Nursing preceptorship

I’m finishing up my nursing program this April with RDP. My preceptorship starts March and my clinical lead has advised me to figure out my top 3 to get into. Those who go to RDP, in nursing or just have general knowledge… If I request to be placed in Calgary for preceptorship, what’s the likelihood of that? And what field in nursing are good to get into?

Attention Filmakers/Actors in the Red Deer / Calgary / Edmonton area!

Hello!

I'm moving to red deer today, and am interested in meeting/collaborating with anybody interested in film-making in the general area!

I'm looking for a group of people to just start pumping out little short films or skits or whatever anybody has in mind. I've got lots of ideas, and when I get there there's some things I can start doing on my own, but I'd love to collaborate with some people.

If anybody is interested in acting or filming or lighting or sound or whatever and wants to help out that would be great, and in return I can help with projects of yours in return. :)

I made a Whatsapp group if anyone wants to join:

Basement Framing

I'm having trouble finding anyone that is able to frame my unfinished basement in Penhold. I already have the plans from the original home builder, however I can't find anyone that will do just the framing, they will only do entire basement renovations start-finish.

Does anyone know of anyone willing to take on smaller projects like this?

Missed Connection

Hello just reach out to see if anyone knows the Blonde Girl working at Halloween Alley. We connected talked about music and seemed genuinely interested but like a dumby I got too caught up in the moment and forgot to ask for her number.

Church question

I am looking for a church to join as I just moved to Red Deer but want one with a women’s group. Unfortunately everyone I have looked at only has them during the day when I am working. Any suggestions for places that hold them at night?

Birds at Riverside

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced. I didn’t think they’d actually land on my hand but they did! The bigger one is a nuthatch and the smaller ones are chickadees.

Thinking of going back to school

Hey guys! I'm an autistic adult and was thinking of going back to school. I want to become an EA. Are there any EAs out there who can elaborate on what the process looks like of getting your certificate or how the job market is for EAs? Aswell are there any RDP students with disabilities who could tell me how accommodating the school is? Thanks

Nursing at RDP

hey everyone, I’m a grade 12 student who just applied to rdp for nursing, and am wondering for those who are in or have done that program what the grade averages are for acceptance. I sent my grade 11 grades (89%/3.3 avg) and am awaiting my casper score, but not sure if that’s enough. Let me know if you have extra info!

Long hair, and long beard barber

Hey all so I've been putting off getting work done on my hair/beard for awhile now. Definitely needs a clean up for sure. Problem is I'm not sure where to really look that specializes in BOTH longer hair, and longer beards (approx 1ft for each). I've checked out the Instagram pages of a few of the different barbers around town here, but none of the ones I've found show any work done with long hair, and long beards. Most guys with long beads tend to have short hair, or are bald, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jaks Attacks, a well known influencer from Red Deer AB.

Hey everyone, hope your day is well. I am not sure if you know, but there is a well known influencer from the Red Deer Alberta area who uses the stage name Jaks Attacks. He uses primarily TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. He posts primarily LGBTQ+ content, farming content, self help videos, humor, and lip sync videos. He runs his family farm in the country outside of Red Deer. Just letting you Red Deerians know this.

Oh, Deer Podcast

No question this time around, but I wanted to give a shout out to the Oh, Deer podcast. Although I've seen and heard a lot about them on social media and around Red Deer, I have to admit I'd never actually listened to their podcast before.

But, after attending the Business of the Year awards the other day, and seeing how good two of the guys were with their interviews with the winners, I finally listened to an episode... and I have to say, it was pretty good for a local podcast, and the sound/production quality is a lot better than you'd expect.

It's a great mix of local content and random conversations/entertainment, with a local guest every episode. Not only are they surprisingly funny, they're very positive and pump up the community a lot instead of just going for the low-hanging fruit and building on all the negativity that's out there. I'm sure they're not for everyone, but if you haven't listened to them before, I highly recommend giving them a listen for some great local information and entertainment.

Townhouse Noise

I have lived in a condo/townhouse my entire life. Went from growing up in a townhouse, to apartments, to owning one, and I have never had THIS much noise happen and I don’t know what to do.

We had new neighbours move in about 2 months ago, and like clock work everyday starting at 9pm there is on and off banging. Not sure what it could possibly be but it’s at the point where it’s actually keeping us up at night.

What does one do in this situation? I’m not about to tell someone how to live in their own home but at the same, constantly banging on your shared walls at 11pm at night, isn’t very neighbourly!

I thought about going to them and making a point but they aren’t very approachable people, I thought about writing a note or going to the condo board but it just seems very “Karen” like. Any advice???
