is it just me or are high schoolers expected to be so much more grown nowadays. like not only appearance wise are they basically indistinguishable from college kids, but they’re put into like manager job positions at the small age of 16. i was looking at my old high school’s website a while back and they’ve implemented so many new ways that kids can basically like speedrun young adulthood - half-day programs where kids can go off to a community college and learn how to be a CNA or a welder or whatever, loads of AP classes encouraged to take by sophomore year, dual credit courses that count for both high school and college credit, online and evening classes for kids who work full-time during the day… when i was 16 years old i was not thinking about getting as much college or vocational experience as possible i was farting my ass off and watching degrassi. and so were most of my classmates. what happened

hi, i've started school again :) i've been working as a cna, and i enjoy patient care. but i also wanted to use my biology degree. so i'm working towards going for an accelerated nursing program

i'm taking pre-requisites that my bio degree didn’t cover (developmental psych, nutrition, and pathophysiology), and all of the classes are online. it’s been a transition to get back into school while also working. but it’s a new year and i'm trying to be optimistic haha

✿ wishing everyone the best in the new year (over two weeks later!) 

[kweza]

i’m a pre-nursing student! any advice? :)

sorry for the late reply! i don't know what a pre-nursing program entails exactly but here's some general advice for nursing school:

1. keep a detailed calendar. there's going to be 1001 different things due so it's very easy to lose track of things. time management will save your mental health.

2. make some nursing friends in the first semester. it's good to have a little group to study with/vent.

3. you're probably going to fail a couple of exams. it's not the end of the world and that doesn't mean nursing is not for you.

4. if possible, maybe shadow a nurse? working as a nurse and being in nursing school is two completely different things so having some experience in the field beforehand is great.

5. whenever you can during nursing school, become a CNA (certified nursing assistant) if possible. the experience makes all the difference when you finish nursing school and it's easier to integrate the workplace.

6. use all any extra lab time you can get to practice skills because you might not be able to once you start clinical rotations at the hospital.

7. BUY SECONDHAND BOOKS! (your bank account will be grateful).

8. be prepared for tricky exam questions and lots of critical thinking exercices. it's okay to suck at them, i had the worst time with the multiple-choice quizzes. practice exams online are a great way to study. registerednurseRN on youtube is also a good resource to use.

9. nursing school is basically there to prep you to think like a nurse but not so much work as one. having a hard time at school ≠ being a bad nurse. all of it is really just prep work for the NCLEX. i found that working as a nurse is actually easier than being a student so there is light at the end of tunnel lol.

10. take some breaks often. nursing is a really demanding program to be in and you should take care of yourself as much as you can throughout (or else how could you fully take care of others 😊)

⸻  LOGAN LERMAN. HE/HIM / have you ever heard of RIPTIDE by beartooth, well, it describes LEVI SPIEGEL to a tee! the thirty one year old, and CNA was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say HE is more obsessive or more DRIVEN instead? anyway, they remind me of wrinkled tshirts, the smell of bleach, completely unreadable handwriting, half drank glasses of water on the night stand and dark bags under eyes, maybe you’ll bump into them soon!

time in notting hill - a year and a half

disordered eating tw

The oldest child of relatively well off parents, Levi was driven, but not spoiled.  Despite his parents money, he never cared to rely on it, opting instead to work hard for whatever he wanted. There wasn’t anything unusual to note about his childhood - a bossy kid with a slightly explosive temper and parents who weren’t often around due to their own jobs.

Levi decided from a young age that he wanted to be a doctor - his parents were thrilled, and jumped at every opportunity to give him a leg up.  Extra classes, tutors, anything that could help him succeed.  Levi threw himself into it, studying long and hard, proving that just because his family had money, that wasn’t why he was excelling.

Extremely smart with a volatile temper, Levi didn’t make friends easily, and even when he did, there was no guarantee he’d keep them.  He often claimed he was too busy for friends anyway, spending almost every waking moment studying or watching online courses about the medical field.

Once he graduated, Levi went to one of the most esteemed med schools in the United States, getting in on his grades and hard work alone.  He refused any monetary help from his parents, earing academic scholarships and getting the hell out of dodge the moment his living arrangements were sorted.

