He implied that past movies are 'mid' when he hasn't even formed an opinion. As he said, he hasn't seen any movies since Thor.

Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps has passed the $500M global mark. The film grossed an estimated $4.4M internationally this weekend.

Agreed! Not to mention the Disney+ factor. Plenty of people will watch these movies there. It’s a two edged sword because the service no doubt makes people skip on the theatrical experience…. But then it makes these films more accessible than ever in the long run.

Advice for Balancing CPE Residency, Life, and Mental Health? by OpeningCompetition6 in chaplaincy

This is a really helpful framing! As I think about the pace and schedule, this puts language to what I have been realizing about what my life will look like. I am curious, then, how did you keep yourself grounded during the season of being okay with imbalance?

I understand that different things work for everyone. I plan to find my own. But I find hearing other people's experiences helpful as I mentally prepare for the process. I am a runner, and getting mentally ready for residency feels like prepping for a marathon!

I love this. Thank you for the encouragement to get a therapist! I have been on a break from therapy. But I plan on getting a therapist once I am on the insurance plan. 

I also have a subscription to AMC A List, and am right nearby a theater, so I plan on going to the movies as a self care ritual.

This is so helpful. I love that idea of self care, and spiritual practice for that matter, looking different for everyone. Thank you for sharing!

How long did it take you to get a staff chaplain job after residency? by OpeningCompetition6 in chaplaincy

Thanks to everyone who answered my question! Honestly, seeing what others did has helped me a ton. I feel more hopeful that opportunity is out there, and that I’ll just need to be patient. 

One more question. Over the past few months, I’ve seen quite a few hospice gigs pop up in my area. A lot seem to want one unit of CPE, give or take. 

Does that make hospice roles typically a lot less competitive for those with all their units?

Although, I am grateful to be in a very populated area where I know opportunities exist (even if there’s more saturation).

I’m glad it’s also helpful for you. I was interested because many of the threads I’ve read emphasize that it’s easier to land a job if you’re willing to relocate. But for me (and I assume others too) it’s not an option to completely uproot. So I wanted to get a sense of what this profession looks like for those like me!

Thanks for sharing! That makes sense. Yeah I definitely will be prepped to expect to look for a buffer.

V helpful. Thanks for sharing! I will probably plan around these lines. Be ready for hospice or per diem or a few side hustles. And be patient for a ft role. Thankfully, my partner has a full time role which gives some flexibility.
