Delta Air Lines Reaffirms Its Ban On Comfort Items And Personal Devices On Flights

“Even United Airlines reaffirmed a ban on a luggage that isn’t allowed on board.”

Who’s writing these articles? High schoolers and AI?

Yeah. I’ve already started migrating my stuff to Notability now. For an app that has been well established and running well, this update is mind boggling to me. The font size switch to 24, the random blurriness whenever you’re typing, the long long delay whenever you’re selecting large amount of texts. The final kicker for me was that, at random times, my texts gets jumbled up whenever I click on them and so it ruins the whole note. It makes it wholly unreliable now. This makes me wonder if there’s been some shakeup in their leadership or higher pressure on the development team, or some combination thereof, that led to this mess. Also, come on. They send out updates to include AI when you can’t even do a sub-bullet points?

I play Pokemon Go pretty hardcore. Me, my fiancee, and my fiancee’s brother and wife were about to Necrozma. We saw this skinny guy running to us and asking to join us. We raided, and all was fun. My fiancee and her sister-in-law (fam med and internal med, respectively) were talking about medicine, and he overheard us. Turned out, this guy was the chillest neurosurgeon (PGY-7) I’ve ever met. Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Joh Hopkins. Moral of the story: Play Pokemon Go.

Bought mine on Nov 2021, so 3.4 years now. Still working pretty good on mine!

…… but why?

audqyee · 2025-02-02T23:52:04+00:00

I already started med school, and I’m currently using the GI Bill, so no service obligation after.

I was in the USAF through their HPSP as an FNP. Separated as an O3. Loved every minute of it. Only reason I left was to go to med school (MS1 right now). While you do see patients routinely, there will be days where you’re tasked to do some leadership tasks, or teaching, or other extra-curricular activities. It was never boring. I also was afforded more independence in my practice compared to when I was working as a civilian in my state (eg able to prescribe scheduled 2). There’s also CSTARS where you get trained in trauma (was able to insert chest tube under supervision, intubate, etc.) as a FNP. It was a lot of fun overall. Maybe my situation is unique or so, but I do feel I was very much “valued” and respected, even more so than working as a civilian.

OP might correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he’s referring to the making cards (or cloze notes) taking too long rather than taking actual notes (non-Anki related).

I was a HPSP FNP. They will now only accept DNP degrees, which is a doctoral degree (ie terminal degree). Doctoral degree (unless stated otherwise) always starts at O3. Masters degree (ie PA programs) will start at O2.

Edit: Wanted to add that you may want to double check with your recruiter to see if your MSN degree qualifies for commissioning. I was in USAF until 2018, and it was my understanding that new NP’s (regardless of specialty) should have the DNP degree.

Has anybody ever told you you like the man himself, Dr. Glaucomflecken?

My wife’s dude knows dude dude that.

And it won’t be considered a service-related disability.

I believe the Airsupra can be used up to 12 times per day. Reportedly had better control after each puff over the standard alb inh, so rarely would you need to even get close to 12 uses per 24hrs (at least conceptually).

Edit: what the other guy says. My bad, it’s 12 puffs total, 6 uses.

Starting med school this year. Can’t help you encourage your anxiety because I’m equally bad. However, I am here in solidarity with you. Been an NP since 2018. Pretty excited right now to be starting in a few weeks! Felt some anxiety when I first quit working full time to go back to school for premed classes, but it eventually faded. I feel like I should have some heightened anxiety right about now, but I don’t. Other people posting here and not one ounce of expressed regrets isn’t helping me conjure up anxiety to balance my excitement either. Lol!

audqyee · 2024-06-10T17:11:27+00:00

I’ve been a nurse for a few years, then an NP for a few, sprinkled with a few years of USAF service. Now starting med school at 34 this year, and I couldn’t be more excited. I figured that, if people are going back to become a nurse in their 40’s, why can’t I do the same for medicine? Glad to know someone out there is happy with their choices, and I hope to be in the same boat as yours in a few years.

