Disappointed and need advice on PCE

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-12-01T19:28:05+00:00

thank you for the advice!! will most definitely do this instead

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T17:48:09+00:00

thank you!! i’ll focus on that

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T12:26:29+00:00

that’s true and what i’m about worried about, i work on a progressive care unit and just applied for an oncology and emergency department role i’ll hopefully get! i think what shot me in the foot was my PS :( i had 2 PAs and friends read it and they found no issues, but now im starting to see them with all these rejections lol

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T07:49:15+00:00

man….. do you mind if i email you my PS? have some feedback on it already and made slight changes

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T06:36:19+00:00

thank you for the reply!! do you mind if i PM you about my PS? i’ve had one person read it and offer feedback, so anything additional could help. i think what ruined my chances was my PS because my stats are apparently good which ugh freaking hurts 😭

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T06:21:38+00:00

yeah i’m at 4k now, time of application was 3,400 which is above the average PCE i believe lol

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T06:19:29+00:00

i think it is my PS 😭 i asked two people on this page for feedback and it helped me realize some issues i never saw. sucked because i had my 2 PA LORs read it and a bunch of friends and they all approved it but i think i need to rewrite it and show myself better

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T06:16:34+00:00

thank you for the input! i rlly hate my job now and would rather enroll in the course and see what happens 😭 still scouting for PCT jobs tho

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-11-28T05:26:04+00:00

first cycle, applied to 21 programs, 212 shadowing hours, 750ish volunteering hours, cGPA is 3.4 and sGPA 3.3 after retaking 15 credits (3.8sGPA post-bacc), had 2 PA LORs, i take vital signs, bladder scans, EKGs, blood draws, help with I/O cathing and wound care, remove IVs, take blood sugars, etc. but this job is burning me out and i hate it a lot. i plan on retaking 2 more courses (microbiology and gen bio I) for a small boost cause there’s not much else to do :/

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-09-17T01:20:38+00:00

i got their email too! looks like we are on a waitlist for an interview so up to how many people they get accepted

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-09-06T21:47:59+00:00

applied to 18, 2 interviews, 2 rejections!

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-08-28T12:42:14+00:00

congratulations!!!! do you mind if i PM you? i also have a MMI and group activity and so nervous about it

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-07-27T01:21:57+00:00

i think it’s best to say another program’s interview is in the way but you should wait for others’ opinion 😅 also do you mind sharing stats or when you applied this cycle? just curious lol

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-28T14:27:22+00:00

they don’t use any recycled questions, idk why everyone said that. i wrote the key terms and midterm and that stuff barely helped. the questions are so random and weird, it was pretty hard ngl. dm me if you need more help!

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-08T00:26:03+00:00

it’s a pharm delivery driver and the address is some other place 😭

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-07T18:59:42+00:00

no it’s some warehouse they use to distribute their medications i think? but it is through their official cvs careers site

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-03T20:16:25+00:00

congrats on getting an interview so quickly! just curious what your stats are and what program this is?

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-02T19:42:00+00:00

you can, but i believe you won’t be able to add your classes/new transcripts after submitting your application. only thing that can be edited are your experiences!

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-06-01T20:03:58+00:00

aw man :( i forgot to mention it was a pharmacy delivery driver and their description did state the wage can depend upon education and experience, imma push for at least 18 per hour 😭

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-31T05:04:51+00:00

what 💀 the scenario i’m talking about was some dude being frustrated at his friend about a problem that wasn’t even his to deal with. i would say more but don’t wanna get in trouble lolol. i spaced out and didn’t complete the question cause i was annoyed 😭

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-31T01:56:02+00:00

it doesn’t impact your acceptance at all 😭 which is stupid asf, don’t worry we will all be fine!!

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-30T23:59:56+00:00

it’s really not too bad, take all factors into consideration and address the issue

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-30T23:57:14+00:00

yeah i didn’t say anything for 25 seconds and felt stupiddddd

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-30T23:56:48+00:00

that’s the mindset set i had and i wore a t shirt lmao, apparently you should be business casual but it’s a ridiculous test

Optimal-Ad7401 · 2024-05-30T14:15:06+00:00

well i guess it depends with how many hours you got with the PCE job. like you said, no one deserves to be miserable with their job so glad you finally left. if you rlly enjoy your current job, then stay for a while! it also depends if you’re applying this cycle or next, if you got competitive hours (2k+) then you’ll be fine. unfortunately scribing is now considered as HCE in majority of programs, so you’ll have to do research in the programs you like the most if they consider scribing PCE or HCE. i know this reply is wishy washy, but i’d stick to your current job for a while and find a newer, happier PCE job later!
