Medical assistant resume in word 2003

I suffer from chronic migraine and cluster headache and have been in bed in the dark for the last few days because of recurring attacks. This morning I was in bed in the dark going through an attack and could hear people clap outside because of some local marathon happening. A marathon vehicle with sound system drove past and was playing a song that sounded like the voice of Michael Jackson. Keeping in mind I was in pain, had taken triptan medication and the shouting and clapping from members of the public outside was troubling me quite a bit. But I couldn't recognise the song and my brain just registered a few things in an attempt to have enough to be able to find out later. The only words it was able to register were "what i got" and "up the roof" or something about a roof? The style of the song was quite disco flavoured with prominent brass instruments (trumpets maybe?). I had a look online and it is not "Burn This Disco Out" or "Up On the Roof". If it's a song of his, it sounded really fun!

I posted about a month ago, a very controversial post :) that got 12 million views by accident. To sum it up since I deleted the post, I wrote that we had been together 8 years since meeting in college at a prestigious public-ivy, married since end of 2023.
I (27F) just started my last year of medical school and he (27M) just moved across the country to start his new job. I wrote, very superficially, that he made 315K a year, was 6'4, blue-eyed, owned a beautiful 1 acre home (queue I'm looking for a man in finance, 6'5, blue eyed...jokes!!) and that we'd be making 600K combined by 32. We had done a brief open relationship prior to engagement and with the recent move, we discussed re-opening the relationship just for casual company (san intercourse) only while we were doing distance. Some were questioning how I could trust the "sans intercourse" but this man is honest to a fault, has told me other people are much better at xyzzy but consistently reassures me that xyz doesn't make for a solid life-building partnership. During my birthday in April, and he had spent the whole week meeting other women. I wrote that he gave me 6K prior to leaving for my debts but I was in extreme emotional distress.

Half the thread called me superficial, I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. I grew up in a monetarily blessed but chaotic environment (mom was abusive, dad died from cancer when I was in high school) and after he died, money was always the forefront of our concerns. I emphasized that I grew up in one of the most expensive parts of CA where houses are $1.5 million average for a 1800sq place, and mom to this day has never earned more than 50K in her career in ministry. I'm taking 250K+ out in medical school loans, and I have merit scholarships of 65K total over the 4 years. It's stressful as hell, and why I emphasized it in my post. I clarified in the comments that we don't spend much on designer bags/cars/luxury apartments or anything. In total, we spend maybe $200 each on clothes/camping gear for him a year, had a wedding under 8K and an e-ring under 2K. We just want to build a legacy in the work we do, want to ensure our future kids are comfortable, and to start a meaningful fund for the community we end up living in.
That being said, the thread shifted my perspective so significantly, I have never felt luckier in my entire life as crazy as that sounds. We had a lot of conversations since the post was made, and I finally feel safe and secure in my marriage, a feeling I thought I would never feel with any man. He told me that as long as I gave him the word, the open relationship would end. I have yet to do say that, but he has not seen anyone since the post. He has his freedom but has chosen not to do anything and expressed a lack of interest in doing anything on his end.
I'm with a man who supports my career goals (side eye at Kansas Chief's Harrison), who provides both emotional and financial support, who makes me feel fully seen, who is so proud of me. He has consistently put my pursuits first and moved for my career years ago, and he'll do it again when residency comes. Tons of my colleagues are worrying about Hinge in residency and others worry about "the clock ticking" but I'm grateful that I have found my person.
Don't get me wrong, I read every single comment for the last few weeks. His actions were in poor taste but he is a good man. No man I've known or met is perfect, but he is recognizing that he can be too self-serving at times too. I'm a huge proponent of therapy, and that is working well. I am not encouraging anyone stay in a toxic situation at all, please don't if you are. Just an encouragement for those out there that sometimes there's an opportunity to both grow together, in a way that doesn't constitute divorce. We're committed to improving individually and together and will continue building so cheers to that.
I set a reminder in my calendar to update in 10 years. All the best to everyone, nothing but gratitude and positivity.

