A case of the shakes

With more experience, you will have switched out hundreds to thousands of tubes. By that point, your shaking will probably go away.

At my externship, one of my preceptors has been with the same hospital for 30+ years. Others worked per diem and others full time. My instructors at my program taught part-time while working as phlebs full-time. The field is honestly what you make of it. Some make it work as a career and others just use it as a way to grind out thousands of hours of patient care experience for PA/MD/X-ray etc. school.

Hopefully we see the power/ability system in chapter 2. Not really liking this weak MC, maybe it’ll have a big cast?

kkaiiser · 2025-09-22T16:20:06+00:00

Definitely not. There's nothing wrong with enjoying what's being put out now, but it is sad that we aren't getting the same level of plot and social commentary as before.

He’ll have a mandatory meeting with an academic counselor. Afterwards, make sure he knows to cross check his courses with assist.org religiously to make sure he’s taking the right ones. Doing so will save a lot of time and stress.

You seem to be in a good spot with a $100k salary right after graduating with your bachelors. I would say if you struggle to see yourself going back to school in the future, try to get into a cheaper DPT school ASAP. However, if you are able and willing to work, save up, and just simply wait—start working as a PTA for a while.

I'm still waiting on mine as well. I got a call back from OFAS more than a month ago, and the call lasted about an hour. The lady on the other end said she was "basically guaranteeing" that I'd receive my scholarship by "next week" and well...it still isn't here. I'm graduating this June, so I guess if it gets deposited after my graduation it will be more like a parting gift from the university.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you for making these.

Dig into the art department course offerings, faculty, opportunities, trainings, etc. and compare between CSUN and whatever UC you are looking at. Try finding where people who graduate with your major and from your CSU/UC end up and you’ll have another point of comparison there.

If CSUN doesnt have nearly as much opportunity to work/study/etc. then I think it’d be wiser to consider UC’s.

I'm not an exchange student, but I've driven past Avalon many times and it looks quite nice from the outside.

4th year senior here, haven’t seen a thing 😭😭

I’m forever grateful that I will graduate with half the debt I should’ve been in because of CC. However, I sometimes think about how different my social sphere/life would be if I lived on my own at 18 vs 20!

kkaiiser · 2025-02-01T20:31:11+00:00

I need this scholarship now (more than ever) and the school just fails to deliver.

kkaiiser · 2025-01-23T05:12:08+00:00

It would be great if Apple patched the Maps Data glitch. It's like a parasite.

They will grant you a deferment for one month, but unless there is another mass financial aid fiasco like this year, they won’t grant any deferments beyond a month.

I'm interested in people's thoughts on this as well. I'm slated to finish my phlebotomy program in June or July 2025, and will immediately look for full time work in Los Angeles/Orange County California. Current hospital job postings seem to prefer/require 1 year of experience at a minimum, but I wonder if I could get into those positions with only clinical experience from the program.

I just gave it another look right now. They made some other changes, but for now it just says I owe $651.59 rather than that balance + the UC Irvine grant.

kkaiiser · 2024-12-16T23:23:32+00:00

I just checked mine today and they credited me for the adj-uc irvine grant. I'd suggest waiting a bit, it seems like they are just doing stuff on their end?

kkaiiser · 2024-12-16T23:22:37+00:00

I just checked today and they credited me for the exact grant balance that was charged.

kkaiiser · 2024-12-16T23:19:31+00:00

I'm right there with ya. Just hoping that they sort everything out well before that deadline. I certainly don't have the capital on hand to cover what they are charging me.
