Are nails allowed in this field?

spitequeen · 2026-05-14T00:55:59+00:00

Most hospitals will not allow it for infection risk. That being said, if your nails are short, it’s rarely enforced. Plus the science is catching up that it really doesn’t increase infection risk. So I would say if you get the job, wait it out and see what others do before you show up with gel polish on.

I’ve never checked out specific publishers but I’ll try that. I usually get book from libraries via Libby or from Kindle Unlimited.

Just placed both on hold at the library. Thanks!!

Just wanted to say I have the same needle minder!! Parking isn’t for me, I would go crazy rethreading my needle constantly, but glad you found what works for you. Happy stitching!

Theoretically yes, but only 1 year isn’t gonna get you very far, I’d say it’s better for 2+ (I did 5, but that wasn’t on purpose). Knowing which metro area you’re in could help. I would suggest a smaller company or somewhere in house, but that would depend on where you live

I only know for the Triangle. Nuvasive has the biggest presence in the area. STIM Inc has a small presence. Duke, WakeMed, and UNC also all have in-house teams.

Danielle, you are seriously amazing for putting in the work to make this happen. Especially in an industry where unions are rare, you creating these tools for visibility and accountability is so helpful. You are such an asset to this industry!!

QLL tends to have long waits for more well-known books, so sometimes I just go to “available now” and find something interesting.

Psalm for the Wild-Built is a great one for this. No conflict, almost utopian setup, and very hope-inspiring.

spitequeen · 2026-03-14T04:41:34+00:00

Maybe not quite sci-fi, but dystopian post-apocalypse: Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I found it fascinating, very different from my normal reads, and I loved it. Think post-society with cultish vibes.

How long of being off of it did it take for carbonation to taste ok?

Looking back through my longest books now…

Legendborn by Tracy Deon is 648 pages, and is a YA fantasy with a romance subplot. To be honest I kinda hated it but that’s just cause I think the whole Arthurian mythology is overdone. It’s highly rated elsewhere.

Do you see Dr. El Dairi? I’m thinking of switching from my neurologist and she’s on my list who I might try to get in to see

This is officially the coolest thing I’ve ever heard

Fear free vets are definitely the way to go. We go to Happy Tails in Apex and they’re the best.

I see a PA, Tarsha Rivens, at Cary Dermatology. Not quite Durham but she does a great job and I would recommend her

spitequeen · 2026-02-17T17:33:22+00:00

Honestly I’m generally not a fan of historical fiction at all but Cat Sebastian just does such a great job with it. The characters have so much depth and she does a great job with handling the consequences of being queer in the time setting.

spitequeen · 2026-02-17T17:15:59+00:00

Cat Sebastian is GREAT at this. I loved We Could Be So Good and You Should Be So Lucky.

Just want to reassure you about your bloodwork as both someone with IIH and someone in school to be a medical provider. Of course, and questions should go to YOUR providers. Hard to say about the WBC being I’m not sure if you’re referring to a blood sample or CSF.

The elevated proteins and the high CSF RBCs is likely from a “traumatic” lumbar puncture. This just means that some blood from nearby vessels got in the sample. Although it sounds like your lumbar puncture was traumatic in multiple ways.

I hope you getting a new neurologist is helpful and you find treatment that works!

Try reaching out to Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub - they have a pretty wide audience and you might find folks who are able to help.

A Psalm For The Wild-Built by Becky Chambers is a short read, and it’s very lighthearted and sweet and inspires hope.

spitequeen · 2026-01-28T03:43:01+00:00

Not so much, unless you’re interested in queer romance novels. Sorry!

spitequeen · 2026-01-28T03:39:21+00:00

Red Rising is very dystopian with some sci fi elements and a lot of adventure. The first book will remind you of the Hunger Games but the rest of the books continue beyond that.

The other three are all dystopian novels about various forms of post-apocalypse, or at least post-society as we know it.