No, I'm not exaggerating. Hello. You may have seen me describe it before on schizophrenia. Or psychosis in earlier years. About how much I could do with my voices. They were alive. They were sentient. I thought they were real. I thought I was plural. I thought I had other mental health issues instead of being schizophrenic because they have to be real right? I mean, they're so... sentient. They're so alive. They touch me when they say they're gonna touch me. They come up with their own ideas. Damn good ideas. I could write about these. They're so... real.
That's what we as schizophrenics go through. If anyone is browsing to get an idea about what it's like being schizophrenic, your brain brings these voices to life. Some of us experience real voices like humans. We can hold conversations with them, meaningful ones. They know our every thought. They can be so good. They can be so sadistic and come up with torturous methods to use on you. I know my voices did when I was off my medication. But when I was on it, my favorite four would come out and we'd cuddle in bed and laugh and do all kinds of things together. Even have sex.
They were real! No, they're not real. Nothing makes these hallucinations real. But my god, did they feel real! I believed it! I read things online, things that just fed my delusions. I won't go into detail, but it was a long two year delusion while I tried med after med to get rid of the bad voices. I tried everything. I tried working with good ole' John and compromising and asking him why he hated me. And he'd lead me down delusions and all kinds of other bullshit. And I believed it until something started telling me it wasn't real. Or he'd slip up and wires would cross. But when you're gone, you'll lie to yourself, too. You'll tell yourself, "No, haha, I don't remember things correctly sometimes. :) This real memory? Could be fake. Therefore, it's still real! Haha!" You have no idea how far your brain will go. To keep you there. To keep you deep in that delusion.
These voices are real, and I want you to understand. If you ever feel humiliated or disgusted or confused as to why you followed what they told you to do. Or if you fear them like nothing else. If you feel like you can't even take one single word from them. And you're petrified of what hearing the TV on in the other room means for you. I dated my voices. They were real. People told me, experienced veterans out of psychosis, told me they weren't real. And I'd just nod my head. And laugh. Because they're real. They're sentient. Meds don't take them away. I love them. They'll be here. Forever. Because I may not even be schizophrenic. I may have something else instead. Or I might be schizophrenic and it makes them real, separate consciousnesses from me.
Never. Feel. Bad.

this is a safe space for all leos/prominent leo placements to vent about their recent life xo.
I'll start:

• got fired for the first time EVER cause i got sexually harrassed @ work by another chick that worked there and complained. also the assistant manager had some sort of crush on me and got pissed i rejected her. (sheesh, she was cute tho)
  
• got kicked out of my apartment for noise complaint. blasted my speaker in the mornings cause my roommate was a sex worker that would bring random men to the house at late hours and have the LOUDEST SEX. i in turn became sleep deprived and lost the plot (oh no).
  
• got handcuffed on my own balcony, suffered police brutality lite.
  
• almost OD'd on new medication for my bipolar, found out it was the wrong meds (oh no).
  
• got sent to the psych ward and subsequently released cause they deemed me safe (duh).
  
• after my grippy socks adventure! i go to my aunts and become increasingly paranoid until i fimally am able to sleep properly.
  
• sleep deprivation is fucking dangerous for your mental health. DO NOT move in with a ketamine addict and a sex worker if you want to preserve in los angeles.
  
• make a plan to exit the country temporarily for my own sanity.
  
• can't dislike people despite the craziness.
  
• finds inner peace and nothing affects me anymore (yay)
  

Hi. I am currently 25 years old. I started a LPN nursing course a month ago. I hate it a lot. However, I worked as a nurse assistant and a paramedic and it was tolerable and I can tolerate nursing. Also, the course is only 18 months, it costs nothing, and it will give me a almost guaranteed job, and I’m at the top of my class.
I would like to go in computer science. I already did databases, programming classes many years ago. I don’t have the courage to do a bachelor’s in computer science. It’s too expensive. And I want to move out of my parent’s house as fast as possible. Here’s my plan : Complete the LPN program (18 months) to secure a stable job and financial independence. Work as an LPN while saving money. Take online in my free time to build my skills and resume. Do a bachelor’s in CS Transition to a tech role once I have enough savings and experience to make the switch feasible. So what do you think of this plan? Are there any more efficient plans?

