Writing Intensive or not?

Hi guys, I signed up for WI A&P2 bc my degreeworks says i need 2 WI courses so i was assuming i would take that one and then take another one in my clinical classes (rad tech). What i’m confused about is that my psych professor posted an intro video for our summer class where he says his course is WI. but i don’t see anything anywhere on cunyfirst indicating that. for A&P2 it says it right under the enrollment info. i’m trying to figure out if this psych class is going to help me meet the WI requirement or not because it would be nice to not even have to think about it anymore but i can’t seem to confirm. Degreeworks doesn’t seem to be counting it as WI either. should i email to ask or is there another way to find out?

Is a bachelors worth it?

current student. my school offers a bachelors program for CT or MRI to students who’ve graduated from their associate rad tech program. should i do it like a year after i graduate? or would it be better to just cross train? does the bachelor degree really even matter? would it take me less or more time to cross train in a hospital?

my child seems to be seeking negative attention

(hes almost 5 in 2 months) and it’s confusing because we give him as much positive attention as is humanly possible. we try to sit down with him and do fun craft activities but he looses it if we don’t do something exactly the way he wants or if it has anything to do with education god forbid (like tracing, counting, etc), he says that stuff is boring and won’t even give it a try. which is hard to hear because hes not even in kindergarten and hes already sworn off learning (which we always talk positively about and never try to push) and i can just picture what we’re going to go through in grade school. we try to watch movies with him and if he didn’t decide exactly what we’re watching he screams about it. if we let him play by himself he’s begging us to join but gets so mad the second we go off script. we try to play music so he can dance and refuses to listen to anything except the same k-pop song 10 times in a row, we can’t play music we like without him sitting in one spot and complaining through every song. he hates drawing for more than 5 minutes. he never listens to directions without talking back a million times first. he keeps asking for things we’ve already said no to 40 times in one hour. he tries to find ways around our rules. tests hard boundaries. and again, we fill his cup with so much love and affection everyday. we give him praise for every good thing we notice. sometimes i wonder if hes just not bored enough. we’ve tried taking away screens to let his imagination run wild, same frustrations pop up in different ways. i don’t know what to do. he’ll even refuse to do something as simple as smile for a picture. ive considered that maybe he’s neurodivergent in some way (which trust me i do not want to put labels on him easily but it’s getting to a point). but his pre-k teachers dont have ANY of these problems. they do not think that’s even on the radar. he just seems to WANT us to get upset with him. and i feel like a horrible mom for getting upset about it. we’ve tried all the gentle parenting. but i find myself yelling a lot more often. my parents would have NEVER let this stuff slide and it’s hard to cope with a child that acts like he runs the show. please. someone tell me this gets easier.

what are the nursing pre reqs?

weighing my options if i don’t get into rad tech fall 2027 cohort when i apply next spring.. dental hygiene seems to have more pre reqs, nursing seems to have less and i think i would have already completed them. it seems like i would just have to take the teas but i’m not 100% positive. maybe i’m reading the requirements wrong. can anyone tell me if you don’t mind?

How often have you performed life saving measures?

From what I understand only a BLS is required but i was wondering if getting an ACLS certification would help me more with getting jobs after I finish the program and also if it’s really even worth it? How often are you actually performing life saving measures while doing an x-ray? also should i renew my ekg certification?

Is there any chance I could ever move to Italy?

It’s been my dream to move to Italy for my entire life, I am a second gen Italian American and my parents fought like hell to keep the culture alive even though it was very hard being Italian in America when my grandparents came over here. I love who I am and where my family comes from and I feel like I would be so much happier and healthier in Italy, now that the opportunities my grandparents came here for have given me the ability to be financially stable anywhere I want. I am deeply grateful for them coming here, but America can’t offer me anything I want out of life anymore. I’m really considering making this move. I just need to learn Italian because it never stuck with me as a child haha. And theres one really big problem.

I know me and my son could probably get a visa fairly easily, especially since I still have extended family in Italy. But from what I’ve read, anyone with a felony is ineligible. My husband has a few felonies. And no I’m not trying to bring hardened criminals into your country, don’t worry lol. He is a completely (I mean COMPLETELY) changed person and all of his past offenses were non-violent. Is there anyway we can get around this? Is him being my husband enough or will we have to jump through a bunch of legal hoops to get him here if we actually went through with leaving the US? It’s also a little more complicated because technically he is a citizen of the Dominican Republic with permanent US residency. any advice is appreciated!!

SOS suit needs fixing!

hi guys, i figured you might be able to give me some good advice as DIY lovers. i had to buy a size 5 suit for my child because that’s the only way the top half would fit, but the bottoms are HUGE. i mean they won’t even stay up. i’m planning on getting a belt for him but i’m wondering how i can fix the super long legs? i have no sewing kit or machine and i really don’t want to have to spend money on a tailor but if there’s no other option i guess i’ll have to. folding them up also looks really weird. his pre-k graduation is next wednesday so i have about 7 days to figure it out. thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if this means i’m not going to be able to enroll in the fall? It’s my last pre-req and it would reallt really stink to have to take in the spring and wait a whole extra year doing nothing to apply for the program… i’m scared.

