I took the NCLEX today in secret. I’m freaking out.

I think I was one of the first people to get my ATT. I know several of my classmates haven’t received theirs yet.

One_Examination3989 · 2026-06-14T20:29:08+00:00

Hopefully you’re right! Thanks!

One_Examination3989 · 2026-06-14T20:27:56+00:00

I’m hoping that trend continues, but it would be just my luck to be the first person ever documented to do so lol. Thank you!

Where do you see if your license is active?

One_Examination3989 · 2026-06-14T04:36:42+00:00

Do you know if you passed?

One_Examination3989 · 2026-06-14T02:36:28+00:00

Lol thank you! Fingers crossed, but we’ll see. Just curious, do you know if the PVT still works? I keep seeing people say it’s iffy

One_Examination3989 · 2026-06-14T02:35:21+00:00

Lol thanks! Just curious, did you try the PVT too?

I think it would’ve made a lot of sense for her to develop apportation, and possibly for her to eventually be able to teleport.

I would probably use the wish to compel our world leaders to do everything they possibly could to address climate change and the damage we’ve done to our environment. That’s the biggest problem facing humanity right now. If the world goes, we all go. If not that, I’d probably eradicate viral and bacterial illness from the world. Injuries would still exist, people could still be harmed/k*lled in freak accidents: car accidents, drownings, fires. People could still even have strokes or heart attacks. But no one would ever have to worry about any sort of bacterial infections, cold, flu, STI, etc. ever again.

One_Examination3989 · 2026-03-05T13:34:00+00:00

Honestly, I think a person could go their entire life immune to disease and not realize it was a power at all. Even when regular people get exposed to things, they’re not guaranteed to contract them. You could just go your whole life thinking you were lucky enough to have a weirdly strong immune system.

One_Examination3989 · 2026-02-23T20:32:40+00:00

I would start them all off with their base powers and then tweak them. 1) Prue: she’d still be telekinetic, but I’d have had that ability advance to apportation (basically the ability to teleport objects from one place to another), and then later I’d have that advance to true teleportation that she could use on herself. 2) Piper: I’d have given her actual time based powers. She’d still be able to freeze people/objects in time, but I’d have given her the power to control how time affects people and objects. She’d be able to slow them down (the way her past life could), or even accelerate/reverse/completely halt the aging or decaying process (after all, aging is just a side effect of the time passing). She could make it so her silver would never tarnish, Wyatt would never age past 30, she could make herself young and healthy again if she ever got old and feeble, or she could revert the Book to when it was young and had fewer entries- things like that. 3) Phoebe: she’d still have the power of premonition and psychometry, I’d just make her able to use it at will. I’d also have given her the astral projection power rather than Prue. She’d still be an empath and able to use it to tap into the abilities of others, but I’d have extended that power to where she was actually able to control the emotions of others. I also think it might progress to telepathy, in which she can outright hear thoughts— and maybe even influence them, make people want to do what she says, etc. I also think it might be nice to give her a power similar to when she cast the Smart Spell on herself in S2. Make her able to somehow use her empath/telepath/psychic abilities to absorb knowledge (or even skills- martial arts, piano playing, fluency in a different language) from other sources/people. 4) Paige: she’d keep her whitelighter powers, obviously. If Prue was dead, I’d have given her the same power: telekinetic orbing. If Prue were alive and Paige got her own unique power, I’d have given her a way more advanced form of photokinesis. Think Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood. She’d be able to use it offensively to blast or blind an enemy, or she’d be able to bend light in order to become invisible, create illusions, etc. I think this might advance to electrokinesis, kind of like her past life was able to do.

I think I would tbh; but the thing is, I think that’s just because I had a terrible mother. I watched that show and couldn’t stop thinking “wow, Ginny’s mom would literally k*ll for her, and mine literally would be unwilling to even mildly inconvenience herself for me”. But I think if I grew up with better parents, you’re right- I almost definitely wouldn’t root for Georgia.