Original thread here
I just wanted to provide an update as I know not many threads get them. She did end up meeting with an oncologist who (imo) was dragging their feet getting her a proper MRI....while waiting for the appointment for it, her health declined so badly she needed the emergency room as she was in so much pain and couldn't lift herself out of bed.
She was admitted and put on pain meds immediately while they ran tests. They did confirm she has stage 4 cancer, a type of malignant melanoma that has spread to her spine causing the weakness and loss of use of her legs.
She's to start chemo shortly and has just had a line put in, they're going to hold her until they see the cancer responding to the chemo. They said they believe they caught it early enough and while it's stage 4 it's not as bad as it sounds and they're confident she'll respond to treatment...
I'm upset it took this long to get her help but I'm glad she finally is there getting treatment. I don't have access to her chart to see any actual paperwork yet so all I have to go on is what she tells me.
This has been so hard to deal with but I just wanted to thank those who left a kind word or helpful advice.
Info for the bot: 62 year old Hispanic female, 230 lbs, United States, no prior medications or diagnosis.

I had a medical issue occur earlier this year and racked up medical bills. I wasn’t able to make payments because I just couldn’t afford it and I’ve been busy with figuring out how to pay for essentials & just stay afloat. I applied for financial assistance but it’s been under review and the 90 day period since my initial bill has passed so I found out that I got sent to collections yesterday. I’m calling first thing tomorrow to see if I can get the debt recalled from collections and getting set up on a payment plan. I’ve already realized that I’ll likely have to amend my bar application and report this to the bar - but I’m wondering if this will sabotage me completely since this is something actively occurring right after graduating from law school (as opposed to a debt from years ago). Would getting the debt recalled be more beneficial in my case? Not banking on it completely, so I’m also trying to figure out what would happen in the worst case scenario, which I’m assuming is keeping it in collections. Definitely freaking out a bit! Thanks in advance.

If you saw my recent post, you’d know. Well I tried, and it failed horribly. I never want to experience this again. I did not end up going to the hospital because I did not want anyone to know why I had to. I did not want to explain to the ED what happened or why I am there, especially as a medical student.
I don’t know what to do. I’m in horrible crippling debt. The hospital I work in has destroyed my confidence — remarks of me being useless and worthless, deserving of being walked all over. The verbal and mental abuse I faced by this doctor is still lingering over my head everyday and this was about a year ago. Being a medical student isn’t just about the debt, but also the toxicity of what the school itself brings. I’m merely a customer. That’s all. My own school has been mentally abusive to me. But this hospital I work at, the doctor just ruined me completely with his remarks.
Haven’t seen my family in years. Mainly only phone calls. I have no friends. It’s so isolating. I don’t get out of bed and I’m still in bed because I am so depressed. I don’t take care of myself anymore.
I want to give up but I am too scared. I don’t know where to start. I have nothing but 200k+ hovering over my head that I will owe forever.
It’s not the debt that is the worst part, it’s the treatment that I’ve had to endure after several years. I can handle so much and that doctor really put me to the edge. I don’t even have to physically see him… He just lingers in my mind all the time and his words are on repeat and have been for several months. I don’t wish him any harm but the way he treated me was so awful that I have internalized his words and they’re now embedded.
I can’t believe someone has this much power over me. I don’t hate him but I’ve never disliked someone this much. I never want anyone to be harmed but I don’t wish him any good. Mentally he’s ruined me. I had already gone through so much — being exhausted, sleepless nights, no one to call, no friend, family that I can’t vent to, depression, isolation, toxicity in medical school, I was drugged and r*ped, which in itself was a long process of me reporting and then it going no where. Months of getting over that..
And then this guy comes along and completely leaves me empty. I was broken, but now there’s nothing left cause of his abusive words.

