#energy management career scope

[andhumanslovedstories]

Hi dear. I saw your post about pain management - thank you so much for it, it was an inspiring read, also it made it so obvious that you are truly passionate about being a nurse or rather, helping people and being present for those who need it the most. I wanted to ask - do you feel your job as a nurse affects the care you give in your interpersonal relationships and if yes, then how? rather negatively or positively? this is something I think about a lot bc my husband would love to study to become a nurse because he has a heart full of love and care, I knew he would be so good at it, but we are also having our firstborn soon and I just worry that being a nurse might be so draining that what if there is no energy for me and the baby. I really want to support my husband and I know this might be a silly question, but having read how you think I would so much love to hear your thoughts on this topic!

My big disclaimer for this is that I'm currently on medical leave for depression that wasn't CAUSED by my work but was definitely exacerbated by it and definitely worse when I was on shift. I've also been dealing with depression for a long time, and it's always interfered with my jobs at some point. The main problem is that it's a lot worse to have brain fog at a hospital than it is at an ice cream shop. I consider nursing to be a protective factor for my mental health SOMETIMES. It is work that I find meaning in and makes me proud. It can be an exhausting job but also a rewarding one. Extra compassion is also a double-edged sword: it can make you a better nurse, and it can also drain you that much faster because you get invested. Self-care is a part of the nursing code of ethics because the job in part because compassion fatigue is so easy to get if you aren't careful with your limits.

It is a draining job. I've begged off lot of things due to my schedule and feeling exhausted (but I am a homebody hermit). It's also a job a lot of people balance with raising children. My mom (who was already a nurse when I was born) liked the flexibility of the schedule. I work with dozens of nurses who have children. Many are mothers who are still breastfeeding infants. Some actively participate in their family life, some don't, and I don't know how much that has to do with their specific job. You know your husband. Does he already struggle to balance work/school/responsibilities and personal life? That's an issue with any career, but I do think healthcare is a profession where it can get even harder.

oops another nursing essay under the cut

(Plus, in terms of timing in with your newborn, congrats btw, your husband will have to go through nursing school first if he decides on this track, and minimum that will take like 15 months if he has all the pre-reqs and gets into an accelerated program. When it comes to dealing with a newborn, schooling might be more of a stumbling block than the job itself. I know a lot of people who consider nursing school to be one of the worst times of their lives. He might be able to do LPN [licensed practical nurse] instead of RN [registered nurse]. RN requires a bachelors and has a larger scope of practice and generally higher pay. I know almost nothing about getting your LPN license so he'll have to investigate that himself. I'll say the hospital systems that I've been in not only prefer RNs but often have requirements that people without a certain amount of experience MUST get their bachelors after X amount of time.)

I would also say not all nursing jobs are created equal in terms of labor, emotional and otherwise. My first job was in home health which got me somewhat emotionally enmeshed with the family I primarily worked with, but it also wasn't emotionally distressing. Nurses on our oncology floors and the ICU have a different experience than nurses who work in elective short-stay surgery. And different people find different things draining. I find working with end-of-life patients to be energizing in my work; a lot of people don't. My aunt worked pediatrics because she found working with children must less distressing than working with a geriatric population. Some people thrive in the chaos and speed of the emergency room, while I find it to be a tremendously depressing place that I hate floating to.

I think you'd have to ask my loved ones if really if it affects how much I care for them. Speaking personally for myself: I think it is overall positive for my relationships. I like the rhythm of nursing, I like the philosophy of nursing, I like who nursing makes me be. I like that nursing work is impossible to bring home. You can bring the emotions home, but you leave the patients at the hospital. It's simple for a bedside nurse to keep a strong division between their work self and their home self, but it's not necessarily easy. And again, I'm off work right now and probably will be for a bit longer so. yknow. He should make sure he's got a good support system in place.

Also some states and cities are far, far better than others when it comes to nursing regulations. Are there legally mandated staff ratios where you work? How many hospitals are in the area? Are any of them union? What does the compensation look like? What is the turnover rate? Nursing could be a great profession in general, but it might not be great in your particular location.

