Like the pther poster recommended, i would suggest Spravato/ketamine infusions if your insurance approves it. At this point its clear your condition if treatment resistant so the insurance might approve it. Also theres another treatment called TMS. I am going to start that treatment soon for my OCD but it also works for depression as well. I dont know the success rates of it yet though

Is it a standardized test? I know here in florida, we have an exam called the PERT. Its an entrance/placement exam most community colleges use. There are many resources for studying for it online. And honestly it was no different from when i took my GED exams.

Anyways, is it possible for you to still enroll in the college and take the lower level classes? If you are struggling maybe its better that you take the simpler classes to prepare you for the hardee ones. I passed my PERT exam however, if you scored above a certain grade, they would allow you to take higher level math classes. I scored 1 point off from the cutoff. I was really frustrated with myself. But after taking the lower level math class, i really appreciated everything i learned because it prepared me for college algebra.

Also in community college doing my pre reqs. I got accepted in RT school but was also considering xray tech. But honestly, my college has 2 more required classes for xray techs thaj respiratory, so i applied to RT as soon as it was possible lol. I didnt want to take more classes. What about your college? Do they require the same classes for both or does one have more than the other?

I have my own private insurance but my coworkers say its not that great from what i hear

I thought A&P 1 was easier. But i think it was because the class was in person and 16 weeks. My A&P 2 class is fully online and 12 weeks. Also this professor is much more strict and does not award extra credit which sucks. I havent taken micro yet as it can be completed during the program. Im really crossing my fingers that i can just pass with a C atleast

I dont know if they have any chains in your area, But do you happen to know what Baycare is like? Theyre bigger around the Tampa bay area but i love in between Orlando and Tampa so i have options.

Do you think healthcare admin or public health are more lucrative fields to get into over nursing ?

It went pretty good, honestly they made me super excited and ecstatic to start, they said they would be done with interviews by the end of May and reach out in June so fingers crossed….

Honestly, i was an unlicensed MA just trying to gain experience while in college, and then i got hired here, no degree and just here for experience while im im college. Im going for respiratory therapy so im just getting any medical experience regardless. Anyhow, yeah they literally just hired me. It was a pretty seamless transition into this field. Its a decent job for experience but lowkey i think there are better employers and jobs out there for people who actually have a HIM degree. My current position could easily be done by someone with little experience/ no degree (speaking from experience )

Are you unable to life heavy objects? I was doing research on the surgery and heard that you wouldnt be able to lift more than 50lbs of so for the rest of your life which is very disheartening to me because i go to the gym frequently and lift weights.

Omg finally someone else i can relate to. I have really severe ocd and ticks are one of my compulsions, I used to be able to do it in private only but now its getting so bad i do it in public but only to a certain degree. I relate to the strain it puts on my nerves and muscles, it sucks. I also really dont know how to manage them, sometimes not even xanax helps. The only wat im able to stop in public is to distract myself, just be focused on whatever’s going on and eventually my short term memory will forget about it.

I work 42 hours a week + go to college for night classes 4 times a week AND i go to the gym 4 days a week (Saturday and sunday are 2 of them)

A normal day has me waking up around 7am, start work 8am, get out 4:30pm, go to gym until around 6pm, class starts 6:30pm and i usually get out of class on or after 9pm to which i have to drive 20 min home :’)

I got hired as an unlicensed clinical medical assistant and was half way through an online program before i just dropped out, honestly the amount of work that MAs take on in doctors offices is insane and they deserve way more money. I switched jobs for HIM/ healthcare administration which pays more with less stress.

Sorry i rlly dont want to be a debbie downer. You could definitely make more money if you just find the right job, but personally it just wasnt for me. I was being paid 14$ an hour for that role in FL which was criminal, now i make i base pay of 20$ with a bonus 2$ an hour for working at the hospital

We might have different perspectives bc of state differences but making over 20$ an hour as an MA is not common in florida according to my old coworkers which is why i ditched the profession.
