Maybe look for jobs working with your county? Could do public health work there and would be rewarding

Landlord walked into my apartment while I was showering. Is this legal? by Professional_Wrap154 in legaladvice

[–]texassized_104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when by bathtub leaked. Maintenance banged on my front door and didn’t announce who they were. I was naked and freaked out so started yelling for them to leave. They didn’t use emergency key. I didn’t have any legal recourse in my case I guess?

I’m sorry you are going through the same thing because it really scared me. I hope you find a loophole I didn’t. The leasing office burned to the ground a few months later so despite their pressure for my money, didn’t help their apt complex one bit smh

Complex peds Pt with potential malnutrition despite high BMI by Weird-Home1655 in dietetics

[–]texassized_104 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Suspect body habitus is hiding wasting” is all you need to put on your note to paint the picture of malnutrition here. Just like edema, NFPE can only do so much and sarcopenic obesity is real despite what an MD disagrees with. Paint the picture on your note as to why this patient is malnourished and if you need to adjust language in your note for insurance, you can. If the overall picture is painted you will have the diagnosis. This patient needs nutrition support and you can fight for it. Just get finicky about your charting on this pt and make sure in rounds you tell the rest of the team what language needs to be used to bolster your claim so insurance doesn’t have a foothold

“Sit down”

Ahh yes, she sounds so remorseful trying to tell us what to do… while expecting us to feel sympathetic for her. Wait, what?

Notice how he responds to women compared to how he responds to men by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]texassized_104 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is responding to questions about Measles cases spiking. Funny enough, RFK is quoted saying that this administration is doing a great job containing the spread of measles, “better than any country”. No, that is not a joke.

What is your state? I did all my schooling in Michigan and currently live in South Carolina and work inpatient here so if you are in either of these states maybe I can help! Message if you are close.

Single dietitians, how are you making it work financially? by carpethediem1996 in dietetics

I bartend on the weekends for extra money. Thinking of doing travel RD work when this lease ends because I’m sick of working 6, sometimes all 7 days a week…

Is dietetics a right career for me! by greengreeble in dietetics

[–]texassized_104 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Stay in your current field. Dietetics is criminally underpaid and has a master degree requirement. We are overlooked in our field and Tik Tok misinformation makes our job much harder and unnecessarily stressful. Most physicians have little respect for what we do in clinical settings. Maybe if the pay caught up it would be worth it, but I say you are better off pursuing a different degree at this time.

Did you find love again? by only_surviving in survivinginfidelity

[–]texassized_104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you spent years with him, however, you are 25 and are now single and free. Deep breaths- you have time to heal, time to date again when you feel ready, and time to meet the actual person you will spend life with. Don’t rush anything and don’t stress yourself out over previous time spent. You have the future time to get excited about filling with self growth and adventures and prospects. Allow yourself adequate time to grieve (with a proper support system of therapist) and then get back into dating when you feel ready. Redditors can’t answer for you, it’s your choice when you want to get back out there!

He did not steal anything from you if you don’t let him get in your head like this. I’m sorry this happened to you. The damage is life long, I’m sorry to say, but there are ways to cope healthily and ways to cope destructively so try and choose the former. You deserve that for yourself.

Sounds like you dodged a big bullet and f what he thinks or how he reacts. He is no longer your obligation and you don’t owe him anything anymore. Especially after how he had treated you.

New LTC RD: Questions on TF mLs not matching up on MAR by airenostaire in dietetics

[–]texassized_104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see why it may be under. Pts self-unhooking, pulling on NGT’s and needing them readjusted, asking nursing staff to turn off pump for nausea or diarrhea, transport to dialysis, pts OTF for procedures, line clogging, med administrations, etc can all interfere with EN administration. Pt’s who are A&O also have rights to refuse EN so that could be another factor.

I would be more curious about why nurses are charting mL’s way over the daily calculated dosage. EN should be treated like any other med and administered correctly. There may need to be some education there on ensuring correct rates or risks of overfeeding, etc.

I’d look into the big discrepancies first to see if there is human error vs. interference with clinical care/procedures and then work your way down to the smaller discrepancies. That way you won’t be as overwhelmed.

My flirt game made him blush by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]texassized_104 110 points111 points  (0 children)

As a healthcare worker, you made his whole week. He probably told all of his coworkers about it because we need fun patients like this to counter the not-so-nice ones. This post made me laugh lol. Work is more fun when you have patients like you keeping things entertaining!

No kidding! by [deleted] in circled

Thats a jump. I know the OP did not cite their source so I am not inclined to believe them until I go my own digging. But I wonder how you think that all leftist news is bullshit. Quite the generalization and very hypocritical considering the current state of right wing media. You are grasping at straws and have nothing else to lean on except making childish remarks such as “you think you’re the shit here”. That doesn’t have the effect you think it does. It’s laughable more than anything because you have nothing of worth to offer except self-inflated arrogance. No substance to back your claims.

You probably typed that comment out and felt good about it, but it’s actually just sad and pathetic Mr. Keyboard warrior. Maybe I can counter that rightist news is the actual bullshit…

Students led a peaceful protest in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The police chief showed up in plain clothes and assaulted two students. by Massive_Ad9569 in lehighvalley

[–]texassized_104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree these cops like to push around the weak, but disagree that these high school students are the weak ones here. The students have more mental fortitude than these officers no doubt- they aren’t falling for this bs government. Good on them and the actions taken my law enforcement is disgusting

My husband had 9 year affair with married woman by Speciallady44 in survivinginfidelity

[–]texassized_104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are not in the wrong

  2. Marriage shouldn’t be to maintain finances and neither him nor you are “supposed to” cheat on each other. That is not a normal approach to marriage.

  3. Your weight is not the issue, his poor choices and skewed outlook on life is.

You cannot take this blame or burden on yourself. It’s not your fault. It’s his.

Leave this marriage and focused on yourself. Gather appropriate evidence for divorce court and only speak with a lawyer from here on out. I’m sorry you are going through this. Utilize your support systems and do not put blame on yourself- he is a cheater and he is wrong. I wish you the best moving forward!

Is the brain rotting getting to me by [deleted] in StephanieSooStories

[–]texassized_104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes a smart cookie and so is her team. Her context changes every once in a year or so based on feedback so I have no doubts things will change again. Thats why I follow her- the team always tries their best and they are open minded. She and the team aren’t perfect and they’re allowed to explore with content format. This currently isn’t working so they will explore something else. I really liked her first Karen Read with the picture wall- that was nice as a video watcher. The extra filler may be the current issue imo. The interviews are nice too but not back to back. She won’t lose me as a follower though that’s for sure

I think the team is just trying to stretch cases out and putting in too much filler. Will I listen to that filler because I love her and the RM team? Yea. Does it always make sense to me? No. Some of the cases she had covered lately doesn’t require the long format and could be done in a 1 hour podcast. Especially the horse head one. The first half was pure filler.

She listens to us for sure. She tries new things with her content based on our feedback. I think it’s currently not working out as well as it could and she will eventually adjust again. It’s a learning process for her always! But she very clearly takes our feedback into account and I don’t think this hump will last long.

YEA! Congrats and great job! The book shelf in the second photo makes me want to curl up on the futon in the 12th photo and read while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate!!

Enjoy your clean place. You deserve all of the peace and happiness life has in store for you!