My last point would be that working in healthcare can make you feel...disconnected, I guess, from people who don't. Healthcare is such a culture unto itself. Sometimes I'd be like that meme of guy at party hanging out in the corner thinking, "they don't know yesterday I took care of a patient in a situation so fucked and depressing that it's now an ethics case." Or on the other hand, "they don't know that a patient called me their guardian angel and cried while they thanked me." The fact that healthcare is a different world is neither a pro nor a con, but something to consider. Depending on how you spend your days, his life might start to have parts that look very different from yours. I loved having a nurse as a mother and listening to her stories. My father banned all anecdotes involving poop and gore from his presence.

I hope you and your husband figure out the best way possible for him to use that compassion, which might be nursing or might not be. Either way, good luck to you guys!

[imanes]

he also said that talking about the occupation of Palestine is outside of the scope of our mission. our mission is broadly speaking intersectional gender studies lmao. if they refuse to take a stance I'll have them remove the word intersectional from every aspect of their online and offline presence i swear to God. and I'll drag them through the mud!!

he's a chemistry professor and managed to make gender part of his career but he draws the line at us talking about politics (the NERVE) despite historically having supported the Palestinian cause LOL btw that thing he's trying to veto was sent to me by the FOUNDER of our organization. I'm seeing her tomorrow i hope she raises hell. his institution is deep in zi+nist pockets fr two years ago there was a harassment campaign against two of my friends for standing up for Palestine and guess who was spearheading this campaign? his coworker. if he wants me to gender-mainstream the occupation of Palestine he truly isn't ready for the mountain of resources i have on hand.

and the thing is he doesn't know yet that i'm crazy. i can and i will make it my life mission to kick him out of this organization now like I'll fully dedicate all of my energy to lobbying against him. being in that board is an honour, it's not a necessity. he doesn't need to be there and i hope he announces his resignation at the upcoming general assembly. i don't want to quit because he's a bitch i can handle and the rest of the board has been very supportive thus far (we have a majority yes vote vs his one no) but if push comes to shove i already spoke with my family and they're all on board w/ me sticking to my guns. prayer circle <3

Hackathon Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts for Student Participants

Hackathons are exciting, high-energy events where students come together to solve real-world problems, collaborate, and showcase their skills. They offer fantastic opportunities for learning, networking, and potential career boosts. However, they can also be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. Understanding proper hackathon etiquette can make the experience smoother, more enjoyable, and productive. Here’s a guide to the essential do’s and don’ts to help you navigate your hackathon experience.

Do’s for Hackathon Success

Do Plan Ahead

Preparation: Before attending, review the event guidelines, understand the theme, and decide whether you'll participate solo or as part of a team. If you’re teaming up, meet beforehand to discuss ideas. Ensure you have all necessary tools, such as laptops, chargers, and pre-installed software, ready before the event starts.

Bonus Tip: Bring snacks and water to stay energized throughout long hours!

Do Be Open to Learning

Growth Mindset: Hackathons are about learning as much as they are about winning. Embrace the opportunity to develop coding skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek help from mentors and peers.

Remember: Even if you don’t win, the skills and knowledge gained are invaluable.

Do Communicate Clearly with Your Team

Team Dynamics: Effective communication is key. Ensure everyone understands the project’s direction, roles, and task distribution. Regular check-ins can help keep everyone aligned and address any issues promptly.

Transparency: If you face challenges, communicate them openly with your team to resolve them quickly.

Do Show Respect for Others’ Ideas

Collaboration: Hackathons bring together diverse ideas. Listen to and respect all contributions, even if they differ from your own. Offer constructive feedback rather than dismissing ideas outright.

Team Spirit: Fostering a respectful environment helps your team succeed.

Do Stay Organized

Project Management: With the fast pace of hackathons, staying organized is crucial. Use tools like task boards, to-do lists, or project management software to keep track of tasks and deadlines.

Code and Documentation: Organize your code and documentation to ensure a smooth final presentation.

Do Take Breaks

Self-Care: While it’s tempting to push through without breaks, taking time to rest can enhance focus and prevent burnout. Utilize breaks to grab a coffee, stretch, or participate in event activities.

Recharge: Many hackathons offer activities between coding sessions—take advantage of these to unwind and connect with others.

Don’ts to Avoid at a Hackathon

Don’t Hog Resources or Tools

Share Fairly: Hackathons often have limited resources like power outlets and equipment. Be mindful of sharing and use resources efficiently. For instance, if you have access to a power strip, allow others to use it too.

Respect: Sharing resources ensures a positive experience for everyone involved.

