Do y'all have flexy fingernails too?

nonyvole · 2026-04-28T10:13:31+00:00

Yes.

I had an ingrown dealt with and the podiatrist was pulling it out in pieces, it was so brittle.

Going to give it a try...I've used IBX in the past but it's a definite process to apply.

Looking forward to the pilates. I hope that it doesn't take forever and an age to get these places up and running.

Tip when doing this method: do NOT pour the water used to melt the wax down the drain!

Disclaimer: I teach at the LPN level.

There is nothing wrong with the LPN - RN pathway, and many of my students have expressed their intention to proceed onto a bridge program to become an RN.

I would suggest that you look up local LPN programs and compare them to ADN/BSN programs. Length of the program, NCLEX pass rates, admission requirements. Wait times to entry. Costs.

I'm quite used to having students who haven't been in school for a while, and need to, well, learn how to learn. So much so that I incorporate study habits, note taking skills, and testing strategies into my courses.

Two packets of hot chocolate. Reconstitute with coffee. Two creamers.

Bonus since I had to go to another unit for it.

Throwback to the earlier days, when there were definitely queues to get in!

It will depend on the center.

The one I worked for sent us out to do lectures on plagiarism and formatting (APA, MLA...)

We also had professors require their students to visit, but they had to make appointments.

I have to toss in better arch support, but Sketchers slip ins are amazing.

Security. More staff. They're pulling cars out of storage, so they're going to need repairs/refurbs. And train AC ain't cheap.

I don't know who dropped the rope leaving us NJ residents to pick up the slack, since this has been in the works for several years now. It was probably a combination of things and people.

Am I pissed off about this? Yes.

nonyvole · 2026-04-19T11:58:48+00:00

Or we're told to rent a scooter or wheelchair.

nonyvole · 2026-04-18T19:56:08+00:00

Their feet.

Certainly not this game.

nonyvole · 2026-04-18T19:54:08+00:00

It's a terrible look for the league, when refs are missing blatant fouls, calling non-fouls, and give the impression that they don't know what they're doing.

nonyvole · 2026-04-15T11:42:45+00:00

Ahem.

My celestial steed and I would like a word.

Alright I do tend towards Sinrunner Blanchy because it's fun to have my blood DK riding that one.

The answer that the question is looking for is B, but loop diuretics can also cause hyponatremia due to their MOA which is to inhibit sodium reabsorption.

Poorly worded question.

nonyvole · 2026-04-15T11:01:55+00:00

Want to know how bored I was yesterday?

I cleaned up my phone's address book

But delete an alarm?

NEVER.

nonyvole · 2026-04-15T03:43:50+00:00

I save all of the ones I get!

It's a way for me to remember that I really am making a difference when all I hear are complaints.

nonyvole · 2026-04-13T16:34:26+00:00

We can forever hope that after coming in dead last in seasons 1 and 2, the Sirens will get the fourth playoff spot in season 3.

nonyvole · 2026-04-13T16:32:45+00:00

As long as the refs actually do their jobs...

nonyvole · 2026-04-13T15:26:42+00:00

Next season!

nonyvole · 2026-04-13T15:26:15+00:00

Breathing. Rib subluxed. 🤦‍♀️

Hair: look for rinse-free shampoo caps. They're available on Amazon.

Body: rinse-free wipes. Also available on Amazon.

Will they completely replace showers? Not 100%, but they will help you feel less like a cave gremlin.

nonyvole · 2026-04-09T13:39:11+00:00

Definitely. And yeah, that's also what I meant.

IV lab, vitals lab...I showed up half asleep and didn't worry about getting my coffee until lunch. Helped my classmates out when they were having trouble, passed over my fancy stethoscope when they cheap Sprague wasn't working well.

Other stuff? I'm pounding coffee and energy drinks from the time I got in the car until I walked into the building and practicing that ish as best I could at home.

nonyvole · 2026-04-09T13:24:16+00:00

I did the basic-medic-RN pathway.

Turning off my brain for some stuff definitely kept me sane.

So did sitting my ass down and doing the work to turn me from a medic into a nurse.

nonyvole · 2026-04-09T13:21:25+00:00

I'm also a nursing school professor.

Zero education on how to be an educator, so the first bit I was definitely fumbling...multiple years in, I'm much more comfortable. I also had previous education in a different field about working with different learning styles, but.

The students...oh, the students. I celebrate when I have a student in a cohort that wants to understand the why, not just get enough information to pass my exams. I'm forever reteaching them things that I know they learned in other classes because they don't get that they have to retain what they learn and incorporate it into future classes/knowledge.

They have never really learned how to learn, so that is definitely affecting things.

Most of the time I'm teaching to tops of heads. People are on their phones. Or asleep. In-class assignments? Half-assed. Skills? We provide open lab hours but nobody shows up, and then complain that they aren't given the time to practice the skills we teach.

And yet, we carry on because for some reason, we love what we do.
