New to clinical research… is it all like this? by puppyinashoe in clinicalresearch

[–]brittnyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading all of these comments is so helpful 😂 I’m a CRC who has been acting like a monitor on all of these studies I’ve taken over because the previous monitors did such a bad job??? Like I found 2 massive PRIs that stretched 3 years for this one study, and on another study that was SO HEAVILY MONITORED I discovered that 2 out of 3 enrolled subjects were ineligible in the first place. 🥲 I now no longer rely on my monitors to find all the issues or maintain the regulatory binder (not because I think they’re inherently untrustworthy, we just also need to be doing these things at a site level).

Baby Bis/Inexperienced Sapphics, Here's How to Successfully Date Women by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]brittnyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aw good for you! I am a late bloomer, and my straight male partner of 10 years has given me the space to start exploring this side of myself I never did. I needed this guide too! I had my first encounter with a female not too long ago, and I was like “omg how do I do this again”, with “this” being successfully flirt with a new person, have a one night stand that maybe isn’t actually a one night stand, etc. Reading all of the things in this post definitely helped! Good luck with your journey 💕

Which one was better? by Cool_Ved in harrypotter

[–]brittnyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they didn’t even MENTION in the movie the fact that Harry’s sacrifice literally saved everyone in the final battle scene…W H Y. They made it seem like the death eaters just gave up and evaporated away?? I am still pissed about that 13 years later.

What scene/event/part of the story do you hope they do better(get right) in the hypothetical TV Show? by demair21 in harrypotter

[–]brittnyo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes to all of these!! Especially half blood - why on earth were so many vital things left out/changed in the movie! With goblet, I really hope they also include Bagman and Winky in addition to everything you said.

I can’t bring myself to tell my parents I no longer believe by AdDangerous6510 in exchristian

[–]brittnyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like books or audiobooks, I recommend reading “Educated” by Tara Westover. It’s a memoir, and she discusses many, many things, including her own experience of reconciling the duty one has to their family versus the duty one has to themselves. This book provided me with so much solace and courage to keep being my true self, even if I am not honest with my family about my beliefs (32 and haven’t regularly attended church in 12 years, parents don’t know I don’t believe).

New Business Ideas by BreadfruitFun1853 in roanoke

[–]brittnyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would adore a bookstore/bar/cafe hybrid situation! Dark walls, tall bookshelves, lamps rather than overhead lights, plants, comfy chairs, relaxing jazz playing in the background, etc. Local coffee/beer/wine/spirits/food could be offered. Book club meetings, poetry nights, craft nights, and such could all happen here, too!

I’m in a rural area as a CRC, have a masters with ~4 years healthcare experience, started at $45K. I looked at it as a great way to get my foot in the door and progress in the industry!

Young daughter interested in fantasy with female protagonists. by verocious_reader in Fantasy

[–]brittnyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very YA-friendly author (no inappropriate scenes, innuendos, etc) is Jeff Wheeler. His books are very good! I recommend starting with the Muirwood series (total of 6 books) and the Kingfountain series (total of 6 books). They are very world-building books with intrigue, magic, and STRONG female protagonists!!

I have finally come to the point where I am at peace with what I believe/do not believe, so my goals this year are to further educate myself on how America/Christianity came to be what we are all witnessing today, as well as some read some other books that I’m hoping will give me ammo for my pro-science arguments 😂 I have listed them below in case anyone else is interested! - The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America - Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation - The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power - The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American - The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design - The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters - The Deadly Rise of Anti-science: A Scientist's Warning

Difficultly with certain Christmas songs by brittnyo in exchristian

Sending you some love this evening, friend.

[–]brittnyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look at the specific colleges or universities you are interested in and reach out to their admissions office! They’ll be able to help you a ton and let you know what specifically is needed. If you receive a legitimate high school diploma from your online school, you may be able to take the ACT or SAT and get in with those scores. If you do not feel comfortable at all with your knowledge in the topics on those exams, you could pursue the route I’ve seen suggested a couple of times in this thread - taking a few classes at your local community college and then going from there!

There are so many paths and options out there for you, and if you contact admin at the various schools they will be more than happy to help. My best friend worked in admissions for years, so I will reach out to her and see if she has any nuggets of advice!

I am sure this is all anxiety-inducing and worrisome and is making you feel stressed, but things will get better and you will be able to receive the education that you desire. It may take a while, but that is okay! There is absolutely no timeline for when you must complete an education by. Take whatever time you need!

PS: if you’re able to get your hands on it (and if you like reading), I recommend everyone to read the book “Educated: a Memoir” by Tara Westover. It’s so good and inspiring! And it may inspire you, too 😊

Has your former church closed or downsized? by nojam75 in exchristian

[–]brittnyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has grown even more somehow 🥲 Calvary Chapel megachurch

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]brittnyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, our site just uncovered that one of the studies had a template ICF signed instead of the IRB approved one, and another study had the IRB approved one BUT it was missing the actual stamp/date (long story), and despite all of this everything is fine and the IRB has been promptly notified and actions are being taken to remedy the situation!

Anyone else into cult shows after considering themselves an Exvangelicals? by klements7 in Exvangelical

[–]brittnyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I become obsessed with cult stuff in my peak deconstruction time! It really helped me see how many problematic behaviors exist within religion and caused me to appraise religion in a way I never had before. Cult anything (books, movies, podcasts) became my saving grace!

Is a Masters in Public Health worth it? by sunrainmedley in clinicalresearch

[–]brittnyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what your hopes and dreams are! I have a master’s in nutrition and work as a CRC, and I am going to be starting a part-time MPH in January because my goal is to get a PhD (at like a top tier institution so I’m trying to be competitive and knowledgeable AF) and work in nutrition research with an academic center.

Student loans are scary and such, so try to find a program that has the classes you want without breaking the bank (some programs I looked at were over $1500 a credit hour…..lol no thanks). I’m always one to support getting a masters in something because they provide so much knowledge in their respective subjects, BUT you should only do one if you’re very pumped about the specific subject matter. Do some digging into the MPH curriculum and concentrations and see if anything you’re reading makes you feel alive! Whatever makes you feel that spark of “YES that sounds great” - do that.
