Dremca: That was a good show. I liked his other one too. Looking back he always did seem a little melancholic. |

Dremca: The last time I went gambling, I spent $10. I looked around and saw the same look of hope on everyone else' s faces and so I quit. |

Dremca: Not to mention addictive. People do win off gambling but they spend so much to even get a return. Me, I want a tangible return everytime I spend a dollar unless Im giving it away to someone. For me with gambling $10, I thought, "I just gave them my McDonald's money., 1 Like |

Backfornow:Lol, its getting crazy out here. Seems you are enjoying thenbickering going forth and back especially with Babyvet as the ring leader. She ought to ignore some comments. We have a saying in my village "it is not every rain that calls that require the need to bring out buckets to catch it" |

Holocene: Not really, actually. I do use humor at times to deescalate things. Do you understand cryptocurrency and the bitcoin? I keep hearing about it but I dont understand it or the point of it. |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by GoodFaith: 6:58pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Holocene:Agreed Know it all people we all have different experience People can learn some people want to be a jackass that is OAK too |

Backfornow: Nope, I dont do all that bitcoin stuff. I put my money in stocks and in real estate back in Nigeria. Cryptocurrencies are just too volatile. How many clients do you get in an 8hr shift on a daily average? |

As regards real estate investment in Nigeria, am also into property consultancy. Feel free to reach via pm Holocene: |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Nobody: 7:16pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Holocene: Well I work in an urgent care facility. So we are busy according to who comes in off the street. Xray wise, at times I can go a full 12hr shift without 1 single xray. But I do more than xray at this particular facility, I help take care of other patients. I do drug testing, flu shots, tb vaccinations, help with sutures, and the general sick. So the average patient load for us is about 80 patients a day. At the hospital, I just strictly do xray but we cover the entire hospital, so Im doing surgery, fluroscopy, Er patients, in patients, and general orders. Its nonstop there, I would say I would personally have 40 patients. |

Dremca: Do you understand it? Bitcoins and cryptocurrency |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Nobody: 7:24pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Holocene: Just to better explain. In the US there are levels of care. Primary care, That is your regular doctor Urgent Care - when you can't get in to see your regular doctor. You walk in off the street Emergency- major illnesses and injuries that cant wait for PC but too advanced for Urgent care setting. |

GoodFaith: No xray tech but I have been crosstrained to do things that do not require an RN. Alot of the facilities cross train their employees to do multiple jobs because it saves them money |

Holocene: lol, I come to on this forum to laugh, half of the crap I read on here is funny as hell. So don't take me seriously at all, for those that who are but hurt, thats your problem.

Investments can be in real estate, stock, bonds, gold or you can be an angel investor. To me the best investment are real estate. Backfornow: 1 Like 1 Share |

Investing in stock market could risky especially during economic crisis except you're an inside investor like warren buffet who understood the game. Many Nigerians and americans lost their money during the 2008 market crash. Backfornow: 1 Like 1 Share |

Backfornow: Wow, and do they pay you for all the extra add-ons they make you do? I feel only a licensed RN should be allowed to do all that extra stuff to avoid potential legal issues. |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Nobody: 10:01pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Holocene: Ive had to pass certifications for the extras that I do. I don't administer IVs or anything that only a RN can do. I get paid my xray rate which is ok since like I said some days there are no xrays to do. I prefer it better than working at the hospital. It was very stressful and I constantly felt like everyone was just a number. |

Backfornow: tell me about it!!! Hospital nursing is no joke. |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Nobody: 10:13pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
Babyvet: What is your area of speciality? When I had to come through NICU and ICU to do portable xrays, I often thought how hard of a job it is mentally. |

GoodFaith: This is what I am predicting, the next term we will see Mike Pence running for President. I think this has been his strategy all along. |
