My wife was an RT for about 10 years but got extremely burned out during Covid so she quit and hasn’t worked in a hospital since. She wants to go back to work but says she doesn’t want anything to do with respiratory. It’s not what she wanted or expected and she hated how they were treated by not just management, but other hospital staff as well. She’s considering becoming a surgical tech and we’ve found that there are/were apprenticeships available through both Norton and U of L, but we can’t find any info on them for some reason. I found this posting for U of L through a 3rd party company but I don’t know if it’s outdated or even legit: https://www.gothamenterprisesltd.com/find-jobs/surgical-technologist-jobs/cmjdn7ho84lbl14egeoi6bsnx/surgical-technician-training-program-now-accepting-applications-for-our-february-2nd-cohort-in-louisville-kentucky

We moved here a few years back so she doesn’t have any connections in the medical field here. Does anyone have any info for either Norton or U of L? Or know if the posting from Gotham Enterprises is legit?

New canyon neuron with less than 50 miles. It struggled to upshift in the center gears (around gears 4 to 8) when new. But shifting in the low or high gears was perfect. I managed to adjust it to a happy medium so it up shifts and down shifts at the same speed but the shifting is often crunchy/rough, it feels like it rides on the edge of the chain for a tooth or two before dropping in. This only happens in the middle gears and does it do both up and down shifting. The low and high gears are still perfect.

I know NX isn’t the best and people say they are constantly fiddling with them. And I’m sure the SX chain doesn’t help either. Would a better chain possibly help with smoother shifting? Or is this just something I’m going to have to deal with until I pony up for a better drivetrain? Anything else I can check? I already took the wheel off and made sure nothing was loose on the cassette, derailleur, and chain ring. The chain sits nice and straight in relation to the chainring when it’s in the middle of the cassette.
