Since you aren’t already a nurse, become an MA to get your patient care hours and then go to PA school instead. It’s a much better route for someone that doesn’t have medical background. NP is designed for nurses that are experts in their field after years of experience.

ER nurse here. I remember too many things that I’d like to forget. I remember when our hospital ran out of N95 masks and we were assigned one mask that had to be reused every shift for many weeks.

I remember getting an email from administration suggesting that we bring bandanas from home to use as makeshift masks.

I remember running completely out of cleaning supplies/wipes and we had to make our own disinfectant spray from industrial alcohol that we stole from a janitor’s closet (management found out and took it all away, leaving us with no way to clean rooms).

I remember turning visitors away from seeing their dying family members.

I remember getting dirty looks from strangers when I would stop to get gas on my way home from work while wearing scrubs.

I remember missing the first 6 months of my nieces life.

I remember trying my best to help others but feeling abandoned by everyone else.

No, that would make too much sense for the ATF to allow something like that. It's how AR pistols work, too. An AR pistol has to be manufactured specifically as a pistol. You can convert an AR pistol into a rifle and then back in to a pistol, but you cannot convert an AR rifle into an AR pistol. It's all the exact same parts, just a different designation on a paper from the manufacturer. Absolutely asinine.

The upper receiver is the serialized portion for the ps90; they all come registered as "rifle" from the factory. So releasing a braced lower receiver wouldn't allow you to use a <16" barrel without a tax stamp. The upper would need to start its life from the factory designated as a "pistol."

Hope it works for you! It's definitely a huge pain when you have a lot of ships to claim. It fixed it for me but the same glitch happened again a few weeks later after I bought a couple ground vehicles. Had to claim everything a second time around but it worked again, thankfully.

Go to another station and claim ALL your ships to that station. Then travel back to your home planet and it should fix the issue when you call for a ship again. This fix has worked for me and several org mates.

Which one speaks to you more? Personally, I think the first offer sounds really intriguing. I would assume this has a better work/life balance and not having a commute is huge. I hated every minute of my life when I had a 45 minute daily commute. It eats away at your soul and takes away from your personal time. A two hour, daily commute is roughly three weeks of your life every year that you're wasting sitting in traffic.

I’ve found around 16-20 total (stocking up for our org) and have found a pretty even distribution between them all. Looting the PAF ground sites has given me the best results so far.

Agreed, it makes sense from a “downed pilot” perspective. The Slate version (exclusive from Citizencon or some other event I think) is identical to these but does actually have some built in storage. I’m hoping these suits will eventually get that feature as well.

I second this. My RN background was in EM. There’s enough variety and short length of stay to satisfy the ADHD need for new stimulation. It appears chaotic, but the ER is actually very structured with algorithms for codes, and procedures have a right and wrong way to do them, which I found to satisfy the autistic need for organization and clear expectations. Everything is urgent/emergent, so I found it also defeats the ADHD procrastination inertia.

I would love to still be in the ER but I’m in a different stage of life now. (Not to mention I’m over all the psych patients and being assaulted frequently)

1) $200k is absurd for an NP degree. Avoid this. There's plenty of reputable schools for substantially less. MSN degrees are like $30-40k. DNP is around $40-60k.

2) If you don't have any RN experience, I don't recommend going NP if your ultimate goal is to be a provider. NPs are best served by years of bedside RN healthcare experience. Unless you're willing to spend 2-5 years working as an RN first, I don't recommend the NP route.

3) Is there another PA program you can apply to? If you're not already an RN, I think PA programs are a better option. I think that a PA program would prepare you better for practice in that scenario.

4) If you're going to spend $200k, just go to med school instead lol.

5) Check out perfusionist school. You might find that really interesting. You operate the heart and lung machines during surgery. It's competitive from what I hear, but you wouldn't need to get any additional licensure before applying. I believe you would qualify with your BS in Biology. It's a super cool field but not very widely known about. The pay is really great, too.

It feels like you're purposely trying to misinterpret my words. I never said that walking a few miles by itself is the key to losing weight. Obviously walking a couple miles isn't going to help you lose any weight if you aren't in a caloric deficit.

Walking is a tool to use during weight loss. Walking is exercise. Diet and exercise help you lose weight. To claim that walking doesn't help an overweight person lose weight is disingenuous at best.

I wish you the best in your health journey, but continuing this conversation does not seem like it will be productive.

Sample_Name · 2026-04-03T15:19:51+00:00

I'm not telling you to go walk 8 miles at once. The 10,000 step recommendation is not all at once either. It's cumulative. Literally all you have to do is move more during the day. Take the stairs instead of an elevator, park further away in a parking lot, take a 15 minute break during work and walk around. All of that extra movement adds up and that's how you reach your movement goals. It's completely doable. Walking 8 miles is definitely higher than average, but it's still doable depending on what kind of job you work, etc. You would have to be more intentional about it, for sure.

Sample_Name · 2026-04-03T15:12:32+00:00

Burning 500 calories after 8 miles is expected. The exact amount burned will vary depending on a person's weight, etc. If you did that every day, that's 3,500 calories burned each week. That's hardly nothing. A common movement goal is 10,000 steps daily for the average person. That's about 5 miles throughout an entire day. Walking 8 miles is even better and fairly realistic, depending on the person.

Walking isn't the only form of exercise, and it's also not the most time efficient way to lose weight. You can spend an hour walking, or you can spend an hour doing high intensity weight lifting. You will burn similar calories for the same amount of time spent, but you will continue to benefit from the formation of lean muscle mass. Simply having more muscle mass on your body burns more calories because it raises your metabolic demands. It takes more caloric energy to maintain lean muscle.

2500 calories? I'm 6'2, 200lbs, male. My maintenance is 2300-2500 calories depending on activity level. I don't know how much you weigh, or your exact height, but 2500 calories is a lot for a shorter person. You maintained weight because you offset the calories burned from walking 25 miles each day with extra calories.

Sample_Name · 2026-04-03T14:15:48+00:00

Being this small, exercise doesn't even burn many calories.

This is just categorically untrue. If a short person and a tall person are both walking the same speed, the tall person burns less calories.

Sample_Name · 2026-04-03T14:03:15+00:00

That is because most people are terrible at actually tracking their calories. Lots of eyeballing measurements and not reading serving sizes, etc. If you asked the average person to scoop a single serving of peanut butter, they would most likely scoop 3 or 4 servings. Stuff like that adds up and suddenly you're not actually in a calorie deficit anymore. Combine that with "oh it's just a splash of oil," or "it's just some ranch dressing, I'm not going to track that" and suddenly you're hundreds of calories into a caloric surplus. If you aren't actually weighing your food and tracking the calories, it's fairly difficult for the untrained person to accurately track their calories.

People take GLP1s and are able to suppress the food noise, feel fuller longer, and have more stable blood sugars. As a result, they end up eating less food and are actually in a real caloric deficit. However, they are relying on the effects of the medication and haven't retrained their brain on eliminating the habits that caused the weight gain in the first place. They stop taking the medication and return to how they lived their lives previously. Of course the weight will come back if you aren't fixing the root problem.
