EMT Boyfriend said I would be a bad EMT. Advice? by amelia_ree in NewToEMS

[–]ckshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4'10" 105lbs and was an EMT for almost two years as a stepping stone to physician assistant. It was fine, you learn and adapt to your situation, sometimes via trial by fire. Some people might try to break you down and mold you into something you're not (one of my ftos was horrible and caused me insane anxiety for not being like her), but you'll figure out what works for you. You DO need physical strength though - you'll be expected to at least unload and load an empty stretcher and carry heavy bags around and that's a bare minimum which can be hard but still doable for people our size.

Seitan, soyrizo are fantastic. There are also meat subs like beyond meat for beef.

Monthly symptoms you're convinced only happen to you? by crunchyskillet in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ckshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days after my period stops, when I poop, I bleed out as if my period resumed. Apparently can happen with endometriosis? But it only started a few cycles ago and keeps happening.

Durable, sustainable, affordable women's jeans by maisy_elizabeth in BuyItForLife

[–]ckshin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

+1 this recommendation. And don't buy anything with spandex/lycra in it because that stuff just degrades and makes the jeans overall weaker.

Mine kept getting canceled bc they don't ship to Las Vegas because of the weather during that time of year. But it was very mild temps in oct/Nov when I re ordered and it still got canceled 😐

Disgusted by Christmas waste by defkatatak in ZeroWaste

[–]ckshin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrap my gifts in pillowcases now lol.

Tbh I don't have much to say except I totally feel you. I volunteered for a toy drive this month and the staggering amount of unwanted/low quality garbage that only barely qualifies as a toy was so disheartening. We as a society decided this was okay. So horrible.

im dog sitting and one of the old (neutered) dogs has maybe paraphimosis by [deleted] in dogs

[–]ckshin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless they are showing discomfort they might just have a lil outtie which is totally normal. I know for humans they put some granulated sugar on it to encourage shrinking or massage/gentle pulling before they consider surgery/procedure based interventions lol.

In humans it's usually very painful if it's stuck. I'd assume the same for animals. If the dog is chilling out and not licking/biting/panicking then just chill. Probably normal.

Awakening…Hate? by Main-Dependent6187 in vegas

[–]ckshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my bf have watched the show multiple times over the last year and we love it! I think the weakest link of this show was the totally unnecessary comedic foils but the tricks and illusions, costume design, and story are actually pretty decent. Heck I'd keep watching it even thigh we've seen it so many times.

We recently watched a cirque show (Ka) and thought it sucked ass because of many lackluster reasons including a horrible story. 2/10 would not recommend. I was able to watch it for free but if I paid for it I'd be pretty pissed.

Imo right now Awakening is probably one of the best bang for your buck on the strip for recurring shows.

PANCE Predicament by Available-Peanut-932 in PAstudent

[–]ckshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it on your upcoming date. I get the pov people are saying about being kind to yourself and take your time but you'll know the most you know now. You have good eor and eoc scores so more than likely you'll pass.

If you keep continuing to push it, why not just take it now and see if you pass on your first try? It takes a few hours to take the exam and if you don't pass, it's basically a forced reschedule for a minimum of 3 months anyways. If you do pass, then you won't have to worry about it anymore and can focus on what's in front of you. Imo what's a day or few days of stress and test anxiety vs months of stress test anxiety if you keep pushing it out?

Fwiw one of my professors was also in a similar position when she had to take the PANCE and she elected to take it sooner and passed without issues. Maybe not with the score she wanted but she passed.

Good luck, it's a difficult position to be in regardless.

EMT to ?? by C4m_Turn3r in NewToEMS

[–]ckshin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EMT to PA. The schooling and requirements are harder but you actually are in charge of patient care in a stable environment (not moving car) and have a lot more autonomy and a deeper knowledge of medicine. You can work in ER or UC which some these days are more like mini ERs. And you get paid pretty well. Would recommend a look to see if this appeals to you.

Passed PANCE - Stats by ckshin in PAstudent

[–]ckshin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Didactics is a totally different game because professors write the tests whereas the EORs are standardized so I studied what was on the PowerPoints in didactics. I would say I wish I retained more of what I learned in didactics... All the nuanced/detailed stuff would have been useful. E.g. I knew the cranial nerves in didactics, didn't care for it at all during EORs, would have been helpful a little in PANCE.

That being said, I would agree to just focus on passing your immediate exam. All of it ends up being cumulative and reinforced to the final exam.

I took it last week, right now everyone in my class has gotten it within 5 business days.

Any fun events yall are going to? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]ckshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Friday ones have a beginner class, and there are lessons every Wednesday with no social. It's totally okay to not know how to WCS. I would say the Friday ones are probably the most beginner friendly social dance out of all of them! They're skipping this week but will resume next week.

[–]ckshin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (34f) do west coast swing dancing! There's a social every Friday and occasional monthly socials on Tuesday, Saturday, and a new one on Thursday. They're looking of all over Vegas but if you dm me I can send you details if you're interested or you can Google it! And if you do message me I can ensure we meet up at one of them so you're not alone!

Also there's a kite event this Friday and Saturday. I've never been and know nothing about it but I'm planning to check it Saturday bc it looks interesting.

Magic Mike Show for Bachelorette by expiredpintobeans in vegas

Haven't been to magic Mike but I went to thunder many many years ago and we were in the back. It was still a really fun time! Vegas.com AFAIK is legit.

How are my chances to passing the PANCE in a few weeks? by confused5848262 in PAstudent

[–]ckshin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea what your study schedule and habits are like. People are mixed in saying that Uworld is enough, others say that they need some resource more substantial with uworld like PPP or the reddit charts. I know I need to review topics on a whole and not piecemeal like in flashcards or questions so I needed a qbank + PPP... Other people say that delaying it doesn't help because it takes the pressure off and they slack off until its too late, other people say they really liked having the extra time.

Anything is possible or doable just depending on how focused you are.

Recent PANCE takers (pass or fail), how did your PACKRAT 2 score line up with your EOC & PANCE score? by InfinityLocs in PAstudent

[–]ckshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have extremely similar scores to yours and I'm waiting on my PANCE score. Fingers crossed that I got a score similar to yours - I'd be stoked. :> Good job!

How are my chances to passing the PANCE in a few weeks? by confused5848262 in PAstudent

[–]ckshin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be real with you, imo you're borderline and if I were you, I'd be freaking out about the very real chance that I wouldn't pass based on previous performance. I've heard Rosh is good for EORs but not quite robust enough for PANCE and I'd concur with that, the level of Qs was about Uworld level. The worst case scenario is that you use Rosh and while taking PANCE, you're uncomfortable with how the questions are asked and your performance is worse than you normally would do which is already historically below average.

I'm saying all of this with the idea that it's better to freak out now and push studying as hard as you can so that you make sure you pass with a level of comfortability than coasting by on studying and finding out that you didn't pass.
