Go to the OR. I worked ED a long time and my happiest coworkers left for either OR or specials. You already do recovery and patient education as an ER nurse. I prefer ermds to surgeons usually but that’s just whatever. ER is better if you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder but you can do that from anywhere if you join enough committees. If you already have hem/onc floor experience I would look at ambulatory infusion center too. Once you get certified it’s cake and I loved the work/patients when I was there briefly. I don’t want to be down on the ED but most people know in less around a year if they can tolerate it long term. RN stands for refreshments and narcotics right?

I’m a little older than you and years ago I took similar steps. Getting rid of “distractions” for me did help but it left with me emptiness as scrolling or whatever had become second nature. I moved to the slow Internet, gopher, Gemini, much later lemmy but in my case the distractions gave shape to my problem not the problem was my distractibility.

Being in the moment for me took practice and the cultivation of calm. As cliche the e as it sounds meditation helped me find what calm felt like and that allowed me to cultivate it. I had stopped doing social media in my late 20s, stopped going to bars everyday and then moved across the country.

The reset of moving allowed me to attempt all new habits but I had not yet changed enough to appreciate what I had. I would have probably gotten the same benefit just being open to change where I was. Wherever you go, there you are is legit. Video games, alcohol, cocaine, social media or whatever were not keeping me from happiness. I was using them to replace the work of finding contentment.

I was a poor craftsman and I blamed my tools. I probably set my “personal development” (whatever that is supposed to mean) back years by making drastic changes to my circumstances and still being miffed I wasn’t “fulfilled.”

I can’t say that any of that is applicable to you but I tried a lot of things and the “problem” if it can be called that was between the keyboard and chair for me. I should have started by asking myself what do I want and then Iinterrogating that answer until it confessed.

The world’s a big place. The Internet isn’t real life. One judges one’s self by one’s intention but judges others only by their actions.

None. I don’t remember who I’ve argued with online the next day. I do have lemmynsfw muted

No, it’s fine. You can trust the state’s monopoly on violence. No way that could ever be used against you.

Get a scissor jack and cordless impact wrench with fittings for the jack and lugs. You still have to break the lugs by hand but everything else is Nascar fast with the impact wrench. It takes the suck out of using the scissor jack. I personally just carry around a floor jack. It’s too big and kind of heavy but I’ve broken bottle jacks and I kept forgetting to keep my batteries charged on the impact wrench. In my truck I use a corded impact tool (I can’t remember if it’s a wrench or driver) and my generator, but I have to carry a generator most days and still have an unbroken bottle jack strapped up under the seat in case I get caught out.

My production and onsite backup burned in a fire this summer. Everything backed up remotely. Once I get new hardware I’ll be back where I left off in less than an hour (if everything goes as planned)

Not getting crumbs all over his beard. Fuck toast.

Debian. They mailed me the install media.

I’m sure one can have their install that way but mine isn’t.

Debian is what you put on a system you want to work forever with minimal maintenance. Whether that be your Grandma’s computer or my headless server.

Me too friend! What a small world

Good on chrome I guess but if they are testing blocking js then I assume they are about to offer a less easy to block alternative
