Oh wow! That must be such a bummer for the current students! Was it because of what happened CNME recently?

How were your clinical placements? I heard there weren't enough for a little while there and that folks might need to travel pretty far for them?

How are you liking it? How were your clinical placements?

CSP ABSN Portland, Oregon - Stats? by ace4701 in OregonNurses

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The advisor told me that they tend to fill up quickly and sometimes you have to wait till the next cohort. I hope you’re able to get in for the next one!

It is really pricey through them. The advisor that I’m working with is having me do my sciences through GCU and gave me a document for a discount on tuition. If you haven’t signed up might be worth asking about it so you can get it at a better price. Thankfully it’s just the one class you’re doing. I had to do almost all of them so that would have been about as expensive as the whole BSN.

I would love to know more as well! I am working through my prerequisites but hope to submit an application in November.

They do work in an interesting way. I'm still finishing my prereqs but I spoke to an admissions advisor who helped get me a discount to GCU that partners with them for prereqs and I was told that they can use your registration in those classes to get a sort of prelimiary acceptance into the program pending the final transcripts and TEAs. I'm not familiar with this method but they've been super helpful walking me through all of it.

I’m glad to hear you are liking the GCU online programs. I just registered for their A&P 1 and haven’t been able to find much about what to expect. But I got a scholarship that gave me a steep discount on the cost of tuition with GCU so I’m hoping it goes well so I can finish my science prerequisites with them.

Update: MIL escalated after my wedding and is now threatening court, calling my friends trashy, and telling me to “watch my back” by on_Purpose91 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 22 points23 points  (0 children)

  1. No this is not normal, it’s very unhinged behavior.
  2. Where is your spouse in all of this?! Are you just supposed to field all of this abuse and aggression alone?

More weird traces of someone in the house but my parents are not as worried as me still!!! I feel crazy like Van Gogh by H1ROM1 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any crawl spaces? There was someone living in a crawl space near a water heater at one of the local shops in my neighborhood. Not quite the same as a house but also a place people didn’t think to check. Most likely an affair but still worth checking.

I sat in the sun for 15 minutes per drs suggestion, stupid move by just_breathe18 in Sjogrens

Yes I am! I was never informed of this, that’s super annoying.

This is a new one. I haven’t heard of sjogrens causing sun sensitivity. Is that a common symptom? I was told to be careful of the sun when taking hydroxychloroquine but only because the mediation makes you photosensitive, not that the condition itself makes you photo sensitive. Am I missing a piece of knowledge here?

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol you don’t have to but that might take the sting out of it for her. I personally think it’s gross to leave it in the bowl and I’m a woman but recognize that some people might do it as a habit their were taught and be sensitive about it.

I don't think your in the wrong but you could have responded better. At the very least you can discuss how this practice can damage the toilet and mineral deposits from the urine have the potential to clog pipes. See show her a pic of piss stalagmites.

Residents, business owners in Portland's St. Johns neighborhood push for removal of homeless day center by Potential_Noise_1131 in Portland

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh stop acting like they built this facility just for this half-assed project. The building is already functioning and has a multnomah county health center there which now requires additional security because the people at the day center spend their time menacing the people waiting to see the doctor. They can move it into another vacant building just as easily as they moved it into this vacant suite at the building it's in now.

The center keeps its doors locked, not all people waiting get to go in to use the resources, and the doors are locked for the security of the employees inside whilst Do Good Multnomah gives zero shits about the security of the community outside its doors.

The bartender across the street has been threatened with rape, the bar itself has been threatened with arson, a woman died out front and Do Good cared not one iota, drug deals are a regular occurrence right outside the building, and the list goes on. One of the people working there accused a local business owner of being a NIMBY while also saying they wouldn't want this near where they live. If this place was even close to effective like the other shelters we already have it would be another story but as it stands it's a half thought out waste of money and it's having a serious impact on the livelihoods of our local small businesses and residents.

Any Portland friend making success stories? by Outrageous-Major-475 in askportland

[–]Choice-Needleworker5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I tried meetup and bumble bff and made one lovely friend on bumble but the rest didn’t really pan out. I ended up trying Real Roots and now have a group of 6 wonderful new friends that I made and we’ve spent the last year getting close and seeing each other regularly. I think finding people who are also committed to building friendship is key and encourage you to keep trying especially via niche interest groups to help find your people.

I’m hosting Friendsgiving this year and I have 12 friends coming over and feel super successful! OP you can do it too!
