Have hosptials ever allow pre-requisite students do student Radiology Technologist role? I was recommended to still apply despite being that, but I recently looked up online to see imaging assistant is better for me due to the expectation differences.
I keep seeing differing opinions from pressure from tourniquet or cuff, arterial vein hit, needle too slow, and needle bevel is in vein and out same time. Why do you think a blood spurts?
Also, when you all see a vein maybe blowing up, or a bubble start to form, what is your response? Do you all just stop and draw from there? Hold needle more downward? Or just remove needle? I have worked in hosptial before. I understand why to remove. I am simply curious why you stay or don't since it is different in hospital versus donor setting it seems.
I need these downvotes to help me figure out what is everyone's common census. I feel like i do not see enough informatione even in educational resources. simple curious post what yall think
Which is better? I want multiple helix piercings so this is not a discussion about choosing to do 1 or 2 haha. Which sound better professionally? Is it ever worth paying for titanium? Does $75 for two sound like a cheap, worrisome deal?
This is post-regular towel wrap. Do i have any potential wavy even 2A?
A third of my hair was dyed 4ish months ago, and I regularly dye my hair every year. I have dark black hair so I need to lift about 3-5 days to really see the best pigmented (not light) colors, or just bleach 2 times at minimal.
My hair is ALWAYS getting tangled. Any brushing makes it go instantly straight. It holds circles and waves maybe up to a week and I wash my hair once. It can hold 4-5 days if I wash 2x. Both times though, i can not brush my hair. A friend has naturally wavy hair without trying/products, and their hair did not hold as well so it made me think whatever I should try.
Just tell me a simple no please if not.

My parent had a surgery that led to their legs being unable to be used. (Recovering so it's okay) I need some upper strength exercise ideas.
They can sit. They have a yoga mat, 1 set of dumbell weights, and resistance bands. The bands do not let them do anything far like yoga, but they can stretch with hands out and arms straight then a bit out.
What can we do that helps core that does not require legs like situps and push-ups do?
My dad had surgery and it is a 3-6 month recovery period. He is super hardworking to the point he was working till 90 years old as a mechanic. What can I get him, or let him do so he feels like he is having fun, or can be "educational" father figure to me still?
i told him because of the bad weather, he would need to water indoor plants also with my schedule. (Big pots. Small cup of water)
Also, I asked him about if he wants to watch a live cam of animals (which he was not aware of). I purposefully read a list of National parks that have a cam. He was able to identify location and recall trips to places.
he enjoys going out for his limited time outdoors with his dog still. He is mostly sitting down or laying down mostly listening to devotionals and sermons. Kenneth Copeland is one of his favorite preachers. (Do not put your opinion if u like this preacher or not pls.)
What is something that does not cost more than $20, not super in the face of giving him something feel pitiful to do or straight from retirement home games? (My dad is intelligent enough to know a bingo or mega checkers game would be purposeful.)
he can not handle a complex game due to his prescriptions having such an impact. He feels "uncreative" and degrades himself when doing hand coordination stuff as his hands shake so creative stuff and puzzle pieces are out of the way. He can not do video games. As mentioned, he is limited outdoors in terms transportation, walking, and exposure still now.
Please tell me how you navigated worries whatever academic or emotional.
Did you ever fail a test, and stress out if your remianing assignments would be enough to pass? Have you ever had a major fiancial payment like a car crash fix, or you did not save enough so now you worry over having enough money for tuition and car payments?
What are tips and strategies that helped such as your specific regime of exercise, mediation, how many times you spent on yourself besides basic living, handling friendships, etc.
Grocery, restaurant, items, anything local?
I really enjoy the ymca for their group classes, gym, and fitness but $360 for students at lowest cost is too much for me. I like planet fitness for their 24/7 but $120 is already at a max.
There are tons of places with classes 1st time free, but afterwards its like $50+ monthly.
I would really enjoy any sport that [mostly] anyone can do such as running, biking, tennis, and swimming. I am not interested in soccer, football, and baseball. Does anyone know anywhere?
I normally donate on homestead rd at a church parking lot, but i came back from college this year to find out it is no longer there.
I hear people not wanting to donate at salvation and good will so... where do you donate and why?
Do you know their process of cleaning it all, maintaining open and how they pay employees, and where it all ends up?
I got into a MRI program but it is near 100k. Radiology education and experience is not needed so this is definitely a rare chance. However, it is an associates and everything is online but lab and clinicals.
