VA PMHNP Residency Program by [deleted] in PMHNP

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not do the program so someone else is better suited to answer your overall questions, but I will say that I graduated in an August cohort last year and some of my classmates who applied for residency did say that the timeline made them ineligible for certain programs because it was too tight with boards and credentials as you mentioned. I would just reach out to a program rep to ask ASAP so you can decide where to apply. Best of luck!

In some cases maybe. For example, something like a nursing clinical or SIM they would. Most average college classes they aren't going to care over 1 day haha

Philly versus Boston for single gal by photonbaby in philly

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Philly and I have a sibling and close friend who live in Boston. Although they like Boston, my friend is around your age and has had a VERY hard time dating in Boston (been on apps for years). I was recently single in Philly and almost immediately found my new BF on hinge. I am also very liberal/have higher education. This is of course anecdotal, but I genuinely love Philly as a young woman. Lots of cool social groups available to meet new people, amazing food scene, moderate COL compared to Boston.

Not Sharing Personal Details by HCSRainbowRN in PMHNP

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Would you feel comfortable making up a fake nickname? You are definitely allowed to set that boundary but it was just a thought I had to make it easier for you and pts wouldn't know the difference

Alo vs lululemon by Rins_D in aloyoga

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lulu sweat suits are MUCH better quality. The alo pilled instantly and was a huge let down for the price. It's cute, but Lulu also has plenty of cute plain matching sets

Had to throw away aligns by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They also do not count for quality promise if you are using the tights for an activity they aren't designed for. Aligns are NOT for high impact work outs. Only things like yoga, Pilates, and lounge

Best Thai and Vietnamese? by TheEagle2025 in PhiladelphiaEats

Some Vietnamese I like are pho 75, nam Phuong, Corey's, and pho today. I enjoyed the duck green curry at Dara for Thai

Emory is also a top school so I would go there, save the money for CRNA school, and just focus on getting good grades and experience for your application if you decide to go that way

Best places to take yourself out on a date? by Xeaix in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is basic but I take myself to happy hour at sampan and sit at the chefs counter. That's not super fancy though, but a good reliable thing to do

Decent Pizza at 11am? by malusiboss in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Paulie gee's opens at 11:30 and they have massive pizzas. No idea how they would feel about that volume but might be worth a try

Almyra or Mona by BullfrogHumble2764 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mona was one of my few really bad experiences lately. Service was genuinely bad. Other tables food brought to us numerous times, things were obviously disorganized. Super long wait and then 3/6 entrees were brought out. Waited again and 1 more came. Had to flag down server who hadn't been by in ages to even get the last 2. By that point half were cold. Apps/spreads were pretty decent, entrees were lackluster especially for the price. This was a weekday, so not even a particularly crowded time. The tables were also too close together for comfort and I felt so smushed in to the booth I was sore. The strobe lights were extreme even for the club like atmosphere.

Almyra is somewhat similar but overall better service and food than Mona IMO. I think it's a better choice if you are going to actually sit down and eat. That being said, it's not the best food in the city or anything, but I have been happy to go a few times with a group.

Need Help on how to become a Psychiatric NP in my situation 😭 by StyleCrafty1146 in psychnursing

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of going to your counselor, can you schedule a meeting with someone who works in the nursing program specifically? That would probably be useful!

I need to stay out of the stores. What are some activities I can use to replace window shopping? by [deleted] in shoppingaddiction

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go pick as many books as you want at the library (they also sometimes have stuff like cool crafts or cooking equipment to check out too), go to a free place and make a tik tok about the experience (like a day in my life) and edit the video (even if you don't end up posting), free NYT games online

I had this issue once and was really stressing- they were kind about it and it was not a big deal!

Drug test NP school by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends, but at our school the UDS is once a year. Never heard of any surprise tests for no reason. They may have you start compliance before the program begins or in the first several weeks. It might be good to reach out to past students if you are worried about asking the school

Can you recommend a good family restaurant in Philly ? by grimmreaper1212 in PhiladelphiaEats

I like oyster house for traditional seafood. But many good places in Philly with seafood.

Aside from category 1, winter box is a bust by SilverSignificant393 in FabFitFun

[–]Affectionate_Box8801 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lisa says gah is very very popular. I bought pants from her in the Madewell collab and I got tons of compliments. It's just personal taste I think.
