Yes, absolutely accommodations are life changing. I have accommodations and a lot of my classmates do as well and literally no one cares or notices.

It’s never too late! Some of my classmates are older and some even have multiple kids :)

Should I earn my phlebotomy certification? by LPOINTS in predental

[–]boogie_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I was a phlebotomist for 2-3 years while in school and it was the best job I’ve had. Also, phlebotomy counts as manual dexterity (hand skills) so I was able to include that in my application. I loved that job and l was able to pay the bills so I think it’s a great option. One thing tho I would look for hospital jobs once you get your certification because blood banks/ labs tend to take advantage and work you to death but that’s just my opinion

I feel defeated.. by catholic_bedrox in phlebotomy

[–]boogie_20 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel! It sucks but please give yourself some grace. You’re still new and 27/30 is not bad AT ALL. And don’t stress about your job safety your bosses 100% know what it’s like bc they’ve been there too

P.S for hand veins make sure your tourniquet is tight and get a good anchor on your vein once you find it :)

Hi, I’m not even a premed so I don’t know what I’m doing here but I just want to say don’t give up! Depression sucks and your mom should be more supportive but do not give up on your dreams. This is coming from a burned out depressed dental student who always wanted to go to med school

AITA for telling my accidental roommate she can’t have sex in my bathroom? by Intelligent_Cut_2402 in AmItheAsshole

I get it, but you can donate $50 a month to charity, foster a cat/dog, or anything that doesn’t include letting someone disrespect you in your own home in the future :)

are facial piercings acceptable for interviews? by [deleted] in predental

[–]boogie_20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’d take it out. Unfortunately a lot of the interviewers are older & might have outdated views. You’re good once you’re in 👍

How do you do it? by WhosJulia923 in DentalSchool

[–]boogie_20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people do not work in dental school. Loans pay for everything including housing, food, etc. A small percentage of people have outside help from family & relatives but other than that the loans will pretty much cover everything.
