Wow...it's a bit sad that 5 three year vets are retiring! I'm mostly surprised about Robin! I will miss having them on the team but happy for Amy and KaShara that they can continue to represent their rookie class as strong leaders and the only two returning from season 10's rookies! I loved that rookie class! I wonder how many of the returning vets will be cut at finals! It's all so exciting lol!

Wow tha means that for the next 2 years they wont have any 5 year vet? Assuming Lacey is leaving and that both of them will retire next year (Amy for her wedding, Kashara because there's no point in staying honestly). On the one hand they definitely need some stability, on the other hand I can't say that I want that many 1-2 year vets to stay much longer. Hope they get some good candidates this year.

This goes to show that we actually know nothing that happens behind the scenes. Savannah may be the best teammate, going above and beyond.. And we dont see any of it. So happy for her! I love an under

I attend a weekly bible study, and even I roll my eyes at some of the things people in our group ask us to pray for.... then I pray for myself for being so bitchy and eyerolly. ?

But from what @MrsEVH posted from the podcast, unless I'm reading this totally wrong, it sounds like 2 are not going to try out, meaning the rest of them are.  My guess...Simone & Bess.

Is it confirmed about Robyn or is it speculation?

I'm still confused as to why Amy held up the 2 fingers. Did she mean (like you said) 2 are not coming back or possibly they lost 2 more of the 3 yr vets ?

i hope this is actually what it is!!! that would make WAY more sense.  I really thought Stephanie would return, she's been killing it in the gym and going to so many classes.  I could even see Simone doing one more year (tho when exactly is her wedding?) and I truly thought Robin would too.  Chantel is actually the one I thought may retire with Bess, just because she's been pro dancing for a long time.

Is Simone still engaged? I noticed she wasn't wearing a ring at Jax's wedding and she hasn't posted a picture with her fiance since September.

hmm, i don't know! her FB says she is still engaged and profile pic is with him but it's from September.  She doesn't seem to be on FB much (tho i'm not friends with her so it's very possible i don't see latest).  I know in December when she was DCC of the week she mentioned him as the most inspirational person in her life, about how hardworking he is, etc.

I only listened to the podcast too, but I think someone said Amy hold up two fingers when Shannon ask her and Alexis about how many girls were not going to tryout again.

No no I watched it! She said it’s sad because every one is basically saying “dueces” and held up a peace sign!

3 hours ago, MrsEVH said:

At about 49:22  she says  "everyone  like in almost the 3rd years are" and then holds up 2 fingers.

She said something along the lines of “all the third years are saying dueces and held up a peace sign

She even admits in the comments she isn't one...but it's the job she was hired to? what does that even mean exactly? i would be TICKED if I was a mom and took my child in, got treated by her saying 'i'm the pediatric nurse' and finding out she doesn't have the degree...!! YIKES.  

I just read that too...very confusing

How does one get hired to be a nurse without a nursing degree? That seems as though it would be illegal and completely unethical

BSN is a 4 year college nursing degree, or bachelor of science in nursing. You can work as a nurse without a college degree as an RN (2-3 years) registered nurse, or LPN (1 year) licensed practical nurse. I'm guessing she's a LPN. Or even a Certified Nursing Assistant which is lower still. By her screen name, I'm guessing she's a CNA.

No you can not work in any state as an RN without a college degree .  You are required to have either an Associate or Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing and then are required to take a state exam.  When you apply to take that exam you are as well required to submit proof that you not only attended but graduated with one of the 2 degrees .  For the LPN/LVN you are required to attend a 12-18 month vocational program and again graduate and submit proof prior to sitting for the exam.  LPN/LVN’s are not allowed in any state to work in a hospital. They can work in long term care facilities, physician offices and outpatient facilities .

Not true.... LVN’s can work in hospitals in Texas. My mother was an LVN for over 30 years and spent the last ten years of her career working in a hospital. 

 

Are we seriously back on the Cersten nursing thing again? ?‍♀️

No. We're moving on. It's a beaten dead horse and it's not like she's shouting "SCREW WHAT YOU SAY I'M A NURSE!!!"

That’s exactly what Cersten is doing, in a backhanded way. I won’t beat the dead horse; rather, I will let karma work her magic. Nurses are highly respected in the hospital and going into residency with an attitude that anyone in the medical field can be hired as a “nurse”...well, let’s just say that she will learn quickly that a nurse can be either a resident’s best ally or her worst nightmare.

That's assuming she's even getting accepted to a medical school, which I doubt.  Given her lies about being a nurse, I'll take whatever she says with a grain of salt.

It would be a shame if Cersten sidetracks her ambition to become a doctor in favor of staying on as a DCC for an additional year.  That would be an example of choosing a short term interest over long term gain.  Becoming a doctor is a long and arduous process.  My sister graduated college a year early, at 21, and began medical school that same year.  She put in 4 years in medical school, 4 years of residency, and another 3 years in a post-residency fellowship.  If she had chosen to be a surgeon, a specialty to which she was well-suited and recommended by her professors, the track would have been even longer.   Part of the reason she declined a surgical specialty was that she had gotten married along the way, and wanted to start a family at some point.  By the time she had finished all of the aforementioned education and training, she was 32 years old, and only then did she finally have the time to have children.  Every year that Cersten postpones her plans for medical school, is another year that she may forego that dream altogether, or else find herself making compromises - as a woman (of course!) - in terms of choice of a specialty, or family planning.

But I thought being a DCC is the be all, end all of a girl's dream. According to Kelli, being a DCC is the best time a girl can have in life. *sarcasm inserted here*

Please forgive my ignorance, but can someone point out the instances where Cersten states that she is actually a nurse? Did she say she is one, or did she say that she is considered one at her job, or do people use that term when referring to her work position? 

I was under the impression that she received her BS in biology and has worked as a certified medical assistant and surgical tech.

The whole conversation stemmed from Cersten listing “pediatric nurse” as her occupation on DCC’s webpage, under her bio. It was discussed at length on this site a few months back, if you would like to do a search.

I think Christina is wearing the same dress Gina wore at first meeting. She looks pretty in yellow.

Christina looks great, I am kind of shocked because she didn’t really stand out to me before. I am not a fan of the outfits Miranda, Lexie and Keyra are wearing, they either aren’t flattering or they all gained weight. I like Savanah’s hair more red, she stands out more that way.

IMO there’s only been a few rookies who’ve came in point ready over the years, there’s plenty of time for them to grow if they decide to stay. I didn’t think Mia was all that great her rookie year and then she became one of my favorite points. Alexis and Tara visually could rock it. 

Mia was SO BAD her first year!

Good point about the rookies growing into “point quality.”  I was recently re-watching Season 4 and had forgotten how boring Mia was her rookie year. That snippet of her performing her solo at Kitty’s - atrocious.

I suggested Gina for point because, while I can’t stand her attitude, she definitely commands attention.

Yes but nobody can stand her-or more accurately her face/facial expressions. She could be part of the triangle (although I wouldn't recommend it) but please, dont put ms.bitchface front and center. Put Yuko instead.

I could easily see Yuko being cut, especially if some Asian appearing women come to play.  The international girls served their purpose - get the DCC uniform in the Smithsonian.   I fear her time is over.  BTW she is still better than Savannah.

The problem with Gina and why I don't think she could ever be point is unfortunately she isn't "photogenic"... Gina is stunning and gorgeous for sure in reality, but she has the photogenic issue that many suffer from, it's almost down to science really. She has that frozen face when the picture is taken. Look at Savannah for example. I don't think she could ever take a bad picture, she is blessed by the camera. Take the time and look at the DCCofTheWeek photos on twitter. Look at the differences between Miranda and Savannah versus Gina. Again not trying to say Gina is ugly, she is gorgeous, and looks beautiful on video too...its just she isn't "photogenic" at all, I pretty sure I suffer from this same "frozen face" issue too. It sucks.

Agreed that Yuko is better than Savannah, but from what I understand, Yuko is a huge locker room favorite, the only way she's going is if she chooses to.  I wonder if it's possible that she's retiring this year.

Supposedly all of the rookies (except Alexandria and Kalyssa) are going to audition, but, like the veterans, who exactly will show up at Finals remains to be seen unless the girls themselves say something on social media.  Also, just because they show up to Finals does not mean that they'll make it to Training Camp.
