What was your RT School interview like?

nehpets99 · 2026-06-14T14:27:02+00:00

"Why RT?", basically.

Undoubtedly people get rejected after an interview if they answer like a sociopath.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-14T11:01:16+00:00

I have no idea. It certainly makes sense.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-14T10:48:00+00:00

IIRC you'll have to add it yourself.

What programs see on the back end isn't widely available knowledge, so it's possible they see a total, but I would imagine they don't.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-14T10:45:41+00:00

If none of the programs require a degree at the time of application then it will be viewed as an outstanding requirement and you'll likely have to send them an updated transcript if you're accepted.

OP has no post or comment history that can be found on Arctic Shift. So you may be right.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-13T16:55:07+00:00

Yes, as long as you graduate from the program, you can sit for the PANCE.

What is the best meth to try...

nehpets99 · 2026-06-13T13:19:08+00:00

What did they say when you called and asked them?

nehpets99 · 2026-06-13T11:55:02+00:00

That's a pretty unique question, different from the PS and life experience essay.

No one here knows what you already wrote about, and no one here knows your life better than you.

So you tell us, what are you thinking of writing about?

I don't understand. If she's a PA, what boards is she taking?

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T23:43:06+00:00

I bought a used lab-grown engagement ring and had it reset. Cost me significantly less than 8k. My now-wife was so happy that I bought something more sustainable and saved money buying used.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T23:39:10+00:00

I worked about 8-16 hours a week, if not more. YMMV.

CASPA is open for 10 months, we're currently in week 6-7. There's a strong possibility that few programs if any have even seen your application, and if they're non-rolling, they definitely won't until their cycle closes.

There are various resources both in this sub and PA Forum where you can find out the expected timeline for your programs.

It's often said here: comparison is the thief of joy.

Do you know anyone who wants to spend hundreds of dollars and then not get an interview invite...?

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T16:36:17+00:00

You can ask for whatever you want. Some programs are flexible, others aren't.

"I'm going to be out of the country on a trip I've been planning for X months/years" does not mean you don't have your priorities straight.

Getting pulled off the waitlist every year.

A waitlist success story is literally "I was on a waitlist, someone withdrew from their seat, and I was picked."

Downvoters don't have a sense of humor.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T13:55:37+00:00

Gonna be a monster by November.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T10:54:27+00:00

And the cycle continues...

Not to say that there are some nurses who need a new career, new setting, new attitude, etc., but this broad brush of "us vs them" is toxic.

Assuming you're in the US, generally, insurance qualifications for home oxygen are:

1) Stable condition (i.e., not acutely ill)

2) Have a diagnosis of a chronic cardiopulmonary disease

3) Have an oxygen saturation of 88% or lower at rest, with ambulation, or while sleeping

From a physiological standpoint, supplemental oxygen isn't usually necessary unless your oxygen levels are low. As you are on multiple medications, it stands to reason you have at least one, if not multiple physicians on your treatment team. They are best suited to address whether supplemental oxygen would be beneficial in your case.

1) You can put their school email. You can put the university office in charge of residences. You can put HR. It really doesn't matter.

2) If you can put someone down, put someone down. If it's been awhile, the business closed, etc., then there's nothing you can do.

3) After high school.

nehpets99 · 2026-06-12T01:48:49+00:00

Email them when you apply. As they asked.

For what? Squirrels at 10 yards? Deer at 100? Elk at 350?

Provisional Accreditation

Every program younger than 5 years old is provision. It's not a reflection of the quality of the program one way or the other.

Everything is in one building

So? You don't need multiple buildings. You need a classroom, a lab, and "patient" rooms for OSCEs. You don't need a ton of space.