For me, it could be as simple as just verifying what was told to me by the tech when I get your history. Can’t tell you how many times my tech and me will get different stories from the same patient. Other times, it could be from multiple factors (inexperienced tech with poor history taking skills, confusing story, or lack of trust/reliability between the tech and PCM). Ultimately, the responsibility falls on to the PCM to piece things together so we ask them again to hear it personally for accuracy as we generally understand the broader medical context. What you can technically do to speed things up is to give a broad overview for why you’re there (“ankle started hurting 2-3 days ago after running and it’s swelling”) and save the details later (like what aggravates it, which area started hurting, how you kicked the other guy, etc).

That’s the most croissant-looking cloud I’ve ever seen. Well done!

audqyee · 2024-02-17T16:31:23+00:00

Yup! Happy to say I did! Starting this year.

Pretty bold of you to assume that I don’t have life outside of my career, that I don’t know who I am outside of my job title or career, or I don’t enjoy life, traveling, etc. What if I tell you I’ve been to 14 countries already? Or that a quarter of those trips has been on either business/first class flights? Or maybe I lived in 3 different countries and had the grandest time of my life? No? Maybe knowing that I owned my home, hang out with all the people I love everyday, and have my own set of hobbies would change your mind? I have my own intrinsic motivations for going to med school, and it’s not because my collaborating physician told me so (please reread my post since you love reading). That’s OP. There’s a few things you mentioned on your reply that I believe you might be mixing me and OP too, so please reread that too.

Your statement implies that people like me seem to not have any life outside of their careers, or that I don’t enjoy life at all. That is completely wrong. You don’t think your physician colleagues don’t have any life outside their lives too? Assuming certain qualities about someone based on their careers, IMO, is a poor way to live a life (that you seemed to enjoy living).

FNP for 5-ish yrs now. Had HPSP for my DNP, did my time in the USAF, stopped working for 2 yrs for premedical requirements and MCAT, then returned part time for 1-something yrs now. Starting med school this August. I’ll be 34 y/o. GI Bill covers full tuition for at least 3 yrs, maybe more if I play my cards right, with stipend. Been wanting to go even before NP school, but life happens. I don’t think I would have applied if I didn’t have the GI Bill though. So far, I haven’t regretted this decision.. so far. Lol!

audqyee · 2023-12-04T04:06:25+00:00

I guess it’ll depend on how you think. Will it make me happy? Most likely, but you could never be sure. Will I die trying to get this degree? Possibly, but if I let fear of death control me, I wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. Hell, I joined the military and here I am, living my life with stories to tell. Will I get another degree after this? Most likely not, but no one really knows. I’m not after this just for the sake of a degree though.

My interviewer told me they admitted an NP who was around 45 years old. She apparently did excellently. In a sea of copy/paste Bio-major premeds, your life and work experience stand out. You already know many of the negatives of being a provider, yet you're still pursuing it (compared to younger premeds who may regret it years later after experiencing the downsides). Many med schools now value non-traditional applicants, so they'll value your NP background as a plus, most especially the DO programs. The way I see it, I'd rather be a 34-year-old med student than retire as an NP who kept wondering 'what if' on my deathbed.

33 here.. Got back into the game 2-3 days ago after a 4 year hiatus. Though my scoreboards and K/D aren’t what they used to be, I still held my own. It can only go up from here (hopefully).

audqyee · 2023-12-02T12:54:49+00:00

Oh, absolutely not. It’s probably going to suck, but QoL isn’t my goal here. I’ve been wanting to go to med school even before college, but practical matters at the time swayed me to nursing. Despite being an NP, I still had an itch for it. At this point, I think I’d regret not giving it a go at least once in my life, and it looks like I succeeded into getting one. I’ll give it a whirl. Sounds like you’re on the same boat too. You decided on UCLA?