Don’t Ignore the Rules

Follow Guidelines: Each hackathon has specific rules and guidelines. Ignoring or bending these rules can lead to disqualification and unfair advantages. Understand the rules thoroughly and seek clarification from organizers if needed.

Fair Play: Adhering to the rules ensures a level playing field and respects the event’s integrity.

Don’t Overcomplicate Your Project

Scope: Ambitious ideas are great, but keep in mind the time constraints. Focus on a simpler, well-executed project rather than an overly complex one that may not be completed on time.

Functionality: Your project doesn’t need to be perfect, but it should be functional and demonstrate your team’s capabilities.

Don’t Be Overly Competitive

Sportsmanship: While competition is part of the fun, avoid behaviors like trash-talking or sabotaging others. Maintain a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.

Focus: Aim to win but keep sportsmanship and camaraderie at the forefront.

Don’t Be a Lone Wolf

Teamwork: Even if you’re an expert, don’t isolate yourself from your team. Share your progress, seek feedback, and assist others. Collaboration often leads to better outcomes.

Participation: Working together strengthens the project and enhances the experience for everyone.

Don’t Forget the Presentation

Final Impression: A well-executed presentation is crucial for making an impact. Practice presenting your project clearly, highlighting its key features and benefits.

Preparation: A good presentation can significantly influence the judges, even if the project itself isn’t perfect.

Bonus Tip: Network!

Hackathons attract talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. Take the opportunity to network, make new connections, and engage with mentors or industry professionals. These interactions can lead to future job opportunities, collaborations, or partnerships. Networking is a key aspect of the hackathon experience, so don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and engage in conversations.

Conclusion

Hackathons are incredible learning opportunities that allow students to grow both personally and professionally. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can ensure a productive, enjoyable, and respectful experience. Whether it's your first hackathon or your tenth, proper etiquette will help you build stronger connections, work effectively with your team, and make the most of the event. So, gear up, gather your team, and dive into the world of hackathons with confidence!

Should only rich people get to make art?

Because, truly, that's what the writers' guild strike is about. The streaming services have driven down the pay scale for professional writers to the point where literally nobody, no matter how popular their show is, is earning a living wage. Nor can the job be done as a hobby or a side-hustle, because when the studios do hire you, they want you on-call almost around the clock for up to 10 weeks.

So it's become a job that only trust-fund kids will be able to do, going forward. Is that who we want creating all our art? I mean, sometimes I think that that is what we want; it's certainly how we act. Oh, sure, hobbyists can (and do) make art, as long as it's stuff they can make using cheap or throw-away materials and solo or with a tiny team of friends. (And that, mostly only if you don't have kids, because that plus a job will leave you no time nor energy to make art.)

You'll still be able to make cheap art, if you have any time and energy left from your job (which your employer's investors will see as reason to install harsher management), that basically nobody will get to see. And that's all.

So, basically, we're heading back to an art world like Europe during the Medicis. Any art that's big, expensive, and regional or national in scope is either state-funded propaganda, rich-people vanity projects that glorify the funders, or the "career" of people born rich enough that they don't need to earn a living and can fund their own projects' production and distribution costs off of the interest payments on their inherited wealth.

You know. Your "betters." Professional art as a working-class job, or even a middle-class job if you get famous for being good at it? Well, that depended on unions, and artists' unions have never not been under attack, but what it really depended on was our sense that we were a wealthy enough and successful enough culture that we could afford more independent art.

Do we want to be that any more? Or is art going to go back to being a privilege reserved for people who society thinks are "better" than you?

CYBERPUNK 2077.

according to canon: canada was one of the countries least affected by the collapse. vast resources and a small population made life easier. the slow rise in global temperature made the region an agricultural paradise.  a nice place to live, if the corpos let you.   being such a stable area , most of the major corporations set up large operations across the country. open corporate military force kept the american nomad population from streaming over the border. many of the smaller nomad families did find their way into canada, but only with the full cooperation of the corporations in question. many of the small families were hired and trained wholesale. CHOOH2 production is now one of canada's largest agro-exports. the new luxury market in hardwoods is its largest growing industry. but the true scope of the canadian economy encompasses all of the major corporations, products and services of the world. the national government is all but gone, replaced by corporations.

