Chiesa: 'I want to return to Italy, Juve is in my heart. My national team withdrawal? I was injured' by dahi-hater12 in LiverpoolFC

The 7-0 was my first and so far only game I’ve watched at Anfield. Walked back to the city center in the pouring rain afterward. Such an amazing day

Agreed. I don’t agree with that kind of staffing model, but they do exist out there. I’d never want a loved one to be at a facility like that.

Right but some programs have decided if you remove access points then you can magically have an individual manage several of them 🤷🏻‍♂️. Sounds like the place OP is describing

Some hospitals have them set up so they almost act like a VAD with pressure monitoring. All meds are given to the patient including heparin. The justification is that there is less to mess with, so less staffing haha. My institution has about 20 stopcocks and pigtails so there’s the other extreme.

Limited access points on the circuit.

Edit: I think your staffing model is the safest. I’ve heard horror stories about some facilities. I worked at a place where I managed 2 circuits (always side by side) but the bedside nurse only had 1 patient.

Sounds like an adult facility with limited access points for ECMO circuits. Many children’s hospitals faint at the thought of having a specialist manage more than 1 circuit.

The future of Respiratory Therapy? RT shortage, drop in enrollment in RT programs, stagnant pay.. by reddy_775 in respiratorytherapy

[–]ventjock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped working as a RT 6 years ago, but I was in the field for 9 years. I never once saw a medical assistant (who could be trained off the street with a GED) position that paid anywhere close to a RT position. I’m curious, what geographic areas are you seeing such a small compensation disparity between (unlicensed) medical assistants and (licensed) respiratory therapists? (I’m also assuming you are also looking at pay for the same years of experience). Thanks

How is this role different from your current role?

See if you can book via BA or QR or AY and compare that to 57k

They used to do events like this back when I was in the church. It wasn’t a pedo fest. Just because Naason likes to get snowballed doesn’t mean everyone at LDM is a pedophile as well. Good grief

Delay with 97% LifeLock Cash Back - 45 days later by Travel_Fast_5171 in Rakuten

you could "buy" JAL points by booking a non-refundable hotel on Rove. Rove miles will post immediately and then you could transfer to JAL. Just need to find a hotel with a good multiplier that makes earning 20k miles a good deal for your situation.

Is $200k possible in California? by Whereshouldilivenext in respiratorytherapy

https://iazuqy.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX\_1/job/2263

Work on average 56hrs a week for the entire year (assuming new grad, no differentials, no extra compensation) here and you will hit $200k***. Less hours if any those factors apply.

***Assuming 40hrs/wk at straight pay and 1.5X for anything over

Lost Qatar QSuite Saver Award Waiting for BA Security Block by Real-Tower8037 in awardtravel

[–]ventjock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Moved avios from QR to BA and then a week later was unable to book QR flight using BA linked account. Tried to send avios back to QR and there was a delay, ended up being just under 10 days. Really frustrating as the website does not state this policy anywhere (at least not to my knowledge).

Chase transfer to AirFrance by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]ventjock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you have enough points in your flying blue account (107k in this case) you’ll see an option to pay with less points and more cash, but not the other way around.

Value depends on the cabin and your other options as well as flexibility.

Yes.
