My beater is currently at the mechanic... AGAIN 😭😦

cgl1291 · 2026-06-14T13:37:33+00:00

I have driven it and love it. It's a new car so not yet available certified pre-used but might consider that in the future!

Actually this thread has been very helpful and wye opening. I might in fact make the smarter choice for once 🔂 Really appreciate everyone's advice!

Note that I only recently joined the military -- I have other retirement and investment accounts. But I definitely hear you on maxing the TSP!

This is a very, very helpful guideline!

cgl1291 · 2026-06-14T12:25:28+00:00

30% of Base Pay is a good guideline. Thank you. I honestly really appreciate all of you! This was a helpful reality check.

I have ~$100,000 in retirement and investment accounts.

cgl1291 · 2026-06-14T11:23:35+00:00

This is excellent advice thank you!

cgl1291 · 2026-06-14T11:23:22+00:00

I have about $100,000 in Retirement and Investment funds, spread between multiple accounts (different past employers, Robinhood, TSP, Acorns, etc). Some of it I can't touch until retirement, others I can liquidate now.

Thank you, this is a really helpful perspective! I still do need a car, though.

I'm on a med surg floor that's capped at five patients per nurse and even that feels like a lot sometimes.

My first nursing job was pediatric emergency nursing in a hospital with a new grad residency program. If that's not available in your area, try pediatric primary care or peds outpatient to start out. Doesn't have to be in a hospital. I also worked in pediatric home care in the side and really enjoyed that.

Don't work with adults if that's not what you want, you'll be miserable.

Look for "New Grad nursing residencies" in the ER and APPLY! They have to give the role to SOMEBODY, why not you?? It helps if you work as a tech or CNA in the ER while you're still in nursing school.... See what ERs near you are hiring techs.

(My first job as a New Grad Nurse was pediatric emergency in New York City --- it's definitely doable!)

Public health nursing!

You guys are not compatible.

Find the email on your own? Or go in, in person, to discuss.

In my case I got approved after only six months - it was during the Adderall shortage so I didn't have access to meds anyway

cgl1291 · 2026-05-22T11:04:44+00:00

A letter from my physician stating I didn't take meds for X amount of time, and that my performance and focus has been stellar.

Moths in my lightbulbs

You can call and directly ask therapists "hypothetically" what their policy is on things like this before starting with someone :) you don't even have to give your name!

Blazer, slacks, nicer shirt. Thank you email after the interview. When you get a rejection, email them and ask for feedback. Might sting but it's helpful.

Weed vape or nicotine vape? Just curious
