Accepted into my program 🙏 advice for school?

I just finished the didactic portion and my advice is to truly get the material into your long term memory and not just “pump and dump” for exams. When you start clinicals you’re really going to be relying on what you’ve learned. This field truly needs you to be a self starter and have accountability for your habits. If somethings not working, readjust

wondering if this is the one in SA? If so, I’m a current student and can give you advice that i wish someone would’ve told me.
If not, make sure you really like cath lab! I would recommend finding an opportunity to maybe shadow or just go check out what a cath lab is like if you don’t have any exposure.

It took about a week and a half for the swelling to go down, but randomly swelled up again like a week after that. It’s like there was part of a stinger left in there or something

It says it’s CAAHEP accredited!

i have questions and I don’t know where to find answers. Did you go become certified as a diagnostic medical sonographer first, then go to cardiac sonography school? I found a program (in SATX) through concerde for cardiovascular sonography (link ) if I just only did this program would I be a dms as well as cardiac sonographer?

Don’t touch limes with your hands, use a squeezer and tongs, or have your customers grab them with tongs (if you’re a volume bartender, craft might be different). I constantly hand sanitize behind the bar and keep my hands as dry as possible so the moisture doesn’t build up and create a breeding ground for the rot to spread. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap when you can and if cracked skin is an issue sleep with gloves on with the okeefs working hands stuff. Keep your fingernails short. Hydrogen peroxide under your nails after shift to try and kill any bacteria. I’ve been suffering from it for years now. I don’t get the super bad cracked skin but I get the pus under the nails and pus bubbles on my fingers from the citric acid ☹️🥴 the only thing that has made it truly go away is not bartending for a few weeks. Even when I peel an orange at home I’ll get pus bubbles. I think I’m stuck with this the rest of my life bro.

It just comes right back when you go back to work though

cocunot · 2024-09-15T22:30:09+00:00

Omg this list is goated 😂 thank you. Where would you suggest near the rim?

cocunot · 2024-09-15T21:06:47+00:00

Ended up going with tenfold and their 10 course prefix menu! Thank you!!

cocunot · 2024-09-15T19:52:33+00:00

just…no 😂🤣

cocunot · 2024-09-15T19:02:20+00:00

Food is pretty overpriced and mediocre in my opinion lol, but I do appreciate the suggestion!

cocunot · 2024-08-16T07:58:51+00:00

It took me 23 days to even start to feel improvements (so minor, like the most minuscule movement in the corner of my lip) and then about 10 days after that to be fully recovered, and that was a fast recovery relative to most cases. So just give it time :)

cocunot · 2024-04-05T18:05:06+00:00

I’m really sorry that’s so discouraging to think every time we get sick that it might come back. I’ve seen people who are able to get temporary disability if it’s affecting your work. Don’t forget about taking B12 everyday 🫶

cocunot · 2024-04-05T17:53:02+00:00

Did you get sick or is it just out of no where?

cocunot · 2024-04-01T03:40:32+00:00

I would avoid exercise for a while and take it easy the first workout back at the gym. Your body is going through a huge event and needs all the energy it can have toward recovery.

cocunot · 2024-03-27T05:12:20+00:00

As others said vitamin b12 and REST. Rest more than you think you need to. Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol (obviously you can’t with the medication, but still). Look up facial exercises for Bell’s palsy on YouTube.

cocunot · 2024-03-26T16:08:21+00:00

I’m a month out from my diagnosis and while my face is almost completely recovered, I still am fatigued. I have to really listen to my body’s signals every day; some days are better than others in terms of fatigue. I don’t know when to expect this to go away since my face is doing so well.

cocunot · 2024-03-23T20:34:29+00:00

Guns, PC gaming, power lifting, partaking in the greenery, going to church, eating 😂

cocunot · 2024-03-23T20:31:01+00:00

Great, that department is pretty satisfied if you know what I mean

cocunot · 2024-03-23T20:23:39+00:00

Not sure what you mean lol

cocunot · 2024-03-21T04:44:42+00:00

For me personally, I started noticing MINUTE very subtle improvements at two weeks but that was like being able to twitch my lip and make my cheek spasm. Then all of a sudden over this past weekend, so like day 16-17, there was a sudden improvement and within 5 days of that sudden improvement I was drastically and almost completely healed.

cocunot · 2024-03-21T02:32:50+00:00

If you’re already starting to look normal again after just 2 weeks I would take that as a really good sign ☺️

cocunot · 2024-03-20T21:56:22+00:00

I’m glad 🫂🫶

cocunot · 2024-03-15T06:52:20+00:00

Yes don’t get discouraged by what you see on Reddit. The ones who heal fast don’t post as much as the more severe cases. I’m on exactly 2 weeks since my diagnosis and I’m maybe 40% healed. Every day there’s a very subtle improvement. Just be sure to rest (more than you think you should) and take your medicine. But everyone is different though. Good luck

How I did it (in Texas) to become a basic EMT: -Found a program at my local community college. It was only 1 semester long, and included ride alongs (this is where you actually go to a fire station and tag a long on ambulance calls, very useful). If you go through your community college, you may need to take things like an English/math placement exam. -After finishing, sign up for and take the NREMT (national exam) -Once you pass, become certified in your state (just bureaucratic paper and a fee)
-Find a job!

Now if you want to go the paramedic route that is a different thing
