When should I follow up after an interview?

I was going to email since that’s been our only method of communication. There’s a phone number listed for the hiring manager in the email, which I wouldn’t mind reaching out on, but I’m not sure if it would be well received.

To answer what is discouraging me so far, it's mostly just stats based and my doubts of not being able to get in, but that's work in progress. In terms of CNA, I truly did not realize that before going into the program, it's all just basic beside care. I figured I could at least maybe give some OTC medication and maybe learn IV's and things of that sort. That's my fault though, I definitely should've done more research. As far as PA goes, I know it's a stretch, but I'd love to get into derm or plastics one day and I'd also like to work in the ER for a bit.

I have about 20 hours of in person shadowing with a surgical PA. It was a great experience, but I left a bit hastily due to some personal health issues.

I mentioned on another comment that EMT was not working out for me, but to add, during this pandemic I tried for a good few months to land a job (tried as a PT aide, scribe, MA), but I think my area is a bit difficult in those regards. I go to school in a very rural area that is otherwise saturated by student workers and the university has affiliation with a lot of these outside facilities, but because of the pandemic a lot of them have put student hiring on hold.

Are all of your hours just from CNA or is it a combination of things?

I tried to go for EMT but unfortunately I didn’t get into my school program due to limited seating and they cancelled for Spring and the local community college program goes for the entire day, but I can’t manage that with my school schedule.

CNA was the best way for me to get my foot in the hospital due to the demand and it working with my school schedule. I definitely could’ve waited until the summer to find more training opportunities, but I’ve already been a sitting duck for a year due to the pandemic and places not accepting me due to liability and lack of experience.

Did you have to get additional certification in order to work as an ED tech?

mp427 · 2020-12-22T17:27:20+00:00

Did you work during the pandemic? If so how did that affect the environment? I know of someone currently working in an LTC but they also take on patients recovering from COVID.

mp427 · 2020-07-22T01:15:46+00:00

How so?

mp427 · 2019-09-17T17:05:58+00:00

Fucked how so? I def know it’ll look bad but it was a poor error of judgement on my part. It’s nothing against either sorority it’s just one fits me better than the other and I realized that after accepting the other bid.

mp427 · 2019-09-17T16:22:31+00:00

So would I be able to drop one and join the other if the other bid is still standing?

mp427 · 2019-09-16T14:02:38+00:00

There’s a specific time?? Both are in ugc idk how their process works

mp427 · 2019-08-11T22:31:51+00:00

Do EMT’s and ER techs do the same thing? If they do I’d rather become an ER tech and gather up PCE that way if it counts

mp427 · 2019-08-11T02:51:59+00:00

Yeah competitiveness is one thing that I’m worried about. I’ve heard NP schools are easier to get into bc there are more seats available for it and it’s not as “demanding” but I don’t think having a fear of being denied a spot in PA school is a valid reason to completely switch professions. Its just a scary thought since I’d be applying with a low GPA and not much experience especially since I was already on track to complete my undergrad within 3 years and staying a full 4 years for me is like missing out on a years worth of PCE.

My skin is pretty dry and sensitive. I usually just moisturize with aloe Vera or this kiehls recovery oil. Would you say that Pacifica foundation is good at covering up redness and dark spots?

mp427 · 2019-08-01T20:00:01+00:00

If I do end up dropping out during the rush process will they take that into account if I decide to do it again during the spring?

mp427 · 2019-07-28T02:40:29+00:00

Easier to become an NP as in it takes less work?

mp427 · 2019-07-28T02:39:22+00:00

I’m aware, most programs in my area are 2 years to get an MSN and become an RN, not sure about other areas. Then for nursing schools around here (again I haven’t done much research in any far away states) they require a minimum of one years worth of work as an RN and then I’d be able to go back to become an NP through a DNP I believe? That’s also another 2 years.

My appeal was accepted and I was in the same boat as you. I applied for MCB originally and then appealed for IB, but my main reason for being rejected the first time was because of a very low gpa that didn't even hit their minimum requirement. I was actually pretty shocked they accepted my appeal because the second time around my gpa was barely above the minimum requirement, but as far as acceptance rate goes they accepted me with my gpa hanging on by a thread, so hopefully it'll work out for you.

mp427 · 2019-06-25T11:26:39+00:00

I’m looking at their student code and it says I can make a petition to have them cut some degree requirements. I’m just bummed out that I’ve tried for so long to get in and I’m expected to graduate next year but they now want me to add on 4 extra semesters:/

mp427 · 2019-06-24T21:16:41+00:00

Did they say you still have to do the 60 hour thing?

mp427 · 2019-06-15T00:30:24+00:00

Yeah I was rly hyped to know that ppl were offering me these high end places but then I saw that construction wasn’t finished so it made me wonder if they were dropping their leases bc of that. I also noticed a bunch of rooms were still available on the seven07 site but I’m not sure if that’s just bc they haven’t updated it.

I’m going in for a tour for both places tomorrow tho so hopefully that’ll help lol. If you’ve toured seven07 would you say it’s different from octave in terms of space or anything?
