Anyone else healing faster the more ink that fades? I had insane blisters my first two sessions and now I barely get any. Also the inflammation goes down quicker whereas before I'd stay inflamed for almost an entire week.
These questions are specifically impossible to the point I am failing despite my greatest effort. This is my 2nd degree so college is nothing new, in fact Iv already passed Physiology but the school doesnt accept the transfer.
College was not like this in the past, especially prereq level courses. The level they are asking is MCAT level difficulty. Its unfortunate because I'm sure I couldve excelled if I just made it to core since its more focused on ATI than it is on McGraw Hill. This is border a scam and will be filing for Borrowers Defense so I dont pay a penny to this institution.
Right now many SoCal RTs are graduating and getting their licenses about to enter a job market with literally 0 jobs. It has gotten to the point where even very experienced RTs are holding on to the SNF jobs due to how dry the market is. The average pay is still the same as it was in 2019 ($32 an hour). The only jobs you'll see appear are very rarely the bottom of the barrel spots no one wants to work at such as Kindred which pays $28 an hour and low paying subacutes where everyone is miserably toxic so they run you out. Even those two options I mentioned have 500 applications fighting for it in this bad economy because even though inflation is bad, a lot of RTs are willing to take the low pay just to have any job which is understandable. But now you'll have a 3rd year of new grads with no jobs to go to so I feel this year will become crisis levels.
SNF jobs used to be where new grads would at least settle until they win the acute hospital job lottery or go back to school for PA/MD. Now with no more SNF jobs nor PFT jobs nor Sleep lab jobs ever popping up within a 100 mile radius of LA for weeks at a time, these new grads will have to either relocate or work minimum wage jobs until the market one day hopefully improves but that's very unlikely with the BBB medicare cuts. As I said in another post, low pay leads to more burnout which leads to more angry attitudes overall. People will stop going the extra effort because why do it if you're living paycheck to paycheck or even worse going homeless like my coworkers. There is so much resentment from the RTs who been trapped at SNFs for over 5 years because they're just living rejection after rejection emails so they're not at the SNFs by choice. They went into RT school thinking they'll be different by getting a hospital job but then face the reality of how competitive the job market is. 3 years ago you'd have 200 application per job, now you have 500.
I just got promoted from floor RT to NICU RT and my page doubled from $32 an hour to $64. Magically just like that my "burn out" disappeared. In fact I actually want to work even more hours for the OT because this is life changing money. I think the issue with many RTs isnt the career, but the pay.
Any one notice how with inflation getting worse and gas prices going up, RTs have been a lot meaner and willing to go extra effort? That would going away instantly with a market adjustment raise and a clear pathway to higher pay over the years of your career. The best thing that could happen to RT that would satisfy all the overachievers would be to be able to make RTs become CRNAs/AAs without having to go back to nursing school/take the MCAT.
With the way things are now, the only way for higher wages is to job hop but then this leads to a lot of staff turnover. This also leads to lack a respect for RTs because none of the other staff ever meets one long enough to develop a professional relationship. They think were just cheap contract workers who are disposable not valuable enought to hire full time. No RT I know has any pride because the LVNs are earning more than us with CNAs now far behind.
I have 24 hour fitness right now and the stair climber machine is different everywhere I go. Some are Matrix and some are Stairmaster. So far the best one is in Redlands because they have fans and its overall the most modern however I don't like how the cardio machines are all lined up against the bathrooms so its always people walking by for the bathroom.
Eastvale is nice that its up stairs on the 2nd floor but its very limited and abit older. I'm willing to change gyms once my membership expires to one where the stair master is in a location not too busy.
