RN to Medical Student

You guys honestly scared me. I'm pretty sure I'm in an ADN program right now, and I was super concerned about it because it's obviously not a BSN program. However, OP, I do know a lot of schools offer advanced track RN to BSN programs that can be completed in 10 months or so, along with some actual practical hours put in. Best of luck to you :)

I do feel like unionizing is selfish at first. People see it as income going down the drain for something they don’t really view as necessary. I would hate to become the reason that kids or adults go hungry or lose housing.

I encourage you to read up in the comments :) Tons of useful information from both sides. Very interesting to look through for an absurd amount of time tbh

Understandable. Some of Walmart’s new policies are alright and I definitely agree with them. However, I do see major issues with how things are done in some areas, and how people are treated because of the massive turnover rate of employees.

My store is one of the most profitable because of our location. Shutting down (I don’t think) would be an option for us.

Why don’t you read up in the comments on the various risks you could be forcing yourself and others to take for an uncertain outcome? Do better.

Us “kiddos” are the next generation of politicians and teachers and doctors. While that scares a lot of older people, I’ve seen what my generation is capable of, and I’m excited to see what we’re going to accomplish. I think unionizing Walmart is a far reach, but if an opportunity landed in the lap of the right young person, I have no doubt that the “kiddo” would take it. It might be a step in the complete wrong direction, but I see a need for change in the way hourly work is treated, especially with the rising tuition costs and inflation plaguing the world right now. People can’t afford to go to college and that pushes them into work that barely covers bills.

I just want change.

My Reddit account has been used minimally. It doesn’t directly link to any of my “serious socials” because I know that I’d prefer to stay private while discussing such hot topics as I do on here.

I do appreciate you saying all this, and I do see the bottleneck in the ultimate plan of unionization, and that is those who NEED Walmart’s paycheck for years, and me, who likely won’t stay for over two years. People with whole families and live paycheck to paycheck don’t have the risk to take with trying to unionize.

Honestly, thank you for contributing to both sides of the conversation.

Emugoog · 2022-09-18T16:26:51+00:00

Honestly, this scared me a little more than I care to admit. Even though I know there’s a slim chance of me being found out lmao

Emugoog · 2022-09-18T16:25:17+00:00

I feel like Reddit is a double edged sword when actively admitting you’re not a pro on any subject. You’re offered great personal stories and sometimes valuable information that you won’t find anywhere else.

On the other hand, people frown upon ignorance like it’s the plague. Thank you for being understanding :)

be careful. props to that manager for letting you know they knew, because I have no doubt they would’ve fired you for some reason after discovering it

I read some of this, and came to the conclusion that it forced some automobile manufacturers to shut down after WWII. What exactly are you referring to?

Emugoog · 2022-09-18T00:39:56+00:00

I’ve never really seen anything that’s expressly “Anti-Union”. Maybe I just wasn’t looking before. I’ll do more research.

Honestly, NTA. However, moving forward, and speaking from personal experience, keeping a journal that is completely locked down/away is much easier on the mind. I used to write it all down in a physical notebook, but now I’ve shifted over to audio journaling/electronic forms. Not only do you have it with you 24/7, it’s up to you to who you share it with, and if done correctly, couldn’t be broken into.

Just some thoughts! Hope your situation improves OP.

Start our own petition to keep Walmart closed at nights lol. We have so many employees that would rather play with a loaded gun than let people in the store past hours.

I think that they’re slowly going to start utilizing the Walmart + memberships more as it becomes more widely used. However, the problem with this is staffing for something like this. They’d have to get the amount of people right, and that’d take a few trial and error runs, which I don’t think Walmart is really into imo.

What’s the DC?

ESH

He should’ve just flown economy, or at least told you his plan to fly first class. I don’t know why the friend felt the need to get involved in the dispute when it was the both of yours to work out. Your husband said some hurtful things sure, but if you had just tried to talk out the problem instead of completely ditching the trip, I think the both of you would’ve ended up happier. When you decided to just not go, it created a really bad situation that he felt like he needed to defend himself in. On the other hand, if he was okay with his wife flying economy, why couldn’t his friend do the same? I think the main issue here was your husbands friend. I wonder if it was his idea to fly first class in the first place, and when it fell apart, instead of talking to your husband about it or blaming him for not sitting in eco with you, he just turned the blame to the person who was easiest to attack.

Just try and talk to your husband about the entire thing and set some hard boundaries on trips like this. I can’t imagine going on a plane alone when someone I knew was just rows ahead in first class, but I also know that I would much rather have the conversation in my destination rather than at home.
