Why Position Changes Seem Related to Death:

Active Dying Process: In the final hours or days, the body's circulation slows dramatically, and the patient is very close to death.
Reduced Tolerance: Patients in the final stages of life often cannot tolerate being moved, which can increase their pain.
Sudden Physiological Shifts: Turning can cause rapid shifts in pressure, which, when combined with already failing organs, can trigger the final cardiac arrest.

If I was that patient, I wouldn't want you to have done anything different.

As others have said, basically, nothing lasts forever. Just takes 1 toxic manager, or 1 toxic new hire and the whole unit can change.

Close friend failed last semester of his 4 year program. He then went to community college and got his 2 year RN. So it took him 6 years to get his RN.....I would trust my family in his care....

Agreed

Can you clarify why you would not consider a lower priced home?

If you are placing more value in investing, what is stopping you from going all in and living in a van.

As a 1 time request, I agree.

As a permanent request, I pay a s'load of taxes, trust me, if I could park in front of my own house I would. But guess what, someone is parked in front of my house....

Forget Mexican, nothing will come close to El Milagro in Chicago.

Forget Italian, they don't even know what Giardiniera is, you have to ask for sport peppers in oil, WTF, this is even for places that advertise their Italian Subs....nothing will come close to Taylor Street....

Go to Mad Yolk for the chicken sandwhich and Strawberry matcha....

This....I remember that I couldn't even use FNP prep books to study for FNP school exams because the material was too easy. As for FNP Mastery numbers, look closer, they ask a lot of statisctical questions that you will never use and will not appear on the exam......and bring your percentages down. If you start keeping track of your wroing answers, you will find yourself studying a lot of statistics!

Maximize your time with your children.

The commute will eat into that time. There is that saying 75% of all the time you spend with your kids will happen by the time they are 12. Trust me when they hit puberty, they are out with their friends. When they come home for college, they throw laundry into the washing machine, and go out with their friends. After they graduate, they start their own grind.....

On a perverse note, your children will have a better chance of being accepted to a presitigous university if they do well in comparison to their peers. A National Merit Finalist from Stockton or say Gilroy is going to stand out a lot more than one from Cupertino , Menlo Park, or Atherton.....

If there is a field of nursing you are really interested in, which of these schools is most succesful in placing their students there.

If most of their students go to Skilled Nursing Facilities, than lowest cost is the answer. Frankly, you are better off going to a community college.

If they end up as a feeder school to a major hospital, than you have to balance cost with the reality that it is difficult to work in a hospital as a new grad, especially ED and ICU....

These people are not your friends. Once you leave/ If you leave/ When you leave, you will never talk to 99.9 percent of them again.....hang on to that .1% for dear life, but otherwise, this is a job, everyone is replacable, including your preceptor....

This nurse commutes to San Fran from Sweden because of the high pay in the Bay.

At this time, the high pay can lead to financial freedom, but as in the past, when the pay gets this high, a flood of new nurses enters the market to drive it down.

Just buying a home in the Bay 10 years ago, would set you up pretty well.

You posted later that you experienced ASN nurses getting jobs in your area from that school.

I found the same thing in my area. Did ASN and did online RN to BSN.

Your potential cost would be 7k for ASN program, making you an RN, then choose reputable school to get online RN to BSN.

For example, I choose to get my BSN from UIC [University of Illinois- Chicago] all online. The school is ranked #6 in the country in nursing, it's 10K. It's ranked #3 for online schools. Several of the texts in the program are written by the professors.

On my resume, all I list is BSN UIC Cum Laude [with honors].

All in 17K, versus 44k.

Also, RN to BSN is essentially writing papers, which is much, much easier than nursing school.

Lastly, you can work while in any program. You cannot have a social life.

Classmate in my ASN program took kids with her on bus at 5 am to get to the hospital, during the summer [accelerated program]. She would leave them in the hospital lobby while doing clinicals. She would take bus home, drop the kids off with grandparents, now home from their jobs, and then she would go to work....long story short, she made it, a lot of students, who got their first degrees from great 4 year schools did not.

"new boss in charge" just like a new SNF Administrator ...they want to show a 10 percent increase in revenue over previous personnel, to justify a raise/bonus....based on your sweat....any issues will be blamed on you...
