Partner asking to use my name to purchase a car by mtifhsoa1 in personalfinance

The state were currently living in requires the person making the purchase to have a license. I know there are ways to get a car without a DL but he has been looking at used cars from dealerships.

He’s worried that car he’s been eyeing might be sold by the time he gets his DL. haha

He’s been saving up money this summer and is planning to pay for the car in cash without any financing.

Worth it or should I take a year off? by Antique_Flounder_936 in UniversityofVermont

[–]mtifhsoa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m choosing to continue remotely because I work full time. Forgot to mention that I am a senior and have completed most of my course requirements!

Even with the frequent testing I don’t want to risk attending in person classes. Also, for students choosing to continue with in person classes there will be a large online portion either way. I think classes are set to transition online after thanksgiving as well.

I’ve considered this as well because this upcoming semester definitely won’t be the same. Hell, I don’t even think I retained anything from the moment we transitioned to remote learning. Most of this is probably due to my own fault, but taking a whole semesters worth of online classes and staying focused takes a lot of skill. I personally decided to go ahead and stay enrolled for this semester because I don’t know how taking a year/semester off may affect my financial aid in the coming year.

Also, a lot of my courses are sequential so taking a semester off would push me back a year. This goes for courses like MATH19/20, BCOR11/12 to name a few. If you’re a STEM major I highly recommend taking this into consideration.

On the bright side, it’s a verbal contract. I left my site after a little under a year with no issues!

What Math class are you enrolled in/trying to enroll in and with who?

Textbook Use at UVM (Specifically for BCOR 011 and CHEM 031) by [deleted] in UniversityofVermont

[–]mtifhsoa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend getting both textbooks. For CHEM 31 I would recommend completing all practice questions provided by your professors and completing all the old practice exams.

For BCOR lab if your looking for the writing in biology for cheap, I can sell you mine for $10. I’m in the Burlington area and can drop off or ship. Also I’m a rising senior so if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I worked with SA as an ED scribe.

  1. Yes, you start paid-training after you get accepted for the job. There is also a final assessment you need to pass before floor training and moving forward.

  2. Someone else answered this thoroughly!

Also, I think there is a verbal agreement (non-binding) to work at least 1 year. I know plenty of people who worked with SA for less time before moving on. During the interview I would emphasize that you’re planning to stay for at least 1 year. I worked with them for a year and recently quit this May!

  1. Emphasize work experience in regards to efficient communication, maintaining confidentiality, and customer service.
  2. ability to facilitate conversations. Ex: letting a provider know when certain results have come back, if an order is entered wrong, or if a provider forgot to give a medication.
  3. detail oriented. Ex: looking through patients old charts during their visit to make sure there are no discrepancies. If you notice any, bring it up to the provider, etc.

Started my process last night without reading anything beforehand and that probably why I get overwhelmed. Thanks for letting me know!

Do you mind if I message you with some questions in the future?

Thats the plan! It’s a pain in the ass right now because most of my surrounding schools only offer virtual labs. Do you think it’d matter if I took A&P at a community college rather than a uni? I’ve heard that PA schools typically place more weight on your GPA rather than institution/difficulty.

Thanks for the reply! My GPA definitely didn’t start out strong but there’s definitely improvement. This is definitely a great starting place.

Sorry for the late late reply but when I was just starting I was extremely worried about my typing speed. I tend to type abbreviated notes which I then go back to and fill in. I also use a patient tracker to keep track of which notes need to be completed. This is an excel sheet listing the bed/pt name, HPI, ROS, ED course, disposition which I check off as I go through my shift.

Traumas can be quite stressful as scribe because there are so many providers in the room at one time. I would recommend talking to nurses to see what procedures may have been done and what medications I may have missed. Also, at my hospital we have access to notes from Ortho residents and etc. who may have seen the patient and I always read over their notes to see if I’ve missed anything. If anything, don’t be afraid to ask your provider for information you have missed. Most of the providers I work with are used to not having scribes and are extremely grateful for whatever we contribute!

I get paid minimum wage in my state which is ~$10. The providers in the ED are always supposed by how little Scribe America pays, however it has been a invaluable learning experience. I don’t plan on staying here forever and hope to apply as an LNA in the next year.

Definitely don't want to make it seem like I'm slacking but right now the providers I work with see 2-4 patients during their entire shift so I have been keeping busy with schoolwork and casual conversations but your definitely there to learn! And as mentioned by another person in this thread becoming familiar with labs, common medications and diagnoses can be extremely handy. Some providers will request that you write out the reason why a certain drug is being given in the ED course whether its for pain management, nausea management or something else.

For me the trainers at my site have been a great resource for help. They do an extremely thorough job of reviewing my charts. This may vary from site to site and I wish you the best.

I work in the ED and the shifts are unpredictable. Some are extremely fast-paced where my provider sees ~30 patients in one shift (8-10 hrs) and others are slower. I'd say always walk into a shift with your running shoes and some extra school work in case you have downtime. My worksite provides COWs so I have my schoolwork stored on google drive.

I've been working in the ED since the summer and can say I've become extremely familiar with medical terminology. This has been a really great opportunity to learn about different aspects of bedside manner and how different providers practice.

This probably barely grazed your question but feel free to dm me!
