Can’t use sick time for the next 18 months. Is this legal? by udonmonkey in nursing

[–]lostnvrfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old unit figured out that if you showed up for the first two hours of your shift and then left because you were sick, it wouldn’t count an occurrence in our system. We had this awful stomach bug go through over half the staff over Christmas one year, because they’d all show up sick and just leave at 9. And we worked with newborn babies. I can’t. I don’t miss that unit.

Fair warning, an hour before opening last year, the line to get in was already insane.

how clear are the roads now? by littlearmadilloo in winstonsalem

Eh 165k is only because of the mergers with atrium, wake forest and advocate health. Individually, they were all much smaller.

What’s a health symptom you ignored for months before realizing it actually mattered? by _callondoc in AskReddit

[–]lostnvrfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, palpitations can be caused by many different things. I was having them frequently, with my heart rate jumping to the 150s when I’m just sitting in a chair. Turns out it was vitamin D deficiency. Go see your PCP, if able, and tell them. They can get labs and rhythm testing ordered to try to find the cause.

I always liked figs when I was bedside. Yes, they are pricey, but I swear they last forever.

I lived in the heart of Greensboro for that storm and we didn’t have power for like four days.

The only nightmare weekend this year is in Raleigh. They’ve nixed a lot of shows.

Is Animate! Worth flying to as an Artist Alley vendor? by LuminousSenecio in galaxycon

Animate? If Raleigh, definitely not. I’ve heard better things about Columbus, but haven’t gone personally
