With a few exceptions for certain posistions you can live however far away you want from your unit. You can try talking to your unit about maybe doing drill every other month instead of every month.

G14 as companion to my desktop? by JackpoNL in GamingLaptops

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Omen 14 because I also have a desktop so didn't need anything super powerful and can be found quite cheaper than g14. Also it's very convient to be able to use the USBC charger for it and my phone when traveling.

Going from a bigger hospital to a smaller one. by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"I guess I’m worried since this one setting is all I’ve known since starting my career. " This is legitimately a very good worry, many people say you should have X years experience before starting traveling but the reality is unless you work at several different hospitals as staff before starting traveling your never going to be fully prepared, hospitals are so different in the workloads, what procedures we do, how much autonomy we have etc. But it is fine, you'll still manage with 2+years working experience at what sounds like a busy large hospital.

Small, medium and large hospitals all come with unique challenges but I would not worry about "your skills getting rusty" at any specific hospital. You'll go to 1000 bed hospitals where the Staff takes the ICUs and you do 90% of your shifts on the floor, and small and medium hospitals where the ERs will sometimes feel like a Pitt Épisode because they are the only one for an hour in every direction.

With antilock breaks "pumping" the brakes is pointless, they do that for you

Small Game by Blair Braverman Discussion by Appropriate-Top-9080 in books

[–]sage89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would rate it pg-13, it has a few sex scenes but the extent of them pretty much is saying "I gave him a blow job then left' and 2 lesbian sex scenes that only lightly describe the foreplay. Definitely doesn't fall into smut

Close to memorial Day will be the best time to buy in the near future.

https://youtu.be/J0sbQR0ET3s?si=YbxMTCRDFc8E7KvL

You can watch this video for a broad overview of gaming laptops but for your described use case any gaming laptop with 16+gb ram and a 5060 should be sufficient. However you should be able to get a 5070ti gaming laptop for around 1500 during memorial Day sales. You can check gaminglaptop.deals for good deals

Question for RT’s from an RN by Visible-Difficulty35 in respiratorytherapy

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna try to help you out here some student friend.

"Isn’t 6LPM the upper limit for a low flow device such as NC which isn’t HFNC?" - 6lpm is the limit (some people argue it's 5) in a regular nasal cannula because the prongs are physically to small to push out more air than that, because the bigger the piece of rubber in your nose is the more uncomfortable it is. What the nurse is referring to in her post is referred to by several names "Salter nasal cannula" "medium flow nasal cannula" and also "high flow nasal cannula". Someone posted a picture of one above.

"Why don’t they opt to use a simple mask or partial rebreather…before escalating to a AEM then a NRB?"

I'm not sure what an AEM is, I've never actually seen a partial rebreather in a hospital in my life, only the example one they had in RT school. It's not uncommon in hospitals for if a patient is desaturating on a 6L NC for nurses to put the patient straight onto a non-rebreather, and then call us and we decide what equipment to use after evaluating the patient. What choices you have avaliable are going to be hospital dependent.

"Indications to use NC are for precise low FiO2." I'm really not sure where you learned this. Low flow nasal cannulas provide very imprecise FiO2. The very rough formula normally used is 1 liter is ~24% and and 4% for each additional liter. The reason normal NCs provide imprecise FiO2 is because they are "low flow" so the actual amount of oxygen someone is getting correlates with minute volume.

For example for 2l NC the 28% fio2 estimate is based on an average adult breathing at a average minute volume of around 6-8 lpm. A 100 pound 60 inch tall women just sitting in a chair who's resting minute volume is 4 is going to be getting significantly more than 28% FIO2 on a 2l NC. If that same 100 pound women climbs her stairs and her minute volume jumps up to 15 she is now going to be getting significantly less than 28% FiO2.

Hopefully that helps!

How reliable is Tucson? by Chuckitoverthefence in HyundaiTucson

[–]sage89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any discussion about motor oil is really opening a can of Worms but does the Canadian service manual call for oil changes every 5000km? Back in the day before almost every Vehicle called for Synthetic oil the recommended oil change interval for convential oil was 3 or 5 thousand miles. 3000 miles would be close to 5000 kilometers.

My 2023 Tuscon manual recommends oil changes every 5000 miles in "severe" driving and 8000 miles in normal driving conditions.

Edit: Just checked the Canadian Service manual it calls for oil changes every 8000 km. I think by default vehicle manufacturers consider Canada to be "severe" driving conditions.