Long story short is, I live with my grandmother who has been gradually declining due to dementia the past couple years. It's been a struggle, and she has definitely declined a lot this year. But overall, I think I've been handling it well: I manage her finances, her medications, most of her doctor's appointments, and food. My uncle (her son) is officially her Power of Attorney and Next of Kin, but isn't really around a whole lot — I suspect that he doesn't want to deal with it much.
After my grandfather died of COVID a couple years ago, we all got together and used the life insurance money to pay off the house. Talked with a lawyer, I'm on the deed, and I'm set to inherit the house when my grandmother passes away. Recently, my aunt arranged a will and made sure to explain to it to my grandma when she was in a good state of mind to understand, and she did.
Good standing, I'd say.
But lately, I've been worried about end-of-life care. What happens if my grandma declines to a point where she needs to go to a nursing home? She's already declined so much this year alone, and while it's still manageable, I know it's going to get worse. The final decision will be up to my uncle and not me should that time come. I had never looked into the costs of nursing homes/assisted living facilities, but... yeah, it's expensive.
My grandmother is not on Medicaid, just Medicare. Medicare would only pay for the first 90 or so days. So for anything long-term, she would have to go on Medicaid, and they would pay for it. However, Medicaid could put a lien on the house and take it once she passes — leaving me totally screwed over.
So needless to say, I would want to avoid nursing homes just for financial reasons for as long as possible. But I still worry about her declining to a point that I can't take care of her anymore. I already work full-time and I'm already stretched completely thin. But I endure because I love her and also, selfishly, this is my one shot at home ownership. I'm 28, and like most millennials, I will never own a home otherwise, and I'm also on the autism spectrum so I've always struggled in making it on my own. I have been so lucky that my grandparents have not only allowed me to stay here, but have always wanted to leave the place to me so that I'll always have a home.
But all of that would leave me totally screwed over if my grandma goes to a home and Medicaid takes the house.
Sorry if this is a selfish question. I just want to know some of the logistics behind this specific situation and if there's anything I (or my uncle and aunt) should know to protect myself. It just sucks that this country fucks over poor people so much.

In many psychopathy related online debates, there is this pseudo-scientific distinction between Sociopathy (environment) and Psychopathy (born with) and all associated misconceptions about how neurology works. Here a quick overview about how the misconception of these beliefs are classified in academic literature, followed by a quick criticism on their own classification, followed by the consequences. Bypassly, a bunch of information I share with you between the lines:

"Genetic determinism is linked to essentialist reasoning, which can be understood as the view that every entity, including biological traits, contains an immutable underlying essence that predicts similarities between members of a group (Gelman, 2003). Genetic determinism can be regarded as the biological component of essentialism (Keller, 2005), but it is generally considered to be a lay concept deserving independent and focused attention. As Dar-Nimrod and Heine (2011) argue, essentialist thinking can be reinforced by a superficial understanding of genetics, in which genes take the role of concrete placeholders for essentialist ideas. Such an understanding of genetics tends to inaccurately attribute an overactive, primary, or even exclusive determining power to the gene. However, recent developments in genomics and epigenetics have reinforced the notion of gene action as probabilistic and mutually interdependent with the environment, (...)" (Genetics Education p. 108)

In contrast, is the view that humans are born as a blank sheet of paper, a view held by popular philosophers essential to contemporary views on personal identity and personhood in general.

"The empiricist philosopher John Locke expressed the idea that humans acquire all or almost all of their behavioral traits from nurture, claiming that the human mind is a tabula rasa, and that mental functions and behaviors develop solely from environmental influences" (p. 109)

Since biological determinism is considered a "layman's belief", where does this idea come from? There have been studies looking at the distribution of said theory across cultures and is considered a universal concept (p. 112) The study looked into how much genetic-influence is overestimated across Europe, North America, and South America on traits.

"Gericke et al. (2017) reported that bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcoholism and, to a lesser degree, intelligence, severe depression, attention defcit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and violent behavior scored lower for genetic deterministic beliefs among the participants of the study, when compared to heritability scores from the literature, whereas only two traits—related to the biological component (diabetes and breast cancer)—scored higher, indicating genetic overattribution. Hence, there was, among the Brazilian students involved in the study, a tendency to attribute less power to genes for social and mental traits, compared to biological traits." (p. 113)

Without going into further detail, the results show that the opposite of the hypothesis is true. Most people underestimate genetical influence. Another striking result is that there is still a strong underlying belief in mind-body dualism; with phenotypical traits associated with "genetics" and mental traits to be considered "environmental". For example, ADHD's is indeed strongly linked to genetics.
This is also indicative that people are willing to blame for mental disabilities, believed to have control over, but not to external forms of disability, even when the risk factor is increased by one's actions (for example, in the case of breast cancer).
Interestingly, genetic determinism is not that popular among layman as thought, despite being mistakenly proposed in much literature.

