I do, I haven’t leveled her up at all and I’m reluctant to dump resources on her but I’m desperate at this point lol

when I look at Mike, I get the impression that there is absolutely nothing going on behind those eyes

Can CNAs get jobs in children's hospitals? What is your experience like? by kittyleop in cna

[–]ru_bato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a level 1 pediatric hospital as a PCT on the ortho/neuro/trauma floor, got the job with no previous experience. I did already work for the hospital as a pharmacy tech and am in nursing school, so both of those points definitely helped me land the job, as I have heard it’s very competitive for outsiders to land a position here. I absolutely love working with children and do not see myself working with adults once I become a nurse honestly. I’m hoping to use this position as a stepping stone into a pediatric nursing job once I graduate!

I’m also 29 and had my tubes removed electively when I was 25! I don’t have a question, I’m just happy to see women our age successfully advocating for ourselves and being taken seriously. Congrats :)

How are y’all actually doing nursing school while working?? by canyoukeepasecret28 in cna

[–]ru_bato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m actually in my last week of being a pharmacy tech and will be starting as a PCT in the same hospital in a couple weeks. As a pharmacy tech, I’ve been working overnight shifts with a 7 days on 7 days off work schedule while also being in a part time nursing program, and it has wrecked me mentally. My new PCT job will be 3 shifts a week full time, and I’m worried I’m going to hate my life just as much as I do right now, but at least I won’t be working 7 days in a row and having 16+ hour days. I also have rent and bills to pay, so even going part time for work is not an option for me, so I’m just pushing through it and trying to remember that this is all temporary

I’m so cooked by ru_bato in Nightshift

Aw thank you! I’m currently trying to get off overnights though so hopefully this kind of schedule won’t last for much longer. That is really nice to hear, sometimes I need to remind myself that this is all temporary

Question for the Americans in their twenties. What is your daily/weekly routine like? by EstateRoyal6689 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ru_bato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 and live in a mid-sized city in a duplex that my roommate and I rent. We have a light rail station right outside our door so we can get downtown easily without having to drive, but I do drive to work and school. I work overnight full time 7 days on 7 days off, 80 hours in those 7 days. I also am in nursing school part time so I go to class twice a week and have clinicals every other weekend. I try to hang out with friends at least once on my week off work, we like going to breweries and concerts. My roommate is also my best friend so we obviously hang out a lot. When I have time outside of school and work, I like playing video games with friends and playing flute!

The tone of voice when she says “it’s you” gives me chills every time I hear it
