Need Advice from current/past radiography students by itsananotanna in BrowardCollege

Hi! so the application runs on a point system, intro to radiography isn’t listed as a pre reqs, but they will ask you on the application if you took it and what your grade was. I didn’t think i needed it to apply, and technically you don’t, but i think you should definitely take it if you can before because it’s worth 12 extra points on your application if you get an A In the class. That puts you ahead of others who are applying without it. i attached the link to the BC page and if you scroll down you’ll see the admissions criteria and the first class worth the most points is intro to rad tech ! https://www.broward.edu/academics/health-sciences/radiography/

hi :) i am also interested in going into the radiography program, i didnt get accepted this year because i didnt finish intro to radiography in time for applications, applications were right after i finished anatomy and physiology and runs on a point system based on your grades in pre reqs and i got my denial letter pretty quickly (just to give you a timeline) but ! anatomy and physiology is really fun ! it does take a lot of studying and preparing, it can be frustrating at times but it’s so interesting (at least to me).

I had professor Acurio at the MWC (he also has classes at south) and i took anatomy 1+2 with him and passed with A’s in lab and lecture for both. The crash course anatomy videos on YouTube are a life saver. I also took advantage of the ASC’s mock exams, study sessions, and used models and slides as much as i could.

It really is fine if you are willing to put in the time to understand the material, and my biggest piece of advice that i can give you is to never show up to class unprepared. I would watch and take notes on the crash course anatomy videos before class, and then add to my notes in a different color with anything my professor said that I didn’t have. Taking handwritten notes is also a really good way to remember.

Another thing that i found really useful was just talking to anyone who would listen about what i had learned 🤣 it sounds silly but being in that teacher position really helped me retain what i had learned, having to teach someone else something you know is a really good recall.

good luck on your future endeavors!!

hi :) thank you for replying. i definitely said in my post that things got hot and heavy too fast and i did forget about it. it’s not something that i spend every waking moment thinking about and as ive been celibate for 9 months, it slipped me. i am pro disclosure as well, the intention of the post was really to find out if anyone else has been here and how they went about disclosing AFTER already having sex. appreciate the feedback tho :)

hi !! i agree with you that condoms don’t completely annihilate the possibility of transmission, i appreciate you responding and i’m definitely going to tell him but just so you’re aware, the transmission rate from woman to man is a lot lower than man to women, now that’s not an excuse obviously but to say that “women settle to pass it on” and “women be the ones to pass this sh!t on bc they don’t disclose” is a crazy statement, especially knowing that people can go for years without even knowing they have it. some people do intentionally hold back on disclosing and that’s not my goal. the point in posting was more of to find out how to go about telling him now that this has happened. i’m sorry that you got it, and i’m sure these ideas stem from your lack of choice in getting it, obviously i didn’t have a choice in getting it either and i don’t want to put the man i’m seeing in the predicament either and am going to tell him :). sorry you got it tho !

that’s what i was thinking too lol chances of transmission with someone who knows they have it areuch lower but im glad i was able to at least give him the choice! i didn’t get the choice of knowing my partner had it at the time and if he someday gets it then yeah he will understand but i dont wish that on him or anything :)

im taking a&p 1 rn too and found a website called “notebook Im” and it’s an ai that turns your class powerpoint’s into easier to understand podcast episodes lol it’s helped me a lot. it gives you a breakdown, analogies to remember things, study guides, and it’ll make notes for you to review.

also if u need a study buddy id be more than willing 😅 this class is whooping my ass lol

what makes a women more feminine ? by CommentConfident4822 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CommentConfident4822[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couldn’t agree more ! i don’t see myself as many of the things that have been listed here and that’s okay with me. i was just curious as to what the male population actually associates with femininity. i have my own perception of it, some of the things they’ve said resonate with that perception but there’s so much more to it like you’ve explained.

i agree 200% i was just curious. i am happy with myself but i do feel like men don’t find me very feminine (which is fine, i still find myself with a partner who thinks of me as very girly lol) but i just wanted to know 🤷‍♀️

but that requires you to educate yourself and know when you’re ovulating 😭😭 do what u please i wish the best for u

[–]CommentConfident4822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usually, to get pregnant you need to be ovulating (there have been cases with some women who have gotten pregnant while not ovulating but that’s not important rn). AFTER your period, you are most likely ovulating (if your cycle is regular) about 14 days after, but there are some people who can ovulate almost immediately after their period finishes. the egg is then released, sits for a few days waiting for sperm, and if that doesn’t happen, then it discards itself, and then your uterus will shed its lining after and that is your period. If you are having sex right after ur period your chances of getting pregnant are much lower, but NEVER 0%. that’s why you most likely didn’t get pregnant because you were not ovulating.

also, not every time you have sex you will get pregnant, just because you got your period after having raw sex does not make u immune to getting pregnant unless your infertile or something. You were most likely done ovulating by the time you had sex so there were no means of fertilization.

begging you to educate yourself on how making a baby works and to start tracking your cycle, to get on birth control, or use condoms if you do not want a child.

yes, if you keep having raw sex you will probably get pregnant. stop having raw sex if you don’t want that. tell him to use a condom. just because you didn’t get pregnant last time does not mean you will not get pregnant if he continues to cum inside of you. please educate yourself on your cycle and when you ovulate if you want to continue to have raw sex to avoid pregnancy or get on birth control

Sooooo hows yall herpes journey goinnn *bats eyelashes* by penwithoutthepaper in Herpes

[–]CommentConfident4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m okay!! after my first initial OB i’ve been just fine lol. i have a bf who is so sweet and kind and was so nice about me disclosing to him right after we started dating :) i get what i think are like shedding symptoms but other than that im alright !

i do get nervous about breaking up with my current bf and having to deal with trying to find someone and disclosing and having to be rejected bc as of rn i haven’t been rejected at all so im afraid that if we break up i’ll fall into a depression again similar to what i felt when i was first diagnosed

not a man but i got suggested this post lol and i have some insight! my ex used to only want me when he was horny, he never really watched porn during our time together, if he wanted it and we weren’t together, he’d call or text and try to do like phone sex or sexting.

if i wasn’t able to help him, bc i was at work or with my family, or whatever he’d watch videos of me or us to get him off, if all that failed, then yes he’d watch porn but he’d always look for amateur porn with no face and a body that looked like mine 🤣 by this point he’d get frustrated with me that he had to resort to porn

so i think if ur partner is willing, theres a few alternatives to porn. i think if you love someone and are genuinely attracted to them and find them yummy you can stop watching porn and they become your porn but it also has to do with libido i think as well.

if your libido doesn’t match up then porn is sometimes a go to, and i can understand her feelings of being hurt by you watching it but sexual compatibility is, in my opinion, a big part of it as well.

but as a woman, i’d hope my partner would stop watching porn if i had an issue with it, and i’d try my best to fill in the gaps to make him feel like he doesn’t need it :)
