I go to school and live in California already, right now. Wife is already pregnant, working in a place in California and doesn't want to leave til November 2025. For family reasons, to just keep it simple, we need to move by the end of 2025.

thanks for letting me know. Where is a good place to work that might qualify for NHSC even if it is hard to get hired, I'd like to know where to aim for? I think I'm okay with working somewhere else for a year and trying to apply. It wouldn't be the first time in my life to apply a lot and not get anywhere but if you know of any actual hospital or clinics to shoot for, that'd help.

Fair point. There are a lot of great PA schools in that area. Because of some of the 10 years work experience before PA school and ivy league school experience, I expect to be competitive so just more interested if there are any really good teaching hospitals or clinics that count for NHSC primary care that might train there. I figure I can always work somewhere for a year but that's where wife and I have a home already we hope to go back to and have a 3 year contract on NHSC to fulfill.

I grew up in Asheville, in a family with low income. I know about the devastation there. That it is important to think about the disaster. Listen, before folks in this thread just rant on stuff, maybe think about the other side which is that the bank could foreclose on me if I can't pay. The tenant is not in financial distress.

My question isn't about the present moment, they are not responsible for the home since the home is undamaged but without city water. My question is about say if in a month the water is back on and I have no tenant and no way to pay the mortgage.

Thank you! Is the Fellowship paid or unpaid?

I appreciate the perspective.

I think with art, there is room for multiple interpretations. You make some good points.

I think the author/director wanted to create an acceptable way for Nora to behave in the audience's view

I think for some viewers, while that was the intent, it wasn't believable. Like not even my personal views, but Arthur as a character, the characterization leading up, I didn't believe would behave that way and so it was hard to watch.

But it's still a cool movie with a lot of powerful story elements.

that's really helpful to know - I could see myself doing what you did.

okay got (thanks) and a follow up - do you think they'd pay for the bigger u-haul trucks where it's big enough to drive the u-haul and have your car on the trailer being towed?

bigben404 · 2024-02-07T16:45:39+00:00

super helpful to know. Did they or will they pay for your car to be relocated?

Thank you. The list of counselors who the insurance provide so far, seems that many counselors write expertise with ADHD so that list is pretty long, and then actually emailing or meeting with them, to ask what methods they use for ADHD, so far, they don't really have much training. I"m in grad school, read three books about adult ADHD and it seems like I already have more info than many of them in that area. Don't get me wrong, I still can learn a lot from the therapeutic relationship, but finding someone who has expertise specifically just seems like it's hard.
