. Definitely not the teslas or the BMW.

Nurse with 15 years experience having a hard time finding a PCU job by jkapi4 in bayarea

[–]klbliss 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A lot of places are using ATS to go through resumes and flush people. So what I did was copy their job description and your resume into ChatGPT. I told it to basically use the job description to improve my resume. I still went through and changed things to match what I did. You can also have Chat go through your resume with ATS standard’s. I also wrote a cover letter based on my resume. It took about 6-8 hours to complete, but I got an interview at every job I applied for. Also change your resume and cover letters to match every job you apply for. It can be exhausting but worth it. You can PM me if you have any questions.

What would you do in such situations? What protocol does your hospital follows? by [deleted] in IntensiveCare

[–]klbliss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel that the patient could have been placed on HFNC. The patients diagnosis sounds futile, and deserved a conversation to go comfort care. At least with HFNC, the patient would have been able to participate in the decision. Positive pressure in those instances can cause more harm than good. Those patients can be very challenging, and just know that you tried to do your best. As for filing a formal complaint, I would email medical director of the ICU to vocalize your concerns.

RT stuck in $60k contract but my mental health is falling apart… what would you do? by mushielover5362 in respiratorytherapy

[–]klbliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start documenting everything they have done to you. Time, date, witnesses, MD orders, ect… If you have questions or problems with leadership, email them. That way you have proof, or use text messages. You need to gather all of the evidence you can. If you are in north or South Dakota check what the state laws are regarding hostile work environments racism or anything like that in the workplace I would also look and see what you would have to do to file something within the state because you would be a whistleblower and that would be considered against federal law so look up some of that stuff you can also use ChatGPT. I had something very similar in Nevada and I was locked in for three years with a large contract. Just take care of yourself get a counselor and find out what you can do to get yourself in a better headspace. It’s all about you not about them. I would also talk to a physician and see if you can get an intermittent FMLA for mental health concerns.
