Online course pharmacotherapeutics for nurse.

I apologize for this being long, but I badly need some advice. For context, I just recently graduated nursing school, and in the past two years (on and off), I had a crush on this guy in my class. We never had a conversation, but we have mutual friends.
I was invited to a graduation party the day after graduation, and he was there. The party started off with everyone eating and getting to know each other. I made some small talk with him along with other people. Then, we get to drinking. He and I talked about our culture (we’re both of the same ethnicity) and our trips to our country. He also shared some pictures about stuff that happened during his trips.
Our friends began to sing karaoke in the living room and were taking turns. They all teased me to go up and sing, him included. I can hear him saying, “Go up there!” I made a comment about how terrible I am at singing, and he goes “Have you been listening to me?”
We then got to drinking some more. My friend brought in jack and coke and was preparing it with my crush. I told them I never drank that before, and he gave me his drink to try (which he took a sip out of already, and I, of course, drank it after he offered lmao). When my friend brought in more drinks, he gave me some more pointers with drinking.
We decided to take some pictures, and he laughed at me when I wanted to retake them (he has also laughed at me some throughout the night about some stuff I said and did). He asked for my socials, which I said I did not have, but I got his number instead so that he can send the photos.
We got to drinking some more, and I felt bold enough to converse with him alone. It was a good conversation about our futures and plans post college. Throughout the conversation, it felt a bit more than friendly, a slightly flirtatious tone, and we were smiling at each other a lot. Towards the end of the night, he sang more karaoke, and we made some passing comments until he left.
There are some reasons as to why I am being hesitant to send him a text. For one, I found out from him that he is traveling to our home country in July and moving out to go into the navy in either August/September. He will be interning at a hospital that I will also be working at until he leaves (different departments though). That will leave little time for a relationship, but I am open to short term. Second, a couple of my friends, he and I were talking about our types, and he says that he tends to go for a particular race (not ours) but is open to all types. I said that my type is guys in our racial group. In our little one to one conversation, he brings up how there is a city here in America that has a lot of people of our racial group and that I should consider looking into that city. In my head, I’m like I want you though lol.
So, with all this said, should I still send him a text? If or when I text him, I plan to start out subtle first, like asking him about orientation at the hospital or something? Or should I just let this all go and move on with my life?
TLDR: I talked to my crush for the first time at a graduation party, and we had good conversations throughout. He is traveling in July and plans to move out of our home town in August/September. I am unsure if I should still send him a text.

I met this guy on an online dating site just under a year ago and it started great don’t get me wrong but it always starts off great with new people. Before he and I got together I was cheated on in my previous relationship and it genuinely wrecked me especially finding out that my ex admitted to not loving me for 2 out of 3 years we were together but kept me around because I took care of him when he started having heart problems, mentioning my ex is important I promise. Moving back to the main topic person I was talking to his sister in law so I could get to know her and her me to try and build a connection. She told me that he has some anger issues but he hasn’t had any outbursts in a few years and that he means well he and his brother are exactly the same on that. A few months later he starts talking about how his ex’s were and how they were either mentally or emotionally unstable. One day there was a fight between him, his brother and grandmother. When I wouldn’t get in the middle of something that clearly was not my business he turns to me and says he wished he ex was here instead since she would’ve actually done something and if I wanted to leave this was my “way out”. He repeats this a few more times on separate occasions. Flash forward it’s New Years he’s picking me up from work and things are better we were communicating about whatever was bothering us then the 2nd of January I ask him what’s wrong and he tells me I’m boring him intimately so I said okay that hurt my feelings let’s break up. I started talking to this other guy who seemed perfect but ghosted me so in a mess of emotion I regrettably hooked up with the guy before. Call me stupid I know especially for this next part I’m now pregnant with his kid. I of course told him since I was constantly sick and that thought never crossed my mind and he jumps to us being together. This goes on for a month until he starts talking about how HE wants the kid to be raised and how HE wants the baby to take his last name and his family names not even letting me get a word out. Here’s were its getting to my initial question, he has a history of heavy drug and alcohol use and has it set in his mind that he and I will be married and living together for the sake of the child. I confided in him when I found out my former employer is telling customers that I left because of my pregnancy and how I found out. He started saying he doesn’t like the people I talk to and I shouldn’t be talking to them. Having dealt with someone telling me this before I had the feeling I needed to break things off now before it got way too late and papers got signed. I genuinely don’t want to be with this person but he said he won’t be involved with the baby unless he “has me”. I feel like I was right to leave yes my baby needs a father but I don’t want my baby to have their life controlled. What do you guys think, regardless I’m not getting back with him I’d prefer to be alone for a while I just want to know people opinions on this.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if you need to already hold a bachelor’s degree to be accepted into an accelerated BSN program? I am currently an undergrad student who is getting ready to apply for nursing school, (after this fall semester I will have completed all of the necessary pre requisite courses), and was wondering if I can apply to ABSN programs in addition to the traditional 2 year BSN programs. When I was checking out some ABSN programs online it seemed like they were catering towards people who already hold a Bachelors degree, but I just wanted to check to see if this might be an option for someone like me as well. Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question!! 😭

