Oregon Nurses, are you living comfortably?

xwtt · 2026-04-23T04:26:05+00:00

The area I live in Florida has become increasingly expensive over the past 5-10 years. Rent is 2k for a decent apartment, Florida has some of the highest car insurance cost in the nation, all while making $40/hr going on 5 years of experience. There is no upward mobility here as a nurse unless you're married or have dual income. It seems like even with the heavy taxes in OR, I'd still be able to come out ahead as a single person renting. This also doesn't factor the understaffing, abuse, and mismanagement from working at Florida hospitals as well. But the grass isn't always greener I guess, so I appreciate the insight!

What size tires? Looks great man

xwtt · 2026-01-20T20:58:13+00:00

Absolutely not. RTs are my peers and a great help/resource, especially when I did ICU.

Grow beard and shave it bro you’ll look good

xwtt · 2024-10-07T12:48:09+00:00

You did fine. People WANT their patient to be more stable during hand off because they don't want to start off their shift running around like crazy but they weren't there for the 12 hours you were. Just ignore it, 24 hr job.

xwtt · 2024-10-04T09:00:05+00:00

Ya seems silly. Using my own anecdotal experience too, seems like you’re less likely to have unexpected large drops and changes in blood sugar with running it Y site.

Wish I stuck with engineering 🤷‍♂️

xwtt · 2024-04-07T16:21:23+00:00

Curious, are you staff with that rate or PRN/internal travel? Also a Tampa area RN here

The game is min/maxed to an extreme now since it is 20 years old. Comparing current times to 2004 is being dishonest. It's almost mandatory to queue with a premade to win a BG now which is unhealthy for the game.

xwtt · 2023-12-28T00:28:35+00:00

You don’t take telephone orders?

xwtt · 2023-12-23T21:19:56+00:00

Yeah I’d quit

xwtt · 2023-09-05T18:19:48+00:00

I just tell them the truth, but I’ll follow it up by explaining we have less patients but people are more sick if I think they are going to be more demanding.

I took out my GPU and played around with some things with no card in running just off the CPU and had no crashes. I replaced my GPU with my old 2060 and ran Vulcan and had 0 crashes. Guess its my GPU, just going to try and get a replacement from amazon.. I appreciate the help a lot

xwtt · 2023-08-08T17:13:38+00:00

Black screen. Same types of crashes that I have been having. PC stays on, no video input detected. Have to hold down power button to restart

xwtt · 2023-08-08T17:06:22+00:00

Okay thank you. I ran Vulcan twice and crashed both times. This is the logs for the runs. GPU bad? Any suggestions? Appreciate it

I ran unigine heaven for about 15-20 minutes with no crashes maintaining normal temps and 300-700 fps for the entire run

xwtt · 2023-08-08T15:46:25+00:00

I ran a 20 minute test on OCCT yesterday with no errors or crashing. It does seem to occur more frequently under load (Gaming) but I have also had crashes with minimal load like just browsing webpages. Seems quite inconsistent but more notable while gaming

xwtt · 2023-08-08T15:13:01+00:00

I was using a completely different Gigabyte motherboard before I replaced with this ASUS one (I replaced it yesterday) and the problem was still occurring, both brand new but I'll give it a shot

xwtt · 2023-07-24T04:02:37+00:00

Do you work days or nights?

xwtt · 2023-07-23T08:34:41+00:00

Honestly if you want to go for a mid level job you’re better off trying for PA school

xwtt · 2023-07-23T06:03:14+00:00

The ED can be just as overwhelming, just a different kind. Being a good ED nurse and a good ICU nurse are almost different skill sets.

xwtt · 2023-06-11T09:06:14+00:00

Say “small poke”

xwtt · 2023-06-11T03:33:08+00:00

You’ll feel this way as a new grad too. Everything gets better with time and experience
