    nursing school definitely has some aspects that you may call “inappropriate”, but its all in context. when my friends and i study those subjects, we say k read this slide and we continue on, without mentioning it in detail. its definitely a challenge, but we deal with it. i will say that there have been times i have left a room because of conversations the nonjews were having. thats part of going to a non-frum college such as bulka, touro or raizel rite.

    as for the frum men, of the 4 in the entire BI, i know 2 of them are married, one i am pretty sure, and the last i have no idea. for his sake i hope he is, but its not my place.

    the.nurse: can i ask which RN to BSN program you are taking and how long the entire thing takes after the RN? i missed the day Excelsiar came to BI.

    i am in my second semester of my fist year of nursing school right now, and let me say if you arent dedicated to the nursing program, dont start. it takes a big commitment and a lot of dedication, not to mention a lot of study time and concentration.

    As not i said, Beth Israel is a 2 year program, and the graduates recieve a AAS, which lets the graduate take the N-CLEX RN test, after which, you are a RN (registered nurse). Bulka (seminar hachadash) is 2.5 years, but graduates have a BSN (a bachelors in nursing) the program (from what i hear) is more intestnse).

    beth israel is a great program, and there are quite a few frum girls (and men) in the program. the teachers are very accomodating for yom tov, and most for most of the yomim tovim, the school is closed. as a program, its great, and so glad to have chossen BI for my nursing degree

    and to anyone choosing the feild of nursing, Hatzlacha rabah!

    here’s one

    “standing in with his congregation, in deep concentration and fear, the chazzon knows that he may not live out the year”

    any one know the name of the song and the artist?

    depends what you are posting. if you are posting a nice picture slide show to a song, thats seems to be fine.

    it’s the flip side of the coin that can ruin shidduchim. if it a video of bnei/bnos yisroel doing something inappropriate, then why are they putting it on in the first place? personally, i have an extreme dislike to the youtube videos of yeshiva bachrim spoofing jewish songs and making fools of themselves. they dont have to sit and learn 24/7 but there is no reason to shout to the world that you are in yeshiva and this is what you do.

    one of my biggest phone pet peeves, is someone in the car on speaker phone, and having a different conversation with each passenger in the car.

    Re apushatayid hanging up, my friends and i have an understanding. if the click lasts longer than one minute, we hang up, and the other person calls back when the click conversation is finished. problem solved and no hurt feelings. if the primary conversation is important, we either ignore the click (unless a parent is calling-always top priotity) or we answer and say “i’m sorry, have to call you back later”. that way there are no (major) problems.

    there are boys out there who are normal, yet have what you call “a blemish”. some people call a broken family not normal. my friend is getting married IY”H very soon. her parents are divorced, his father was niftar. he is an amazing boy, both from what my friend has told me, and from the few times i met him in person. there is no need to despair that there is no boy out there for you. every person has a zivug, and shidduchim sometimes literally fall from Hashem. right now the only thing you can do is daven to Him that you will meet and marry the best boy for you.

    hatzlacha, and may you see alot of mazal and bracha come to you from Hashem

    shared interests and backgrounds help start a friendship. sharing, caring, giving, listening, helping and supporting one another is what strengthens the friendship

    one note on Cleveland winters: in the “heights” (Cleveland heights) people rarely shovel and the city does not put down salt. i went there for seminary, and imagine walking on a thick sheet of ice that is the road. not a fun situation. Cleveland is a place for people who tolerate the cold really well.

    a plus side of Cleveland is that the housing is not as expensive, the people are really nice and friendly, and the schools there excellent.

    wanderingchana: you left out one beautiful feature. lake erie is very nice, but it also gives cleveland alot of lade effect snow.

    chayav inish livisumay: never never said i didn’t appreciate uniforms. i said now i can HONESTLY say. big difference. now that i have seen both sides of the coin, its pretty obvious which side was easier and more convenient. i have friends who went to school where there was just a dress code, and we used to discuss who had it easier. the general consensus was, dress codes have more “fun”, but they have to go shopping, and think and actually make a mental decision of what they are going to wear. uniforms we decided are a no brainer in the morning. with a limited choice of wardrobe for school (excluding shoes and jewelry and accessories)it was easy to wake up, get dressed and run out the door. less time consuming. but we also decided that we wished the uniforms weren’t as shapeless and baggy as they were. side has its pros and cons, and each school and its hanhala decided what was best for its school. you can’t change the rules, so why complain?

    As a post-HS girl now in the “real world”, I can now honestly say, uniforms are a good idea. now i have to actually think of what to wear, rather than just go to my closet and take out the standard. these days, girls still have lee-way. between the shoes, jewelry, headbands and clips, the uniform is NOT just one entity. add the different sweaters and sweatshirts, each girl adds her unique flare. and if the girls disagrees with the uniform, she changes when she gets home. there is no rule that she is expected to wear the uniform 24/7. rather than complain about uniforms, they should be thankful they don’t have the added burden of being part of a daily fashion show if they lacked a school uniform.