It's the early 2000s, and I'm a 10ish year old, we didn't have a lot of money, but my dad made sure we were in the PCMR, while we only had dial-up in one room, every bedroom had a functioning PC that was built by my dad. He built all through the 90s and as long as I can remember as a kid. Our PCs were a compilation of hand-me-down parts tossed from one computer to another always trying to achieve 1 more fps in Half Life, Doom, AOE2, SimCity, Theme Hospital and so many more.
My favorite thing of course was a piece of software called GameMaker 5.x, now it's some nonsense yoyogames or something but back in the day it was an awesome game creation tool that required no internet. My first taste of coding was in GameMaker, I coded and coded and coded, and I knew the manual inside and out. My first real "game" was a cross between Breakout and SpaceInvaders. You had to break out of blocks using the paddle, but there were also aliens and some other stuff that would eat away at your paddle. It had a couple of cool features and even a high score table. I told my Dad, and he was so excited, he played and got 9th place sandwiched between my scores. We went to lunch and talked about the game and even strategy.
Soon we had DSL, and I quickly went got into PHP, HTML and MySQL. I used an old PC in my parent's closet to start a forum hosting website, PhpBB. And it quickly became really successful, and wow were my parents proud of me when checks from Google started showing up in the mail (Adsense). Once it outgrew our internet and that PC I even was able to sell it for 1000 dollars to another host ( I was probably 15 at the time). I used the money on a new PC with a sweet ATI Rage.
I turned 17 and joined the Army, he was so proud of me, he bought a jacket that said ARMY on it and wore it almost every day. Then, I can't really explain what happened, I was on my own now, in the Army states away and we sort of grew apart. Altleast, I did. He always reached out, and I wouldn't return his calls or emails or texts or anything. I was always busy and life was just too important to talk to Dad. Weeks turned into months of no contact.
2012 comes and I get out of the Army, by this time Dad had been sick for a while but never seriously. In and out of the hospital constantly while I was away, but never anything I needed to come home for. Then I got the call, it was serious this time and I should come. I get there, but he's already non-responsive, they said his liver was all shut down, and he wouldn't recover. The nurse said when he was there he liked listening to his classic rock on his laptop and maybe I should turn it on and play some music. I turn on the laptop and right on the desktop there it was, my game.
I started some music and launched the game from my childhood. I checked out the high score table and there were over 400 entries, some really, really high scores overtaking all of mine all named Dad... except the top one, the top one was named "i miss anon". Not long after that, he was gone.
I'm sorry Dad, I love you.

Is LPN school really that hard? I’m not doubting that it’s challenging but I want to get my LPN and then bridge into getting my RN after working as an LPN for a few years, however I’ve heard from LPNS that LPN school was harder than getting their RN but to me it just sounds like because you already have the foundation of Nursing form being an LPN getting your RN is going to come a little easier than when you first started becoming an LPN because when you first start going to LPN school all of the material is going to be brand new so of course it’s gonna be harder. So I just don’t know if I should go straight for my RN or LPN to RN bridge??? Help.

Hello,
To me 8g ram is not enough to do anything, but here’s what I need:
I’m taking online courses in EE undergraduate and CS graduate level. I’m doing a lot of work on my computer in both, but I do have a powerful desktop PC to do some heavy lifting. For the purpose of studying, note taking, video conferences, along with light-duty programming and a little lab work in EE, will the 8g ram surface pro 9 suffice? No gaming or anything.
Thanks
Forgot to say this version is only $750 at the moment… so since I’m on a tight budget, this looks good if viable.

