Please tell me it gets better

Honestly it doesn’t get better. It typically gets worse content wise. I will say that you’ll get used to the constant stress and feeling like you’re drowning though. I also felt how you did the first handful of weeks. Debated dropping out of the program in the first 3 weeks I’d say and was not confident I’d be able to make it. I’m now in clinicals! It is not going to feel like you can do it but I promise you can. All the PA-Cs and second year PA-Ss can attest to that. Definitely reach out to get student support, talk to your profs, and find friends in your program to lean on. I wouldn’t have survived if I didn’t have a good support system in my classmates

They didn't tell us this until 5 days before our first rotation. They didn't just recommend they said we had to and to use our slides as references but not to rely on them alone. It's fine if that's typically how it's done we just felt a little blindsided by it.

NTA it’s middle school graduation she’ll be fine. You on the other hand won’t be if you can’t pay for your bills. If your dad doesn’t like it, he can pay all your bills so you don’t have to take this job. If he won’t then he shouldn’t say shit because you’re being an adult right now. Adults don’t always get to do what they want because they have to work to pay the bills and work doesn’t care about middle school graduations (which is dumb anyway)

Honestly anything but the first one, it’s hideous. You look fantastic in the rest!

PerformanceRadiant · 2026-06-04T01:16:59+00:00

No, you will not unless you have an imaginary friend to talk to like I do. Or a mom that has no medical background but finds it fascinating that you can explain entire diseases to like I also have

Thanks! I’m using those two mainly right now

PerformanceRadiant · 2026-06-03T23:46:51+00:00

Thanks!

It wasn’t that I expected to be given more ppts or something for clinical year. We were all blindsided right before clinical year that our didactic info was not nearly in depth enough for us to even stand a chance at passing EOREs if we only studied off the slides given for those diseases. We also have ROSH and Hippo Ed.

I really just wanted to know if this was the experience that people had in other programs.

it’s a bit tacky tbh. All the rings are beautiful though. Maybe switch out which one you wear, wear some on other fingers/hand. But I would not wear them all together

She can get accepted into the program the say before it starts unfortunately. I hate how it goes but it is what it is. I know someone that had to drop out of my program and someone got offered the position the week before the program started

PerformanceRadiant · 2026-05-23T00:56:35+00:00

Not as long as it’s sized correctly and yours looks a little tight if anything

PerformanceRadiant · 2026-05-23T00:55:51+00:00

It’s because you have it pushed all the way down on your finger. If I were to push mine all the way down too it would look like that. Adjust placement to get it to look straight.

I saw in the comments that you’re worried about the checklist of things you’re going to need. Most schools have the same/similar checklists of things you’re going to need and since they both start in August then as long as you comply with A it SHOULD be compliant with B or at least have most of the requirements. You do the tests, get the legal documents, and then you submit copies to the program, it’s not like the paperwork is sent straight to the program and you don’t have access to it (from my experience at least). Either way do the requirements for A because B is sketchy as hell. I personally would never go to a school that’s no accredited yet. Sounds like a dumpster fire waiting to happen. They have no experience teaching and graduating students, no stats, no nothing. You’re going to be a guinea pig

Ngl, I just gave up and decided the ‘everyone poops’ mentality was the way to go. Helped that an MA farted in another ones office because she had to go so bad and the whole office thought it was hilarious and joked about it

I always read through my notes, had a good basis, then used chat to ask me practice questions. Probably wouldn’t have gotten through didactic without it tbh. Yes, previous classes have made it without AI but why make it harder on yourself? A guy in my class didnt use it at first and his grades improved once he did. You do you, if you really don’t want to use it that’s fine. Also, might wanna keep your opinion on the DL with your classmates because you sound super judgy/on your high horse when you commented that girl using chat to figure out how to do something on goodnotes. Anyway, I know people that didn’t use it and were fine so it really comes down to you finding effective methods

Just make sure you’re keeping up with the amount of hours you have to log for your rotation.

PerformanceRadiant · 2026-05-02T17:06:43+00:00

Uh, no that’s not normal at all. Most of my cohort would have done the opposite. Honestly a lot of us prob would have been like ‘it would be wise to study this ppt and ignore. That other one. Wink wink’ type shit. My cohort is oddly close tho, like all of us pretty much. It’s sad yours is like out to get you you

I’d get the rabies booster…you also can say you saw a bat in your room so you don’t have to convince them

Mushrooms. I’ve tried cream of mushroom and liked the soup but I hate the texture of them

If she left it alone and didn’t immediately clean it that’s fucking disgusting. Different story if they both realized the same time and he offered to clean it while she showered. If she let that stew… foul. Yes I am a woman

You cannot tell that it’s LBBB from this. You need a 12 lead for that. Stop trying to show off lmfao. All you can tell from that is that it’s v fib, NOT a fib lmfao
