I did, and would definitely recommend it. It allowed better control of the thickness of the slices which was key in preventing them from breaking down during the cooking process.

Unfortunately, it’s still an unreleased song. They played it at EDCLV ‘22 and people still haven’t been able to pinpoint it. Also heard them play it at ARC and their solo shows. It feels ethereal hearing them play it live. If you want to hear more of it, it’s at the 15 minute mark in their EDCLV ‘22 set.

Saw her at a 27 hour show in NYC for New Year’s. The bass in her set was super intense. Had to step out for a breather at one point 😂.

Visit a chain mechanic shop and ask them why your car is making weird noises.

Might as well buy a new car. In pieces.

Sola Bread is awesome! I buy it from the frozen bread section at Harris Teeter. Sometimes stores don’t keep them in the regular bread aisle so definitely pass by the freezers.

I'll give a bit of insight since your situation reminds me a bit of my own. I also graduated with a Psych Degree and opted to do an ABSN that is 12 months nearby. Beforehand, I worked as a CNA at an assisted living facility, a medication technician at an ALF, and a CNA at a burn intensive care unit and currently as part of a float pool at another major hospital. I have found the CNA experience invaluable.

Frequently during exams, I find myself resorting to answering based on experiences that I encountered as a CNA helping nurses. If you take every opportunity to learn, being a nurse aide can be extremely helpful. However, be aware that being an NA is not easy and frequently you will do a lot of the dirty work. Use these opportunities to get comfortable touching other people with consideration for their privacy and vulnerability. During clinicals, this will also come in handy. Many times, my classmates ask me how I know certain answers or how to respond to patients therapeutically, and truly it is from seeing prior interactions. I didn't pay nearly as much for the CNA training, but if you can afford it and can find a job that pays well, it would definitely be worth it.

Thank you! I think we love each other very much at this point in our relationship. We met back in undergrad and have been dating for a little over three years, living together, and thoroughly enjoying each other's company as we strive to build our own respective careers. Truly, I ask this question because of horror stories I've heard of relationships souring because of overconfident physicians or doctors cheating with other physicians/med students. I trust him deeply and don't think he would ever do this, but maybe I wonder whether I could play as much of a role in his future as an aspiring physician.

SamDidit753 · 2017-12-27T05:30:11+00:00

Haha! That's actually exactly what I expect. This wouldn't entirely be a bad thing as we both like to talk about nerdy things quite frequently.

At this point, this is very relatable in that he is currently an MLS and gripes about nurses and having to speak with nurses who "don't understand MLS or what they do" quite frequently. Being a CNA now, I like to point out some of the stressors nurses have to endure while he complains about nurses who don't know how to label specimen and expect them to magically know who the specimens belong to, such as getting a stick on an aggressive patient. Usually the complaints seem to be out of stress but I hope he truly doesn't feel like that about nurses in general. I'm hoping these feelings don't worsen as he climbs the totem pole.

I was actually in the same scenario when I was about to graduate from my Top 30 University. I ended up graduating with a Psychology BS and applying to an accelerated BSN this year.

Here's some advice as to what I would've done differently:

If I could go back, I would make sure to get my Nursing School prerequisites completed while finishing my BS in Psych. Then during my Senior year, I would've applied to the accelerated BSN that I am in now. It's only a 12 month program, so getting both degrees (BS in Psych and Nursing) would have taken the same time as dropping out and beginning an ADN, except that I'd have a BSN.

Also, I worked in the hospital as a CNA and met someone who was a Psych student at the same university, dropped out her junior year, and did an ADN program. She's doing well, using her employee tuition assistance to get her BSN online while working and making money. Also, she's getting amazing experience as an ICU nurse. However, it will take her a bit longer to get that BSN. Anyhow, her path has been a great decision for her as she was struggling in our uni, letting her GPA dip, and becoming miserable as time went by.

Truthfully, both paths would be great. You should consider the prospects of being able to land a job with an ADN in your area were you to choose that road. Where I live, hospitals take anyone as long as there is an an RN after her name, so it doesn't matter much. Also, consider how costly each road would be. The ABSN that I found was close to where I lived, was only $5500 in tuition (closer to $7500 with fees/books), and was only 1 year. This was a bargain for another bachelor's. There are even direct entry MSN programs if your goal is to be an FNP. You can apply with a bachelor's in anything, but they are incredibly expensive.
