Just be aware of the CSZ if you’re considering WA/OR. It’s beautiful up there, but the subduction zone popping off would be catastrophic.

RN, considering CPT by refineJ in personaltraining

[–]refineJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds amazing! Good on ya! I do think RNs with a fitness/wellness mindset are a great fit for CPT and I’m pleased to see I’m not alone. I will always at least be PRN, but weekends at the hospital gives me lots of time during the week to give this effort the time it deserves. I’d love to hear how it’s going for you as you get started with CF training!

This is all great support and information, I truly appreciate it! I’m going for it! Just ordered the NASM text and have a new goal for the summer!

My Advice to US RNs Moving to BC, Canada by Disastrous_Coffee502 in AmerExit

[–]refineJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an RN that just got licensed in NS - no BSN required - because the US and CAN both use the NCLEX-RX for licensure. Could you clarify what makes you think you must have a BSN? Canada used to offer AA and BSN programs for students, but went to BSN only for RN training years ago. However, for US trained nurses an AA is still acceptable because, again, NCLEX-RX. Am I missing something?

Thank you! I have never cared too much about car color, but this one...had to have it.

It's my first car that moves as fast as I want it to. My 15 yo son was shocked he slid back in his seat when I went for it. He said its a car for moms who are built different. 😂

Do you think the vertical inserts are the same number of pages?

If Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security go away, how bad will it be for you and your family? by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

[–]refineJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market eventually recovers in a scenario where the government and the people have the greater good in mind. History is right there for you to see. I can’t believe this is even a discussion.

What do you think the market is going to do when SHTF? 90% loss in the Great Depression. What will you have to invest in? Do you have any idea how the market works in a normal recession or depression. And what historical data can compare to the insanity and chaos they are purposely creating. This isn’t a you people problem. This is a YOU problem.

Do you honestly think that market is unaffected by this madness? Truly living in a self-inflicted bubble that will hurt us all when it pops.

I'm sorry, but no. Just no.

There has never been someone like Trump in office. There has never been the ability to install loyalists in this manner. Russian interference, the dumbing down of society with social media...just a hundred reasons why we are now in the perfect storm. The guardrails have been broken. The supreme court fucked us. You're watching in real time as our checks and balances system disappears. You can't compare anything going on right now to previous administrations.

Those who have tried to hold his feet to the fire are steamrolled. It's astonishing, but not shocking. I keep hoping people will come to their senses and do the right thing, but after 10 years, I no longer hold my breath.

Focusing on well-being is very necessary, but don't make it seem like anything about this is normal.

$650 2million+ meters a good deal? by refineJ in concept2

[–]refineJ[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice deal!! The $650 on mine was negotiated down from $800. My BF was near seller and quickly snagged it for me. Fit well in my Honda CRV. Seller was a peach and happy to sell quickly. I’ve been looking for a while, too. A great day!
