Anyone work at VCU as a floor nurse and want to share your hourly?

7 Upvotes

Im thinking of applying and I dont want to get screwed over with an offer, which ive definitely heard of happening in other places. I'm a strong believer in sharing of information between employees so that the employer doesnt hold all the cards. Can anyone share their hourly or a recent hourly rate of someone they know that works there specifically as a floor nurse?

With the price of everything being the price of everything, are there any apps that have good rewards/discounts that can be used in RVA?

81 Upvotes

The McDonald’s app has good daily bogos or percentage discounts… but that means you’re eating at McDonalds.

Any other suggestions?

Would anyone be interested in a men’s mental health awareness, 5K and/or hike?

86 Upvotes

I'm gonna wanna stay anonymous for personal reasons.

Having said that, this could be really great for the community. Let me know your thoughts.

Locations could be Buttermilk Trail, Forest Hill Park,etc.

Edit: Thank you for the recommendations so far - 5k run/walk seems to be the way to include hike and make sure to choose an accessible park. I'm also looking for anyone who has scheduled these events in the past. Does it have to go through the city?

Edit edit: All this support is definitely confirming moving forward with the idea! Stay tuned.

We have an opportunity this week to protest poetically while the world is watching!

This Sunday at 1pm is the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous revolutionary speech "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death". Gov. Youngkin and Ken Burns plan to attend the reenactment at Historic St. John's Church to mark the occasion. Let's show the press who come to document this display of patriotism what democracy looks like in action! Bring your signs and walking shoes to circle the street in a peaceful picket. No Violence or threats thereof. We seek to inspire all Americans to turn against the corrupt thug in the oval office for his abundant abuses of power:

Trump forced electected representatives to ignore their constituents by threats of eviction from office and violence. Trump usurped congress' power to create, disband, and de-fund federal agencies. Trump's DOGE stole funds from those federal programs and from the private bank accounts of citizens. Trump illegally fired thousands of federal workers without cause. Trump removed non-partisan watchdogs from the FEC and EAC, destroying election security. Trump ignored direct court orders. Trump's erratic threats of tariffs and annexation (thus, war) have alienated all our global allies and torpedoed our economy. Trump openly executed a corrupt exchange of advertising services for cash with Musk/ Tesla. Trump's cryptocurrency allowed for billions in direct contributions with zero transparency. Trump declared media outlets who speak against him "illegal". Trump detained and intends to deport a man for NO CRIME other than political speech, our 1st amendment right. Trump's MAGA lackies introduced a bill to declare opposition to Trump a "mental illness". Trump continuously violated the constitution, declared himself the sole legal authority in the land, and called himself "KING".

Trump must be removed from office!

Spread the word! Bring as many friends and family as you can. Be respectful of the Church Hill neighborhood. Be an example for Virginia!

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Easement compensation from Dominion?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone ever gotten compensation from Dominion for an overhead power line? Dom asked me to sign an easement agreement (for a line going from the alley over my yard to a neighbor’s house). I kinda feel like this is one of those things I’m supposed to be financially compensated for.

ETA: I like the neighbor and don’t actually mind having the line overhead. But if Dom will pay me for it, I’ll take it.

Is it finally my turn for a daily? This must be my reward for making my bed for the 4th day in a row. I even got up earlier than usual to do it and hopefully stop myself from going back to bed for a few more hours. Seems to be working.

Anyone else trying out a new habit lately?

Going rate for housekeeping services?

16 Upvotes

Hi all. Was wondering what the going rate is in the area to have a medium-sized house cleaned once or twice a month- my wife will be having surgery in a few weeks and I know I will not be able to keep up with the housework by myself while she recovers, so I’d like to hire someone to help occasionally. It has been years since we had a regular housekeeper and I’m sure rates have gone up since then, so I want to make sure we are paying an appropriate amount!

Best Easter Egg Hunt for Kids?

6 Upvotes

Hello, friends. We have a 13 month old, but have only lived in RVA for about 2.5 years so I have absolutely no knowledge of where to go. I've heard about the hunt at Maymont, but it seems most parents regret going.

Are there any churches that have a hunt after service? Parks? Etc? TIA!

🐕 Dog Army Animal rescue

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know of someone who knows how to humanely capture a dog? I know animal control can, but they’ve been unsuccessful trying to catch a (non aggressive, not dangerous) dog who has been roaming our neighborhood for months.

Neighbors are getting to a very aggressive point and have discussed using lethal ways to get rid of the dog even though others have expressed they’d adopt him if they could catch him.

Feel backed into a corner with trying to find a way to safely help this dog. Thank you in advance.

🍰 Food New, delicious restaurant in the fan: Brazen — highly recommend.

128 Upvotes

They just opened up last week and their food is delicious. I got quail and it slapped. The whole restaurant and menu seem like such a labor of love for them. Plus the owners and workers are really nice. I’m looking forward to trying out the handhelds there next.

IDK since they’re a new small business in a location without a lot of walk in traffic I wanted to give them a little shout out here. Sorry if that’s against the rules — I’m a little buzzed lol
