4.25 km
27:03
6:22 /km

week 7 done.

supposed to do 25mins but i did another 2 mins because i was feeling ok.
but i really need to stick to the program so my body adapts to the requirements of it, i really dont want an injury.

the week prior i did a 22 min run under 6:00/km but i was absolutely wrecked by the end of it. (my c25k phone app has 22min runs instead of 25 mins)

this time i tried to run slower and surpised myself with the time anyway. i know its not the idea behind c25k but even now as a noob runner im excited to start beating times!

my tips:

go slow, pace comes when you dont expect it
i try to stay on flat ground and run on road or footpath
i bought nike vomero shoes. frigan amazing shoes. get good shoes plz.
i take my dog with me, she loves it.
i listen to variety of music that keeps my motivated
i run at night after kids are asleep and get to enjoy the stars and cool air
i wear an LED light band on my arm so cars/bikes/scooters see me in the dark.
i run mostly the same route but i try to mix up which streets i hook down for the sake of variety.

looking forward to getting into a habit of running 3 times a week and knocking over c25k in 30 mins!

we still use trendcare at the public regional facility i work for and it annoys the shit out of me.
recent ward meetings with exec furthered my disdain for it as they encouraged us to continue "trending" every shfit yet in the same breath, tell us its no longer used as a tool for staffing. they say it helps with data collection lol. fuck your data collection.

surely there exists a better program that doesnt require the user to go back to 1995. look i have an IT background and im telling you its gotta be monkeys at the helm of its current form or they seriously dont give a fuck. so why should i? some staff will stare at the screen for 20-30 mins at the busiest time of the morning doing the trend absolutely ignoring pt care.

is anyone else using it and have anything nice to say about it....or have an alternative that works better? surely im not the only one.

hey im interested in hearing other perspectives on simulation-based education sessions.

our hospital has a team that runs simulated clinical scenarios using dummies and role-playing to recreate deteriorating patient situations.

personally i find it quite frustrating as a learning method. the scenarios often don't seem to capture the realities of a genuine critical situation at least in the ones i have been involved in. imo many of the cues we pick up arent able to be reproduced with simulation.

like the other day in one of these sims the educator gave us the persons obs, then 2 mins later said they were hunched over and having trouble breathing... OK so how did we get the obs if we didnt establish this fact already? and this wasnt a new deterioration in the scenario... this was how they were supposedly found.

another sim, the educator just hunched over and was supposedly seizuring but i cant ignore my senses of reality when assessing someone that is breathing normally and pretending to be sick....

like it just undermines my way of thinking so much that i resent doing them altogether at this point.

am i missing something, or do others feel the same way?

im new to healing and Holy paladin. im playing mage with my friends in a guild. we consider ourselves to be casual and competent. then i also pug the paladin giving us the option of having a healer if we need it.

i've read most of the guides i especially like the wowtbc.gg short and concise guides. im running fojjis

i've been to SSC/TK each week and seem to be doing ok. i know my job - keep the MT alive. im now sitting on around 1900gs with several p2 bis items.

First week i was with this "semi hardcore" guild. they gave me some good advice with jiggle cancelling holy light because its 2-2.5 seconds cast time and i need to let it fly when tank gets chunked. up until this point i was just sneaking in flash of lights when i had to and then dropping holy light, but doing this the tank got deleted before i can get the holy light off.

was actually good advice and made sense. this was for Morogrim Tidewalker who hits really hard.

this other "semi hardcore" guild i went with this week were getting mad because the tank died twice on karathress. RL was very critical of my healing after analyzing the live logs or something. but how can i keep the guy up if he literally went from 95% health to 0 in less then 2 seconds. holy light aint going to help. i was jiggle cancelling like i had learned. and because i had mostly full mana because im conserving it by not over healing. i explained this but i was largely ignored. i wish i was recording, i usually do. our guild 4 tanks that fight and have never had a problem...

what do you do?

also he sounded like a moron getting angry all the time, several remarks to people in the guild "if you dont like it dont come back next week" kind of thing.. i wont name and shame but fuck me it took the fun out of the game. perhaps hes training for world cyber games 2026 i dunno. oh yeah they kicked me from the discord afterwards. not sure if thats normal behavior OR if they were were mad at when 4/5 of my SRs dropped and i won all 4 BUT i gave up 1 of them because i felt like it was too much.

back to my point. any for advice for holy paladin? or this specific situation?
there was a holy paladin discord ? Light Club - but i cant find it anymore.

edit: sorry i dont mean to bash anyones idea of how to play the game, there are those who want to min max and thats what makes it fun i get it. im more interested in getting better at being casual and competent.

i stumbled across ads for these roles on seek but it wasn’t super clear what the actual job involved.

i’m 11 years into floor nursing in pall/rehab/dementia. my back is getting absolutely cooked and i’m probably due for a change of pace, even though i still genuinely enjoy most of the work.

i also have an IT background and am pretty proficient in that space. i live in a regional area about 5 hours from a metro centre.

has anyone here moved into WFH nursing roles? what’s the work actually like day to day? what sort of jobs are out there and would my experience translate well?

would you recommend it? a pay decrease wouldnt bother me either