claudette morel grew up in a poor, diverse neighborhood in montreal to loving, working class parents who encouraged her interests in sciences. her maternal family were climate refugees, nomads of the thelas nation from south america who managed to enter canada’s borders after the collapse. claudette’s single-minded pursuit in organic chemistry accelerated her academic career and allowed her to have amazing job opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry. inevitably, she was hired as an intern by  biotechnica in night city, california. progressing quickly in her field of expertise, claudette was promoted to field specialist. sponsors provided resources and seed capital to support her research on the coastal edges of the badlands, far away from the city. living out of a secure prefabricated lab-unit on a foggy, isolated beach in coronado, she studies the potential for seaweed and aquatic algae as a cheap, bountiful food source that would be able to grow one billion tons of resources in just 6 months; including dry food, biofuel, bio-plastics, carbon-capture, and fertilizer. undersea agriculture can potentially be commercialized to provide a cheap alternative food source to the insects raised in protein farms, and aid with marine restoration to rebuild the local fish population.

claudette spent eighteen months living on the southern california coast, intermittently returning to night city to give mandated in-person reports on her progress for the company’s head scientists. in the badlands, she has had to learn to be resilient and vigilant, defending her research from nomad raiders hoping to steal valuable technology from corpos... or worse, death squads paid by megacorporation petrochem’s subsidiaries to eliminate competition in the energy industry. the lab is built to survive bombings and artillery fire, protected by deadly quadruped robots that patrol its perimeters. several of her cousins are members of the thelas nation, who protect the borders of the americas’ west coasts, collaborating with biotechnica’s mercenaries to offer additional security.

Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis

The fact that a white girl from London managed to make an album that sounds exactly like something from the Motown or Stax catalogue is nothing short of amazing. The meticulous choice of songs, producers, and backing musicians is definitely a part of it, but none if it comes together without Dusty's beautiful husky voice. Son Of A Preacher Man was written so thoroughly in the style of Aretha Franklin that she cut her own version of it just a couple years later.

Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On

Oh how things change in only a few short years. The bright and bubbly psychedelic sounds of Sly Stone's Stand is long gone and in it's place is a dark brooding groove machine. The peace and love hippie movement was dead and Sly Stone was spending more and more time with the Black Panthers. Tensions in the band were high. The resulting album is tense and pessimistic with deep tight grooves that drive the songs. The bass lines are twangy and crunchy, the melodies phased out in favor of chaotic harmony and counterpoint. There's A Riot Goin' On is one of the greatest masterpieces of funk.

Beyoncé - s/t

Beyoncé Knowles was already a great musician, but her fifth album marked a change in the scope of her music. Every song has an accompanying video, which is neat and all but I'm here to review the music. Thankfully the music is very good. Beyoncé is fairy thematically tight keeping to an idea of beauty theough imperfection. This is explored through the lens of relationships mostly, the negative and positive emotions that can arise and how to deal with them. Its refreshingly human. A lot of the songs slowly expand over time into broody epics, and some fall into the very 2013 trend of triumphantly epic melodrama. Beyoncé is a great album and the start of an era in her career that, imo, would keep getting better.

The Sex Pistols - Nevermind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols

Vulgar, crude, idiotic, with no sense for good taste or a coherent political statement. Nevermind The Bollocks is a horrible album made by horrible people. It's also a fantastic album and a complete game changer for punk music. Johnny Rotten is a tasteless idiot who doesn't know what anarchy is, but he also plays loud obnoxious music that captured the imagination of other loud obnoxious teens. I think an appreciation for base and stupid things is very important, especially when when they have the sincere energy of Nevermind The Bollocks. And I realize that it isnt clear from the test of this review, but I do like this album.

Frank Ocean - Blonde

It's actually unbelievable that Frank Ocean followed up Channel Orange with an album that even remotely approaches its greatness. I could see it being a tossup for someone as to which one is better, but I'm personally on team Channel Orange so I think that ranking Blonde above it is a misstep. That said Blonde is an amazing neo soul masterpiece. It manages to keep the languid pace of its predecessors while bringing in some more psychedelic influence and a lot of songs use the slow pace to play around with a few ambling avant garde soundscapes. Also, and this is a weird thing to note but, Frank Ocean actually gets a really good verse outta Andre 3000. I love me some Outkast but Andre tends to phone it in on guest verses and he brings his whole ass to Solo (Reprise) and I think its partly because Ocean actually hands him a beat he can work with. Basically this is a man who commands respect even among his elders. People want to work with Frank Ocean and the results speak for themselves.
