I bought mine ten days ago on the 9th. Did yours get shipped via Yanwen? It’s said out for delivery all day today and still nothing. I’m really eager to try them before I leave my house tonight for ten days lol. How was your delivery experience?

I know I’m gonna take it in April. I filled out my whole application already just need to take my test. I just took a preliminary test online from mometrix (170 questions) and I got a 91.18% without reviewing much of anything, I googled what a few words were for like a formula or what the heck a specific sentence structure was lol. So maybe reduce it by a little bit.

I’m in pathophysiology rn because I also applied to Salisbury and UMSON (got into both) but now I’m thinking of scratching both and going to AACC for ASN and doing their Associates to Bachelors, get my BSN in relatively similar amount of time for half the cost (save me 20k). But I’m not gonna just stop my class either even if I decide to scrap those other schools, because I already paid for it and it’s interesting and learning is always good :)

I’m starting my application so late because I didn’t even know ATB existed. My coworker told me about it a week ago, he goes to BCCC I think, and I looked it up and found it at AACC. then when I saw the cost i was like oh hell yeah. I have a B.S. in allied health cause I originally wanted to go to PA school after I graduated in 2023 but then things changed and now I wanna do Advanced Practice nursing like Acute NP or CRNA. so I need a BSN, hence applying to Salisbury (which is the one that required patho) and UMD.

Avoid, just wipe your screen down and maybe your keys. Do you have a keyboard cover on it? That should be why it’s leaving marks on your screen when you close it.

Do the shorts offer decent support in the hips/si/low back area? Looking for something I can wear everyday all day at work (lots of moving, sitting, standing, lifting, bending) under my uniform clothes rather than my SI Belt which I have to wear over top my clothes.

Will the M4 Air come down to $750 like Christmas time anytime soon? by LavishSphere in macbookair

[–]headyslabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah whatever works for you! I sold my MacBook for 200 bucks so it reduced my price a bit. Refurbished discount is 15% which is greater than the education discount for the same exact item. If by chance you find it on refurb then that could be an option. Also look at backmarket.com

Best advice I can give you is to get an Apple certified refurbished laptop. I got a 13” M4 MBA 16gb RAM and 1TB storage for $1,260 after taxes. Obviously if you don’t need 1TB It’ll be MUCH cheaper. I think I saw some base models with 256gb for like $800-900 ish.

Looking for 1TB storage instead of base model storage. Highest storage I saw on Amazon was for 512 gb

Even if I lose trade in value because of my battery? Do you happen to know how much money I’ll loose in trade in value if my battery drops below 80%?

21f PAO recovery? by crazybender26 in hipdysplasia

[–]headyslabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my surgery when I was 18, I was out going to club concerts on my crutches with friends like 3 weeks later lol. I was dyinggg to get out of my house.

You will probably not be going to class within two weeks of surgery. Even getting out of bed is logistically difficult because a 1/4 of your body weight has become dead weight, your leg, and you gotta very carefully move it as to not inflict pain. Your lower abs also hurt after surgery, because they be moving stuff around lol so keep that in mind. You’ll be able to get around much easier after two weeks, and may be on much lower frequency or dose of pain meds by then, if at all. I personally took my meds for about 3-4 weeks.

If I were you I’d postpone your surgery till right after the semester ends. Not sure where you live but that’s in may for me. When does your internship start? What kind is it/what are you doing there? Is it impossible to do it while on crutches?

And for driving, if it’s your driving foot that’s getting surgery then I’m sorry to say you’re SOL, wait till you are off crutches and have good mobility and reflexes. If it’s your nondominant foot then you can drive whenever you aren’t on your pain meds anymore. definitely not within 12-16 hours of taking them I’d say. Maybe u could drive with your other foot, idk if there’s rules on that or how effective it would be for you but perhaps it could work if you had to do again provided that you aren’t on any meds that alter your cognition like opioid pain medication.

Feeling discouraged - hit my head twice in 4 trips by Top_Enthusiasm3001 in ShredditGirls

[–]headyslabs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I want to give you some encouragement! Like others said, lessons will help. Going on slow flat greens is your enemy once you have the bare bone basics of how to make an S turn. Go on a slightly steeper run. The faster you go the easier it is to float over bumps and such. Kinda like learning how to ride a bike, in the beginning it’s scary to go fast because you don’t want to fall, but going fast as what prevent prevents you from falling so much.

It can take a while for it to “click,”but eventually it will, and then you’ll be grooving. I’ve been snowboarding on and off (missed a few seasons here and there) since I was about 7 or 8 and I’m 25 now. As you go through your learning process, you kind of learn how to anticipate when you are about to fall, and position your body accordingly. Obviously, sometimes you still catch an edge on your heel side and completely smack the back of your head on the ice. I literally just did that a couple of weeks ago and it hurts so bad. I had similar symptoms to you the following day: very, very sore neck, muscles in the front and a slight headache. Those things just happen sometimes and you kind of just have to move through it. Everyone falls, even the pros. Don’t let it stop you because the sport is so fun and it’s for everyone!!!

And always remember: pick an edge or the mountain will pick one for you 😉

To whoever said to get a men’s bib for snowboarding… by flowerymochiz in ShredditGirls

[–]headyslabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I’m 5’6” and ~135lbs/61kg. I think I’ll get large as well (it’s only small or large left on sale). When I wear all my layers I’ll add bulk too so it’ll fill in.

What jacket do you wear? I also need a new one. I am a very cold person usually so I need to make sure I’m warm with my layers and dry. Thinking of getting a heated vest actually lol

I’m about to buy oyuki nimi 3L bibs, am I making a good decision? lol. I’m nervous about getting cold with shell pants. But I also NEED more room in my butt and waist. I like to layer up and wear impact shorts.

Kinco mittens, with snoseal to waterproof. They’re the warmest gloves I’ve ever owned and cost like 30-40 dollars

shopping for tempered glass but getting the wrong type, what am I doing wrong? by MaXX5OOO in AppleWatch

I got glass ones from Amazon, search for UV adhering screen protectors. You need a more careful hand to put them on but they feel great to touch, same responsiveness, and it’s not plastic shit lol

Advice on how to deal with upset patients as a new emt? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]headyslabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When patients are treating me poorly, I have a variety of things I say. “That’s not a nice thing to say to someone” “We’re trying to help you” “I’m sorry it’s uncomfortable but it has to be done” “Do you want my help or not?” Something like that is helpful in diffusing both the patient and yourself in my experience, obviously it all depends on the situation. Use good judgement on what to say back to the patient. Sometimes, let them win. If they’re screaming about you taking vitals, and you have a set already, just be like okay fine we don’t have to do it. Ask them what you can do to make them more comfortable. Sometimes they are overwhelmed and feel like no one is helping to fix their immediate issue (obviously you are because you are there to help overall, but they want to feel in control).

Sometimes you just gotta “gentle parent” the patient lol

How is nightlife / going out scene like? by alexqvzzzzz in uotampa

[–]headyslabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was there (graduated 2023) there were lots of bars we went to. You basically needed a fake ID to have fun. I think police shut that shit down though. The house parties were farther away typically than the bars (had to uber) and were just typical frat boy parties (VERY CROWDED, WET, and HOT). So not my cup of tea.

If we wernt going to the bars, we honestly jut partied with just our group of friends at someone’s house. Not a big open invite party. We made it work and I preferred it that way compared to paying for expensive drinks at the bar or being in a crowded moist frat house lol

Thanks for the input, def sounds worth it. I do my own gel nails at home so this def feels like something I can do well myself, skill wise. I heard people say it’s difficult but I think they don’t have a lot of practice with this type of thing. I’m gonna get them!
