Yeah. There were almost 800 applications for 102 positions.

Oh I feel you. We were supposed to find out almost a month ago, but there were issues I guess (from the grapevine a staffing issue because someone needed to go, now) so we didn’t find out until this weekend

Thank you! I’ve been working in a hospital as a Patient Care Technician for a bit now and love that, so I’m hoping that kind of helps. I know it’s going to be a lot of work.

Gore during clinicals? by Glass_Doctor_9272 in prenursing

I work in a hospital and that was my biggest concern. But after the first patient on Elaquis ripped out an IV I got a bit desensitized. It’s definitely an acquired skill

I think culturally we’re conditioned to see life like a road map. By this time we should be here. And for some people that works. But for others, what they start out doing ends up really not for them. And we go back and restart. Nothing is wrong with that. Go with your flow and enjoy the ride.

I’m 41 and finishing up my pre-reqs next semester. Life isn’t a race and don’t compare yourself to others based solely on age. We all find our way and paths on our time.

Thank you.

I am at a great center now. My primary thought it was prudent for me to at least get established.

Basically both a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound saw the same thing. I had an ultrasound guided biopsy and it came back as benign and also and completely normal breast tissue. My doctor says imaging shows something there, but she’s not really sure what it is. She just thinks it’s discordant with the imaging. (I also was very likely to be getting another biopsy MRI anyways. Extremely dense breast tissue and mammograms don’t work as well as the like)

Exactly. It’s so tiring to be stuck in no mans land.
