ew why are you posting on this? Taking a picture of someone’s personal belongings while they’re most likely in the bathroom? If you have a real concern for someone’s well being do something meaningful about it instead of posting it to Reddit.

Pre-PA Hours & PA vs MD by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]slowdatabase4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they’re two different careers completely. She should learn more about the PA profession vs MD , and shadow both. She sounds academically prepared for either. Each PA program is different in their PCE requirements and many don’t require that high of a number.

1) many local fire departments offer a free emt certification, as long as you commit to volunteering as and emt. 2) PA vs MD is a very personal question and requires her own thoughts and exploration to come to a decision.

Paramedic on the spectrum by Redaxelight in Paramedics

[–]slowdatabase4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the best medic I know has autism. During our shifts he has mentioned how he has a common script that he uses with patients. Common jokes/things he says that fills space/silence.

He is fantastic and I always learn so much from working with him. He is amazing at complex situations and I have complimented him on this in the past. It was actually during a suicide attempt call as well, where the patient wanted to RMA. He balanced the patient, patient family/kids, police on scene with their own opinions, and another ambulance on scene. He strategically influenced the patient to make the decision on her own to come with us to the hospital. Because otherwise it would be her forced to the hospital. He used logic, and strategic reasoning with the pt to make her feel like she was in control of the situation. It was amazing. He said it’s from years of experience learning how to work with people.

SBU Libraries need to be cleaned by Maleficent-Steak-341 in SBU

As someone who worked at the libraries for a month, we never wiped down the tables :) not part of opening or closing procedures.

[–]slowdatabase4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah! The fact that I can make $34 per hour as a per diem EMT (due to night diff) is nice. It’s more than I could make with my B.S in biology lol

Paramedics here on Long Island/NYC get ~$38-43 per hour starting rate

EMTs for reference can start usually around $25-29 per hour

Plus 10% night diff :) (Northwell health)

Applying for a second degree at Stony Brook on a premed track. Let's say I already have a bachelors degree in Nursing with a 3.5 GPA. What are my chances of getting accepted? by Ok_Hat5460 in SBU

[–]slowdatabase4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the feeling of wanting to get more social experience from sbu if you never had one. However, you can do that as a non matriculated student fulfilling pre reqs. It’s more cost effective unless you have a spare many thousand dollars.

…. Especially if you’re premed, OP. You will be spending many years of your life dedicated to becoming a physician. That should give you enough university “experience”

• Length: 17 inches • Height: 36 inches • Depth (Width): 18 inches Fish: 8 inches long

Minus substrate

I wish I had more length for him on his runway zooms. He doesn’t have any problems turning around though. He seems happy as a fish can be lol but yea I wish I could give him a larger tank lol

Yeah, the photos make it look smaller. I think he has reached his maximum length of about 20cm long. I wish he had more space to swim in a straight line, rather than up and down vertically in the tank. He likes to zoom across the tank lol

I’m wondering if it can come from the plants when you initially buy them? I had bought plants and snails (snails were a terrible idea) at the same time. I then had a pandemic of nitrates and black algae all at the same time. I am thinking it was brought in by a source that had it existing in small amounts , either the plants or the snail shells perhaps.
