I'm home and watching my two year old son all weekend: Ask me anything! (2 Viewers)

Always interesting to hear an individual's progression.

My wife spent 15 years as VP of Communications and Public Affairs for AAPA; her sister-in-law is an NP/PhD recruiter and administrator for Chamberl;ain University Nursing, so I've heard a lot of stories about both vocations. So much depends on the state you live in...

I have old coworkers that went through Chamberlain to get their BSN's. I think they offer Masters degrees too, but don't believe they offer NP diplomas IIRC.

It's insane to look at the differences of what my scope of practice is from state to state. New Jersey is middle of the road in that regard, but neighboring states like CT and MA essentially allow NP's to act completely on their own without any MD or DO oversight. I've asked my wife if we could move to a state that allowed total NP independence and I was promptly shut down. We both still have too much family here in Jersey.

They have several NP specialty tracks in their masters program, as well as a doctoral program now. Big time!

Guilty pleasure above, sue me! As you can see, my taste isn't as refined, but I'd try any beer once.

Apologies if this kind of thing isn't allowed, feel free to take down if not allowed.

There's very little that I won't share, including very personal information about family and other sensitive information that can be used to sell my information to identity thieves. Other than that, all fair game!

First rack of chips acquired?

First rack of chips acquired?

Are we talking ever or first rack/set?

Like most of us, first poker chips ever were a set of dice chips gifted to me by one of my best friends.

First PCF purchase was a cash set of Majestic China Clays. First Paulson chips were a set of casino used HS Cincinnati's.

Bored. Bumping this.

How old is you son now, and what is different since last year?

How old is you son now, and what is different since last year?

My son actually turned three and a half today!

Man, so much has changed in a year. Chipping wise, life wise, career wise. There's never a dull moment over here.

Career wise, I'm working in the same building, but just over a month ago the building changed ownership and I report to a new boss, but with a decent raise, which I'm definitely going to need, because my son now has a two week old little sister and I'll have to pay for day care for two kids for about a year and a half starting next March.

Chipping wise, I've been able to acquire both my grail tournament sets. After I submit an order with Sunfly for a limit set in the coming weeks, I'll be waiting for my paid off CPC cash set. After that, it's going to be 2023 pretty much until I can pursue other CPC projects I have in mind. Beyond the custom projects I have in mind, I've accomplished just about everything I've wanted to chipping wise.
