I've been unable to keep anything on my stomach for about 18 hours so I decide to go to the bodega to get some coke + pretzels on suggestion from a colleague. My head is throbbing, my throat raw and dry. I struggle to put on some clothes, my hair a rat's nest. I grip the railing walking up the stairs so I don't pass out. The heat outside complements my fever, my vision swimming. I shuffle down the street like a kind of zombie, unable to walk at a regular pace. I wish I had a cane or something. I catch a glance of myself in a store mirror, my eyes are sunken and have circles under them. I press down the nausea and the taste of vomit and push my body forward, sweat dripping down my back as I shuffle pathetically to the bodega, eyes glazed over. A man walks by me and says, "Yum yum! Very nice!"

this happened to me a lot in nevada. cougars, man. fucked up but true.

my mom was a nurse after I hit elementary school, she was a stay at home mom prior. She went into the field in her 40s and stayed around 10 years. She'd had her masters degree since her 20s, and simply went to Community college to get the core courses for nursing and take the certs. It didn't cost much at all, having all the gen eds already fulfilled. Mainly with nursing you want to be very good at taking exams, as you pay each time.

The bad thing is the hours usually suck, the good thing is the pay +benefits

eh not necessarily, theres such a nationwide nursing shortage you can pretty much pick your hours if you're working in a big hospital

but if you're cool working 12-hour shifts in the ER you can get away with working 3 days a week and make ridiculously large sums of money

from what i've heard from irl graduates is that the nursing shortage is OVA. all of the lower healthcare fields (nurse, pharmacist, etc) are completely "flooded". for example most fresh pharmacist are only getting 20-30hrs/week as no contract temp "floaters" between multiple pharmacies.

I once saw a fat, filthy guy lean all the way out of the window of his filthy scrap metal truck at a couple of 14 year old puerto rican girls to scream "Hey mami." like how can that count as a human behavior.



I once got accused of deserving it for living "on franklin avenue you white bitch" lmao

How much would you sympathize with a west bank settler women receiving similar calls from Arab men?

that's the porblem with the information society and the learn-to-work ethic. almost as soon as a shortage in any field is announced it gets filled while a bunch of learnhaving studylords are still beavering away on their fucking anal bleaching technician diplomas. everything is gay do not Do anything

your wife will still love you and have your illegitimate child so what's your complaint?

also hearing this, one of our biggest hospitals is actually in the process of laying off like half its nursing staff looks like you are better off being homeless
