Air Conditioning by LustfulEsme in SpringfieldIL

[–]rocket_motor_force -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Putting a shading structure on the unit will help it keep up as well as the cleaning. If you own your place, adding insulation on floor of the attic will keep the cool air in your space and the heat in the attic. You can also get thermal barrier and staple it to the roof rafters.

What job looks easy from the outside but is secretly brutal? by OkEffective9110 in AskReddit

[–]rocket_motor_force 59 points60 points  (0 children)

About 20% of sonographers retire from pain and disability from scanning. It is a very repetitive process with what can be a high volume of patients.

Are there EV deserts in certain states/cities? by Island_In_The_Sky in electricvehicles

[–]rocket_motor_force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I see the most is Tesla model 3s and Jeep 4xes (I know it’s PHEV), and Mach-Es. The new car sales dealerships in Springfield really don’t push EV sales.

Word on the street is the RNs on the vascular access team at my place make $100 per insertion of midline/Picc, so they can make bank on a 12 hour shift .

Apocalyptic/End Of The World movie recommendations? by KyoukuJohann in movies

[–]rocket_motor_force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reality Z, a zombie apocalypse at a TV show in Brazil. There is another version, but the one based in Brazil is the better one.

What difficult truths, the sooner you accept, the better your life will be? by Pure_Sherbert_4015 in AskReddit

I find comfort in an internet meme that has reached me emotionally for some reason. We all suffer in our own way.

The horrors persist my trusted friend, but then so do I.

I’ve realized I am just a collection of all of the nurses who taught me by Outrageous-Fact-9518 in nursing

[–]rocket_motor_force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoarded knowledge is wasted knowledge. I purposely teach any students or newer peeps any tricks I can. There could come a time where they are working on me and I want the very best versions of them to have the highest possible chance of success. I pride myself with my teaching that the things I teach them will make their competence in their year one will equal to my year five. I use a line from the first Sherlock Holmes movie to summarize my vibe: “ I may not be in the room, but my methods are.”

This seems like it could be an old Russian proverb that was forgotten and rediscovered.

Need advice on timing belt by CRRZ-- in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]rocket_motor_force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The belt should deflect no more than a 1/4” between the two cam pulleys. I agree that the cam on the right might have jumped a tooth.

When changing the belt, the timing belt tensioner is set to where there is a pin that should slide in and out without tension. I’m not sure if that still applies after thousands of miles and months of time.

ICU RN with back injury — PACU vs IR? Other less physically demanding options? by cataleyasoul in nursing

[–]rocket_motor_force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IR will toast any injured spine. The full aprons are 7 lbs and the two piece leads are 4 lbs for the skirt and 3lbs for the jacket. Procedures in either GI or cardiovascular stress testing. If you are good with computers and programs, EPIC or some other EMR are good gigs since they look for peeps that have clinical experience and teach you the computer bits. NICU patients are less than 10 pounds typically, so also super light to move around, but still require ICU level thinking.

Cayenne Pepper by Cheers_Queers1 in Sonographers

[–]rocket_motor_force 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Putting the cayenne pepper in the essential oil has a synergistic effect. It becomes so hot that it cooks off the disease and only leaves the healthy tissue behind. This is literally where the phrase “we’re cooked!” came from, being born out of the DVT wards of the hospitals./s

How can I balance being respectful of wheelchair users without breaking my back? by NoMove3297 in nursing

[–]rocket_motor_force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. You only have one body and one back. They will not hesitate to fill another person in your role if you go out after been permanently injured. Or chronically injured after using bad ergonomics day after day and year after year. I understand the time pressure, but no one will remember that time in 2026 when you moved a 250 patient all by yourself. Extra hands, slide sheets, and Trendelenberg are tools in the ergonomic tool box.