For a while, Levi succeed.  He was top of just about every class, and while he didn’t have much of a social circle, he had a few friends who he was willing to find pockets of time to spend not studying.

His absolute worst habit is smoking.  He picked it up during college and despite knowing the negative effects of nicotine on the lungs, he has a lot of nervous energy and the less time he takes for other things (eating) the more time he had for studying.

Starting his residency, however, was something else entirely.  He was absolutely positive he could handle it - it was what his entire life had been leading up to thus far.  However, the constant self neglect and over-drive finally caught up to him.  At the age of 28, Levi suffered from a mental breakdown, and after some time spent hospitalized and after a psychiatric evaluation, the consensus was that he couldn’t continue on in the program.  Completely caught off guard and now spiraling out of control, Levi had no choice but to move home, defeated.

Ten years after he left, Levi returned to his hometown, a blank look in his eyes and sagging shoulders.  He’s never been so happy that he barely had friends when he moved away, finding that no one cared to ask how he’d been since he moved back.  Directionless, he spent months in his room, chain smoking and barely eating.  However, soon after one of his sisters declared that she was getting married and moving to the UK, and the entire Spiegel family decided that they should follow, too

The move to Notting Hill, while not ideal (in Levi’s mind anyway - he was looking forward to rotting in his childhood room longer), was a good one for the oldest Spiegel child.  He sees it as sort of a starting over point, and has actually been taking care of himself, scheduling weekly therapy sessions and working on cutting back on his vices (smoking instead of eating), as well as getting a job at the local hospital as a CNA.  He refuses to let his life slide downhill again, mostly because he doesn’t have anywhere else to go if this implodes, so he’s working on finding better coping mechanisms to get him through the life he hadn’t planned on.

Levi isn’t as cold as he comes off, and if you can get through his exterior, he can be very friendly and funny, albeit a little dark at times.  He doesn’t really like to talk about his residency, since he hates having to admit defeat.

Two weeks later…

Bent over a holoscreen of schematics, Megatron can sense that his alternate is pleasantly surprised he's actually capable of intelligent conversation, and more so, that he is able to contribute options for his dilemma. Reining in the urge to roll his optics, he focuses on the task at hand. “Mm. So how much of a power drain do you experience on short range jumps - say within one universe?”

The other gestures to a data table. “A terribly significant one that requires a week to two weeks to recharge the engines.”

Straightening to his full height, he turns his gaze to the gray frame. “And my ability to easily transcend dimensional boundaries when I want, nearly limitlessly, is your ultimate goal?”

“Precisely. A ship similar to this one had much stronger engines, though it experienced similar issues with energy expenditures to be able to jump. Therefore, the issue is not the size of the engine but rather the power source.” Megatron feels as his counterpart eyes him from the corner of his optic. “Your armor is powerful enough to allow this?”

“Ah - personal conversation. I believe it’s time for drinks.” Having found the bar aboard the ship during his last stay, Megatron opens a dimension gate to its location, sparing them a long walk. 

Once in the bar, the gate closes behind them. Not particularly thirsty, the other opts for a booth while he fixes a pitcher of some sort of engex concoction. Megatron joins him a moment later, two glasses in hand. Setting everything down on the table, he takes a seat across from him.

“When I travel, I’m not trying to move an entire ship,” he answers, pouring himself a glass. 

“You never transported anything larger than yourself?”

He sips his engex casually. “I pulled an entire planet through once to get back at someone.”

“An entire planet. At what cost?”

“In regard to energy, none. In regard to the war, that was the day I lost it. Seems it was a bit different for you,” he gestures to the Autobot brand on the other’s chest.

“Bumblebee showed me a better way. He died shortly after. It’s his brand I wear.”

“A bug showed you a better way?”

Red optics narrow. “Before the war, I was a miner who wrote of peaceful dissent from an oppressive government system that determined our lot in life - and how long we lived - in accordance with alt mode and usefulness. My intention in the beginning was never to resort to violence - but that changed. Bumblebee reminded me of who I was, what I had stood for. And at the time, it was necessary to stop Shockwave from unleashing a singularity that would have destroyed the entirety of the universe.”

“Interesting. So you founded the Decepticons?”

“Was that not the case in your universe?”

