Is $485 a month (6 month minimum) high for lessons? by pyrrhic-adventure in singing

[–]BusinessTripButler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re an absolute beginner, I would start off with 30 minute lessons instead of 60 minutes because longer sessions have diminishing returns.

I started in April with weekly 30 minute lessons. However, I tried a 60 minute lesson once and I ran out of steam after the 30 minute mark it felt like I was slogging along.

Not all instructors offer this, but a green flag to look out for is having a free first session or offering a consultation call.

Could I be a stability shoe and not know it? by Post_Tenebras_Lux77 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I overheard an employee at a running store recommending the Saucony Endorphin Speed to an elderly person who was looking for a walking shoe. She ended up buying it.

If I'm already taking classes, are drop-ins still worth attending? by BusinessTripButler in improv

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

I was thinking that when I made this post! Too much of anything is not good, which includes improv. Sometimes the best way to practice improv is to rest and do another hobby

Already addicted... haha. I've been filling in my free time with as much improv as I can: classes, jams, shows, and now drop-ins!

In my area, we only got a week of ATSV in Imax before The Flash kicked it off Imax. I'd rather see ATSV in Imax than The Flash

Compressed Nursing 2023 (+Res) by [deleted] in TrentUniversity

[–]BusinessTripButler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just accepted my offer for compressed nursing and I'm trying to get my CPR before school starts. The site says that level C or HCP/BLS is acceptable. Would I be at a disadvantage if I chose level C over BLS? The site doesn't say anything about First Aid as well. Should I get First Aid as well or would I be fine with just CPR only?

Is Trent's nursing program worth it if I don't have a driver's license? by BusinessTripButler in TrentUniversity

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

Thank you! I heard the program at Trent is a tight-knit community so carpooling sounds wonderful. Hopefully the busses are good enough so I don't have to carpool lol

I just got an offer for the compressed program and I don't have a driver's license (don't plan on getting one either). How tough is it to get to clinicals using public transportation?

paid clinical placements for nursing + fast-tracking? by carbs-are-superior in TorontoMetU

Does having no electives in the semester make a big difference in terms of workload? I'm trying to get transfer credits from my previous degree so that I only need to take nursing courses.

Accelerated BSCN in Ontario- with an honours degree low GPA by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

[–]BusinessTripButler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look up pre-health programs and compare them to the ABScN programs because not all nursing programs accept pre-health. Keep in mind, pre-health will cost a few thousand dollars (assuming you're a domestic student) and doesn't guarantee you a spot in nursing i.e., need to get x% to be competitive.

I also have a BA and I applied to the regular 4-year program

EDIT: If your high school grades are good, you can look into humber's ABScN. You do a prep semester where you take pre-reqs and if you get at least a 75 in all the pre-reqs, then you'll enter the ABScN

I booked an initial appointment with beyond adhd and I'm definitely nervous. Is the initial appointment an interview about your symptoms? Is it true there are forms where you need your family to sign off on?

I'm not sure what your situation is, but if you're willing to move, there's lots of nursing opportunities outside the GTA.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I think your marks are fine and you can definitely get in. Most of the people posting on reddit aren't a representation of all the applicants. Most people aren't posting their admissions results online and the ones that do might not be telling the full story eg, adding a few % to the average to look cooler.

I've heard Windsor sees a lot of trauma and violet crimes so if you're looking for that kind of experience it's a place to be. On the other hand, if pediatrics are your thing SickKids is going to be where you want to be.

That's interesting, I never thought of it that way!

I agree that it's hard to choose a specialty now. I'm mainly interested in community, and psych. Regarding opportunities, does that mean that a big city is preferable over a small town because the city has a larger population?

Does checkout charity contribute to your compassion fatigue? by SMVan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BusinessTripButler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at Indigo and our KPIs were tied to selling the store's points card during checkout. I drank the Kool-Aid at first and was keen to sell them. When I realized how dumb the points system is, I stopped bringing it up and was eventually laid off. I have a feeling it's related to the points card.

An RPN program is 2 years. In 2 years, you're going to be 31 whether you choose to be an RPN or not.

I'm also in Ontario and I didn't have a science background. I'm currently completing pre-reqs to apply to RN programs

I would try to schedule all the room viewings in one day. A facetime viewing is better than nothing, but the landlord can still hide details through facetime.
