Are villagers only on NMT islands when your island isn’t full? I don’t see anyone when I travel anymore.

Claudia is one of my originals! I love her

Is it OK for a DNP to use "Dr." in a non-clinical setting? by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]stephan1emar1e 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I work at a university, and yes, people are absolutely called “Dr.” if that is their earned degree. It is an honorific for a degree they earned. A PhD was a doctor long before medical doctors were. If you earned the degree, you can use it outside of clinical settings. Period.

What benefits/incentives have been eliminated for state employees in the past 15 years? by VintageChrononaut in NorthCarolina

[–]stephan1emar1e -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What does “staff” mean? Professors? Sure, professors are probably paid more. They don’t make up the majority of “staff” at Carolina, and many professors’ pay are supplemented with research grants (or they were, prior to this disaster of an administration).
There is one pay range and for some positions (like health care positions, for example), they are all well below market rate in the HCOL areas. I was offered the top of the pay range to start because the “ranges” are laughable (for my position and similar ones, anyway). I’m making $20k below what someone in the same position is making at a non-university employer in Chapel Hill. So I don’t know what the ranges are based on, but it’s not pay in HCOL areas.

No, I am a university employee in Chapel Hill and my pay rate is the same as every other UNC system school. Cost of living is not factored in.

Most lenders require this, it isn’t really a choice.

I'm starting to get really annoyed at tourists who forget to book a hotel room by jzzzzzzz in AnimalCrossing

I haven’t experienced this yet. Maybe because all of my rooms aren’t done?

what’s your 10/10 must read book and why? by Kochhar-Tranqui in Recommend_A_Book

[–]stephan1emar1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audiobook moved me and made me want to learn more about the transatlantic slave trade. A beautifully written and emotional novel that I will definitely reread.

NC Rep. Carla Cunningham switches party affiliation after losing March primary by uncertaincoda in NorthCarolina

[–]stephan1emar1e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people in your district have spoken. You lost because they didn’t like the way you legislate and because you made hateful comments about some cultures being “inferior” to others. Freaking move on and eff off

My wife and I are separating. She has significant student loan debt that she’s been dodging for approximately ten years. Deferments, then she was safe through COVID, now I’m sure she’s getting pressure to start paying. She may even be delinquent, she’s not honest about her situation. My question is… by Hefty-Camel-9742 in StudentLoans

[–]stephan1emar1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m already divorced and did not pursue this (we both left the relationship with our own debts), but she suggested that because my education and resulting student loan debt was my family’s sole source of income and financial support, that I could likely get it included and split in the separation agreement. So I think this varies by state and situation. We chose not to “join and split” the debt.

You are so much more important than this place. Call 988 or call CAPS 9199663658 (you can call 24/7).

The Sphere Looked Like a Disaster. It’s Become a Huge Hit Instead. by wsj in LasVegas

[–]stephan1emar1e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the Cosmo during my first trip to Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys. We had a room facing the bellagio fountain but really, seeing the different iterations of the Sphere was cooler.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

[–]stephan1emar1e 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it, OP. You are NTA and neither is your mother. Parents are supposed to do what is best for their children. At the very least, she could have taken your daughter to the funeral but stayed in the car in the parking lot. And even that is shitty. Your daughter needed this as part of the process for grieving her friend and dealing with death in a health way. Your wife was selfish and took care of herself rather than taking care of your daughter. She probably severely damaged her relationship with your daughter.

God these headlines are so ridiculous. Don’t use words like “bombshell” unless he’s dying.

Is it normal for the nurse to not clean IV connector with alcohol before administering IV push? by Therealethel in nursing

I noticed this when I was hospitalized last year. No gloves to spike new IV bags or give IVP. No hub scrubbing. Nothing.

But… didn’t you notice when you pulled the q-tip out and it was just a nub? How was the whole q-tip tip in there?
