My husband and I got married and a month later I moved away for PA school in a different city! Majority of my cohort does long distance! You make it work and just push through when it gets difficult! Studying is definitely your whole life so your partners patience really helps make it feel better and helps you feel less guilty for not having so much time for them!
Yes it absolutely helps having so many close friends and classmates going through a similar situation!
Thank you for this video! I’m 23 and married with a 2 year old, and I’ve been considering going back to school and becoming a PA. My husband has an amazing tech job, but he is also in the military, and he is gone a lot for both. I have been unsure if we could make it work since I’ve heard “you have no life when you are in PA school”. This gives me hope that I might be able to juggle my marriage, being a mom, and going to PA school without everything falling apart lol
Haha yes, you definitely can! It’s so temporary. That hard days don’t last forever, and before you know it, you’ve graduated and you can resume living the life YOU want to 👍 I had many classmates who were married with kids while in PA school. They all graduated 😄
Yesss so happy I found your video. My boyfriend is preparing for PA school and I preparing for law school.
Great video Bro , I'm a pre-pa , getting married right before starting PA school . Great tips .
PA Invader ah congrats! That’s the way to do it. Getting married in PA school is a little more challenging, but it’s still not bad being the guy and not having a lot of responsibility 😂
I am so thankful for you taking the time to create RUclips videos. I was just talking to my spouse how our relationship will be like while I am in PA school and this video has helped me realize it won’t be as scary as it seems. Thank you again.
Of course! I’m glad we could provide you with some peace of mind! It’s a very temporary time in life, never forget that 👍
You guys are so cute together! Can you share what your study routine was during didactic year? I know everyone’s schedule will vary but just to get an idea :)
Carlan Bostick haha thanks! Yeah, I’ll add it to the list!
Amped about starting PA School this Fall. All great advice going into it in a relationship. Love the videos and you guys! Thanks for all the help 😁
Congrats on getting accepted!! Where will you be?
And thanks for watching 😄
Thanks! I will be at Ohio Dominican University. But I’m originally from Illinois too. I moved out to Ohio with my boyfriend recently. I just related to your story so much. It’s awesome to watch all your videos & see your journey! 😁
Thanks for following along. It’s been fun 😄 best of luck to you!
Love the video, had to share it with my wife to put her mind at ease.
Haha hopefully it helped! It’s totally do-able. You guys will blink and school will be a thing of the past! Best of luck!
@@DaywithaPA Thank you, she's almost down for everything except moving, because we have 2 young kids.
@@widmarck68 Yeah, that is difficult! So, you're applying this cycle?
@@DaywithaPA yes sir, currently studying for the GRE next month
Great video!
It really gives a perspective to everyone aspiring to enter the field.
Jaime Corral thank you! Maintaining your relationships in PA school is possible haha
I’m in PA school now (3rd semester) and it’s definitely been more studying every semester. I moved 5 hours away and my fiancé can’t drive down here until he gets a new car. So I see my fiancé about 4 times a year on his breaks. I think it would be easier if he would have been able to move with me but he’s working full time and in school so he couldn’t move. I feel like I would do more studying him just being here than me just thinking about him all the time. But it’s okay. Almost a year down and then I graduate in August 2020. Really hoping to get some rotations back up where I’m from. We also lived together for a year before I got into school so going from living with each other to only seeing each other 4 times a year is rough. Somedays I don’t even have time to text him.
Yeah, that is difficult being apart, esp when you used to live together. It is much easier for us living together. All I can tell you is that it’s so temporary. PA school flys by. I can’t believe I graduate in 3 months. It doesn’t seem real! Like you said, hopefully you get some rotations back home! That’ll make your clinical year much better, and it’ll make time go by faster!
Day with a PA yep. :) had my first day back after spring break. I was home but I had to study the whole time for my two retake exams I had to take today. But I passed them! So I’m super happy about that. 6 more weeks of the semester. :) I can’t even Imaging graduating. I know it’s like a year and a few months away but that seems so close! And then peoples lives will be in my hands. Good luck! Do you have a job offer yet? I heard people start looking about 3 months before graduation.
