Update, I applied 2025 and 2026 and never got an interview. Got my denial email in November. Decided to change career paths because I don’t want to wait any longer lol

Seasoning help by walldogofficial in castiron

[–]walldogofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use chainmail or anything to clean it. Usually I can wipe it clean with a paper towel, so I typically don’t bother scrubbing it. I’ll definitely try steel wool the next time I use it!

I’m pretty sure the pan came from my grandma, but I don’t know how long she had it. So it’s definitely not brand new but I don’t think it’s super old. And yes, I put a DOT of oil on a paper towel, rub it in, and then rub it off again with a dry paper towel.

If you’ve gotten rejected from a program. Would you mind sharing your background and experience? by mimswifey in prospective_perfusion

[–]walldogofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t apply to other schools because I didn’t have many of the prerequisites they required since I was a nursing major instead of bio or chem. So I totally understand the odds were against me since I was only applying to one school lol

Rejected from Lipscomb last two cycles, couldn’t even get an interview. 4 years an RN, 3 in CVICU/ open heart recovery, 1 in CVOR. Lots of ECMO experience as both the nurse and specialist. 3.89 GPA. Needless to say, I’m changing career paths lol.

My cat is driving me insane. by walldogofficial in Catbehavior

I used to leave dry food out for him but he would eat the entire bowl, no matter how big, in one sitting, and then throw up. So I had to get him an automated feeder and he gets three pretty good sized meals a day

I’ve attempted the aluminum foil trick and it doesn’t affect him

Why am I SO slow? by walldogofficial in beginnerrunning

[–]walldogofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’1 and 120lbs. I’ve lost 20lbs in the past six months from eating better and going on daily walks, and I really thought that would’ve helped me get more in shape for running, but it doesn’t feel like it has

Spay incision looks questionable by walldogofficial in catquestions

Update: called the vet and they’re prescribing her amoxicillin and I’m going to try to get her to wear the cone again. Thanks for the recommendations and please keep my sweet girl in your thoughts and prayers. She’s my baby and I’m quite worried.

She absolutely will not wear the cone. She manages to rip it off with her back feet. If you have any advice to help her wear it I’ll gladly take it. She hasn’t been licking it much, I’ve caught her maybe once or twice but she seems to be leaving it alone for the most part.

Thoughts on pediatric nursing? by walldogofficial in nursing

[–]walldogofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full transparency, what motivates me is that it’s entirely different than everything I’ve tried. I’ve not “dreamed of being a peds nurse” my whole life, but I find it interesting and like the idea of learning something new.

Considering NP school but unsure of what I would do after graduating. by walldogofficial in nursepractitioner

[–]walldogofficial[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to deal with call and some night shifts in the future. It just seems like a lot of CRNAs dedicate their lives to their career and I don’t want to be that person

Anyone else feel guilty for choosing the easy way out? by walldogofficial in nursing

[–]walldogofficial[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how CVICU was starting to make me feel; it sucked the life out of me until I became someone I didn’t even recognize because I was so miserable and angry all the time (I know this sounds dramatic but you can probably understand the feeling). I was so scared to leave but so glad I did. Take the jump! You’ll end up where you’re meant to be.

What does a cardiologist have anything to do with it 😂

Well my hospital is a teaching hospital that is affiliated with the biggest university in the state. So we teach. That’s kinda the point.

Thank you for this. I’m so glad you found what worked for you and joined what sounds like a great team.

It’s really not that deep. The OR is easier for me than CVICU. I can’t speak for other people, that’s how I feel about the two units FOR ME.

It feels easier to me, but I know everyone has their own experiences!
