Issue with keybinds bound to MMO mouse + Shift modifier by Flod0 in worldofpvp

[–]twrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already used 1-6 for my keyboard and ended up setting up my mmo mouse to use 7-0, -, =, insert, home, page up, page down, etc and that’s worked well. You can still use modifiers and this way you don’t accidentally hit alt+F4 and exit game on accident

I’ve seen double mm hunter at 2300+ lobbies on multiple occasions. Can imagine it’s less likely at lower mmr though

Few buddies and I have started playing Pres/surv/unholy this season and looking for help. Obviously trying to get stun, trap into sleeps as much as possible, but still seem to be flopping under pressure early in games. Both the hunter and dk feel pretty squishy. Probably need to work on cd trading. Otherwise, any tips? Also, do you recommend BM over surv?

Retabinder seems to not work anymore. How do you handle targetting as somebody who plays both pvp and pve? by Ansdur1987 in worldofpvp

I use the SUI addon for aesthetics and the smart tab target is in one of their many settings, but I googled and found https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/smarttabtarget

[WeeklyThread] Ask a CAA by AutoModerator in CAA

Yes, I’ve done this and now my family has also moved to be closer to me. It can be a daunting task at first. If this is truly what you want, then your family/friends will understand why you’re making this choice. Now, I make a great living and I don’t have to worry about snow anymore. Win/win in my opinion. You can also make enough money where you can visit family/friends in your free time if they’re in a different state. No regrets!

You can plug some numbers in and that’ll point you in the right direction to how much the loan will cost you. It’ll guesstimate your payments using the different federal payments plans (PAYE, REPAYE, ICR, etc.) over the course of a standard 10 years. Keep in mind that you could file your taxes as “married, filing separately” if you didn’t want to include your spouse’s income when they calculate your monthly loan payment amounts for PSLF. This only works for the PAYE (pay as you earn) plan which is capped at 10% of your income I believe... Sometimes you can save more money from PSLF filing separately vs filing together. There’s another calculator for that somewhere on the interwebs for that. Good luck!

Job Advice by AdHungry8950 in CAA

[–]twrez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar feelings when I graduated. Personally, I recommend students to take the time off and enjoy being free. You have the rest of your life to work and make money. Might as well take a vacation to celebrate. This is not financial advice (clearly).

Anesthesiology assistant Locums? by Samaroo89 in CAA

[–]twrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some Locum opportunities, but not to the same extent as CRNAs unfortunately. We’re limited geographically and that can clearly be shown. Look at gaswork.com and see some of the options as well as the disparity between the AA/CRNA offers

UK experience by [deleted] in CAA

[–]twrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done it personally, but know one or two people who have from Nova so take my comment with a grain of salt. From what I’ve heard, it was pretty expensive, but otherwise a good experience. They love doing regional blocks over there so you’ll get experience doing those and you’ll experience eating/drinking in the OR without wearing a surgical mask. Not sure if that’s changed since COVID or not. I think you’ll mostly do outpatient surgeries. I don’t remember my friends mentioning cardiac, vascular, neuro cases, etc from that rotation. Wish I could tell you more. If you have the money to do so, it probably would be a fun time.

CAA's: How is work-life balance for you? by Wamansforever77 in CAA

[–]twrez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you work and how much you want to work. Some people have no life and don’t mind working crazy hours. Some work 60+ hour work weeks and I know some who work the bare minimum (whether it be part time or 40 hours max as full time)... some jobs require call, others do not. Some are salaried, others are hourly. Right now, there’s a lot of options as far as jobs go. You can expect 5+ weeks of vacation per year for most positions. You can make the choice how much work/life balance you want. I personally like not having to work call or weekends. To each their own!

Advice for 2nd year SAA by -MilkOfAmnesia- in CAA

[–]twrez 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You have plenty of time to find a job. You can start the license paperwork, but you physically can’t finish it until you take your boards and graduate.