Lisa yeah, it goes by so fast! I have a job in ortho! 😬😬😬
What happens to preexisting relationship problems? Our issue is that we don’t spend enough time together already (1x weekly at most) and I’m worried it’ll be less and less because I’ll be busy. We live in the same state, 16 miles away, together for 2 years
I got dumped when I told my girlfriend that I was going back to school after trying 4yrs to get hired with the fire department. The economy was bad and no one was hiring. So she left me and the struggles began. I had to work weekends while going to school during the week. I moved 4 times because of complications with roommates. I haven't dated for over 4yrs it's been a lonely road. I had my family who stood by me and helped me financially.
I wish I had someone to lean onto when I needed a shoulder to cry on. Depression surely hit me along this journey, but I'm almost done with my undergrad and hopefully meet someone who will stand by me.
life can be shit sometimes but it eventually does get better. keep going bro
@@kaloyanmomchilov3539 I appreciate it thank you.
Sounds like you’re heading in the right direction again! Keep grinding. Anything worth having is something you have to work hard for. Then no one can ever take that away from you 💪
This video was amazing , thanks for this . Starting PA school soon and this video helped me understand a lot in this perspective .
Nice video brother. Stef and I loved the video!!
Kaynen Brown, BSN, RN thanks!! It’ll be you two soon! It’s totally doable, just remember you guys are a team 😊
Your dog is so cute!!!
Thanks!! 😊
That sounds nice.
This is actually really helpful! Thank you (:
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Shes so cute ❤❤❤
She is! 😍
I’m starting PA school at St Louis University and will actually be living about an hour outside of the school on the Illinois side. Good to see people from that area! I’m excited to be moving to that area because my boyfriend is currently there and we are doing long distance now... so it will be awesome to be in the same area. I am nervous I won’t have any time though to be together... what was the time frame before you got into your routine and were able to find the balance ?
That’s crazy! We’re probably pretty close! It probably took me 2-3 months to figure out how I was going to succeed in PA school haha. You’ll get a few exams under your belt and realize what’s expected of you. Once you know that, you’ll get an idea of how much free time you can allow yourself!
Heather Fernanda how much is the total cost for pa school at SLU for 27 months....thank u
Thanks for the video! Sounds like I'm in a similar spot to what you guys were...starting PA school in June, and getting married over a school break in December. Did you all get married during your schooling? Any tips on that?
Holly Baca Yes! We got married in 2017 (positive about that now 😂) in the middle of my didactic year. Being the guy, I really didn’t do a whole lot of “wedding planning.” Ok, I really did nothing haha. My wife and now MIL were like wedding-planning-ninjas. It sounds like you’ll be getting married right after your first semester? If that’s the case, try to get as much done before you start school if you can. Write out what still needs to be done in the months leading up to the wedding and break it down by week. Try to do 2-3 things a week (maybe more of you can) and don’t overwhelm yourself! Don’t be scared to delegate tasks to others like your family (or even your fiancé) haha
Loved your video! This gives me so much hope and motivation! How did you pick your school? I'm currently active duty coast guard but will be pursing PA as soon as I'm done (2021) and can basically go anywhere I want but it feels so overwhelming trying to decide and knowing what to look for. ): Any advice would greatly help! Thank you!
Thanks! I looked at PANCE pass rates for the programs I applied to. I made sure they were all pretty high. Aside from that, I wanted a program in a cool city, too, with things to do so I could escape from PA school when I had the time. I also favored older programs that were well established. My program has a ton of clinic sites for rotations. Newer programs don’t have that luxury, and I’ve heard of students having to find all of their rotations. My program found nearly every one of my rotations aside from my electives which I chose.
Great video and your wife is gorgeous!
She is!! 😍
I want to know what life in Kentucky is like? (pros and cons) I'm from the North East and am truly over the winter season lollll looking to move more south.
Haha well winters in Kentucky really aren’t mild. Likely less snow but still plenty of cold weather! Lexington is a very cool up and coming city. Many good restaurants, breweries, and distilleries in the surrounding areas! It’s also incredibly clean for a city. We loved living there! Cons I guess would be that it doesn’t have a big city feel as it’s relatively small, so if you’re looking for that, great. However, if you’re wanting a more metropolitan feel with millions of people, you’re not going to find that in KY.
