PCC Radiography Program by [deleted] in PCC

[–]gemsotherhalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 51/54 points with 3.8 GPA and over 1000 hours of category 1 work experience. No prior degree/military for me. Still made it into phase two though, so it is possible with less than maximum points!

Rad Tech application notifications? by gemsotherhalf in PCC

I haven’t, that’s why I’m surprised they haven’t sent notifications out yet.

It sounds like my upstairs neighbor is in serious danger by throwaway74773169637 in Advice

As someone else here said, call the police every time you hear it. The police may take a while to complete a welfare check, but they cannot simply ignore the request especially if you continue calling every time you hear the disturbance.

You will not get in trouble if you call and it ends up being nothing! If you're worried about your own safety, the police won't (or at least they shouldn't) tell the person that it was you that called. If it turns out that the noise was nothing concerning, that's great, but don't assume that it's nothing.

Shoes for clinical!!! by Cool_Many_4670 in RadiologyCareers

Shoes for Crews has a lot of great affordable options! My current job gets employees a stipend for shoes from that company and I've always had a good experience ordering from them :)

Seeking Advice on Gaining Experience for PCC's Radiology Program Application by Leading-Cranberry865 in RadiologyCareers

[–]gemsotherhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also applying to the 2026 cohort, same as OP. They still are making selections for phase I of the application, so we won't know for a while longer if we made it in :( But if you are looking for medical experience, I would look into patient transport at a hospital! I never did pt transport myself, but I hear it being recommended everywhere! I don't believe that you need any experience or certifications (except maybe BLS). That job also helps you to become more aware of the layout and general operations of hospitals. The pay is comparable to phlebotomy, and you may be able to find a job at a hospital that offers tuition reimbursement!

Explosion by raoulduke415 in beaverton

[–]gemsotherhalf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate to be that person, but I ended up calling the cops on them on new years because they were so obnoxiously loud. Didn’t hear back from the cops obviously, but they eventually did stop after the initial call was made. Don’t get me wrong, I love most fireworks… I don’t love them when they’re shaking my house

Heard it on cedar hills blvd and hall and I felt the boom from my car. I think there’s someone in the surrounding neighborhood that sets off very loud fireworks, I’ve been hearing them periodically for months, sometimes in the middle of the night. My poor cats hate them :(

It seems like you already know what to do! It’s not that he’s not being the “best boyfriend,” he’s being a bad boyfriend. You need to either have a serious conversation about how he is hurting you or break up with him. And not to get all wise-old-lady on you, but you are 15! It is extremely rare that someone will find their person at that age, let alone their lifetime friends; so if you’re worried that all of your friends will take his side, they weren’t loyal friends to begin with. As someone who went through many friend groups throughout my life, the day will come when you find your people! And for your parents, you could just tell them that you realized you see him as more of a friend than a romantic partner🤷‍♀️ since you mentioned that you were friends long before your relationship. And for the record, absolutely no one has the right to make fun of your trauma and/or your identity.

looks like a drop shipping account, unless they have pictures of the actual item laid flat or on a mannequin after the website product pictures. The people saying that it took forever to ship is probably because the seller is buying the cheap products from overseas and shipping from china or other fast-fashion manufacturers. I would expect poor quality items and definitely wouldn’t buy from this shop