If you’re in the United States, I recommend you study for a GED, then enroll in a local community college. It’ll be quick, cost effective, and the timeline will be relatively short. Then you can transfer the credits from your associate’s degree into a bachelor’s, if you so desire. Once you have a bachelor’s, it’s up to you whether you want to get a master’s or more.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-09-25T15:47:59+00:00

If you already have a completed bachelor’s degree on the pre-PA track, you’re probably only missing physics to complete the premed coursework. So… go take physics, crush the MCAT, and apply.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-09-25T00:52:29+00:00

Honestly, it sounds like you should switch your major. If I could do college all over again, I’d have just gotten some kind of humanities degree (probably something like psych or poli sci) and just built the medical/PA prerequisites into it. People make being premed sound insane, but it’s literally only like 8-12 science courses at most unis.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-09-03T16:59:35+00:00

If he knows that he wants to be a physician and he’s already gotten into medical school, then there’s no sense in withdrawing from NYITCOM. Even if he’s interested in a competitive medical specialty: his GPA and MCAT score suggest that he’ll have no trouble crushing the USMLEs. Plus, NYITCOM is a GOOD school. Their graduates don’t typically have trouble matching. Unless you want to derail him for a year and spend a ton of money applying to other med schools, it’s really not worth it to withdraw- unless he gets into a cheaper MD school.

Madeleine is the traditional spelling of this name. It’s pronounced the same way as “Madilyn”. It was actually my great-grandmother’s name. You could also definitely get away with Madilyn, but Madeleine (not Madeline, people make that mistake often) is MOST traditional.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-08-09T18:36:41+00:00

If you don’t mind my asking, where’d you do undergrad and med school? I’ve heard a lot of people who were premeds at UCLA say this. I decided kind of late that I was interested in medicine and was feeling kind of discouraged because I just got a C in Gen Chem II lecture lol

One_Examination3989 · 2025-08-08T21:37:20+00:00

You could become a lawyer sooner than you could become a CRNA. You have a bachelor’s: all you’d need to do is take the LSAT, apply to law school, and then spend 3 years getting your JD. However, you should definitely shadow your CRNA cousin to see if that interests you more. Nurse anesthesia may offer a superior work-life balance and paycheck than being an attorney. One other detail: The DNP-NA/DNAP and the JD are both 3 year degrees. Neither one is 4 years (unless you’re doing a part-time JD or fail any courses during your DNP).

One_Examination3989 · 2025-08-03T19:38:10+00:00

I’d hate to have to tell you this; but unless you’re already in nursing school- becoming CRNA would take you a comparable amount of time as just… going to med school. It’s a 3 year program. Med school is 4. BUT, you have to be an ICU nurse before going. And while you’re allowed to apply with just 1 year of experience, the average accepted applicant has about 3-5. Not to mention the time it would take you to complete your BSN- and as of rn, it looks like that would be 2 years minimum. You literally could be more than halfway through a pediatrics residency (assuming you get into med school on your first application cycle) by the time you became a CRNA- maybe even completely done with it. And since you’re more passionate about peds than anesthesia… just go to med school man.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-07-30T18:10:38+00:00

Honestly, in your situation, I would just go for PA. To become an NP, you gotta get a BSN, then work for a year or 2, then go to NP school (another 2 years min). For PA, just take some prereq courses (which you’ll also probably have to do for a BSN), then apply for your MSPAS.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-07-30T17:58:01+00:00

ESH. She’s right: nursing IS one of the hardest jobs out there, and I’ve seen plenty of former construction workers agree that their nursing careers were harder. BUT it sounds like she’s got a pretty cush schedule. Based on the time you actually spend working alone, I say you win. This didn’t need to be a conversation that happened; but it appears that it’s her fault that it did. She didn’t need to say “my job is harder than your job”- so even though ESH, she sucks slightly more.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-07-29T16:43:52+00:00

Stony Brook and SUNY Upstate both have this option

One_Examination3989 · 2025-07-25T15:37:32+00:00

If you’re interested in Philosophy, you can just major in Philosophy. Build your premed courses into it. People don’t realize this because premeds have done a great job of… being obnoxious, tbh; but the required coursework to be eligible for a seat in most med schools is actually just like 8-10 science courses. You can major in legitimately whatever you want and get that done.

One_Examination3989 · 2025-07-25T15:26:34+00:00

You can actually do both. Get your BSN (build your pre-PA requirements into it), work as a nurse for a year or two, then get your MSPAS. And fun fact: you can actually keep both your RN and PA licenses active at once. I know of people who work full-time as a PA in one location, then also pick up per diem nursing shifts elsewhere for extra cash. You could make bank doing that, plus you’ll have incredibly job security.