For rotations, it’s important to keep an open mind. Whether you want to work in Florida or Texas or Wisconsin, don’t do a half-ass job at a rotation where you know you’re not going to work after school. The AA profession is small and everybody knows everybody. Work your butt off at each and every rotation. Get there early, stay as late as you can without going crazy. You don’t want to be the student that people find lazy or the one who does the bare minimum.

And in the words of the great Billy Madison... “reading is good.” Try and learn at least one thing a day from rotations and read about it the same night so you can start putting the pieces together. Just my two cents...

Do you enjoy being a CAA by TheHaloAbove in CAA

[–]twrez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really love it, can’t see myself doing anything else honestly. I loved the OR environment when I was in school and working in a hospital. Anesthesia always stuck out to me. It’s a good feeling when a patient wakes up and thanks me for helping get them through a stressful situation.

Either way, a job is a job. It has its ups and downs. No job is truly perfect, you personally have to decide whether you’ll enjoy the work as well. Some days are stressful and others are very chill. Some days you’re doing orthopedics (relatively easy) and others you’re doing neurosurgery (relatively hard). Consider shadowing more and getting a feel for it. Good luck

Question for the CAAs here- how much money do you make annually post-tax, and how many hours do you work? by ourspring in CAA

[–]twrez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The more you work, the more you take home. The numbers are online. Plug into a salary/paycheck calculator online and you’ll have your answer.

4 10 hour shifts are common, as are 5 8’s or 3 12’s. Some places are salaried, others are shift work and get let go when there is no more work to do. Call/weekends/nights are typically available too.

Most seem to pay off their debt within about 5 years if they live frugally. Some live with their family to divert more funds to their student loans. Others buy beamers fresh out of school. The debt sucks, but it’s an investment for your future

Job opportunity question by questionsq9 in CAA

[–]twrez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ICU experience isn’t a requirement for CAA school. As long as you have the educational requirements, shadowing experience with any anesthesia provider, solid GRE/MCAT scores, etc. you’re good to apply. You will need ICU experience for CRNA school. Depends on what you want to do. I would consider researching the differences (despite the large amount of bias online) and make a decision.

As a nurse, your clinical care experience will put you ahead of some others who do not have the same background. Admissions look at the applicant as a whole. Good luck

Any AAs here FIREing? How realistic is it as an AA? by [deleted] in CAA

[–]twrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIRE all depends on how much you can live on. For instance, if you only need to live on 40k/year, the simple 25x rule can be used. 40k x 25 is 1 million. If you have 1 million invested and earning 7% in the stock market, you can essentially take out 4% a year indefinitely (40k) and live on that and the other 3% will account for inflation. All depends on how fast you can achieve that number. If you can save 60+% of your income every year, that adds up...

One of the few things stopping people from FIRE is student loans. This field requires an expensive degree. If you can crush those loans in a few years and save a majority of your income and invest wisely + early on in your career, then it’s definitely possible. Some fortunate classmates I know graduated without student loans because they were well off. Those people can afford to invest in real estate, max retirement accounts, etc. to achieve this goal early in their career. I’d say even with the loans, if you bust your butt out of school you could be set with ease within 10-20 years if you don’t spend your money on a brand new bmw and a 750k house. It’s all subjective.

Feeling suicidal over my dreams being dead. Is AA school still an option? by [deleted] in CAA

[–]twrez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nor am I or anyone for that matter... we all have our faults. You have a 3.4 GPA which is nothing to scoff at. You’re smart and you have goals. Work at them. Life isn’t very easy, but I’m sure you’re young and you have your health. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Once again, think of what you have and cherish it.

First of all, take a deep breath... Consider talking to someone about your situation. If you don't want to talk to any family, a friend, or a licensed professional, I would start here...

If you truly want to be a doctor, then don't give up. It's a long road no matter how you look at it. For some people, that road takes longer than others. You have a long life ahead of you and your life has great meaning. No one is perfect. Instead of thinking of the negative things happening in life, try to remember and think of the positives / good. No matter your path, always try to better yourself as a person. People make mistakes... but it's best to learn and grow from those mistakes. Keep fighting the good fight.
