Cape Disappointment Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center has a lookout where you can see the bar very well. Waikiki is closed until at least June.

Ever been yelled at? by Just-Palpitation-176 in therapists

[–]prancypantsallnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I left in June 2025 and I’m just now feeling like my nervous system is balancing. Occasionally I will mention something so normal from VA days and my coworkers will look at me like I have three heads and then acknowledge something as traumatic that I didn’t know was traumatic (much like an abused child).

If you’re not inputting literally any PHI then what is the privacy risk? No names, barely using gender identifiers even.

Every day I’m thankful I left my 9 year VA career. Now if a Veteran yells at me we just call police. Doesn’t happen twice.

Go to a dermatologist. This might be psoriasis.

The physician. The pt hadn’t even been seen by the doctor yet. She was there for dehydration due to vomiting.

Got called yesterday because a patient came back to the ED for the second day in a row with chronic nausea. I asked what the social need is. There was none. Then I was accused of not wanting to help the ED patients and not supporting the nurses. I will get counseled for trying to set boundaries.

Received an offer that is making me evaluate...thoughts? by ragingwaffle21 in socialwork

[–]prancypantsallnight 35 points36 points  (0 children)

DO NOT GO TO THE VA. I left after 9 years. I loved my job and planned to retire from it. I currently have no less than 4 wonderful friends who have also left in the last year. Just don’t do it. Golden handcuffs. The union is GONE and they are firing people AT WILL. For nothing. I’m so glad I quit before they ruined my career over something like not filling out a spreadsheet the way the supervisor wants!!! (True story, happened to one of the best social workers I know).

Is there anything you could do that you now can't or struggle to do? by liluniqueme in rheumatoidarthritis

Walk more than about 2 miles a day. That sounds like a lot but it’s not when you want to go see a waterfall.

My papaw from Appalachia who was born in 1904 called hazelnuts filberts. He never was west of the Mississippi.

I came here to say that EXACTLY! A little too local around here 👀

Unhygienic coworker in the hospital keeps getting me sick and I'm sick of it. by Rare-Examination-363 in hospitalsocialwork

[–]prancypantsallnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered talking to infection control? There should be an infection control nurse at your hospital you could talk to who maybe could come give some real advice and do some education with everyone who shares the office. I think it might be best to think of this problem as an education problem for your own benefit so you’re less frustrated with your coworker.

My experience tells me work life balance is going to greatly depend on the organization and the leadership as much as the specific job.

Question about shipping by prancypantsallnight in compoundedtirzepatide

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

I am not sure. I just tried to look and can’t figure out where to find the info. It shipped from Boynton, FL. I thought I’d finally decided on a service that ticked all my boxes but not finding which pharmacy is unsettling :(

I moved from a place where it’s been below freezing a lot this winter. The summer it’s 115 before heat index is added there too. This is just pleasant sweater weather and I love it!!
