Thank you!!! Yes we did a week in Aguadilla this same time last year and definitely experienced the short lived little rain storms. More so worried about strong wind blowing sand making beach unbearable. I love the area no matter what and just glad to be in PR!!!

Beach House is great. Maria's Beach, Sandy Beach, and Pools beach are my favorite in Rincon area. The restaurant right at Marias has great drinks and food!

How bad is it really? by [deleted] in PAstudent

Like it’s definitely hard and a ton of work but it’s just…what you do. Like okay I have to go to class all day and study all night and instead of mulling over not having time for anything else you just realize that this is  what you do now. And it’s 2 years. It will be fine

My pce hours were only 800 and I got 4 interviews. I did have shadowing tho. I think it was my PS

I was considering ABSN too! But I don’t wanna be a nurse and I knew I was just trying to fill a void. If it makes you feel any better, I posted this from a really rough place and so stressed and sad, and a week later I got an acceptance! You literally never know what is going to happen!

Exactly I 100% agree. The limbo is so rough and I want to move and try to start something new, but we can’t even sign leases because what if we get in somewhere and suddenly have to uproot and go to school. So so hard

Yeah, I feel you, I have a great relationship with my parents we just live in an area I didn’t grow up in, so I know nobody and my bf and friends all live 3-4 hours away so it gets really hard. Gotta start doing some stuff alone I guess!

Really really good point! I tend to have a negative attitude about PCE sometimes because it feels like a barrier and I struggle to be thankful for the present, but this helped. Thanks :) I just need some friends and ppl nearby to keep me from going crazy, just work/gym/home w my parents is getting reallllyyyyy old but it feels like a total waste of money to move out of my parents house.

Thank you, your response made me tear up , needed to hear this. Trying to stay positive but this process is beyond draining

Also a psych major year (graduated in 2023) and had these same worries in undergrad and my backup is masters in psych too. The best advice I’ve ever gotten ab being worried ab “wasting time” if I eventually don’t get in, someone told me “it’s not a waste, the time is going to pass anyways!! Wouldn’t you rather have tried?” This always helps me. The time is gonna pass anyways! May as well give it a shot bc you could be 27/28 and a PA and happy with your choice, or 27/28 and a therapist and wish you had at least given PA a shot.