Thumbs up for the hot wife 👍🏾
Just one?? 😂👍 👍
My girlfriend is about to go to PA school. (Long distance) We have a lot of confidence we can make this work, but we dont live together at the moment. Should we move in prior to her leaving? Im getting worried she is going to move on with her life and leave me behind 😔
Any updates on your situation? Im about to go through the same thing
@@megachulo88 hello, things are great if you communicate everything effectively
@@DarthMando90 Thank you for the reply, glad to hear things are working out. My girlfriend is leaving at the end of August. The beginning of a long journey.
@@megachulo88 i think if you set the right expectations first, it will go smoothly. talk everyday, facetime. for yourself, stay busy! find a hobby and friends. everything will work out 👍
@@DarthMando90 Thank you my friend. Have a great beginning of your week. Your words brought me solace.
this is great! gonna send it to my girlfriend lol im applying to the next cycle (starting 2021). how do rotations work, exactly? do you pick what you want to rotate through?
also, how was your interview process?
My program set up all of our rotations for us. If we had a preference on where we wanted to do a rotation, we filed a request for that site. We also got 2 elective rotations where we could choose any speciality to rotate through.
Interview process seems scary but it wasn’t bad! Check out my video on it!
Braiden I feel bad that you had to deal with that. You shouldn't have to justify your education. She fought to justify her own place explicitly. She told you how difficult it was for her, but it was obviously more difficult for you. Marketing is one of the most desired business degrees and just by her dialect, she says things that are not intellectually fluent. She helps people but not to the same degree. When you have someone insecure and needing to always discern their own achievements over urs, I can't help but feel bad for you. I see it on your face in your videos.
So I'm hoping to go from Paramedic to PA. However, I am married with two kids and my wife stays at home. Trying to figure out the viability of the chance.
That is tough. I had classmates with families so it's definitely possible! Either save up the money to make it happen or "gently" encourage your wife to return to work while you're in school haha. Also, you may find that a longer program (closer to 30 months) is more feasible as you have more time to study and balance life. Of course, you have the downside of being in school longer.
When u did ur patient contact hours was 1-2 years part time enough because the school that I’m looking to apply to requires 3000 patient contact hours but how r u supposed to balance that with full time school?? What was ur experience
Johanna Poysti wow, that’s a lot. Usually it’s around 2k hours if there’s a requirement. I’d apply to schools with lower PCE thresholds if I were you. Look for no requirement (but recommended) or schools that req 1k hours
Day with a PA if I were to apply to a pa school where 3k patient contact hours is required, would u think starting to accumulate them in my sophomore year of college would be enough time? If I was also a full time student and other requirements are needed e.g.volunteering and shadowing
Johanna Poysti possibly. It’d be close. If you were truly part time at 20 hours a week working for 3 years, that’d get you to 3k. You could also work more in the summers to make up hours if you couldn’t make 20 hours a week work all the time and had to cut back here and there.
3000 hours?? Some of the schools I looked at only required 500-700 hours and others no experience required.
OutNProud500 you’re correct. Some programs require 0, some will require 3k.
Since you had to go another state to attend PA school, did you get out of state tuition or how does all that work?
Yes, out of state tuition, unless you can find a way to establish residency before beginning school. In KY, you had to live in the state for 1 year before being enrolled in school. They make it really difficult 👎
Day with a PA Thank you!
Do you think I can find a wife like yours 😍 also I am paramedic and preparing for my PA school 🙂😎
😂 good luck to both! But really, paramedic is great PCE!
I have been paramedic almost for 3 years in Detroit area..we do all kind shit.😅 you named 😄.. I really like emergency medicine in general..thanks bro..
That’s sweet. I rode with the paramedics for a week on my emergency medicine rotation. Y’all have some crazy schedules!
Same! Paramedic to PA (hopefully).
Great experience!
So both are PAs?😊 I'm researching to become PA but I don't know if I only study 2 1/2 years and I can already work as a PA or if I need to have a master's degree?🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s a masters degree to become a PA
Yeah bro she is hot that is why you got All A+ in your exam 😁
whats your instagram?
Natalie Latino @daywithapa 👍
