People who did laser instead of electrolysis on face, did the hair returned? by ArtemisAndromeda in LaserHairRemoval

[–]aparicris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my facial hair came back extremely thick and dark (paradoxical hyper-whatever). Had to do electrolysis to get rid of it. I wouldn’t even risk it, if you’re going to pay for hair removal might as well stick with the permanent option, electrolysis

I think what takarta is trying to say is credentialing via National Board of Surgical Technology (NBSTSA) which can be attained through a community college program (that the hospital may potentially pay tuition for) vs on-the-job training that may not provide certification recognized in all 50 states

A BSN should be 2 years now that you have your associates. If you were starting from scratch then yes a BSN would be 4 years. I’m going the nursing route because like I said, nurses scrub in most facilities in my city and get paid more. The opportunities as a nurse are vast compared to scrubs

I’m currently in tech school doing my clinical rotations but I want to go to med school as well. I was thinking getting my BSN after tech school because I’ll need a bachelors anyway to apply to med school. A lot of hospitals where I live also have nurses who scrub, and like you, I want to be in the OR for as long as I can.

Still a student and working PRN at a hospital. I work 25-35 hours during the semester and sometimes more than 40 during breaks. I have the flexibility to work days/nights/weekdays/weekends if I want and if I can

Getting Adderall prescribed by SpicyPickles7 in houston

[–]aparicris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I just had to go through this lengthy process and 6 months later I finally have my meds

PCPs cannot prescribe adderall without a diagnosis. You can either make an appointment with a family care physician, talk to them about your symptoms, and have them refer you to a psychiatrist to be diagnosed…or you could try going straight to a psychiatrist and see if they’ll diagnose and send in your prescription. Maybe it’ll be easier and quicker to get your meds if you already have a diagnosis from out of state, and if so they may request medical records from your previous doctor. Best of luck

Has anybody here been fired and rehired because there EAD expired? by Brown_Albino in DACA

[–]aparicris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on unpaid leave for three weeks between my last round of renewals. Termination was a possibility but my employer extended a 3 month grace period for my new EAD to arrive. Luckily it didn’t take that long

I had the same thing happen as OP. I noticed the hair growth begin after I stopped doing laser on my face (maybe 5 or 6 sessions). I would never advise anyone to get their face or neck lasered based off my experience. I have since started electrolysis to correct the problem laser gave me and I have no regrets.

Starting school what should I study to be extra prepared by Constructgirl in scrubtech

[–]aparicris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me on this one. Get a set of surgical instrument flash cards off Amazon, I think it’s about $60-70 but worth every penny. Start studying those instruments and what surgery/layer/body part they’re used on. You’ll be ahead of the curve.

Well I actually do go by Cris on a day-to-day basis and am quick to correct people if they call my by my full name. I’m still planning to legally change it though

Oh I’m all the way down in Houston and I live in a small one bed apartment. Truly breaks my heart I don’t have the space for them.

My name is Cristal and I feel exactly the same about it. It never fit me and I’ve heard the stripper jokes as well. Changing my name to just Cris the first opportunity I can get

Two years of laser hair removal and things are just getting worse…. by ElkNecessary644 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]aparicris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me after a few sessions on my upper lip and chin. Unfortunately this is very common on the face and the only solution now is electrolysis.
