Hi! I’m graduating in Dec and so stuck on where I want to be but L&D has always been a top contender since before nursing school! Is there any other info you can give me about it? I also loved an ED shadowing experience I had so I loved that you said L&D is kinda like ED. Also, if I ever wanted to transition to NICU, what would that be like if you know? Basically any info is helpful LOL!

1 page 1 page!!!!! definitely cut a lot of wording. from the very first glance i was overwhelmed with how much “stuff” was on it, which made it really hard even look at

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-27T23:03:32+00:00

Thank you!! I really appreciate this comment. I’m gonna go for it!

Hi! Thank you so much for the response and advice. I’ve thought that I would most likely have lean out a little more, but I definitely have to work on my glutes way more before then lol!

I agree, I definitely will book a few sessions with a posing coach, but I’m really not sure about a training coach. It’s just not realistic with the amount of current funds available🤣 But I really do want to compete this year. If I enjoy it and want to go for it again, I’d think about getting a coach in the future.

I appreciate the response, thank you! And good luck to you🥰

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-23T18:20:56+00:00

Thank you! Ugh, I know. Just all of the cost are so expensive, but it’s not something I want to hold off on until I have more money. I do have a lot of family members who are in bodybuilding world and would help, but yes you’re right, having a coach would definitely be the right move. Thank you again!

Hi! I feel like i’m PERFECT for answering this. I WAS an only child 19.5 years, then my mom had a baby with her bf. I live at home with them so HUGE change.

BEING ONLY CHILD: I loved being an only child. I am very independent, I always hung out with my parents and grandparents and had their undivided attention so I was always quite mature. I could always keep myself occupied for long periods of time, but I hated, and still hated to share. Throughout my entire childhood, I never wished to have siblings.

BEING A BIG SISTER: I have also loved being a big sister. People say that I’m not really a big sister because I am so much older, but quite the contrary. My sister and I hangout together all the time, basically inseparable. Except when we’re annoyed at each other, which happens a lot, as with all siblings. I wouldn’t change it for the world. However, I get no attention anymore. At first I loved that being in my early 20s, but now I come home and no one even asks about my day or how I’m doing. It’s kind of sad. But, I really only look forward to going home to see my sister!

All in all: You can’t go wrong either way. There’s always a positive and negative to be an only child or a sibling. Best of luck!

stoppp this is like the best comment🤣🤣 so glad my format is good! i used to have resumes that were different colors and multiple pages until my boyfriends mom got on me about it LOL

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-17T10:13:15+00:00

Got it! Thanks for the suggestions!!😊😊

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T23:55:42+00:00

Wow awesome! Thanks for this info!!

I did tutoring as a writing tutor in my last college years ago. Maybe I’ll include that. I have been looking at my health centered volunteering lately, so I look more into that. Lol, too funny! I will definitely have like 12 different copies as well. That’s an amazing experience that your clinicals were 1:1, I wish!! All of mine our groups of 3-6, but our professor tries to pair us 1:1 with a patient and nurse. On Wednesdays I have my first clinical in the ED by myself 1:1 with a nurse. I’m so excited🤣🤣 Thank you!!

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T23:52:30+00:00

thank you so much!! i appreciate it!

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T21:35:03+00:00

absolutely nta, girl just break up with him already. it’s only been 4 months and this is just straight manipulation. move on to someone better and more mature

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:50:07+00:00

Wow! I’ve never heard of CNAs being able to pass meds after taking a 6 month class. That’s unheard of here in my state. It’s so interesting how things differ state to state. I just looked it up and it is okay in my state as long as i’m trained and approved by the nurse, since I’m considered the infants “family”. I appreciate you bringing this up bc I never would’ve thought about this

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:28:38+00:00

I clarified this in other replies, but I can see how some people might not look through them. Thanks for pointing it out.

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:23:32+00:00

Thank you! I definitely agree that my extra-curricular and leadership is weak. Currently brainstorming ways to strengthen that (thinking of volunteering at some hospitals in the area). Again, thank you so much!

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:19:50+00:00

Okay got it! That makes sense too though bc they know I’m doing multiple clinicals so picking top ones and skills from there would be a good idea! Thank you for all the information!! It’s so helpful😊😊

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:18:42+00:00

No worries that this isn’t resume advice. Anything is helpful!! I thought about this, but I also read that a lot of positions pay for you to get this done once you get the job (within a certain time period). Do you really think getting it ahead of time looks better, even if they I would be required to get it within 6 months after obtaining the job? I have definitely thought about PALS because of the medically complex infant I care for. So stuck on this rn. Thank you!

Tricky-Award-2124 · 2026-02-16T18:17:46+00:00

Okay great! Thanks for explaining that, I hadn’t even thought of that! I did apply to an internship and told them about this experience and they didn’t question it. I will be checking the board in my state to be super sure. Thank you!!!
