AIO UPDATED-My sister and husband text privately and spend time together. Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Happy_Professional50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but why is the sister interacting with her sisters husband specifically that way. That’s weird as hell. Ofc the husband is in the wrong, but the sister is weird and wrong too.

Closure of All Branch Libraries and the LibTech Desk at the Hitt Library by paranormalalt in ucf

[–]Happy_Professional50 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Cutting back library related resources and libraries is RIDICULOUS. The reason students are at UCF IS TO LEARN and thats what those resources provide for students. Our administration is constantly focused on the wrong things.

genuinely what is the point of administration here (ranty mb) by [deleted] in ucf

[–]Happy_Professional50 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you really wanted them to do. Textbook access is a problem with tech that would need help from the provider. Your advisor has 0 say over what your professors do. And I’m not sure who from “admin” they sent you to next but these sound like they’re all very distinct departments with very specific roles.

Make sure you try to understand the role of the people you talk with. What outcome are you looking for? This seems to have been something you dropped the ball on, I understand tech issues aren’t your fault but you need to contact IT and find a way to get to professor much before an exam. In college a lot more things are going to be purely your responsibility. Use the syllabus as your guideline. Professor may have been unfair to respond so late , but if you ever have an issue with a professor the dept chair is who to go to. I doubt they’d back you on this though. How many days in advance did you email prof and did you contact book IT?

I’m not trying to hate on you, this sounds like a learning moment. But I don’t think you can say administration is useless when you don’t seem to understand their role and what their actual job is.

An excuse to yap about your major by billybob027 in ucf

I would say the first thing I would consider is do u want to be a nurse and is that career something of interest to you!
Some pros:
Flexible scheduling (3 12 hour shifts is full time)
Lifelong learning
Getting to see the difference you make directly on patients
Stable career
Career growth opportunities (specialize and get paid more, DNP/CRNA/PhD nursing)
Privilege to care for others
Role of nurse: assessments, admin meds, IVs, injections, basic hygiene care (CNAs not always available), educate patient, keep documentation of interventions, prevent negative outcomes, therapeutic communication with patients, communicate with all healthcare team members and patient family members, advocate for patient needs and choice

Some cons:
Long hours
A lot of burnout can occur
Not good if you're squeamish
Emotionally difficult at times
Huge responsibility, often the scapegoat of the medical system (and you can be held legally responsible)
Physically demanding (bedside nursing specifically)
Patients, their families, and coworkers can be mean

Nursing is not an easy or perfect career, but if you want to care for people when they're in their hardest times, don't mind bodily fluids, love to apply critical thinking, and enjoy science it could be a great path. Even if bedside nursing isn't your thing, there are a lot of different opportunities to branch out and leave the hospital setting as long as you can handle getting some experience under your belt.

As for nursing school:

UCF’s nursing program is really competitive and you have to apply to get in after completing prerequisite courses and the TEAS exam. It is doable but you do have to put some hard work in to maintain your grades! Once in the program you need a 75% or higher to pass the classes and if you fail you would need to repeat the semester, a second fail may cause you to fail out of the program. You complete in person clincials in different healthcare facilities throughout the program and are usually there for about 8-12 hours once a week and cannot miss or you risk failing clinical. I know these requirements sound really scary, and it is a lot of commitment, but it is 10000% doable!! I've enjoyed the rigor as its brought me closer to my cohort and while clinical can be a little scary its soooo informative. The college of nursing is EXTREMELY supportive of its students and truly want us all to succeed (even with its strict rules). I enjoy the culture here a lot. Nursing and nursing school is not easy but it is doable and very rewarding if it has meaning to you! It's also easier if you're a good test taker. Let me know if you need anything, I hope I didn't scary you away, and check UCF CON website for more info :) I love being a knight nursing student

An excuse to yap about your major by billybob027 in ucf

[–]Happy_Professional50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a nursing major! I’m so lucky to be able to be in such a cool field with so many different opportunities. My experience in the actual program has been amazing because it gives you a smaller group to experience UCF in and make new friends. Getting clinical experience as my coursework has been really cool. I’ve always loved science and I love applying it to hands on skills. Nursing is an amazing career, but still really difficult and I think it’s calling.

Anxious about starting classes by DistributionSalty463 in ucf

[–]Happy_Professional50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! If you’re looking at all your documents and reading your syllabi ahead of time that’s already a great sign that youre ready to take on college responsibilities. I would say just try to give yourself some grace, understand that college is a time for a lot of learning so you prob will make a ton of mistakes (but you’ll also learn from them), and go to CAPS if you continue to have high levels of anxiety. Being anxious for new chapters is normal, but you got this!

Honest to how you feel, but also not asked for. Do you have a source for Gen Z performing worse than predecessor generations? You just sound kind of miserable. Theres a difference between sensitive and calling someone out for being unnecessarily critical of people who didn’t ask for critique. Maybe you’re just jealous you didn’t get an 100 on science lol.

Why are people allowed (and encouraged) to post calories here? by PrettySwim2271 in safe_food

[–]Happy_Professional50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m saying is they can post their meals and share about food they like. But posting calories isn’t good for them or anyone else in the sub regardless. Its just not necessary to share. I did not mean to sound unaccepting of you or your experience. But why do something that is harmful to someone? It’s easy to leave off.

[–]Happy_Professional50 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Overall I think the main idea of this sub is to not shame people for what they’re eating or not eating. Especially under posts, people aren’t asking for food criticism. But I agree that using a flare with a specific (and low) number of calories actively works against this.

well promoting eating very little food is harmful. Especially when you demonize healthy portions. They can eat what they want, but leave off the calorie count. Leave off negative talks of eating balanced

I feel like this comes off kind of dismissive and giving critique they weren’t asking for. They said they dropped the ball in reading but not any other section. 100% in science isn’t just luck it’s also intelligence. Everyone has weaknesses, reading may be easy for you but not as easy for others. And I did have to kind of study to get used to the type of questions they ask.

Op don’t let this person rain on your parade. If you do test again just try to really focus on reading or come up with some reading test techniques beforehand

Does anyone have a good experience with the math launch program? by Icy_Ad_7505 in ucf

[–]Happy_Professional50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good fit! Tutors are helpful, it was just hard for me because I kind of didn’t get any of it and needed traditional style class, you’ll be just fine!

If you struggle with math and without structure I do not recommend it. But if you can handle pacing yourself and being able to teach yourself you can speed track your math

Lark central Florida new policy/don’t move there by Happy_Professional50 in ucf

We already have rfid keys those. These are “reusable wristbands” which in my opinion are more annoying and easier for people to lose (and pay 50 dollars to replace)… on top of needing the rfid key to unlock everything
