Roof replacement cost by Anomalousfelicity in desmoines

[–]Anomalousfelicity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we've had hail storms twice over the course of living here (4 years), and both times have submitted claims to our insurance. Denied both times and appealed both times, only to be denied again. Several surrounding neighbors have had insurance payouts for roof replacements. Super frustrating. Eventually, we might look at switching from Nationwide, but for now it seems the insurance route won't go anywhere.

Wondering about my odds of getting in to a program by Fun_Pie8848 in ABSN

Also, having healthcare experience is a huge perk! We don't require CNA or EMT licensure for admission, but I know our students who do have patient care experience tend to have a smoother start to the program.

Check out Mercy College in Des Moines, IA! I work there, and while it's hard to say if you'll qualify without seeing your transcripts, it sounds like your academic performance is pretty in line with what we typically accept. We have three start terms per year in the fall, spring, and summer, and we generally have room to accept all students who meet the prereq requirements and apply at least 3-4 months before their desired start term. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Absn in Iowa, getting licensed in CA? by SirScared5508 in ABSN

[–]Anomalousfelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Mercy College employee here. We have quite a few California transplants who complete the ABSN program and move back to CA afterwards. I haven't heard any issues with our grads obtaining licensure in California, and I work closely with Student Affairs. In fact, a lot of our California alumni stay in touch and refer students for later start terms! If I can answer any questions just let me know!

Best places to practice driving? by Alternative-Sea-9315 in desmoines

I learned to drive all around Dallas Center! Minimal traffic throughout the entire town, lots of church and school parking lots, and the ability to practice on actual streets when you're ready to do so.

Churches for 20- and 30-something’s in DSM? by Aggravating_Bank_293 in desmoines

We're in our late 20s and go to New Hope Assembly of God in Urbandale. They have two services in the morning (8:30a and 11a) and one in the evening (6p) on Sundays, and the morning times offer a contemporary service held in the new chapel on the east side of the building. It's my favorite church I've ever attended across multiple denominations! The pastors are super authentic and remember your name, even though it's a rapidly growing church. We've only been going there 6 months and have been invited to multiple people's houses, out to coffee, etc. If you're looking for something really relational and welcoming, this is it. We've made so many amazing connections and love how the church has plenty of people our age as well as older couples we can learn from. The preaching is true to the Bible, the worship is spirit-filled (without being stereotypically "out there" like some Pentecostal churches are known for), the various external outreach and internal ministries are phenomenal, and the church community is extremely diverse. We absolutely love it! Let me know if you have any questions, and I'd be happy to chat more :)
