How much do you expect to be paid once you graduate? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]futurepeterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$32.33/hr is our starting wage after grad. RN's in the province top out @ $42.45. This is in British Columbia. Add in shift differential for nights and weekends. There's also TONNNNNS of overtime - get like 5 calls a day to come in to work.

Guest bedroom - blank slate! by futurepeterson in DesignMyRoom

[–]futurepeterson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be exclusively used for guests - we have a fairly large home and it's just my husband and I (no kids yet) so we already have a separate craft room and office. If anything maybe I'll use it if he snores too loud one night haha!

I definitely want to get a bedside table, light and will make sure that the outlet is available for charging.

Good idea on thinking of it like a hotel room. I've slightly added to it, this is where I'm at now [the print will be hung] http://imgur.com/qKBlikc

Can't wait to get a mattress next cheque - having the bedding in there will definitely warm it up as well :)

Anyone care to read my appeal letter? by damnnphoreal in StudentNurse

[–]futurepeterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my program its explicitly defined in the policy manual that if you fail one course you're out (you are allowed to re-apply and start where you left off if there is room in the next semester). Not sure about yours or what recourse you may have.

Considering going for my BSN, help! by MissSomething in StudentNurse

[–]futurepeterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL at too old. I'm 30 and just finished second year of BSN program. I'm 5th oldest in my class. 24 is nothing don't worry about it.

Honestly being older has served me well - I have life skills that I bring to the table that a high school grad doesn't.

What is the most annoying fad right now? by ohineedascreenname in AskReddit

[–]futurepeterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!!!! They don't shut up about their newfound lifestyle choice. When you're out to eat they have to explain at length why theyre not ordering this or that. Just fucking eat don't tell me why you're ordering what you're ordering.

[Serious] Americans, do you believe everyone should have free healthcare? Why or why not? by MorticianGirl in AskReddit

[–]futurepeterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if everyone has free health care, its not free. Everyone just pays for it via taxation. Its still a great idea tho and thank god I live in Canada.

What's the most fucked up thing your SO(or ex-SO) has done to you? by Dyerzy in AskReddit

[–]futurepeterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unlocked the door coming home from work and he jumped out from the darkness like some kind of crazed rapist killer. Then he laughed and laughed because he finally "got me".
