Hi everyone, I’ve been an RN for a little under two years. I honestly love my job at times, despite the stress that comes with it. I work on a “dumping unit” at a level 1 trauma hospital, so it is very physically, cognitively, and emotionally demanding work. I like the hard work. I even like the chaos, but I want to do work where pay is determined by performance, not just years of service. I also want more money, frankly. I started doing charge 5 or 6 months ago (feels like a lifetime because I’m charge for 90% of my shifts), so I’m thinking about moving into hospital administration or management. Medical sales is calling my name as well, since there’s essentially no ceiling on compensation.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be moving to a new city soon, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any websites/platforms that are good for finding nurse/healthcare roommates? I'm most likely going to be working nightshift at my job, and it would be great to live with someone who is also on nightshift and not have to deal with being quiet at night/them being loud during the day while I'm trying to sleep.

Any suggestions?

As the title suggests, I’m wondering how many of you would say ‘yes’, if someone asked whether you recommend going into this field. Personally, I would not. If someone were intent on becoming a nurse, I would make suggestions, like avoiding med surge, to help them maximize their wellbeing + pay + job opportunities, but my hard answer would be ‘no.’

What do we think?

Hi! My manager has now told me for the second time to let her know when I’m ready to train to be charge. On my unit, nobody is forced to be charge and you can’t do it until you’ve trained.

For context, I’m 24 and still a new nurse. I’m a little bit short of 9 months. I work on a 36 bed medical progressive care unit. I’m about 80% sure I’m going to say yes to doing it, but I’m trying to mentally prepare for what this role will entail and be serious with myself about whether I want/can handle this added responsibility.

My managers all give me great feedback which makes me feel like I can handle this, but I just wanted to make a post and ask for advice/tips/guidance as far as what this will

hiiii, I'm currently a nurse on a progressive care unit in Michigan (almost at 7 months) and I'm looking to move to Los Angeles once I've been working for one year. I actually, against my better judgement, applied for a position at UCLA a couple days ago and was promptly rejected without an interview lol. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone here is currently working as an RN in LA and would tell me about the hospital they work at, whether they like it, what their resume looked like when they got the job, etc. Any info/advice on how you got there and what it's like now would be appreciated!

Also, while I do appreciate the thought behind anyone telling me the cons of working in LA, it's somethi

Hi, I'm new to the area and thinking about living in an apartment building called the Aldor. I'm just wondering if anyone here has lived there/has heard anything about it. Side note: I'm going to be working night shift at my job, so I'll be sleeping during the day. Is downtown Royal Oak noisy? This is one of my main concerns with living close to downtown. Thanks!

I’ve never been diagnosed with autism and I’m not saying I necessarily think I have it, but I think I’ve used “masking” for my entire life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve feigned laughter, sadness, excitement, even anger when I’ve determined I’m “supposed” to be experiencing those emotions. I even do it when I’m alone.

It usually isn’t 100% fake. It’s like, 25%, or 50%, or 75%, like there’s some kind of genuine emotional experience under the mask, but I’m not comfortable with expressing emotions in the muted way that I experience them in. It’s more of a “sure bet” to exaggerate them. My mask is just like a security blanket to me, even though I know people can see through it. I don’t k

Can you do too much redlight/are there risks associated with excessive use? In the research I've done I haven't found evidence of risks associated with overuse, even though I know the recommended frequency is 3-5 days/week (something like that). I do it pretty much everyday for 12 minutes in a full-body device. lmk!

Hi,

I'm posting to ask if anyone has had an experience similar to mine, or if my product is most likely defective. I purchased a 32 oz FreeSip recently and I'm having issues with it leaking. One of my Owala's, the one in question, I use only for hot coffee. Whenever I use this bottle, there is significant leaking/spillage as soon as I open the cap, like it pours down all sides of the bottle. I do not overfill the bottle, in fact, I leave above a 1/2 inch to 1 full inch unfilled because of this problem. I'm not throwing the bottle around and shaking it like crazy or something, however, the bottle does travel with me, either in cupholders in my car or in side pockets on my backpack. A wat

Is parking at IM west free on weekends? It’s a pay-by-plate lot, but the app says payment isn’t available on weekends. Tons of people are parked here, though?

I’ve recently seen an uptick in people on the internet saying that majoring in CS is unwise. For reference, I’m about to graduate nursing school, so this has no personal relevance.

I’ve always assumed CS to be a good major because…computers are like…everywhere😂 and all companies are online these days. I just kinda assume anything tech related has good job prospects and earning potential, but it seems like the tide has shifted on this, or at least public opinion on it has. I see people now talking about the CS major like it’s the kiss of death. Thoughts?