"While some traits—the same fve in each country—showed elevated rates of genetic overattribution, rarely did a majority of respondents endorse a deterministic response. To conclude, this large study in three countries from three different continents did not support the idea that genetic determinism is a general and widespread belief. This general finding of low overall genetic overattribution was also reported by Gericke et al. (2017) in the same sample of Brazilian undergraduates (using a distinct analytical approach), as well as by Willoughby et al. (2019) for laypeople in the United States. However, it is at odds with other prior literature (e.g., Dar-Nimrod & Heine, 2011; Keller, 2005; Nelkin & Lindee, 2004). Several authors have previously reported BGD to be a widespread phenomenon in common discourse (Keller, 2000; Nelkin & Lindee, 2004), in the media (Condit et al., 2001), and in school textbooks (Gericke et al., 2014)." (p. 118 [this quote is probably the most interesting one])

For those who got curious now about "what to belief then everything thought before turns out to be wrong", here comes salvation:

"Although the topic is complex, there is consensus that the interplay between genes and environment is a core idea of genetic literacy (Boerwinkel et al., 2017). Fifty-seven experts participating in a delphi study brought to light the genetics knowledge that is relevant for laypeople in the twenty-frst century. Nine knowledge categories of genetic literacy emerged. One of them addressed understanding M. Hammann (*) · J. C. S. Zang Zentrum für Didaktik der Biologie, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Münster, T. Heemann Kardinal-von-Galen-Gesamtschule Nordwalde, Nordwalde, Germany 128 multiple and interactive causation of genetic phenomena: “Multiple genes and multiple environmental factors interact in the development of most traits.” Some experts even argued that gene-environment interaction was the most relevant category of all." (p. 128)

In regards to psychopathy and the resurfacing debate about heritable traits, it is important to note that "teach that the environment can influence cell functioning through changes at the protein level" and " that environmental factors can cause mutations in genes, or alter gene expression". In other words, genes are not hard-coded stones flowing through our bodies like gears, but mutable and flexible, soft and alterable molecules-compounds.
Unfortunately, however,

"educational standards inadequately address the impact of the environment on genes and their products (Dougherty et al., 2011), high-school textbooks provide only limited discussions on genetic and environmental influences on multi-factorial diseases (Hicks et al., 2014) and omit the impact of the environment on gene expression altogether (Aivelo & Uitto, 2015; Martínez-Gracia et al., 2006), trait-formation tasks in high-school textbooks hardly ever address the role of the environment in trait formation (Heemann & Hammann, 2020), internet websites fail to address gene–environment interactions (Cheng et al., 2008), and media portrayals emphasize genetic infuences and diminish environmental on"

The educational services' attempt to combat biological determinism and racism kinda backed-fired, when this led to many students largely adopting Locke's view, as seen in the following pages of the quoted paper, which is that people are a product of their environment and education, neglecting the genetic influence. On the other hand, people who are "self-taught", are probably mostly confronted with a pseudo-intellectual oversimplification of biological determinism, leading to "self-taught people", to accept "the harsh reality" in contrast to "liberal educational systems in which everything is soft switching environmental factors". This could also explain the phenomena of LARPerpathy.
If we want to get political, this also explains why a lot of younger people are "left-leaning".
Hopefully, this helps to understand why the nurture vs nature debate itself, is outdated and arguably a layman debate in itself.