Nostril piercing hurts, dont know why

I have had this piercing for a little over a year now. Had a bump the first 2 months and then when the bump went away it healed perfectly and so fast. I had a flat back labret at first and now I have had this hoop in for about 3 months with no issues. I believe it is nickel free stainless steel just like the rest of my jewelry. The past two days however it has been hurting, like a bruise feeling, especially when the ring moves. My nose is also a little red around the area and the skin feels a bit firm, but as you can probably see i have some whiteheads by the crease of my nose so idk if it can be attributed to those (they do not hurt at all). regardless it still doesn’t explain why the piercing hole hurts. theres no pimples or whiteheads that i can identify right next to it. just a couple flakes of dry skin. do you think this is an infection? or maybe i could’ve caught it on something in my sleep? what should i do? continue to leave it alone and just wash as normal? change it back to a labret? or see a piercer/doctor?

how to tell if a course is writing intensive?

i remember explicitly choosing a writing intensive course on schedule builder when i registered for summer and fall classes in the spring. but on degree works it does not say i have any in progress, even though all the classes fall included say in progress. now i’m checking schedule builder and i do not see WI under any of the classes there either. am i not looking in the right place or did they switch me into a non WI class without telling me. i need to take at least one WI course to apply for the program i want to get into and the next application period is spring 27 so if i don’t take one this summer or fall i’m screwed. also why is english 101 not considered writing intensive??

Do the girls get to choose if they become aunts?

I mean how do they decide on the future generations of aunts? Do the girls get to specialize in aunt training if they feel called to it? or is it something that only the pearl girls are being prepared for? if so, how do they know that they’ll remain loyal if they’re put in positions of “power” like that, since they come from blasphemous Canada lol. Or perhaps, is it like a promotion for econo women? Or maybe more like a punishment for bad plums? I haven’t read the books but some people in here say Becka becomes an aunt because of the whole not wanting to marry debacle?

idk, opinions? it’s not something i thought of while watching THT, i’m not sure if they ever mentioned it.

getting my near five year old to just try to read is impossible

he knows all of his letters and letter sounds. even the harder ones like “th, sh, ch,” and that double letters often make one sound. he can write all his letters and his name too. but when i try to get him to sound out words he gets bored SO quickly. hes right on the cusp of being able to read but he won’t try. hes not at all motivated. not even two letter words although he can identify a few sight words like “cat” and “see”. i’m out of my depths here because as a child all i wanted to do was read. i don’t understand why he won’t even sit down for more than 2 minutes without giving up and making excuses. he will sit an listen to the story but the second i suggest he try himself he walks away. help! how can i motivate him?

How long do I have to wait for final grades to be posted to cuny first?

this is just a rant. i understand technically my professors have till the 29th to post final grades but they’ve all either emailed me my final grade or posted all of my quiz and homework grades on brightspace already. so whats taking so long for them to be posted to cunyfirst? i wanted to enjoy my small break between spring and summer classes but until i see these grades locked in i feel like i can’t relax 😭 especially for one course i cannot tell if i’m getting an A or an A minus since he only posted the assignment grades on brightspace, not the final one .. chat says A- but grade calculator found on google says A.

i think i have an autoimmune disorder but i haven’t been taken seriously

hi reddit ever since i turned 18 ive been having really odd symptoms. looking back at my childhood ive also had certain benign “symptoms” if you can even call it that. but the ones i’ve had since turning 18 have actually affected me. i’m 24 now and have never been taken seriously.

i’m fairly certain i have an autoimmune disorder or possibly just an issue with my hormones but i don’t know which one. what test should i ask for based off of this?

i’m a female btw

childhood symptoms:
-hyper mobility (but not to the extent i see with EDS)
-easily bruising
-cavities that dont hold filling
-narrow palette
-frequently twisting my ankles or fracturing them bc they don’t hold up
-joints popping or cracking
-cafe au lait spots
-poor circulation (cold fingers/toes very often)

since i became a teenager:
-hormonal acne
-easy weight gain
-varying cycle lengths and intensity of period
-intense migraines with aura (prescribed sumatriptan which never works)
-chronic stomach pain, constipation, and nausea

symptoms since ive turned 18:
-heart palpitations/tachycardia
-shortness of breath/wheezing
-pain at the base of skull (muscles)
-enlarged lymph nodes every few months with no signs of illness or infection (ive been particularly concerned about this but i made the mistake of bringing it up during my first pregnancy so they shrugged it off as hormones/inflammation)
-early miscarriage
- as recently as this january 2026 i started having random hives, as well as eye and lip swelling. sometimes separate, sometimes all together. i will attach pictures.

maybe important to note: i had mono at 17 and ever since then my liver has also been a bit inflamed but ive never had numbers in blood work that indicate something TOO concerning

i understand when you show up with a list of vague symptoms like this that maybe it’s hard to take seriously, but i can’t live like this much longer. all of it combined is taking a toll on me. no matter how much i eat healthy or exercise or try my own preventative care, it doesnt go away.

pls help me.

what is the lowest gpa we know of so far for fall 2026?

i’m expecting my pre requisite gpa to be around 3.77-3.9 depending on what i get on my math final tomorrow. this final holds so much weight for me. i’m going to apply for fall 27 but the fall 26 round is making me so nervous bc i haven’t seen anyone with lower than a 3.8 get in yet, at least that i know of. if my gpa winds up being in the 3.7 range should i just assume it’s over for me? 😭 i’m sorry for the negative post i’m just really overwhelmed about all this and wondering if i should consider a backup plan…
