Worth reporting an NP school professor or is this the norm?

I am in advanced physical assessment. This professor has been the worse one I’ve had by far. She simply just does not teach, for her live lectures she throws on a couple youtube videos. She does not add any comments to them, just rolls them on and calls it day. I have had professors show youtube videos during lecture and didn’t mind, but they also actually taught and would have content on powerpoint slides.

This professor has powerpoint slides, but it is just a couple links of youtube videos. Is this typical???? I just took my midterm, and I did acceptable but I studied extremely hard for it because I literally did not know what would be on there. There are textbook chapters assigned so I used those to base my knowledge but it is very broad, and somehow the midterm contained questions that were not even in the textbook. No study guide of course. To be fair, professors don’t actually know what questions are on the exams, but I still expect something.. anything. Cause a couple links to youtube vids for lecture out of several topics in the textbook is not it. I did not have an issue with my previous patho and pharm class. Is this worth escalating or just pick my battles and try to make it through this class?

where to get tires changed?

I drive a FWD and the tires in the back are old and need to be replaced. Front tires are newer, but been driving on for a year now. I’ve bought two new tires to replace the old ones (I had to order them myself because no tire place could order my specific tire) and just looking for a place to put them on for me! The only thing is that I’d like to have the current front set of my tires placed in the back so I can put the new ones in front. I called Gerry’s already but they are booked until after labor day and charging $80. Anyone know a place that is affordable? I also called NTB and said they charge $45 to change/move EACH tire. I’ve tried Matt’s Tire Shop as well in the past and they were okay. Wondering if anyone has other recommendations!

Can be outside of baltimore as well!

where can I eat a soft shell crab in baltimore?

title!!! What places serve a solid soft shell crab? Can be a sandwich or something else. I know about Ekiben, I’ve had their softies last year and they are incredible. A little too pricey this year though! Doesn’t even have to be in Baltimore, can be in the surrounding area. Please send recs!

Experiences working on an LTC ventilator unit?

I got an offer at LTC facility where I’d mostly be on their ventilator unit. I have never worked with vent patients before, the most I’ve done is trachs and suctioning, however these are residents that are stable. Some people do get better and get weaned off, but most don’t. Anyone work on these kind of units before and can shed a light of what I’m getting into? I imagine it can be depressing but I’m more worried about the acuity even though they are stable.

Crazy bites on back after hotel stay

This is my partner’s back. We were in LV for a trip and our flight got delayed to the next day so booked a one night hotel. Hotel was nothing special, old, but it seemed pretty clean. We checked out the next morning with no issues, got on our 5 hour flight back to the east coast last Tuesday. We sleep in our bed at home as usual. Wednesday morning his back is crazy looking like this and it is really itchy and swollen. He has been bitten by bed bugs in the past before and he says this is typical for what his bed bug bites are like. I counted 8 bumps/bites…

I have no idea what would have bit him so much besides bed bugs. We flipped the bed and bed frame searching for them but couldn’t find anything. There may have been one spot where we suspected bed bug poo on the bed frame that were just a couple little dots but it’s an old bed frame and 50/50 could be dirt or BB poo. We looked around our bedroom near the bed and didn’t find any other signs of BB. We did find a dead carpet beetle but that’s about it. We thought maybe a carpet beetle could’ve bit him but 8 times seems quite unlikely.

We did the usual launder clothes and bedsheets on hot. Ordered a zip up bedsheet case and placed interceptors on the bed frame legs. Anything else we should be doing or just monitor for more bites? I have NOT gotten bit at all. This happened on Wednesday and it’s now Monday. I would think they would come and try to bite but nothing in the interceptors. My partner is away on a family trip so it’s just been me. I’m thinking maybe it was just a couple bed bugs that hitchhiked and feasted on my partner. I’m hoping I caught them in the bed sheets/blankets and they’re dead from the washer/dryer already. Or could be chilling somewhere in my bedroom still. Is it possible he got bit at the hotel the previous night and didn’t react to the bites till 24-48 hours after?
