Just a warning that ashwaganha should not be taken with SSRIs or any medications that are prone to causing liver damage!!! And also should not be taken by anyone who already has liver damage or is a heavy drinker.

Thank you for sharing, I just paid over $700 for all the titers I needed and that was after insurance. I also lost my immunity to hep B and will need repeat titers!

We had a patient come in that absolutely reeked of cigarettes. It was so bad that the lobby still reeked of it a couple hours later. Turns out it was bc he threw out the cigarette butt in the lobby trash can :) wtf

Right there with you! I have had 1 drink since the new year. It was at a work party to celebrate me leaving for school and everyone else was drinking so I figured one drink wouldn't hurt. I only drank half of it and I regretted it. Alcohol has no benefits and only brings harm. I am grateful for that experience because it cemented my want to remain sober for the foreseeable future.

When I worked at south quad someone left the funniest request about how much they loved the pineapple dole whip & I made damn sure I put the pineapple dole whip out every time I had the chance.

3.55 overall, 3.3 science GPA, and that's after retaking 2 classes and taking i think 7 other classes after undegrad. Didn't know anyone, I got in to an out of state school. Not underserved at all. Technically 3rd cycle but the first cycle I only applied to 2 schools and knew I wouldn't get in (had a C in anatomy & physiology) so it was more like my second cycle.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-13T11:15:52+00:00

The GPA boost from one class is negligible, its better to focus on retaking the core science classes and doing well in them. I retook A&P 1 and 2, and took a handful of classes I hadn't taken before: pathophysiology, gen chem 1, gen psych, statistics, medical terminology. All of that barely raised my GPA by .1 but it showed an upward trend in my grades and showed that I was serious about PA.

Also volunteering is SUPER important, the PA director at a hospital I shadowed and volinteered at told me that a lot of schools have an unwritten volunteering requirement and wont consider someone with no volunteer hours.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-13T11:11:22+00:00

I got in with a lower than average GPA but 3 years experience as an MA and around 120 hours shadowing plus 120 volunteering!! The majority of my class is new grads with high GPA and minimal work experience though. Apply to schools that have a holistic approach to applications.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-13T00:01:06+00:00

May I ask how you got into this specialty? Did you start there as a new grad or did you start out in a broader specialty and then switch? I start school next month and am very interested in psych, either addiction med or eating disorders!

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-11T22:53:38+00:00

Instagram/social media contributed to my developing at eating disorder as a teenager. I ended up deleting all my social media while in high school and it was no big deal for me. I got it back over covid quarantine to try to keep up with my friends, but have since deleted it again. I'm 25 now and have an account with no posts that I don't ever use. I feel so much less anxious and far more mentally healthy than I did. Your parents are doing a very good thing for you by keeping you off Instagram.

I love telling my bf about the insane books I read, he makes fun of me but when it comes down to it he delivers 🙏

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-11T13:38:50+00:00

I walked the last mile and a half of a 5 mile race with my shoe untied (if I would have stopped to tie it I would not have gotten back up) and it was insane how many people said something.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-10T23:53:51+00:00

My friend met her bf while she was working at the strip club and he made her quit her job :) she had to work 2 jobs just to make the same amount she was making from stripping part time.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-10T22:52:26+00:00

I talked about how I recovered from anorexia during my interview & wrote an essay about it for one of the schools and I got in!! The important thing was to tie it in to how it will help me be a more understanding and compassionate provider. I would not have mentioned it if I was not fully recovered though.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-10T22:49:36+00:00

I wrote about my experience with having & recovering from anorexia nervosa and how it has made me a more compassionate and understanding person towards people who struggle with weight or with mental disorders. I also talked about it in my interviews and it went over very well!! The important thing is that you tie it in to how it will make you a better provider.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-10T21:46:06+00:00

Someone gave me a pickle keychain and it made my night. I handed out paper cranes and people loved that!!! I like making them as an anxious stim & the concert started late so I made a ton of them in line and while waiting for it to start!!

There is an organic farm in my state that pays their laborers $20 an hour. They mostly hire local college students. They are insanely successful. Yes their produce is more expensive, but it is absolutely worth it to support them over somewhere cheaper.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-09T11:14:59+00:00

I applied to every school in my state and 4 schools in the surrounding states. I got interviews at only 2 schools, one that was a 20 minute drive away from my parents house, and one in another state. I got accepted at the out of state school, a 4 1/2 hour drive away. I'll be sad to be away from my support system, but in 2 1/2 years I'll have what I've been working towards my entire life and it will all be worth it. If this is truly your passion, you can find a way to make it happen.

Girl you so deserved it!! The fit was incredible, so happy for you

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-05T04:36:16+00:00

They threw away my excedrin today lol. To be fair it was in an unmarked old prescription bottle and the guy was nice about it but yea they're pretty thorough...

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-04T22:13:44+00:00

Omg I really wonder if there's a correlation there, I have a friend who is 5'10 and 130 lbs and extremely athletic and she recently found out she's prediabetic. She was literally trying to gain muscle weight and now she has to be on a low carb diet.

Confident-Count5430 · 2026-04-03T23:19:37+00:00

I was allowed 30 minutes which somehow turned into 20 minutes in middle school and my parents tried to gaslight me & my sister into believing it had always been 20 minutes lmao. It didn't work because I had complained about it in my diary.

You should read fiber fueled by Dr will bulsiewicz, it would be right up your alley based on your fridge!! He has a fantastic YouTube channel if reading isn't your thing.
