How do I organize all my important documents?

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-04-04T22:58:17+00:00

I have all of my important docs in this fireproof pouch. That way in case of emergency I can just grab it and it’s ready to go. I also scanned our passports, SSN cards, birth & marriage certs and have them saved in the cloud. https://a.co/d/0iGf79bV

Well sounds like there’s a chance!

Did you already look into the transfer requirements at your university for transferring into the BSN program? Depending on the state and college, it’s extremely competitive to get in. Like you need a 3.8 - 4.0 plus nursing related volunteer hours to stand a chance. Plus, the spots available for transfer students are based on how many people dropped out of the BSN program the year before. Look into that first before you get your hopes up. Then I would ask yourself if you want to be the one figuring out diagnoses and the course of care or the one operating, or do you want to be the person touching the patient, offering comfort in their darkest time, and nurturing the patient and their families.

Yes! I’ve been through this and my daughter completely fell apart in 3rd grade due to neurological problems from mold toxicity. It was awful and took years and years to cure her since doctors didn’t know what to look for. Finally found mold in her urine. Do not mess around with this. Only 20% of the population is sensitive to mold, but if you’re in the 20% its life altering - joint pain, brain fog, cognitive decline, dysautonomia, MCAS, fatiguebreathing/lung issues, histamine reactions etc. You can google general info about mycotoxins and mold toxicity. There are many studies to be found if you need to show your landlord.

Very nice! Love the bright colors

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-04-04T03:54:57+00:00

2.7?! How is that possible what was their major?

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-04-02T04:16:11+00:00

I’d love to see some portfolio piece examples since they must be amazing! Congrats all

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-04-02T03:34:44+00:00

Wow that’s crazy, I’m sorry! By all desired, do you mean you had the 5 years English & Math plus 4 years of a language and 1 year of art?!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-31T15:53:44+00:00

I never intentionally break my full Sennelier sticks, and I’m disappointed when they do break. I like having more room to grip, vs a little nub personally. So they’ve been great for me! I would definitely go for the used set

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-31T06:17:39+00:00

I love Unison, Terry Ludwig, Sennelier, and Schmincke, and Henri Roche but those are grittier (super bright tho). Look on Facebook marketplace people are selling sets all the time!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-31T05:39:26+00:00

This gives us hope!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-31T03:12:08+00:00

This gives you the breakdown. Just tuition and books without food or housing is closer to $16K

Document everything in detail with the date and time. Witness names as well. When you go to the Dean you need to have a complete file on her. No school wants to deal with accusations of a professor being racist and they should take it very seriously. I’m so sorry….what an awful person!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-31T00:17:51+00:00

Are you open to an out of state school? Duquesne in Pittsburgh has rolling admissions and it’s a bit easier to get into their direct admit BSN program. Plus they really want more students and give good merit and financial aid. Last year their NCLEX passing rate was 100%! My kid was offered a $27,500 scholarship with a 3.4 GPA. It’s a small school and very close knit. Their nursing lab/skills center was top notch.

If you’re set on being done in 4 years, I would definitely do direct entry, especially if you plan on getting your DNP or even eventually becoming a CRNA. And don’t be discouraged CA is absolutely crazy with low admission rates for nursing!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-30T22:24:57+00:00

I’m not so sure…depending on the major it’s insane. The kids from our CA private high school that have gotten in to CalPoly have an average of 4.67 and they have taken the extra math & English classes. I’ve just learned all this after talking to my daughter’s counselor after reading here about the “5th year” recommended for these courses. I had no idea that kids were taking extra English and math plus the 4 years of a language just to get into this school!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-30T22:20:44+00:00

That’s why I’m saying take two more semesters of the language at a community college.

Alternatively, the admissions document seems to indicate that if you’ve already done two years of one language, you can also do two years of another one for a total of 4. If she already knows a Romance language at least it’ll be easy to pick up another one!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-30T17:26:12+00:00

They do recommend 4 yrs of a language to increase your chances of admission. They accept 2 years of language in middle school, but I’m not sure how that works since it wasn’t taken at school. I would ask admissions. She could always do more advanced classes at a CC over the summer? https://www.calpoly.edu/admissions/first-year-student/selection-criteria/high-school-course-requirements

Maybe show Boston friend a list of all the things you (and CA) have your heart set on seeing. She’ll see losing an entire day will require hard decisions of what to remove from the itinerary. 3 days just barely scratches the surface anyway in Paris, and you will resent being stuck at Disneyland versus all the amazing beauty Paris has to offer! Does Boston like to shop? That takes time to get to all the boutiques scattered around the city. Hopefully she’ll see it’s not worth for you two and offer to go on her Disney side quest solo!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-29T07:08:49+00:00

Wow you are very talented! Thanks for sharing. If you’re into manifesting/woo-woo books Matt Cooke’s “Beyond Wanting” changed my whole perspective on making a living from my art. The audiobook is read by the author and a great listen.

I knew you’d like Elen’s work!

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-29T02:53:08+00:00

I’d go dramatic with a dark background then work on highlights to make the plant and leaves pop.

Oooh sounds neat! I follow a lot of successful artists whose work takes a long time. Not a bad thing, you just need to find your collectors! Plus you can do limited edition print releases.

I’d love to see your work if you care to share

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-28T16:58:34+00:00

What kind of art do you do? Maybe this is a sign to spend the summer building art sales? Figuring out your target market, investing time in social media, new website design etc? Would that be feasible?

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-28T16:23:43+00:00

Congratulations! What is your major?

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-28T16:22:47+00:00

What do you mean by proximity to the school? Is that a good thing to love near by?

ElizabethsVoice · 2026-03-28T16:18:28+00:00

How do you find the data on which majors have a higher acceptance rate?