It’s crazy to me that it’s been said there are not enough moments of indication that Colin’s personality when he returns is a facade. I think the writers did a great job sprinkling in moments throughout the episodes. I don’t really know how they could’ve been anymore clearer. Episode 1 probably has the least amount of moments, but you do get the one lord telling Colin that’s he’s more fun than he was before (playing into his insecurities), but Colin still immediately ditches him to check on Penelope. And there are comments from Anthony and Benedict asking where their brother went as well. I also think bringing back presents for every family member is quite indicative of his inherent kind-hearted nature.
In episode 2, you of course have the infamous brothel scene, and on the surface Colin appears to have enjoyed himself. But I think it’s crucial that a few scenes later you hear in Colin’s own words that he feels disconnected during sex. And he doesn’t understand why because he can acknowledge how beautiful the women are. You get the sweet and playful scene with Penelope where he recounts how they met as children and laments the fact that they didn’t care what society thought about them then and now they must as adults.
Episode 3 is really where everything starts falling apart. That Casanova persona is coming crashing down, and it’s all because of one kiss. Colin is so awkward with his family after the sexy dream. The words he’s saying don’t make much sense. He’s following Penelope around like a lost puppy. There’s the willow tree scene where he can’t express how he feels (a lot of word salad there) and just follows Penelope’s lead about ending the lessons despite so badly wanting her to acknowledge their kiss. The Colin who had a smooth line for every debutant is now at a complete lost for words when staring into Penelope’s eyes (man was about to kiss her if Debling didn’t interrupt). The roles are even reversed, and he becomes the wallflower in the corner watching Penelope dance with Debling.
Episode 4 really drives all of this home. Colin loves Penelope, but does not want to ruin what he thinks is her happiness with Debling. So he tries one last time to resume the facade because that’s all that’s left for him if he is to have a life without Pen, but he just can’t do it. I know some people say they wish he had just left in the second brothel scene, but I think it’s much more satisfying from a storytelling perspective to have him straight up dissociating in that scene. That man was not present in his body. The scene with the other lords is one of my favorites. You get confirmation that Colin never has given them details about his sexual exploits despite being pressured to do so, again showing that he’s not cut out for the life of a rake. You see him lash out at his peers (and himself for associating with such men) for their cavalier behavior which I don’t believe we’ve ever seen any of the other male leads do. Of course he gets laughed at for this, and the only thing left to numb his pain is alcohol. The Colin who stumbles into his bedroom late at night is a very broken and lost man. We get Violet’s speech about how he’s always been one of her most sensitive children and how he’s put on an armor to please others. He remembers the hand cutting scene when he’s contemplating what to do, and I think this is a lovely choice because that was a moment of Penelope providing him the care and tenderness he doesn’t get anywhere else. And then if the audience still somehow didn’t get the point, you have Colin telling Penelope that he was trying to feel less because that is what society expected of him, but she made that impossible. And in that carriage, the true Colin has reemerged. He’s unsure and sweet and attentive to Penelope’s wants and needs. He’s making jokes again. He’s finally free to be himself because Penelope allows him to be without any judgment. I really don’t know how much more the writers could’ve done.

The arrow in the center is a tab stop
This is a PSA to everyone trying to format their resume with dates on the right side of the page. If you want to keep them aligned, then it may benefit you to learn about what tab stops are. There are 4 kinds of tab stops: right, left, center, and decimal. On Google Docs they look like little blue arrows on the ruler. Microsoft Word/Libreoffice use different symbols that vaguely resemble Tetris pieces.
Look closely at the ruler to see the grey tab stops
To the left of the ruler, LibreOffice/MicrosoftWord will show one of the symbols for tab stops. All you need to do to set a tab stop is click on that symbol until it becomes the stop you're looking for, then click anywhere on the ruler to set one there. You can drag them to reposition on the ruler. Dragging them beyond the boundaries of the margins deletes them. The blue arrows are formatting marks that indicate that I hit the Tab key. As you can see, instead of the standard 4 spaces, the Tab key advances the cursor to whereever the closest tab stop is, starting left to right.
Using tab stops will result in more consistent formatting throughout your resume. It also keeps your resume 1-column instead of resorting to things like 2-columns or inserting a table. This makes it easier for automatic parsers to read and digest the information in your resume. Anytime you want to have 2+ pieces of information separated on the same line, you should consider using a tab stop. See the bottom line in the next image.
If you want to see all these blue marks in your resume, go to the View and check \"Formatting Marks\". You probably have a lot of extraneous tabs/white-spaces in your resume, and that can make it difficult to parse.
That concludes this Public Service Announcement. Thank you.

Hi I am 17M and I am looking to becoming a dental hygienist in the future. I was discussing with my uncle who works as an RN but started off as a CNA about becoming a dental hygienist for guidance as he is the only one in my family in the medical field and only one who went to college. I told him about the 1 year of pre-requisites I would take and a 2 year AS Dental Hygiene course and ultimately get licensed once I pass the board exam. He recommended me to first do a Dental Assistant course which would take roughly a year. He also recommended me to do only a few of my pre requisites and becoming fluent in Spanish as it will help getting a job faster since I live in Los Angeles. alongside so I don't have much pressure because I will also be balancing a job. After I pass the dental assistant program he says to then finish up the rest of my prerequisites while working as a dental assistant so I can gain experience that way and build connections with various Dental Clinics and also have a source of income. Once I finish my pre-requisites I will apply to the AS program for Dental Hygiene and there is no guarantee I will be accepted to one due to limited seats and even if I do get accepted there is no guarantee on how many attempts it may take me to pass the board exam and even find a hygienist job. Do you think I should follow this or rather just do all my pre-requisites and then the 2 year program straight away?

