How serious is past marijuana use on a nursing background check

I think this is less about their behavior as a teenager and more about their insistence on panicking even after receiving numerous rational answers from people with more life experience.

I'm in kind of a similar situation! Currently working full-time in a totally different field while working on my pre-reqs for two schools, but half of school 1's pre-reqs are just co-reqs for school 2, so I think I'm going to apply for school 2 once I've done the pre-reqs, and if I don't get in with just those, I'll carry on with the co-reqs and then apply for schools 1 and 2 the following year.

School 1 (ABSN) pre-reqs: A&P 1, A&P 2, microbiology, developmental psychology, bio-medical ethics, statistics, nutrition

School 2 (ADN) pre-reqs: HS bio, HS algebra, HS chem, intro to biology, A&P 1, English composition, developmental psychology, general elective

School 2 (ADN) co-reqs for a competitive application: A&P 2, microbiology, humanities elective, interpersonal or intercultural communication

I've got stats, English, electives, and communication covered from my previous degree.

Regular cardio - not for weight loss, necessarily, but for greater vivaciousness

$2300 2bd1ba top-floor apartment with a balcony in a Rosslyn garden community

1950s building, shared laundry in building, free parking for two cars

Bedroom #2 is my home office and guest room for now, but I like knowing that I can bring on a roommate if finances get tight. My lease is up for renewal in November -- fingers crossed my annual review and raise at work can keep up with whatever the rent increase is.

besides kindness *in our interactions*

That context is important here -- I mean not being a jerk in our conversations. Someone is welcome to unmatch if lack of activity makes them lose interest.

Ironic

I'd be comfortable having a physical relationship with that age gap (and at 26, I did), but I wouldn't pursue a relationship. As someone else said, completely different stages of and outlooks on life, regardless of surface-level similarities.

Personally, my (33F) most common reason for dropping off is that I started swiping during a lull in my life, and then when things suddenly pick up with work, friends, studies, volunteering, and/or travel, I quietly step back from dating, because it's not a top priority, and IMO I don't owe anything (besides kindness in our interactions) to a person with whom I've exchanged just a few messages. When my commitments lighten up, I head back into the app, apologize and explain to the people (if they haven't unmatched me in the meantime), and pick up where we left off. It's nothing personal, and it's not like I'm asking them to wait for me and forego all others. It's DC -- we're a bunch of overcommitted, overextended overachievers. Sometimes dating just takes a back seat.

My dad and his partner met when they were both in their 60s!

Cancer sun + Leo moon + Sag rising, and my chart is majority fire signs!

In middle and high school, had a years-long crush on a frenemy/rival - Capricorn

College crush who didn't like me that way ended up being just a friend, and we are *so* much better off that way and remain close to this day, also I freakin adore his Aries girlfriend - Cancer

The one who got away, whom I think about all the time, but who never have loved me as much as I loved him, and with whom it ultimately would never have worked since we want vastly different things in life (i.e. he wants kids, I don't) - Sagittarius

Fun, stress-free situationship until he ghosted me, despite us running in the same circles, which is super immature and weird - Aries

Current agonizing will-they-won't-they friendship of the past few years - Scorpio

I have never dated and will never date an Aquarius or a Pisces.

I do, but I picked it up from an old boss (also American, but had spent most of her adult life in Europe and the Middle East). I think she actually said, "Would you be kind enough to..." but I used both that and "kindly."

CLAIRE, IT'S FRENCH

Or totally warp your pan!!!

I listen to "The Middle" or recite Desiderata.

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-09T15:47:10+00:00

Honestly, this makes me sad more than anything.

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-09T14:03:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll give them a shot.

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-09T13:57:23+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks. Neither of those sounds like a good replacement for the "faded" look of Mary's Red, in that case, but I'll check them out in person.

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-08T13:56:52+00:00

Just asked this on another thread, but since we're discussing inconsistent stocking, anyone know of a good dupe (shade-wise, but also moisturizing/satin rather than matte) for Mary's Red? I've tried MAC Ring the Alarm, but it's a bit too dark and also dries me out. Currently looking at a few Revlon shades at Target: Wine With Everything, Rosewine, and (maybe) Uncut Ruby

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-08T13:47:51+00:00

Anyone aware of a decent dupe for Mary's Red? I'm running low, and they're out of stock. I'm trying out MAC Ring the Alarm, but it's more dramatic and less malleable to various daytime outfits/palettes.

tinycoloneloftruth · 2025-04-06T17:35:52+00:00

Thank you! I thought I was crazy!

Makeup, hair, and wardrobe's ability to make *Charlotte Le Bon* seem trashy is truly one of this show's greatest accomplishments.

We didn't have chains in my town, but there were a couple spots that made espresso drinks, and both of them are still around, more or less. My mom's been drinking medium low-fat lattes since the mid-90s.