“Oh no, factionism predates me by millions of years. Where I’m from, the moment you come online, you’re one or the other. Trying to change is nearly impossible without risking death - it might as well be woven into our CNA.”

“You speak of it as though it’s more than just a symbol.”

“It is. We’re programmed. I can only speak for Decepticon programming; how it’s virus-like and vampiric. I used to be able to give it. It mimicked a bond of sorts. I could sense the whereabouts and distress of my soldiers.” He takes another swallow. “There’s only a handful of success stories in terms of dissenters.”

“Fascinating. It was your government that decided this?”

Megatron laughs. “No, our gods. War was never fought to end government corruption. The Decepticons merely grew tired of sharing Cybertron with the Autobots and rose up to conquer it. An eternal conflict between both sides was the will of the gods - they interfered to keep it going. It’s almost fantastic to believe, really. Our war was a necessity meant to keep the balance of the universe. Good and evil have to exist otherwise the entirety of the multiverse would collapse.”

“Considering I do not believe in gods, it is hard to believe.” His counterpart reaches for the pitcher then, pouring himself a drink.

“How long did your war last?”

“Four million years. Yours?”

“Ten million.”

“You’re certainly the most unique in terms of alternates I have met, paint job and all.”

“Mm. Is that a compliment, sweetspark?”

“Don’t call me that.”

Finishing his glass, Megatron pours himself another. Resting his chin on a fist, he smiles cheekily at the other. “These other Megatrons you have met then, what were they like? Certainly nowhere near as powerful as I.”

“None were remarkable enough to really leave an impression or a desire for me to make nice. Most were other versions of myself - and most wished to…” he hesitates, gesturing vaguely.

“Fuck?” he finishes for him.

“Yes.”

“Your politeness is cute.”

Megatron watches as he rolls his optics and takes a swallow of engex. Red optics regard him curiously. “You shamelessly flirt with me as though you have the same intentions.”

He laughs. “I don’t want to fuck you.”

“I suppose that’s a relief, then. I find the whole notion of engaging in such relations with other versions of myself repulsive.”

“We may call each other ‘alternate’ to avoid the awkwardness of a shared name, but that’s where it ends. I’m not you and you’re certainly not me.”

“Have you been with other Megatrons?”

“No.”

His counterpart leans forward, granting him a half-smile as he slides his hand forward just enough to brush his knuckles. “And if one flirted back?”

Teal optics gleam with playful excitement. “I don’t think you have it in you.”

[morimess]

So, I don't know how many of you remember how *angry* I was with the world during 2020 into 2021. But that was the time where I was working at that nursing home with absolutely abysmal staffing and we lost over a quarter of residents either to the pandemic or to natural causes and we just *weren't* getting people back.

And when I say that I mean both the census was continuously low, and that the staffing never got better before I left.

But while all that was happening, I was trying to get my Bachelor's of Science of Nursing (for those who don't know how ranking works in medical world it goes (from order of bottom to top of the hierarchy) CNA/PCT/Extern -> LPN/LVN -> RN-> BSN-> PA/NP -> MD). I was a CNA at the time. I was 20/21 working in literal back-breaking conditions where the beds wouldn't lift high enough for me to work- if they lifted at all.

You can read all those old posts and see how shitty the work conditions were.

I ended up failing the BSN program. Flunking so bad they practically said I could never come back.

I flunked so bad, that even after completing entrance testing that placed me well above where I needed to be for a RN program- I could still just barely make it into an LPN one.

I have my LPN now, but goddammit- I could have been more right now.

I'm still going to get my BSN. But I started that program with a graduation date that set me to have it by December of 2022. Instead, I am now 2 degrees below that, making a worse wage because of a shitty combination of anger, depression, paranoia and fear that was only exacerbated by the only human interaction I received was while being at the nursing home.

Online schooling only made it worse because I didn't have to DO anything to go to class. I could just wake up, attend class, then fall back asleep. I lost 20 lbs because I didn't have incentive to eat. I would just scroll this site or TT endlessly for entertainment when I knew I had classwork to do.

I know that if I had just been more disciplined with my work, I could have made it. I know that. But, that's a bit hard to do when the world you knew collapses around you.

being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind
