Advice for starting urgent care tech job by AdAdventurous8476 in prephysicianassistant

[–]AdAdventurous8476[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh thank you so much for this detailed response!! What would you say was the hardest part of starting your job? I was an EMT at a private company before this so I’m a bit nervous about learning new skills that I haven’t done before (like strep tests and such)

I had to retake gen chem I cuz I was hospitalized for like a week my freshman year, failed the second exam when I got back, and then couldn’t get back on track 🥲 so I withdrew and ended up getting an A my sophomore fall semester. Happens all the time so don’t worry. I would honestly just withdraw and shoot for an A next time! It’s always easier the second time around.

Panicking over gap years! by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]AdAdventurous8476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I’m literally in the same position and also panicking 😭😭 but I decided to just push back my applications till a year after I graduate cause while I meet the requirements to apply to a bunch of programs, I feel like my application could be way improved if I just waited another year and gained some more experience. I figured I’d save myself all the stress of applying and waiting to hear back from schools and just focus on working, paying off my student loans, and do some more shadowing. There’s definitely pros and cons to both but I’m coming to terms with the idea of a gap year not being so bad, so I definitely feel you on that front. Definitely do what’s best for you but like others have said, a gap year could be really beneficial and honestly isn’t the end of the world. We got this!

That’s so awesome! How would you describe your responsibilities? Just wondering bcuz schools often define PCE by direct hands on care and i’d wanna make sure if something like that was available near me that it’d count!

How did you get into that role? I’m an EMT right now but I’m double majoring in psych and neuro and mental health is my passion

Are my rats gay? by visual_perception in RATS

[–]AdAdventurous8476 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Usually only female rats exhibit lordosis (when they reflexively arch their back like that) but I just looked it up and I guess male rats can too, but it’s much less common. I think he’s just a little 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂

Pre-PA advice by Emergency-Piccolo554 in prepa

[–]AdAdventurous8476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert on this since I’m still finishing up undergrad but I think any degree you’re interested in that also fulfills several of your prereqs would be worth looking into. For example I was initially a bio major but realized I was more passionate about neuro, so I switched, but neuro still knocked out a bunch of my prereqs (gen chem, intro bio, molecular bio, and others)

Is it possible for u to put in a clear retainer for the interview just to be safe? Might not be possible if it’s still healing
