I love credit cards so much!

Couldn't help it and called the number. It said 2 weeks which from my research seems like a good sign. Fingers crossed.

Nothing wrong with calling. Or obsessively calling. *cough cough*

Seems Chase has been pretty fast lately. If the hard pulls already hit, fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!
 
The Prestige is supposed to be relaunched this month. Do you think there's a chance the bonus will make you want to choose it over the Premier? AF is very high though.

I think the downgrade to Rewards+ is a great idea. I plan to do that with my Premier when the AF hits in a year, unless there's a retention offer. The AF is actually waived the first year. There was a 60,000 TY offer, but looks like it may have expired.

If you decide to apply, you should check if your DH's account has a referral offer (possible pop-up or e-mail). I kept checking, but never got it (maybe my account is too new).

I pretty much decided against the Prestige. I don't like the change to the 4th night free and the annual fee.


DH doesn't have the Prestige anymore. He canceled his card but he's still in the 24 month lockout period. We currently have TYP cards but they are quite good for Disney.
 
Well shoot. We could really use Disney gift cards.

On another note, Dh and I both have the Amex 10% off at staples. We went in the store and started with $150 each in Disney gcs. We went to the store like Monday and it’s already gone through and given us the money back. We plan to get more tonight but try online (our store doesn’t have enough gcs for us lol)
If you can wait till Sunday buy the visa no fee and then use sb at bb

the 5x on dining/Air Travel is worth considering though. If u get this card, ur CSR and Gold card will be sockdrawed for sure.
 
That’s great. I work with kids with newly diagnosed brain tumors and a few of the nurses are brain tumor survivors. They provide a ton of inspiration to the patient and families (and staff)!

That's tough work. My sister (not a kid - a mom) was just diagnosed with a tumor in her brain stem (a glioma?) and whatever kind it is, its more prevalent in kids than adults. Its inoperable, but she's starting radiation and chemo and we're hoping that will give her some time (not that any of the docs have been willing/able to give her a timeline. She was at Dana Farber for a biopsy a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately she can be treated closer to home so she doesn't have to keep flying to Boston or relocate there for treatment. Feeling grateful for the excellent health resources in Boston - and she's was super grateful for the wonderful nurses she encountered during her biopsy and recovery.

OMGosh, even better!!!!!

ETA: I will have to post her work location once we find it. She is going to be terrorized by her famous momma for months!:jumping1:
Yes let us know we will look in March for DD bday trip. Girls have found a few college kids each trip and apparently their comments got them something from Disney Bc one of them told DD6 in April thanks for the compliment I got xyz in February.

I'm so sorry about your sister. Sending some well wishes your way (and hers).
 
i explained to a friend what credit card churning is...

you put your credit card in
you put your credit card out
you put your credit card in
and you earn it all about
you do the hokey poke
and you churn yourself around
That's whats all about!

she wasnt too happy... :|
 
Now see I have a very different experience living in MA and as an RN unlike @disneymagicgirl. First off I recommend a BSN because that’s what a lot of the top hospitals require now (I have mine). I’ve been a nurse 20 years and at the top children’s hospital
in the country for the past 12. I work part time but if I worked fulltime I’d make close to 200K/year. All my friends that are nurses are still working (and many the breadwinners) and have a variety of amazing different jobs. In the Pacu, OR, Er, home care, school, lactation specialist. There are so many avenues to go that it’s hard to not find something that works for you.
I work on a very sad unit. There is burnout. Sure there are long shifts. You have to earn your stripes. It’s not for the faint of heart. I work with kids that die on a regular basis. It’s not for everyone. It shapes your outlook on life and i never take a thing for granted. There is something so sacred that comes with meeting a complete stranger and helping them in there worst moments.
I take my kids to Children’s Boston 1-2x a year for Food Allergies and I always leave crying and thankful for my health kids. I can’t imagine how hard it must be working with terminal kids everyday. :worship::worship::worship:
 
Thanks. Good to know. I think the Open House will go to will give her a lot more info and clarity on if this is something she wants to do. The only bad thing is that you take classes for 2 years and you don't even know until the end of your sophomore year if you get in to the Nursing Program. Lots more kids than available spots (which is so silly to me - seeing they always have a shortage of nurses).
But I guess there is a even bigger shortage of teachers! My bestfriend teaches in 3 Colleges here in MA because they do not enough teachers!

I am so sorry :hug: I hope she will have much quality time with you and the family.
 
So cool so many nurses on here!

Oh no I’m so sorry. Yes we see a lot of brainstem gliomas some more aggressive than others. I’m glad she got good care and I hope she is responsive to the treatments.

yes it’s s very big sad place sometimes. It definitely opens your eyes to how lucky we are!
 
I live in very rural area graduated from community college with my RN 30 years ago. My first 9 years were in our small pediatric unit, then I went to OB. When I started on OB I loved it so much I couldn’t believe I got paid for it. I can’t imagine wanting to do anything else. Labor and delivery is mentally and emotionally tiring but incredibly satisfying. Must of the time you get to share a day with someone that will be the best day in their life.
@kidsfirsttrip I commend you. I don’t think I could do what you do.
Awe thanks. But you guys still get your tough situations and in some ways it’s almost worse because it’s completely and utterly unexpected.
