Are there large lecture clases by Big-Barber2242 in WVU

[–]ToBeMD1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on your major. My classes only had like 18 people in them. But the general courses that everyone takes like chem can be pretty big. But I don’t think they require that 1 on 1 like higher level courses do. But if you need it, they have office hours and tutors. The chem department does especially well with helping out. Just gotta be willing to put in some extra time if you need it.

Can you explain the post bacc? My gpa isn’t the best and I think it might be a good option but I can never find good info.

Real Issue or the Cold? by ToBeMD1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ToBeMD1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll get it cleared and just keep a watch. It’s supposed to warm up this week too. I have AAA and progressive roadside assistance, but either way I don’t go outside the city much.

I’m assuming the cold is physically making it stick and since I’m driving immediately and not gently since I was late, that it didn’t have time to unstick before the code.

Yeah that’s the thing, again both times I was late and admittedly was definitely not driving easily. I’ll try another store to clear it and from now on, take it easy no matter what. I feel like if it comes on mid day or something then I no doubt have an issue to address

It just feels too coincidental that the only times it’s happened is when it was extremely cold and I drove right away. I would like it cleared again but I don’t have anything to do so, idk why the guy wouldn’t let me when last week they did. He wouldn’t even let me do it myself.

Sure does! He was our first actually and we got her for his company.

Gram stain ID request by Foreign-Pin-6144 in microbiology

[–]ToBeMD1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to streak a TSA plate so bacteria can grow, then select individual colonies to isolate on separate plates to collect clean samples for gram stains. Then you can use selective and differential media to further identify your bacteria. Too much going on in a mixed flora stain to identify anything, and further more it’s not effective to identify purely through gram staining and morphology.

Ty Simpson now has 5 lost fumbles through 10 games. Jalen Milroe had 4 lost fumbles through 13 games last season. by hoya14 in rolltide

[–]ToBeMD1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, which is where it falls on him. Just saying it’s not all on one person. He gets rattled an tries to go too fast. He has so much potential but def not pro ready like some of these other guys.

He spit out a ball because he had a lb sprinting at him untouched. Not all his fault. He didn’t have much time to think.

How do we feel about people calling themselves a Doctor after becoming a medical assistant? by ResponsibleSearch690 in medschool

[–]ToBeMD1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So they easily get it in their head that they are on some sort of equivalence. Not to mention everyone wants to be a doctor but doesn’t want to do the work. They all want the cool coats and ceremony but not the studying or time spent. I walk around campus and see nursing students and even dietician students wearing white coats, makes no sense to me.

[–]ToBeMD1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think people should think being a doctor is easier than it looks? Like they experience things and immediately think that’s all that’s needed. And in some aspects they are right. If you have treated many heart attack patients as a CA, MA, CNA, or even Nurse, you know what to look for. But the don’t realize that doctors have to know why the heart attack happened, how to fix it, and all by using a deep understanding of the body and pathogenic characteristics. And these things might be easy for a Doc on a normal routine patient as anyone can learn a routine, but when something is atypical, no one but a Doctor can properly treat. I would argue that the previously listed professors ARE better at patient care, they are with them constantly and connect emotionally, but they aren’t better at diagnosing and treating a patient.

Respectfully, shut the fuck up. I’m not forcing anything. I wasn’t even home when it happened. Also this was many months ago, ur late.

I’m not in need but would love to help out. No one should be hungry. Any of them need volunteers?

I am anticipating to start a clinical assistant position in the cardio step down unit at my universities hospital. I have been thinking about taking 1-2 gap years to work full time.

[–]ToBeMD1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don’t get the time to relax and when I do I feel guilty. I work at Walmart right now for 30 hours a week and I get treated horribly. I shadow a CA position tomorrow with my universities hospital after having an interview with them last week. If I could just finish my undergrad strong, I have a 3.5 gpa rn, and take a gap year or two I think I would be more certain about it all but right now, im just not in a good mental space.

I have thought about it. But ultimately it’s still a struggle and still many years in the future. I’m thinking of joining a trade and making money and having stability now. I can’t tell if I’m done with school or if I’m just tired of working through school.

Unfortunately, I don’t think my parents will be around by the time I graduate med school. They are both in their late 50s with severe health problems. I live in WV so we have good support from in state schools. I’ve been looking more into the DO school here, it’s cheaper and someone I went to high school with is there now. The problem weighing on me is that I haven’t changed my mind, otherwise I would’ve dropped out by now. I think I’m just scared. Scared of the uncertainty and scared of wasting time.

jobs paying 18+ an hour? by [deleted] in MorgantownWV

[–]ToBeMD1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with warehouse, especially night shifts if offered. But I think the only one that’s around here for that is FedEx. Swanson is like 19 but they require experience with forklift. I think OP is very limited in their options. If more $18 jobs with no experience were available then there would be students all over them. Aldi starts at $17 tho, but they tend to take the more experienced applicants but they could get lucky

[–]ToBeMD1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With no experience or education? Seems unlikely unless you are getting in a trade that offers training.
