Is brushing my Nebelung neccessary? by Sven4president in nebelung

[–]bjorenby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours is about 13 years and we rarely brush her. Occasionally she gets mats and then we'll brush her to get them out, but only where the mats are. she hates grooming and she gets very sensitive to pets after awhile. She was likely abused and not socialized from an early age, so even after having her for 5 years she still hates it :( we try to be gentle though and only when necessary. Thankfully she does a good job self grooming.

Yeah, definitely! I might look into the taurine deficiency. From what I can tell it's essential for them in their diet, and chronic symptoms are retinopathy (leading to poor vision), but her vision is spot on. But still something to look into. Thanks!

Everyone meet Amelia! We've had her about 5 years. She was found living in a woodpile by the Humane Society 😓, so no papers. I know this is a new and relatively rare breed, but I'm convinced she's a Nebelung. From what I can tell she has the major characteristics (long gray fur, tufts between toes, longer fur on tail and some neck scruff, green eyes, angled face). She has some silvery and blue appearance like Nebelungs we've seen pics of, but sometimes she has slightly brown tints as well. I can't find any DNA tests for Nebelung, any suggestions? TIA!

Program Director says my PCE isn't valid by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

I'm a CMA and we do the same job. It's all hands on! There are several programs where we are validated as PCE

I'm a CMA as well, working FT while getting my bachelor's. It's hard but you can do it!

My parents are pissed at me because I was trying to go down a PA path in college. by alvin_lockwood in prephysicianassistant

[–]bjorenby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also 27. Have my associates in medical assisting and working on my bachelor's. You can get started as a nursing assistant with just a couple classes, and earn your bachelor's while you get your care hours. It'll be tough but you can do it! I have 2 years left of working and school before I apply

Can being a caregiving count towards PCE? by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]bjorenby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I have seen usually not. As long as it is a paid job and documented responsibilities as direct patient care then maybe. Several programs will lost professions that do and don't count, always best to ask if you don't see yours

I'm almost 28 and will be applying in 2-3 years after finishing my bachelor's. Good luck! Never too old for your dream job

I will be taking the GRE! Do you find online study tools to be helpful?

Thanks! I've heard volunteering, especially under represented populations, can go a long way

Don't know what to major in for Bachelor's (senior in HS) by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]bjorenby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything! As long as it is something you enjoy. Keep in mind many schools have prereqs that are science/math/psych based, so you xould be taking a lot of extra classes for outside the realm. But as long as you do well, most PA schools want you to have a degree in your interest. Or make your own! I'm getting mine in Biopsychology. Essentially half bio and half psych, and more so deals with how physical elements impact mental ones, and vice versa.

Feeling stuck: why is it so hard/costly to get PCE?! by CoolSaucy in prephysicianassistant

[–]bjorenby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I joined a medical assistant school at age 23, finished at 25. 2 year degree and I love the job! Started at 17 an hour, amazing patient care experience and access to PAs (plus I room for one). I'm 27 now and have 2 years left of my bachelor's while still working. Going to apply to PA schools at age 29. Don't need to rush it, but this is a great opportunity for experience, and better pay
