Re: how much are you paying for gas in your area?

Just filled up in South Jersey today at 3.49/gallon. In Philly it's 3.69 :knockout:

Re: Baby won't eat food

Dreamer, have you tried giving Ryder those fruit pouches? My nephew had a bit of trouble eating solids from a spoon, but he'd eat straight out of the pouch no problem. In fact, when my nephew was done with the fruit, BIL would cut the bottom out and refill it with veggies. It's an idea, maybe he's j...

Re: When did your baby start sleeping through the night?

We let our son CIO at 10 months. It took about 5 nights; the first he cried for 30 minutes, and it got less thereafter... Now (at 15m), he goes down like a champ. In fact, just within the past week, he'll go to the bottom of the steps when he's ready (for bed OR a nap), and he'll point upstairs and ...

Re: Do you have a bachelor's degree?

AN - the extern that my hospital wouldn't hire just got a job at Brandywine Hospital. Sure, it's not a major city hospital, but he got hired straight into the ICU (which is difficult to get here in the city without experience). So, if you're willing to look into smaller community hospitals, there ar...

Re: Do you have a bachelor's degree?

Karl, I do believe it's a regional thing. Where are you located? I know Florida has a huge shortage of nurses (tons of retirees there). The big hospitals in the metro Philly area require a BSN. My hospital is now on a hiring freeze for nurses, unless approved by admin. It's a shame, we had an excell...

Re: Do you have a bachelor's degree?

I am a lowly ASN (nursing), but I earn the same amount of $$ as my BSN/MSN co-workers, and I had waaaay less owed in student loans (7K vs. up to 80K!).

Re: Buy Your New House SOONER Rather Than Later

I am one of those - ahem - 3.5% down FHA loan takers. All the details are in the house hunters thread. Does that make me unresponsible? I don't think so.

Re: What Food MAKES It Christmas For You?

Lox and Bagels. Funny how a Jewish food somehow became a Christmas tradition for my Catholic family.

Yes. Basically because I'm 9 months pregnant, and still working 12 hr overnight shifts... And I suppose your first baby brings a boatload of stress.
