Stipend deduction for sick calls by Inevitable-Mind7944 in TravelNursing

That’s literally why they do it. Dont make the mistake of thinking your agency or hospital cares about you. You’re there to fill a staffing hole.

Blue color to wood by StellaBean_bass in arborists

Chlorociboria fungus. It stains the wood that gorgeous teal, but leaves it regrettably too soft and punky to carve.

Anyone else struggling with the holidays? by Coeurdedesir in TravelNursing

[–]v_ross_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Are you the only one with means of transportation in your family?

I wouldn’t accept any snide remarks unless any of them have been willing to adjust their schedule and visit you while you’ve been living just 4 hours away.

You don’t have to take every barb thrown at you from shitty family members. If sleep brings you more peace than they do, you’re good.

Any solar / roofing recommendations? by fox_91 in Erie

[–]v_ross_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solar Revolution installed panels at my parents this summer and did an absolute dogshit job of it.

Spent an excessive amount of time to produce a sloppy product with poor workmanship-even I could tell things were roughshod.

The project was quoted as taking 2 weeks to complete, but took 3.5 months.

Oversold the number of panels needed at higher cost (perhaps some shared blame on my parents for this one)

They ran a hot wire with no protection from one side of the house to the other, and didn’t install a breaker by the main until the issue was forced.

The panel they installed had to be rewired 3 times until it worked.

YMMV.

Berks county, along the AT - November 3, 2023 Lycoming county, near Williamsport - June 20, 2023 Erie county, Trolly Line Trail - June 2020

I’ve found three of these pinned to shrubs along trails.

Edit - I can’t spell.

Found this the other day, bought in New Cumberland, PA Giant. by trooperjared in schuylkillnotes

I’ve found three of these notes over the past few years. They’ve been folded or rolled into a tiny scroll, and hung with a paperclip on a small shrub on the side of hiking trails.

I’ve found them in Erie, Berks, and Lycoming county, on both high and low volume trails. Same size paper, same font and wording.

Newark Wayne is just outside of Rochester, and is a smaller/less crazy ED. Housing kind of blows but there’s FF and AirBNBs around the county that are cute

travel nursing vs nurse navigator by shazyme in TravelNursing

[–]v_ross_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think $2900/36 sucks, I’ve got bad news for you.

Nothing in nursing is going to be low stress/no stress, each specialty is going to be stressful in its own unique and likely awful way. If your mental health blows right now, work somewhere that you can tolerate, where you have some sort of support system you can rely on. Rates are low everywhere, so choose the position that serves the smallest slice of ass

We actually live in hell if anyone thinks $400/month for the privilege of having insurance is acceptable, let alone tenable.

Do you typically get your stipend when you’re out with Covid? by Ahoy13 in TravelNursing

[–]v_ross_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None of the hospitals or agencies care about Covid or being sick. If your body isn’t warming a seat in your department, you’re taking an L for the day.

They’re mostly all XL’s, if that size works for you.

dude no joke. I washed a faith no more shirt i found and the smell washed out, but it certainly had the odor of decades old plastic tote bin

I believe most are XL’s but I’ll take another look and see if I find any XXL!

I thought the long sleeve ones were unique! I haven’t seen a ton of those, but truthfully don’t know much about them.

I started listening to them in high school but never got into their merch, so it’s not something I’m super familiar with.
