To preface this, I work in a pediatric setting. I know they aren't new, but good night. From experience, it feels like we already are seeing a)more injuries and traumas and b) the outpacing of injuries and traumas caused by analog bikes by their battery-powered counterparts. The acuity is typically higher and it is an absolute nightmare. They can reach speeds as high as 30+mph(48+kmh). There is no regulation surronding them. Summer just started and it looks like it will be a busy one.

Just need hope

The program I interviewed at is sending out decisions by June 1st and I havent heard anything. I have a BS in a science field with a 3.6 GPA. I have been working part time for a few years now so I have well over 2000 hrs of patient care experience. Ive done this while being a part time care giver. Anybody got some words of wisdom, encouragement, or even honesty for me?