Hello there. I am currently a third year physician assistant student and I am home for the summer. I worked as a medical assistant last summer, doing tasks like obtaining medical history, getting vitals, and cleaning rooms. I have a pretty good understanding of electronic medical records. The previous job was in dermatology and they did not require me to have any special certification. I also want to add that I was not scribing for them because they didn’t want to train me for just one summer of work. They were not able to have me back this summer and I really would like to work another medical assistant job. It is tough because most indeed applications require certification, but I have experience and I think with my PA education I would be qualified to do the job. Does anyone have any ideas of where I can apply?

I'm continuing to check in on my progress in case it's helpful for anyone else. I'm switching from Prozac 10mg to Lexapro 5mg after a two-day pause in between. Hoping to treat anxiety and dysthymia (chronic mild depression).
The headline of week 5 seems to be that my side effects are declining, but nothing super exciting is happening in terms of positive effects. My anxiety is probably lower overall, but until/unless the dysthymia budges as well, it's hard to feel excited about that, since mild depression plus mild fatigue minus anxiety usually results in just sitting around feeling unmotivated and gloomy.
That said, I'm on a very low dose so it might not be reasonable to expect major positive effects. I still plan to stick it out for at least 8 weeks on this dose to give it a fair shot so I don't increase unnecessarily (since this could also increase the amount of side effects I have to deal with long term and give me less runway to increase the dose down the road if it ever stops working for me).
Week 1:

• Mild headaches in the mornings of the first couple of days
• Intermittent sleepiness or restlessness/agitation (more of a refusal to settle down and focus on one thing rather than a need to move)
• Dry mouth
• Constipation starting around day 2
• Anxiety felt a little... different? Not gone but a little bit of a new vibe, like it was more distant and not grabbing onto real-life concerns
• Sometimes having a bit of trouble remembering a word or picking up a train of thought
• Vivid dreams! I actually enjoy these though.
• Notably, I didn't seem to get ANY nausea, and no remarkable insomnia (maybe a bit more trouble drifting off occasionally?)

Week 2:

• Falling into a pattern of mild depression in mornings (a feeling of bleakness and disinterest in doing anything), and the weird distant anxiety in evenings
• Lots of sleepiness in the morning, seem to be able to sleep in as long as I let myself
• Constipation may be improving but I upped my Miralax dose a lot
• Probably some sexual side effects but hard to tell, as Prozac also caused these for me; I'm ultimately hoping to find a medication that doesn't do this but willing to give this one a while if the med works otherwise, especially since there are reports that this is sometimes temporary for lexapro users
• Difficulty swallowing has returned along with lack of appetite (these are anxiety symptoms for me), but not as severe as it was pre-prozac; I was kind of expecting this during the transition period since anxiety gets worse before it gets better
• Vivid dreams remain; occasionally these have been nightmares but still consider this side effect more interesting than bad

Week 3

• Noticing more sleepiness throughout the day, not sure if it's actually getting worse or I'm just more aware of it because I was more forgiving of it early on and now it's been going on long enough to start to have impacts on my life functioning; on some days I haven't wanted to get up in the morning and then have started thinking about going to bed in the late afternoon
• Still weird/vivid dreams; I think I'm also waking up a bit more frequently in the night but without trouble getting back to sleep
• Anxiety seems in the 'normal' range for me, which is higher than I want it to be but not necessarily heightened any additional amount by the med adjustment
• Also kind of gloomy and demotivated which seems to go hand in hand with the sleepiness
• Maybe some trouble concentrating
• Sexual side effects continuing
• Constipation seems to be gone
• Low appetite but less difficulty with eating and swallowing

Week 4

• Some very sleepy, brainfoggy days, others where I felt more normal
• Mood was still mostly in the range where I would expect it to be when unmedicated (one morning did feel like a more positive mood)
• Sexual side effects continuing
• Appetite was high
• Lots of vivid dreams
• More insomnia (trouble falling asleep, waking up during the night) but still not enough to be a dealbreaker

