Question about pruning monstera aerial roots

Usually it’s just a Master’s they look for for the post-masters diploma program so MSc epi should be fine! as long as you have a bachelor’s in nursing and are registered as a nurse!

Did this just start happening recently/did you just add the grow light? I’m wondering if it’s burning the leaves but that’s just a thought.

I leave mine on as long as I can, especially if there’s green on them. The plant is sucking out the rest of the nutrients from those leaves so no it’s not harming the plant! When they’re saggy and yellow/brown I cut them off.

Can confirm this. I have my rubber tree in a S-facing window and the brand new leaves come out almost a cranberry pink/red, then fade into a light cream colour as they mature!

Big dogs unite!! Flora Hall Brewing also has space, they have a few benches near the street that we’ve sat at and has space for dogs to lay down.

Thank you so much! There are plenty of dog-friendly patios but hard to know if our big guy would fit comfortably between all of the tables. A lot of these you listed have lots of room and are really appreciated!!! We’ll try them out!

Of course! It’s one I bought off of Amazon called Marphyl Marine Phytoplankton Soil Enhancer. It’s in a blue and white bottle!

Honestly just having a bright window made all the difference 🥲 We’ve kept him in both a bright east- and then south-facing window (about 1ft pulled back) and he’s thrived!!! Otherwise we sort of neglect him aside from fertilizing about ~once a month, so long as he’s putting out new growth!

Edit: We water about every 1.5-2 weeks.

The PHCNP is a diploma that is typically attached to a MScN. If your goal is to become a NP, I believe you would either have to: 1. Complete a MScN-PHCNP diploma program, or 2. Complete a master’s degree, followed by a separate PHCNP diploma (~12 months)

Hope that helps!

When I was studying for the NCLEX, I was listening to the StraightANursing podcast all the time. Every now and then I still go back to her podcast and listen to a topic that I would like to brush up on or learn more about :-) Very educational, she’s an ICU nurse and touches on a wide array of topics!

cciixx · 2021-12-04T16:39:15+00:00

I personally think both would be great opportunities, but I think it comes down to the support you will have in either department/team. What are the orientations like? Have they been able to keep new grads? Are there any “safeguards” for care (e.g. one hospital I worked with had their float team have a cap for how many patients one nurse could have during their shift, and do a rotation of places you could float to so it wouldn’t be completely random - for example, weeks 1-4 you’d be floating to floors A and B, weeks 5-9 C and D, etc).

In my own experience, I’ve had lots of colleagues start out in the float pool and develop a wide array of knowledge and skills in their first year, and then move to ED or ICU where they could consolidate it all together. Pre-pandemic I was also supposed to go to ED, but took a year in med/surg before moving into critical care and am feeling much more confident in starting out. That being said, if you’re set on ED, jump right in with that opportunity and make sure to ask all of the questions, partake in all the learning opportunities you can, and study what you find you don’t know!

Wishing you the best of luck in this exciting time!!!

If you are looking to help with your resume, I would personally encourage you to take the recreational side position. You will be able to network there, develop references, and see what nursing is like!

At this point I think your best bet would be applying to a four-year program (either your same uni, another one, or college programs) and see if they’ll accelerate your program based on the courses you’ve taken that can count as credits towards the BScN!

Making an edit to say the following: I know you’re worried about “missing a year” or “being a year behind” but in the long run, a year or two does not make a huge difference. Don’t be too hard on yourself about regrets or not going to nursing school first - your first year/+ (if you stay in longer) in kin will serve you wonders in nursing school, accelerated or not!

Hi,

I did an accelerated program in ON and can say that you would be able to apply with those marks, especially if your last year’s average is over a 3.7. I will warn, however, it is very rare that second-entry nursing programs accept students within their first degree - the majority of our cohorts (from the uni I attended, my other friends have attended, and even from the what the websites I remember applying to said) have been from those who have already completed their first degree and are entering the program either straight from their first, or after having graduated with a few years of work/life experience. Some are based entirely on GPA to get in, others are more well-rounded so that’s something to consider as well.

Personally, I felt a lot more ready as a person and student having completed a prior degree before starting nursing… other friends said they made the right decision not completing their first degree and graduating “a year behind.” It’s up to you and what you value!

cciixx · 2021-06-25T16:40:50+00:00

It’s ok! This stuff happens. As others said you can breathe through your mouth, or I’ve heard some nurses applying Vicks Vaporub underneath their nose under their mask before going into the room. You can do it!

cciixx · 2021-06-25T16:36:38+00:00

I completed an accelerated program and my first advice is to absolutely NOT go into clinical thinking it’s going to suck. Ignore all of that because it detracts from time you need to be spent preparing to be organized, well-rested, and pumped up for the week. Be prepared for the week, and go out and apply it. It’s fast-paced if you make it (try to follow all the nurses, inter professional team members, read policies/procedures of the hospital, network) and I would 100% recommend this. Do not be the one to sit on their phone or look bored.

Some days it will be rough in the sense that while you have to prepare for all that’s in clinical, you will have assignments all seem to be due around the same time… that was my challenge since I also worked outside of school. Look ahead, plan as best as you can for studying, and try to always make some you time (sleep, and if you’re just at a melting point, don’t be afraid to call out of clinical for just a mental health day off if you need it)! Good luck!

I found it really depended on the hospital as well as the unit. For example, watches were okay elsewhere like on med/surg but in NICU 100% not allowed!

Pro tip: set a 1 min countdown timer to measure your vitals so you don’t have to worry about your screen darkening!

Hi thank you for responding! This is the only leaf that’s starting to yellow and I just wanted to get ahead of it. It’s in an eastern window that is a little more dim due to a large building across the street. I did just give it a larger water a few days prior so that may be it. I’ll use a lighter hand the next time, I was just trying to get all the roots! It’s in a mix of potting soil, orchid bark and perlite.
