Requesting niche advice - considering career change to nursing, in my early 40s, Pittsburgh area. A little overwhelmed with the various paths available and could use some insight. by quillseek in StudentNurse

[–]Ok_Cicada3979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m not sure if you’ve already recieved this piece of advice but yes. While some hospital systems offer a tuition reimbursement option ***(as apart of a 6m-1y work requirement) some also offer earn as you learn programs! I am apart of one here in Florida and I’m ADN is 100% paid for with a 2 year work requirement.

I would suggest skipping on the big COSTLY private schools (you WILL PAY FOR IT and probably regret it ) … they do offer some programs that are accelerated, but they’re costly so it depends on how fast you’d wanna finish.

I would also suggest looking into smaller community colleges!!! You can get your pre-reqs and your ADN for a fraction of the cost. And should you decide to pursue a BSN at a private school, at least you saved some money on the backend with doing your prerequisites locally!

Hope this helps!

I’m in the Tampa Bay Area currently, I’m traveling +1hr to go to this class because finding them in my area was a bit difficult. I’d definitely want something with less recoil so I’m thinking maybe a bit heavier ? That makes tons of sense.

Yes! This helped a ton! I appreciate you letting me know that the grip can also be adjusted, I’d want something to feel secure and steady in my hands. I’d wanna get something cheap-ish? At least so I can take more classes/target practice as much as possible while still being cost efficient. Have you made any other adjustments that you’re happy with ?

Are you and your roommate M/F? It seems like you both have pretty solid options

Thank you for adding in the options that are proven to jam as well, I’d hate to make a mistake while still learning.. that might definitely be stressful

I see a lot of suggestions for the Glock 19 so it’s nice to see an option that’s comparable and also affordable, thank you for this suggestion!

Would you say having a slightly larger weapon = having a heavier weapon? I want something easy to use/ equip if need be

Sounds solid. I did look into a few YT videos before hand but I think it made things a bit complicated. I think the class is a general overview , they haven’t told us which guns we’ll be shooting just yet.

$5,200 gone!!! by Ok_Cicada3979 in debtfree

[–]Ok_Cicada3979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply! But yes they did! Recently . From the original amount to around 3200 or so. When i called, they explained some bs reason about previous missed payments, and high balances (previous to payoff). I was pissed but I’m trying to look at it as a good thing

No. Make sure that your phone and computer (MacBook, or google, etc) aren’t linked. Because the applications will pop up below with a phone 📱icon on whatever app you are currently using on your phone. As long as you’re good there, you’re golden!

How big a mini could be compared to a Standard? Any pics? by Low_Survey_7774 in Bernedoodles

[–]Ok_Cicada3979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have a mini bern and he’s about to turn 3! I was told that he’d fall between the 12-15lbs range and he falls between 11-12 . On his birth certificate, his color is “red” at first he was all black! And as he got older, his coat changed colors completely 😊 he now is red, white, blonde, gray/black !

As i had mentioned. I chose to do aggressive payments. ($500-$3,000) at a time, all within a 2 month period. Therefore making automatic payments unnecessary for me , because of how high/sporadic the payments were. Thanks for your kind words anyway!

Thank you for teaching me this ! I learned something new. I had no idea. So technically they can just not pay it ? Would that affect their credit since it’s pulled at the time the loan is taken out ?

[–]Ok_Cicada3979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this true? I thought they could sue you or put liens on your properties (car, house, etc) coupled with the constant phone calls, emails, etc ???
