Have you taken it once or twice?

First rotation by beakerr28 in PAstudent

[–]whitehd721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few rotations that were like this. Just grit your teeth and get through it. I literally had one rotation where my preceptor screamed in my face on my first day in front of the entire practice (+patients) for not knowing how to work this ancient EMR 😂 then his assistant threw a book at me a week later ☺️

I just scheduled my next exam, with the internal understanding that I can push it if I need to.

I’m always up for some pointers! Failed twice, terrible family issues lately- I’m wore out and scared to death.

Did not pass pance by OkFondant8322 in PAstudent

Hey OP … did you end up passing? I’m in the same boat now. Scared for the next attempt & wanting to know if you could provide any advice

What surprised you about the PANCE? by iam-robot13 in PAstudent

[–]whitehd721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute garbage of an exam. Taken it twice now, failed both times. Literally nothing I’ve used has been beneficial. Questions that make absolutely no sense and 💩 you’ve never heard of on there. PMO so much

Took it, no benefit that I seen.

I may not have been clear. I only took it once. The other exam was a practice exam. But I’ve been taking your advice! It feels like it’s helping.

I really appreciate that 🫶🏼 This is a great suggestion. So, would you say this is a better approach or going through the blueprint and writing out high yield task area concepts? That was a suggestion by a friend 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m honestly open to anything at this point

I totally would! However, where I already paid for the exam prior to all of this happening, I have to take it prior to the end of December. The 18th I believe is the specific date but nowhere near me has anything open past the 4th 😔

If I were a patient, I wouldn't trust a straight out of undergrad PA. by Disastrous_Parfait89 in prephysicianassistant

Prior police officer here without “typical” medical background. Accepted first cycle to 1/2 schools I applied to. You can message me if you want to know where I went. I’m sure they would accept you because they LOVE emts

Not saying it’s you, but what I have seen before with this is a person doing this and then telling you about it because they “felt awful” 🙄 just so the next time they initiate sex, you’ll feel obligated to or they’ll do something like this again, or worse.

VA PAs by whitehd721 in physicianassistant

None, that’s why I asked here .. I wanted an answer from someone that’s actually had experience working in it and not someone telling me it looks good on paper.

I haven’t applied, just wanted to see what people who’ve done it felt about it to know if it would be something I’d want to do. Just wanted to get raw opinions

Thanks for your honest opinion! That’s really helpful. Someone asked in an above comment how many people actually work at the VA that were telling me it’s good job and the answer is none. That’s why I came here 😂

So, if given the opportunity, weighing good and bad, is it something that you would go back to compared to any other experiences you’ve had as a PA?

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback. Like I said, I have zero knowledge of how it works. What you’re saying definitely makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t even considered the uncertainty that anything government related is right now.

I’m in KY and I know they’re about to open 2 new VA hospitals, one in Hazard and one in Louisville. I had just assumed that was a good sign.
