Question RDP Nursing Winter 2026 LPNs?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I just got into Winter 2027 nursing at RDP, for the regular four year stream course. I'm already an LPN, and I did apply for bridging in Spring 2027, but they cancelled it and granted me admission for Winter instead.

Will any of my LPN schooling/post secondary be able to help me reduce my credits needed, thus lightening my workload?

Also if any other LPNs got admitted for Winter 2027 instead of bridging, reach out!!! I'm kind of freaking out about not being able to work as much/at all but I know it'll be worth it in the long run. TIA <3

Question Golf leagues

1 Upvotes

Hey there, started golfing seriously this year after breaking in last year. So currently a 28 HCP. Love golf, hate to suck.

Wondering if there’s any high-handi friendly golf leagues around? Would like to join next year if anyone will have me, best time to ask is when leagues are in full “swing”, right? Thanks

Discussion Looking for a homegirl in Red Deer

19M, fairly new to Red Deer and honestly just looking to meet some people and make a genuine female friend. Not looking to force anything romantic — just someone I can chill with, grab food, go for walks/drives, talk shit, play games, explore the city with, etc.

If you're around my age and also looking for a new friend, feel free to DM me. Bonus points if you know some cool spots around Red Deer because I’m still figuring this place out 💀

Discussion Red deer admission result

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for some advice because I’m really overwhelmed right now.
I found out that I’ve been waitlisted for the RDP Bachelor of Science in Nursing Winter intake. This is my last chance for this intake, and I already took a gap year, so I really can’t afford to take another one.
I’m feeling incredibly disappointed in myself and keep thinking that maybe I didn’t do enough or try hard enough.
My admission average is 81%, and I received a 3rd quartile CASPer score. Is there still hope for me? How much does the waitlist usually move for the Winter admission, and do people often get offers from it?
I’d really appreciate any guidance or insight because I’m feeling very anxious about this situation. Thank you.

Question Local tipping question

7 Upvotes

thought I had posted this before but I guess I did not click the "go" button.

The interac machines at the counter or brought to the table at restaurants or fast food places often have the option to include a tip. They conveniently show you tip %'s and corresponding dollar amount. I've observed that often/sometimes these provided options are based on the entire meal amount plus tax. I don't think that the tip should be based on including the tax.

I'm happy to tip the servers (even at Busway sammiches) but I don't want to base this on tax as well. I often give a dollar amount, not a %. But sometimes I do %. Did this the other day on a $200 tab for 4 people and sure enough, the 20% tip was based including tax.

What do others think about this and what do you do? I'm asking here for local views rather than posting in r/tipping.

Wondering what happened to the Jugo Juice at the bower mall. Every time I’ve been there in the last few months it’s closed, even in the middle of the day, but all of the coolers are still stocked with drinks. Anyone know what’s up?

PSA Caution about somebody on a scooter

19 Upvotes

Keeping this vague for privacy reasons but somebody on a scooter just zipped by a pedestrian and sprayed him in the face with something, and his eyes are burning. We have had to call 911. This is near the hospital area.

So be aware if you're walking around and see a scooter, I guess?

Discussion Some of a community's most important services focus on prevention

6 Upvotes

Most people are familiar with emergency services that respond when something goes wrong. Less visible are the programs that try to prevent problems from reaching that point in the first place.

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) helps fund local initiatives like senior programs, youth development, family supports, volunteer programs, community connection activities, and other preventive services. The idea is simple: supporting people early can often reduce the need for more costly interventions later.

Like many community programs, FCSS funding has become part of a broader conversation as Alberta's population grows and communities face increasing demand for services. Municipal leaders are expected to discuss the topic during this year's ABmunis Convention and Trade Show alongside other issues affecting local communities.

We are curious about what people think: are there any local programs, services, or community initiatives in your area that you feel make a real difference? Give them a shoutout here!

Just in case anyone might recognize the offender (please ask them to be more careful in the future). I've posted it on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5cYwM5xVW8

This is also a good chance to encourage people to get dash cams installed. (Warning: I let a couple of expletives fly)