I got into this program last-minute wheras aid is basically non-existent the 1st year ($15k) because it is 1 class a semester/barely part time.
Second, this program is a B and above only, all assignments need to be turned in, and courses only taken once. Any factor failure results in being kicked from program. I took physics years ago, and I already struggled with anatomy and physiology. I feel like i am going to fail the first class because of these struggles.
(please DO NOT GIVE ADVICE ON MY DECISION. You can provide some online links where there is online aid outside Fafsa, government loans, and school based aid already considered.)
How did everyone keep going forward when you faced fiancial struggles and academic doubt? please at the minimal answer this
My family is worried these plants in nearby forest are the red bush after finding out a few of our purchased baby plants were the invasive winged Euonymus alatus. Are these those plants?
2nd post to simply throw out here, please make sure anyone interested and in certification programs enroll for the work force ready grant!!! You can get free tuition. You just pay the fees and miscellaneous fees for the program.
Requirements below! Then, reach out to your advisor and tell them hey i want this to be applied.
https://www.ivytech.edu/programs/signature-opportunities-for-students/next-level-jobs/
You are an Indiana resident, and
You are eligible for state financial aid and filed a FAFSA
You have a high school diploma (or equivalent) but less than a college degree [recieved]. I had college classes, and almost finished a degree so its okay to have transfer credit.
You do not need to file out the government page to my knowledge. However, it has more updates comapred to ivy tecv page. The Workforce Ready Grant is a last-dollar grant, and "First-time dependent students (based on the FAFSA dependency status) are not eligible for the Workforce Ready Grant for the 2026-2027 academic year. Only independent students and dependent students who are continuing their program during the 2026-2027 academic year are eligible."
Provide this link to your advisor if they have difficulties! https://www.in.gov/che/state-financial-aid/state-financial-aid-by-program/workforce-ready-grant/
I see, and hear too many people going to a program, and realizing too late that their program was not needed/waste of time, money and effort. Please look up jobs before you enroll in any programs especially certification programs. Also, please make sure you have at least 1+ job experience before enrolling in the program. If you struggle to get a job related to your program because you do not have any job experience, then your certification might expire and you go through the struggle to pass the certification or do the skills again.
This is not meant to be a discussion post, degrading, or fear focused post.
Simply, make sure yall are job ready as the school background and certification are very basebone, standard qualifications.
Am i missing something for these $87 tickets veruss other $200+ tickets??? I looked in the realistic view image/180° but did not see anything in front of or around this section besides more section seats.
Also, why did stubhub and seakgeek send emails of ticket info? How are they connected?
Although i have been exposed via classmates poking me, and class assigned internship, the program and certification potential held no value. I was rejected from every job possible except my local red cross which accepts nearly anyone to my understanding. Perhaps this was the advantage compared to other applications, but the post-program expectations were not met.
My time, money, and effort felt wasted.
forgot to add my question, what was everyone else's experiences with their program, and 1st job?
also wow thank you for the upvotes I was not expecting this insane support and attention.
to new students and graduates, this is not meant to criticize or degrade phlebotomy. I still highly respect it after the professionals showed their skills.
i simply think there should have been proper representation and check-in about this program not being needed in the end. I should have applied earlier to ARC or other jobs to get my experience in as I simply felt taking time off from job and missing job hours, and the stress from this program was a negative impact on me.
I am applying for jobs, but most jobs are full-time positions during my home store hours. I am a pharmacy technician
Could I ask my home store to let myself be an official floater (once I receive a job offer)? I would like to help the home store and other stores when I have my days off as I do enjoy pharmacy (and need the pay). I just can not be regularly available anymore.
Would I make this request on storenet, or to store manager? Has anyone been able to do this? What was your experience like? Will this lead to likely termination if I do not pick up hours in a certain period of time?
I want to be a floater without a designated home store that assigns me a schedule. I have a 2nd job offer so I want to avoid being scheduled within 1-2 weeks at Walgreens, and pick up shifts when I can, but keep the Walgreens job.
I keep seeing the headphones break posts. Now, I am curious for sake of curiosity, how long did everyone have their headphones so far now, or till it broke? What was it used for? Sleeping, exercising, daily activities to listen to music, etc. What about frequency like daily usage? Did you ever have to fix your headphones? Do you wear it with covers? Did you use your headphone case as much as possible and when not in use?
For me, April 14, 2024 purchase (808 days), exercising, sleeping and music during regular activities, weekly (daily for a few months), and always a headphone cover protection in ear and head parts, case if its not on my head
