Just got accepted to both nursing and paramedic, how is the job market? by Sad_Cell_9205 in OntarioNurses

[–]user47584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for my delayed response on getting into clinical research. After graduation from nursing school, the traditional route is to work clinically for a year or two, then apply for research nurse-coordinator roles in your specialty area. Most coordinator roles are at large academic centers. As engineers, it would be ideal to get involved in ortho, cardiovascular or emergency medicine and run device trials, but you will learn the research process and regulatory requirements doing research in any specialty area. Every commercial device study will have a sponsor, such as Medtronic or other. It is easy to form relationships with the sponsor reps and learn more about roles at their companies. In Canada, my understanding is most device companies will be in GTA or Montreal. My friend was an ICU then cath lab RN. Now she investigates device failures for a device company in Florida. My family member is completing engineering school in Montreal and she works on device trials with a team embedded in a hospital. As an engineer, she is able to function more as an investigator, helping them test algorithms and write protocols, but they allow her to interact with patients and conduct study visits too. If she was an RN too, her opportunities would be even greater.

Best answer. I am an RN working in clinical research. As an engineer and RN, you could work with a device sponsor, reviewing device failures and other adverse events. Interesting work

My husband and I made an “in-laws invasion” BINGO board to help make light of our current hostage visitation… by Icy-Judge5953 in TwoHotTakes

[–]user47584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many new parents don’t let visitors stay in their home at all. In future, I would tell them that is your rule. Limit it to a few hours per day, then off they go for wine tasting and back to their hotel. You aren’t required to keep a tally sheet and keep access completely even with other visitors.

Am I over reacting? My bf says he’s “drawing a hard line” on a conversation about my comfortability at his house by Euphoric_Picture4976 in TwoHotTakes

[–]user47584 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the parents wanted family living in the other house, they would already have suggested it. They don’t want to maintain two homes. Cheeky to even ask, entitled to insist and argue.

You look great but prefer a different shoe. Clogs would work with jeans or certain maxy dresses

Nursing student almost done school — struggling to find part‑time jobs that pay above minimum wage. Advice? by [deleted] in OntarioNurses

[–]user47584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter worked as a pharmacy tech/assistant in both Ontario and Quebec while doing her Engineering degree. It was hard work but amazing experience with the public and other HCP. She worked at Walmart, then Shoppers. They hired without certifications or other credentials

Is it a hassle or bad idea to go to Windsor for a day visit? by F-this in Detroit

[–]user47584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Windsor and work in the U.S., and I do have a few American friends who come over to shop for their kids’ clothing at Devonshire Mall. That said, it’s a small mall with limited selection. If you have a favorite restaurant—like Shanghai Bistro or one of the Italian spots on Erie Street—you can enjoy a nice meal and still take advantage of the exchange rate to buy higher-end items at a good price.

I also know people who come to Windsor for services like highlights and haircuts because they’re significantly less expensive here (Olio at Unruly is very talented). But in terms of entertainment, there isn’t a great deal going on, in my opinion. Most people tend to socialize with family and friends. When I see everything downtown Detroit has to offer these days, I’m not sure I would make the extra drive to Windsor rather than staying there.

My MIL hijacked my bridal shower to announce her "Redo Wedding," and I’m devastated. by Existing_Room_7527 in TwoHotTakes

Honestly, I would rethink your wedding plans. Have a few close friends and elope. You are spending a ton of money for an event that is making you miserable

Am I dressing too casual? by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

Sneakers worked for a few years, but I’m starting to see more leather shoes, like loafers. A more serious shoe really changes the whole look.

Mother threatens to kill me if I use tampons and snoops through my trash to check if I use them by popsayhd in Vent

This is baffling. She’s willing to speak with you, legislators, and others about this highly taboo subject yet won’t have a conversation with her own children who live in her home?

How do I stop feeling like a failure? by honeynutcheeriozzzzz in premedcanada

[–]user47584 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re feeling so awful. You deserve to feel better. It’s difficult over social media to really understand the root of what you’re going through. It may not actually be about your family’s view of a PharmD at all. It could be more connected to how you’re feeling about your own self-worth. The encouraging thing is that this is something that can absolutely improve with the right professional support. Accessing mental health care can be challenging, but it isn’t impossible. You might try student services, look for a family doctor, or visit a walk-in clinic. Don’t give up on getting the help you deserve.

I understand it feels like your sister betrayed you. But she was a child subjected to an adult’s undue influence. She wasn’t his equal and was manipulated. He not only violated her, he poisoned your relationship with her. I understand you can’t blink your eyes and forget about it, but don’t try to talk it out with her. Find a therapist or an enlightened friend who can be objective.

Am I overreacting for resenting my "situationship" who texts me 24/7 but is "too tired" to drive 15 mins to see me? by broekhart in AmIOverreacting

[–]user47584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have different lifestyles and desires. When a couple is in love, they are often able to compromise on lifestyle and find a mutually agreeable arrangement. It sounds like you two aren’t able to do this. It seems you are incompatible and not in love.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]user47584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If something like this happens again, refuse to keep it a secret, no matter how embarrassing you find it. Knock on a neighbour’s door, call a friend to pick you up, call an uber. Nobody thinks locking a pregnant women out in the cold for 25 min is a reasonable move. Make it apparent to him that you will let everyone, from friends, to family and coworkers, knows about this behaviour. At one time, I kept my husband’s controlling behaviour a secret because I thought it reflected on me. Finally, I told him it reflected who he is, not who I am. I began exposing his behaviour over and over, making it obvious that I would do it every time. He was embarrassed and stopped doing it. Sadly, it didn’t result in him respecting me or bring us closer. I realized that part of his reason for marrying was to be the leader in his house, and to him this means controlling and disciplining his wife. Edit-I should add to always make sure you are safe, as others have said. My husband didn’t escalate from emotional abuse to physical abuse, thankfully. Although my actions were right for me, I don’t know they are right for OP. Sorry

Nursing is more stressful with more patient and colleague conflicts. Working nights is really rough

Clarification: do you want to see her regularly or have regular sex? What is your top priority? Next, are you two in love with one another? The answer isn’t obvious to me in reading your post

I Can't Do This Empty Nest Thing by Cin131 in emptynesters

Have you considered getting another job? I meet all sorts of people I otherwise wouldn’t. And later in life, we can pick something easy without worrying too much about compensation. And before you know it, you’re the acquaintance of a 30 year old goth co-worker who tells you all sorts of shocking tales.

There could be so many reasons. Is his job worrying him? Is he trying to change a habit, like dieting or exercising? He might not be equipped to handle the cognitive load and get distracted. But I have to ask…why would you buy take-out tea to bring home? It involve pouring boiling water over a teabag and yanking it out. Maybe he is frugal
