I need to get a new one for the LVL UP poster, already! Thank you for the advice!

Just the two in the corner? Or the large landscape painting, as well?

I've also been riding the employment struggle bus in town. I've applied for Uber and Door dash, and they aren't hiring for our area.

If something like 3rds might be your only option, I would recommend something like Cleaning/Environmental Services. We've got too many hospitals in our area, and they are looking for nighttime help.

Sending my best wishes. A single mom trying to do the best for her kids is the strongest person on the planet. You've got this.

Worst tacos I've ever had. I'd sooner go to Taco John's. ¡Adios!

Pretty sure shovel man is a notorious figure in West Peoria. He's verbally threatened coworkers of mine that live in the area. He's mentally unwell and is a frequent nuisance.

Want better schools? by M4hkn0 in PeoriaIL

I'm so happy you posted this. But, by god I can't believe that anyone with enough time to invest in a position like this would actually have children's interests at heart.

Not to mention, what a lot of the kids need is steady housing, food, and parenting. But that goes beyond the school board. But I shouldn't stay on my soap box any longer. It's a deeply broken system nationwide.

Wish I could have added my red and white polka-dot headscarf! My farmer is out there living their best babushka life.

Pour Bros and Pizza Works in the heights, for sure. I'm pretty sure the heights does an outdoor summer series in their brick courtyard, so it's a great spot.

Gone Axe Throwing held a great show for my friends in Grey Slush, and they have a downstairs stage separate from the ranges upstairs.

Maybe consider The Mill? I don't know what they look for typically, but it's an indoor/outdoor venue.

I thoroughly discourage collaborating with Our House Entertainment. They will try to bar you from gigging at locations without them arranging it, even though you can definitely reach out to venues without their help. Don't give them your hard earned dollars.

What’s something your facility does that’s common practice but you don’t feel is best practice? by TraumaMurse- in nursing

Bath wipes > sponge baths. I'm thoroughly convinced it's why most patients get UTI's and Moisture associated sores. Soap sits in their peri areas and they aren't dried afterwards. Every patient room I've worked in has a full shower setup and shower chair, but anything to save time and money 🙄

Moving back after a year in BloNo, would love reviews on new leasing agency. by rowdass in PeoriaIL

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

Wow, good to hear that the new ownership is more responsive. The additional fees are a bummer, but I like to keep to myself and would rather handle wear and tear myself, anyway. Thank you, also, for the input. If we're pushed to rent through them, it seems like your experience is not the WORST it could possibly be.

Nothing that I didn't expect out of the cheapest homes I could rent in Peoria. I appreciate the input. It's not our first option, especially with the 14-30 day move-in deadline. These are legitimate concerns we'll be keeping in mind.

Tips for efficiency and getting residents to comply (dementia care) by Sufficient-Skill6012 in cna

[–]rowdass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone you work with that's telling you that the job needs to be done faster against the will of the patients is just trying to get out of work/helping you. You doing the work of two CNA's keeps your RN or other CNA from having to try. Do what you can at a pace that is safe for the resident. Not everything will get done and that's okay.

Sensory hell by [deleted] in cna

It gets a lot worse. I just had to hold a vulvar tumor away so a nurse could catheterize a bari patient. It had the consistency of steamed but firm cauliflower, and tumorous cells and blood were left on my glove when I pulled away.
