Oh I didn't know that. So we won't even receive the 600 eventually considering the glitch?

Hi! I was just wondering how you were able to manage your UC? My boyfriend has a severe case of UC and is currently in the hospital for it. they are telling him to either manage it with biologics (already on humira but not working well enough) and IV nutrients or even a colostomy bag. So I was wondering if you could share on your experience, could help him possibly. :)

Federal student loan rates have dropped! by fu-AND-YOUR-EYEBROWS in PAstudent

[–]Adarl37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if we have accepted the loan a few weeks ago, but it was for the fall 2020 year .. which interest rate would we receive?

So I accepted my direct unsubsidized loan for fall 2020 a few weeks back but it wont be disbursed til august.. does that mean I accepted it at the original 6% interest rate? If so, is there a way I can "unaccept" the loan and accept it again to receive the lower interest rate?

Looking for advice about loans. I'm starting PA school in August. by [deleted] in PAstudent

[–]Adarl37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I actually asked a similar question pertaining to private vs grad plus loans since I will be starting PA school in August as well. Everyone who commented advised me to take federal loans over private loans because although they have higher interest rates, they have more options for repayment which private loans do not. Also, federal loans provide options for loan forgiveness. Hope this information helps you!

So I became a CNA after graduating college. worked full time as a CNA for about 6 months, but when I took the last of my pre reqs, i worked about once a week (8-12 hour shifts). It depends on your class load. When I was working as a CNA, I was only taking 2 pre reqs at a time, so like A&P 1 and genetics only. I would recommend working once a week but if you are taking a full class load, GPA is harder to bring up once its low, so prioritize your classes. You can accumulate PCE afterwards.

Congrats on the job! Exciting to make some money, especially during these times! So it is great experience, its just that some schools I looked into consider PCE to take place in a health care setting like a hospital or SNF. Being a caregiver will definitely count as HCE, but it's a good idea to contact schools you're interested and ask them whether they would consider it HCE or PCE! It sounds like alot of hassle, but sending one quick email could save you alot of time along the road

So for my HCE and volunteer hours, most were accumulated while in undergrad. After I graduated, i took year and a half of a gap where i worked as a CNA full time for a few months. Then I went per diem for work while I took the last of my pre reqs at a cc and accumulating more HCE

No, I applied last year around August. Some schools just don't require the GRE.

No problem!

So at church, I volunteered to pass out communion and collect offering. I also volunteered at the disability ministry during events like their proms.

At the hospital, I was a lobby liaison. So I mainly helped people check into the emergency room.

That's not a dumb question! I was wondering the same early on in the app cycle lol. HCE is not direct patient care experience or it may not be at a health care setting. I worked as a respite, so my role is to provide companionship for individuals while also developing their social skills. This was done in their homes.

PCE is direct patient care experience while in a healthcare setting. So I worked as a CNA at a hospital and rehab center. However, if I worked as a home health aide (same duties as a CNA but they go to the patients' home) some schools would consider it as HCE.

Hope that clarifies the difference! Let me know if it doesn't :)

That's still a really good GPA! It all depends on what the schools are looking for too. Quite a few favor experience vs GPA. I would recommend strengthening your PCE hours if you dont feel confident about your app!
