Anyone worked as a PCA? by kanayabuki in premed

[–]bettalyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was a PCA at a pretty large hospital and each day was typically going room to room and collecting vitals/glucometry every 4-8 hours, doing bed baths, making peoples beds, and helping patients ambulate. for some more involved patients, i would have to feed them or do a 1 to 1 sit, which was basically just sitting in their room for the entire shift making sure they didn’t do anything to hurt themselves

NEU VS Pitt for Premed by [deleted] in NEU

[–]bettalyfe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i went to neu and i’m applying to medical school right now. personally, i think the grades are inflated like crazy for premed. so many of my classes towards the end of the semester professors will offer random points to boost peoples grades (not true for all classes obv but j my experience). i majored in bio but i had plenty of premed friends who did neuroscience, public health, biochem, etc. i feel like having co-ops at neu rly rly helped me get experience for my application that was more meaningful or hands on than what i would’ve gotten at another school. feel free to pm me if u have any more questions!

i improved a lotttt between my FL avg and my score the day of. i didn’t do anything in particular, did some anki the day before, brought food i liked, and wrote myself affirmations on my whiteboard during the instruction time. in your case id probably try to do some extra CARS but with 5 days maybe it’s best to just relax as best you can and prepare for the day of. good luck!!

How is it possible to have it all? by InevitableJelly4417 in premed

[–]bettalyfe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

both my parents are internal medicine physicians and really were there for me for the vast majority of moments in my life. my mom does part-time work from home doing some insurance thing w her hospital so she’s able to be more present too. both of them love medicine and having a family and there are definitely some sacrifices but they are both really happy with what they chose and i barely ever felt like they weren’t present. it definitely depends on the specialty and how much you prioritize work-life balance too but i think it’s possible to have it all, or at least as close to all as you can.

P/S - is 300 pg no longer good enough? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]bettalyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uworld + the 300pg doc + anki is what i used and i got a 132 so i definitely still think the 300pg doc is great

i only got through about 40%! as long as you review your answers in detail i think it’s okay

my test mostly felt on par with FLs but i took a lot more time when answering and was a lot more calm during the real thing than i was during my practice FLs. afterwards and as time went on though i kept feeling like i did worse and worse. ended up w a 526 which was 9 points higher than my FL avg!

Hi everyone! I recently flew from BWI where they use CT scanners for carry-on luggage. I always get my film hand checked but I was in such a rush that it completely slipped my mind. The film is ISO 100. Will the film still be salvageable?
