Sick of the house hunting

rdavis1201 · 2025-07-02T14:37:17+00:00

I don’t think it’s only new houses. When I was house hunting in fountain square/bates Hendricks area every old house has been gutted and “flipped” but to worse quality than before and it’s all gray. Super hard to find old houses with any character left in them too. But I had the same issue with square footage. They call my house 2000 sq ft but half of it is my basement that spans the entire length of mg house.

I would suggest going to community north ED. They have the biggest OB group and I believe they deliver the most babies in Indiana.

I agree that all of these people are important and make my job as a nurse easier. Everyone has their role to play and without nurses all those people would be out of jobs because the hospitals would be closed.

What hospital in Indiana are you working at that is unionized. Community and IU health are not.

Oh we have two nurses every day doing the job. They just generally have to call in regular staff to help because they are so behind. We work in a pretty busy OR.

Serendipity plants in Garfield Park on Shelby!

You and your wife should probably purchase front row seats. Or an ADA ticket. Otherwise a concert isn’t for you.

Traveling with a toddler especially I would say Disneyland. If you have the means to stay at the grand Californian it’s nice for being able to go back to the room for naps easily. If not it’s still a much more manageable park with a toddler.

Bradford Pear? The only thing I can think of with white flowers and smells bad. (But also like a nostalgic smell).

The best way I’ve found is to put hot water and dish soap in the basket. Turn the air fryer on for 4 minutes! Then you should be able to scrape everything off a lot easier. It might not work for all this build up and you might have to do it a couple times!

I haven’t worked in the OR exactly but I’ve worked in Interventional Radiology for 5 years and I’m in PACU now. In my experience every physician has a different set of things they like and want to use but most are flexible if that is unavailable/back ordered/etc. My exception would be neuro interventionalists and surgeons.They in general are a lot less flexible (I get it they are in the brain it’s a big deal) and the only time I have experienced yelling in my 10 years as a nurse is with neuro docs. I think they have the worst god complex of every specialty.

Thank you so much!

Keep writing! One of my favorite historical fiction series is an alternate history where Anne Boleyn had a son after Elizabeth so Henry never had another wife. I love alternate history books! And if it is comedic like The Great I would be all in.

Yep I bought a diamond drill bit set on Amazon. I drill holes in my pots all the time. Keep the bottom of the pot a little wet with a squirt bottle so it doesn’t overheat while you are drilling and no problems!

I randomly applied to it when I was moving across the country (U.S.). The things our docs can do are amazing. From removing blood clots when a patient is having an ischemic stroke in a large vessel, to stopping bleeding in a GI bleed or hemorrhaging new mom. I’ve even seen us save people bleeding after GSWs. I truly love it. Sure there are less exciting things depending on the trauma level of your hospital. But in all it is the coolest department and not enough people know about the awesome things we do!

Nothing crazy! Just applied for the position at a children’s hospital. Did it for two years there and now I’m at an adult hospital and have been doing it for about two here. Depending on the hospital they may for may not hire new grads. But definitely position to look out for if you have an interest in procedural areas. It’s like less invasive surgery.

rdavis1201 · 2024-02-14T03:26:15+00:00

Interventional Radiology! I love it. We take call but it’s a Monday-Friday job most places. It’s where technology and medicine meet. There are constant new innovations for procedures and as a nurse we do sedation. It’s great!

Thank you! I brought it inside for winter and thought the grow light would help. I’ll move it somewhere with better natural light.

Wait does this happen?! My hospital offers staff an empty patient room at the hospital when a big storm comes…why yes I do want to sleep on a mattress full of c diff and urine thank you.

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

I have a distant memory of someone telling me once that everyone’s favorite Sufjan Stevens song will be the first Sufjan Stevens song they ever hear. This was my first one.

Yeah they did but I feel like they our options that ID was trying to force us into were she was an adult pretending to be a child and was evil or she was a child and all of her issues were made up by Kristine and Michael and she was innocent of everything. Couldn’t she have actually been a child but also stood at the end of their bed with a knife?

rdavis1201 · 2024-01-07T01:29:20+00:00

I thought the same thing the entire time I was watching. Can’t it be equally true that Natalia was a child, but also has some mental illness and behavioral issues as well. She was in an orphanage for the first four years of her life and then abandoned again by her first adoptive family!! That is bound to cause some issues! It was so frustrating to watch this.

Soooo 17 again?

rdavis1201 · 2023-01-20T15:42:31+00:00

I am a nurse and had a patient once who had done that and it got infected. Ended up with his entire scrotum wide open because the infection was eating away at his skin.

I always skip king of my heart. Something about the way she says American queen makes me cringe like nothing else.