Week 5

• Some mornings were more groggy, others were more alert. I wasn't noticing major fatigue symptoms outside of the mornings as much but I think I'm still sleepier than my unmedicated baseline
• Once or twice I noticed brainfoggy symptoms like having trouble finding the word I wanted or losing my train of thought
• Vivid dreams are continuing but I'm starting to get dreams with less stressful plotlines more often
• Sexual side effects seem to have faded
• Appetite is good
• Still having occasional insomnia and usually waking up once or twice in the night to use the bathroom, (which doesn't happen to me off meds); this isn't super bothersome for me as I fall back asleep easily
• I feel like my baseline anxiety levels are probably lower, though I did have a couple of anxiety spirals in response to specific events; the fact that they were noteworthy and countable seems like a positive sign
• 2 brief (a few hours) phases of what felt like a break from my dysthymia

My PCP diagnosed me with CFS/ME last year. I have experienced debilitating, bedridden weeks. It destroyed me in so many ways.
Prior to my diagnosis they really didn't do many exhaustive tests at all. I was trusting doctors to know what tests to do to rule out symptoms and trusting my PCP's judgement when she provided me with the CFS/ME diagnosis. It also just felt like I had an answer finally with having the label because in my head it seemed to accurately describe the level of drain I felt.
But after suffering and suffering, and after it seeming to get worse even after taking several different liquid supplements and focusing hard in nutrition and not pushing myself, I decided to fight. I started looking at the resources on this sub and decided I was going to check everything off the list provided in the FAQ to have the doctor's test for.
I had to negotiate with a cardiologist to refer me to another sleep specialist after a different sleep specialist waved me away stating that so long as I wasn't falling asleep while driving this was a normal amount of fatigue for women to feel (yes really, almost word for word what he said). The cardiologist agreed to refer me to someone different, and this new sleep specialist did an in-hospital sleep test.
When that came back negative for apnea, the sleep specialist attempted to pass it off as just depression and anxiety. I pushed, stating that I have been seeing a psychologist for three years who wanted me to rule out medical issues. After some convincing he put an order in for several blood tests. TSH, TS4 [thyroid], B12, vitamin D3, basic metabolic panel, CBT, B9, etc.
These tests came back showing everything normal, except I was .01 away from being hypercalcemic and severely deficient for vitamin D3. When vitamin D3 deficiency persists, it can influence the functioning of the HPA axis, which in turn influence other functions of the body that regulate things like calcium uptake and the body's ability to hold setatonin and dopamine—and also may cause the symptom of debilitating chronic fatigue among other issues.
I'm taking 50,000 units of D3 once a week for 8 weeks in addition to what's in my multivitamin and in addition to doing light therapy. I was also prescribed Effexor XL to treat mental health side effects, since chronically high cortisol levels can also contribute to chronic fatigue.
It's too early to tell whether this will work or not. But I wanted to make this post to just hammer home to do the battery of tests and treatments whether you've been formally diagnosed or not. The medical system is a human system. I have given you the TLDR version and left out several other urgent care doctors and other specialists who simply refused to run any tests because in their opinion I was being an attention seeking patient and had "generalized anxiety disorder" in my records.
Especially if you're female and especially if you DO have an anxiety or stress disorder and live in the US, it is very likely you will have to assert yourself and push for tests. Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking fatigue is normal or that there isn't anything more doctors can do until you know all tests have been exhausted. To be honest I'm not even sure how I ended up with a CFS/ME diagnosis with how little testing was done initially—I'm not sure that was supposed to happen or how that conclusion was made so early. Maybe it is the case, but do the tests anyways.

Hi ladies! I just applied for the 16 weeks welding certificate program at my local community college. To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about welding or any trades for that matter. I am a single mom to 1.5 year old twin boys and want to give them the best life possible.
I was a vet assistant for 3 years but the pay was terrible so I left my dream job to find something to pay my worth and make a decent living. I currently work in a factory making decent money but it’s unskilled work. I want to be a valuable employee with valuable skills which is why I enrolled in the welding program.
I would like to pursue a local union once I finish my certificate. The idea of applying to the union now with absolutely no experience or knowledge scares me. I also have no idea what the union aptitude test is like or if I would even pass it. I am hoping the certificate will give me a little insight to the aptitude testing. I’d like to think I’m fairly smart, and I love school… however, math has always been my weakness.
I’m not really sure where I’m going with this post. Maybe someone here will understand or relate. Words of advice or encouragement. What to expect, do’s and dont’s, etc. If you’ve made it this far, thanks for listening.
