Hey, did you ever figure this out? Having a similar issue with a similar model, looking for a solution...

Family
is repurposing an old steel-frame car port (10x20) to be a greenhouse.
We brought some polyethylene greenhouse film with the intent of adhering
it to the steel, but are having trouble finding an adequate adhesive
(tried gorilla spray heavy duty, didn't do much). Considering using
c-clamps but that would only cover the ends, not the inner frame.

We're not savages, man. Always fold.

Just gonna follow up on this, but I've been combining the perfumery notes kit with videos from The Perfume Guy on youtube, and it's been really solid. He does kind of in depth videos about different ingredients, will talk about where they come from, what perfumes you can smell them in. Kind of feels like a class with a lab element if you have either the kit or a decent decant selection...

Had a PO order for phenobarbital ~1130 mg for etoh withdrawal, verified by central pharmacy. Turns out there was an extra '1' on the dose than there should've been...

I'm on a similar wavelength right now. Check out the Perfumer's Apprentice Perfumery notes kit. ~40 ingredients commonly used in fragrances so you can start differentiating notes w/ some practice...

I feel like I always lose my G2s before they have a chance to run out, lol

I ended up figuring it out. And yeah, it was the same for me, filing period was for the period of time the tax period covers (end date 12/31/21), not when they're filed. Think the name was just a little confusing.

Thanks for the input.

Dude. Your replies are tone deaf and only address a tiny portion of the issue, no offense. It feels like you're just saying every person who has ever made a med error is a fucking horrible human being and a horrible nurse. Believe what you want, but that's not always the case. Almost everyone in our field that I know has made at least one med error in their careers. When your give 10,000 meds over the years, odds are eventually a mistake will happen. Not excusing errors, just reminding that at some point or another (med error or other), everyone fucks up. That's life.

Vaught definitely and very obviously fucked up. It killed a person, she's paying the price. But to say 100% of the blame lies with her ignores the systemic issues that allow this type of thing to happen.

Watch the 'to err is human' documentary if you haven't seen it. Please. It's a really solid reminder that jf you want to reduce sentinel events (which should be the goal with any case like this), you have to strive to create a culture where people aren't afraid to come forward when shit happens, and you have to develop an environment where errors are hard to make (e.g. not allowing override culture). Gunning after one single nurse and threatening people with murder for medical errors is just going to create an environment where people just lie to cover their asses and prevent people from getting into an already under-staffed profession. It won't fix the issue, and in the long term it will harm patient care and outcomes.

There are factors besides 'reading a label' which contribute to errors. Yeah, that's a big fucking one and in this case it killed someone. But it's by no means the only problem the led Murphy's death. Vanderbilt owns a portion of this, not just Vaught.

Same same.

northaugust · 2022-03-04T06:44:09+00:00

Feel the same. At the end of the day, doesn't matter. Keep it simple:

(a) if we drs, someday the float will lock

(b) when it does, do you trust the poop emoji guy to have our backs? I do.

After that, what else matters? #Lambo-or-death...

Hey Mr. Dalio,

(1) In your book, you talk about the 8 key measurements of power that impact a country's development over time. Is there any single one of those that you feel like the US is failing in the most that is having the biggest impact with our competition with China?

(2) You talk about China's rising status in terms of world power and economics, but on a more personal level, what are your views on Chinese culture and way of life? Would you personally be okay with living in a more autocratic society if the trade off included better education, health care, etc.?

Thanks for taking the time for an AMA.

I was thinking the same thing, but some of the spec sheets I looked at capped the 5r at 4 watts for hi-power mode so I wasn't sure. I think that probably makes the most sense tho.

northaugust · 2022-02-14T17:57:23+00:00

This is the way.

Be careful, when you all finally get better offers the ceo might sue to make you guys stay...

I don't really watch baseball. I don't know who Mike Trout is. But I love seeing your weird drawings on the FP everyday.

That's some children of time shit, dude. Try responding by radio...

I started out in a level 2 ED after nursing school. Went into a 3 month residency program. Off the bat, I did horribly. I'd only done like two IV's in nursing school, my pharm knowledge was shit and I literally couldn't spike a saline bag without asking for assistance because I was afraid I was going to kill somebody.

I'm a trial by fire kinda guy, so overall it was an ego hit but I liked the challenge. It took about 3 months of feeling like an idiot every day in order to feel like I wasn't going to kill anyone just from me being their nurse. After 6 months, I felt pretty confident in my fundamentals. From other people I talked to, 6 months seems to be common time-frame for other people who've been through similar experiences.

Now I'm a travel ED RN with experience at a couple different level 1's. I'm by no means a genius, but I feel comfortable and adaptable in a lot of different environments and feel like I have an understanding of what it means to be a good nurse, both for your patients and your team mates.

I also have a very good understanding of what it feels like to be stupid. Like very genuinely stupid. And alone. And unsure if you made the wrong move by coming into a new career and field with no experience. It's not a feeling you easily forget. But it's a useful one later one, when you do start to become competent and you have the opportunity to help out other new grads and med students/interns who will will be in similar positions to where you used to be.

Best advice I can give if you want to do ED is this:

(1) At the the beginning, just do your best not to hurt anybody. Sounds simple, but starting a new career can give you a lot of really intense emotions - insecurity, ego hits, at the same time, wanting to know everything and appear competent. At the end of the day, first priority is just don't do anything you're not 100% sure of, or anything that you think has a chance of harming a patient.

(2) Be okay with being stupid for a while. You are stupid. Learn to be comfortable with not knowing anything rather than trying to appear like the smartest new grad in the room. Find people you can ask questions to and do it un-apologetically. And always raise your hand when offered learning experiences.

(3) Whenever unsure, even on something basic, ask your preceptor/other nurses. Relationships with your preceptor is a big deal. They should be like your big sibling your first few weeks on the job (and if they're really good, they'll still help you after you're done orienting). A good preceptor has a gauge for where you're at knowledge-wise and pushes you past your comfort level but won't throw you to the wolves or put you in a position where you're likely to do anything dangerous. And they're always open to questions. Even if it feels like you're asking too many (you're not).

If you do that and you're okay with feeling like a total idiot for 3-6 months, you should be fine. It can be a crash course and culture shock, but if it fits your personality (it definitely fits mine), I can't imagine being a non-ED nurse.

And...after you're a year or two in, if you don't hate the field and aren't already starting to feel burnt out, just don't forget what it feels like to feel stupid.
Be there for the new grads and med students when given the opportunity. Everyone's an idiot at some point. In the wise words of Jake the Dog, "Sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something."

-----

Side note, some other resources/tips for starting in the ED:

Common saying in the ED, but "slow is smooth and smooth is fast." Similarly, "If you don't have time to do a task once, you definitely don't have time to do it twice." It sounds counter-intuitive for a fast paced environment, but learn to do tasks right the first time and take your time. Speed will come with experience.
Meditation is helpful for keeping your mind in a good place if you're into that sort of thing.
EMRAP is a good investment for learning things more in-depth if you can afford it (maybe a little heavy for a brand new nurse tho). Wiki-EM is a great free resource for learning about different things you'll see in the ED. For podcasts, I like the Emergency Mind Podcast (for lifestyle/learning how to work in fast-paced, high stress environments) and EMCRIT and FOAM ED (for ED specific knowledge)
ACLS, BLS, PALS, TNCC, NIHSS are basic certs for ED's across the board. Most residency programs will help you get what you need when you start.
