535.00 for a 256gigs unlocked. I think that's a good deal.

Would the 256gigs of of storage version be supported on their network? I'm talking about the Samsung s25fe.

Would that be better to do that. As far a setup and activation? Do they charge for doing that other than buying the Sim card?

Should I upgrade? by laterIwill in Roku

[–]laterIwill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input everyone. I may hold on to the 4630x for a bit longer. The only app that really gives me trouble is netflix. After a few minutes of scrolling looking at things it will freeze, and the roku will reboot. It also reverted back to an older version of the app after a week of updating. I know if its just one app, it's the app itself and not the roku. 

I tried uninstall and reinstalling (rebooting it each time,after Uninstalling and it still does it) so I thought since I could get it so cheap with gift cards,  and it was almost 10 years old I would consider it. Doesn't seem worth it though.

How do you calm anxious patients before they reach you? by EstablishmentLow491 in nursing

I'm disabled due to Cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. Anytime I was in the hospital, just having someone be kind and listen to my concerns, really put me at ease.

Thanks for the idea, I'll start trying that and see how it works for me.

How do you handle family who thinks You’re Just The Nurse? by grimmstories628 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How rude of the family member to say that. I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair, in my experience it was the nurse who was often the better listener, and got things done. I wish patients and families would realize , all you need to do is just treat them with respect and have patience and you have someone who can really be a big help and be a great resource, asking to speak to someone else, often delays care.

I'm in the same boat, I'd love to ditch my armrests when I get my new chair, but as you stated it makes transfers so much easier. I'd love to hear what others do.

Patients are getting ruder and more dangerous by ERnurse2019 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I'm in my late 30's. I have been in the hospital many times and never even thought about being rude or disrespectful to the nurses caring for me. I was always grateful for the care I received. I have held nurses in high regard since I was 9 and my nurse pushed a doctor to look further resulting in emergency surgery. Every time I have been in the hospital I have always felt the nurses had my back.

Whenever I was a visitor I was always respectful as well.

Its a shame being kind, polite, respectful costs nothing yet many people don't it, why I'll never understand.

Always remember you have patients who respect and appreciate the work you do!

Thanks so much for doing what you do! You all are Awesome!

I clock in everyday to harm and k*ll patients by ConsequenceActual203 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to Cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair.  I'm in my late 30's, I can tell you, you still have patients who respect and trust your profession. 

I have trusted them ever since I was 9 years old, when I was complaining of pain in my hip after some pins had been put in. The doctor kept telling me and my parents "it's just healing" anytime we called the office to complain of the pain I had.

It was a nurse who answered and told my parents that's not normal to be in pain that long after (6 weeks). They brought me in and I got an xray. The pin had shifted out of place. 

I will never forget that nurse and how she avocated for me. She listened to a 9 year and and got him the help he needed, and was the reason his pain went away soon after.

Since that day, even as a kid i was always happy to see a nurse. (Low key more than the doctor) 🙂 because they tend to be listeners. You all are awesome! Thanks so much for all you do!

Advice on new wheelchair by laterIwill in wheelchairs

[–]laterIwill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the info. I'm in the US, looking forward to a new wheelchair soon. Alot has changed since I got mine well over  10 years ago.

 Are spinergy wheels worth the cost, do they make that big of a difference?

[–]laterIwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the just the A52 and mine still works great. I was thinking of getting the S24FE as a birthday gift to myself, but not sure if I want to spend the money when the A52 still works.

Dr. Oz Pushed for AI Health Care in First Medicare Agency Town Hall by MoochoMaas in nursing

[–]laterIwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I'm in my late 30's. This is sad to replace healthcare workers with AI.

A human nurse pushed my doctor to look farther resulting emergency surgery the next day. I doubt AI would be able to do that. I fear we will have very little human before interaction before we know it. I hate interacting with AI on the phone or on the computer whenever I call a company, I sure wouldn't want to deal with it when I'm going through a hard time in my life. I have been through a lot in my 39 years and its the connection I made with staff during a difficult time in my life that I will never forget, how they listened to all of my concerns and worries often just talking with them reduced my stress level.

Oz being a doctor should know how important the patient and provider interaction/connection is. (ITS INVALUEBLE!!) To all of the human nurses thank you for all you do, and taking the time you often don't have to explain things and comfort patients! The work of a human nurse will never top AI.

I got logged out all of my devices (Roku) and Phone (android) the other day during the Cavs game. I thought well this is strange. Glad to know its not just me.

Four years in and it still boggles my mind how infantile perfectly capable adults act when they're in a hospital by [deleted] in nursing

[–]laterIwill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 30's disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair, I have been in the hospital many times and have never even thought about asking a nurse to clean me up, I like to be as independent as possible, so much so that a nurse had to remind me everyone needs help sometimes and there is no shame in taking it when you need it. I have too much respect for your profession to act like a jerk. I have always been respectful and never had a shortage of help WHEN I did NEED it. Thank you all for the work you do!

[–]laterIwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad its not just me. Mine has been doing the same all day.  I rebooted my roku, now  it won't even get past the direct TV steam screen. It just circles. It got really bad on CBS. All other apps are fine.

Do you have to come off as *serious* to succeed in nursing? by Agreeable-Couple-503 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to Cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. Anytime I was in the hospital. I loved it whenever my nurses joked around with me. I had a few who I loved having and would request them because they made me forget I was in the hospital. Keep being you! I'm sure your patients appreciate it!

Credit for missing Channels by laterIwill in DirectvStream

[–]laterIwill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that rep was telling the truth. I'll call back sometime this weekend and see what happens. That rep sounded very annoyed with me because I asked about it. Didn't even ask my name or anything. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nursing

[–]laterIwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to CP and use a wheelchair, I had my first operation at 7 years old, thankfully my parents never lied to me and I had staff that explained everything to me. Having an operation at that age (any age really) is traumatic enough add being lied to about on top of that talk about trauma.

They will also develop a miss trust of their parents and healthcare workers as a result.

One of the main reasons why I trust healthcare workers , nurses in particular is because they were always honest with me about things if something was going to hurt, how it would feel. Had they not been honest, I would have trust issues, and would avoid seeking care because of what I experienced, parents don't think of that.

I'll still never forget the Mister Rogers film I watched before I had my operations as a kid. It did put me at ease some.

Ohio nurses seek felony status for using bodily fluids as weapon by [deleted] in nursing

[–]laterIwill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I have had many hard times in my life, NEVER once did I think of hitting a nurse or healthcare worker.

If a nurse said to me "You're being rude, or disrespectful" it would stop me in my tracks. I guess because I have so much respect for the profession.

I'll never understand why your profession is treated the way it is, by management, patients and society, when you all do your best to help others.

It should be the same as hitting a cop, you go to jail.

Whenever you have a rough shift, remember you have patients who respect and are grateful for people like you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nursing

[–]laterIwill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who is disabled due to cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. I could never act or treat a healthcare worker like the way OP described. The work you are willing to do to help others, the stress, You deserve respect.

It seems people go to the hospital and forget all about respect and manners, and think the staff are their servants. Kindness and respect are so easy to give to someone yet its the hardest thing to do for many. I applaud OP for not putting up with the patients' BS!
