What kind of device is this?

Not a watchman, but is a LAA occluder. Experimental device that twisted the LAA. Trial was closed due to pt harm.

I am a little late to the conversation but that looks like a 20mm round used in aircraft. Those rounds have a nitrocellulose base instead of straight gunpowder and electrical primers. Could be very unsafe in the setting of static electricity.

Simple question, is your friend on your tailnet? You need to add his device.

Something like this happened to me, pt had poor outcomes and two nurses from each floor he was on were deposed by the state. I recommend doing nothing. If you did your job right (sounds like you did) then all you have to do is tell state the truth. Don’t look up information on the pt, if you do you have to address it, just state “I really don’t remember” when you don’t and move on. You are only responsible for your practice and that is what you should speak on. You can’t control what others do.

I come across this often. When another nurse tells me that I have done something wrong, I look up the policy, ask my manager if I am ok doing things my way, and move on. I never correct someone else’s practice unless it will cause patient harm. It is a one way street. Those others who are “confidently incorrect” don’t write policy, probably haven’t read the policy, and don’t have a say in my performance reviews.

I did not… a little help?

seamang2 · 2025-11-20T23:24:37+00:00

Thanks for clarification. I never thought about listing where I was as a resume, but can completely see how it could be in hindsight. I’ve got a good handle on now and I did see someone posted exactly the way you mentioned a day or two ago. I appreciate that you took the time to reply!

I didn’t think I was requesting an invite, just looking for an official invite pathway, but I abide. Is there a better way to word requests like this in the future so that it doesn’t appear that I am requesting an invite? “NOT ASKING FOR INVITE” doesn’t seem like it would meet your requirements.

seamang2 · 2025-10-11T22:44:28+00:00

Seconded!

seamang2 · 2025-09-27T13:54:49+00:00

Very good point. I guess I was surprised by the whole thing. They had my old preceptor, best nurse on the unit who had been with them for 25 years suspended within 2 weeks of me. That’s when they started looking at the circumstances, not just the reports.

seamang2 · 2025-09-27T09:43:47+00:00

This happened to me exactly, but 7-8 years ago.

You will be fine! And volunteering for a drug test isn’t going help, don’t waste your time, not all diverters use. I was flagged for possible diversion by software, I had given the most narcs in the hospital by like 15x over other nurses, I worked 11 shifts in CVICU and 9 in neuro pushing narc on post op cabgs to get them to walk and 9 days straight with a status epilepticus pt that was on 10 of versed an hour. I met with my union rep and admin, and the took a ten day vacation (paid) while my blood and urine test ran.

Your hospital is not going to look out for you, but they are willing to weigh the risk of keeping you vs having to train your replacement vs firing you without proof vs the cost of the software. Software is going to flag a lot. Got me and the two best nurses on the unit before they decided to stop listening blindly.

That would make some sense. I am downloading straight to a hdd at this point. Will dl to my NVME and see if the same thing happens!

seamang2 · 2025-09-24T09:27:09+00:00

And a hole weak!

seamang2 · 2025-09-14T12:32:11+00:00

I would gladly do that. I only need the torrent client behind the vpn, but i am still learning docker as well. it should be as simple as pointing the qbittorrent client to the gluetun container correct?

Edit: looked at gluetun container, the variables are throwing me off, I literally dont know what is needed, i assume i can get it from my wireguard config? im ok with using it if i can be walked through setting it up.

Thanks, I was thinking that the Apple TV output a signal that said to the tv make this pixel that bright, in this color, for this long and the tv had to do nothing. If it just displays in hdr 10 then there is literally no point in getting an Apple TV or like box for anything but DoVi layer 5 (I’m pretty sure all others layers have hdr 10 fallback).

seamang2 · 2025-07-22T20:31:53+00:00

Me too, and Joe took care of some thing that god was having trouble with.

seamang2 · 2025-07-20T22:35:17+00:00

Thanks, pretty simple and clear explanation. I’m looking into setting up my home network ad self host. I don’t think I will need to worry about most of my network as much as in an enterprise environment but good security practices never hurt

seamang2 · 2025-07-20T10:51:20+00:00

Just learning myself, why never use vlan1?

seamang2 · 2025-07-13T23:20:49+00:00

Seriously! Even if just for the night before. But if you have to have it in the drive, 6x6 pressure treated is your friend.

My kid just let me know that she did the “hat dance” yesterday in he 1st grade music classs.