Hello lovely people,
I'll be visiting the U.S. for the first time during the first week of January 2025.
I have 4 days (starting from Kingman, AZ → Phoenix, AZ) and really want to do the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley areas in these 4 days.
Through my online research/reading, this is what I've come up with:
Day 1: - Kingman → Grand Canyon Village (~3.5 hours drive) - On this day I'm planning to do:

1. Grand Canyon Village → Desert View Watchtower → Back to Grand Canyon Village (~50 miles roundtrip). Of course, not planning to walk too much/cover too many viewpoints. My plan is just to visit a few easy viewpoints and capture the sunset from one of the viewpoints.
2. Night stay at one of the motels/lodges in Grand Canyon Village

Day 2: - Grand Canyon Village → Page (~3.5 hours drive) - On this day I'm planning to do:

1. Drive the South Rim again and leave early to capture the sunrise at one of the viewpoints. Also, visit a few easy viewpoints.
2. Horseshoe Bend
3. Antelope Canyon Guided Tour
4. Night stay at one of the motels/lodges in Page

Day 3: - Page → Monument Valley (~2.5 hours drive) - On this day I'm planning to do:

1. Monument Valley Guided/Self Tour
2. Forest Gump Point
3. Mexican Hat
4. Night stay at The View / Goulding's Lodge

Day 4: - Monument Valley → Phoenix (~5.5 hours)
I am aware that due to elevation, the Grand Canyon gets too cold (up to -10°C / 14°F) during the Christmas / New Year time. So my obvious major concern is Snow! And how can it affect my plan above?

• Does it snow too much to even visit any of these areas? Or even a road closure?
• What are the chances of clear skies even though it snows?
• Does it snow much in Monument Valley too?

Any help or suggestion is appreciated! :-)

I want to do travel nursing in Saudi Arabia (from the US), and I have been looking at the assignment listings. Every single listing says they do not accept a degree earned from an online school. If I have done my ADN in person, and got my BSN from a bridge program online, would that be accepted? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks

I am in my 20s and currently an HR Coordinator, although I am good at my job it is very boring to me. I didn’t school for this just a string of jobs that led me here. I went to college for one year while being in HS but unfortunately had to step away from college to take care of my family( I had a full ride back then so if I went back now I would have to pay). I briefly started taking classes again but I got injured and lost my job due to management changes so I had to spend more time trying to find more work. My passion is statistics I was great in any statistics course I took and I like the investigative aspect of it. Not sure if should go back to school at all or just try to build up my career where I currently am( good company in non profit sector but I just don’t like it as much as i thought). if i did go back to school it would have to be online. also seeking guidance on what careers make good money in statistics besides data scientist.
thank you

English is not my first language, so please bear with me <3
I’m 25, unemployed, graduating from uni this summer, in process of writing my graduate thesis. I major in education and teach kids to read and write online in the evenings 4 days a week. All the cooking and cleaning in my household are on me, if there are some problems with computers, phones, TVs - it’s also on me. I’m helping with technical and other stuff my whole family (I mean also my aunties, uncles, cousins, etc.). If someone needs help, usually I’m the first person they call. You can say “you’ll graduate, start to rent your own place and leave your family” but the problem is I’m not sure if i'll have enough money for it. Also I'm not really excited about my major and it’s not the first field I try out. I’m a college graduate, I majored in computer science, the college was total trash and I decided to try smth else, but now I see that nothing works for me. Some people feel like they are the main character, but I feel like I am the minor character for everyone around me, I’ll just be beside you, tell me what to do and what to fight for, I have nothing of my own. I’m the definition of Jack of all trades and master of none. I can photoshop, edit videos, build and set up computers, babysit and teach your kids, do gardening, you name it. I have completely lost myself; I don’t understand who I am, what I want. The funniest thing is that when I feel like I have more free time and try to learn something new and really like it, a lot of problems and events decide to appear at once, so I start to feel overwhelmed and give up. The only things that help me to cope with the reality and kinda escape it are games (league of legends mostly and games with a plot), watching videos, learning English and programming (I’m taking a nice JS course now and trying not to give up this time (I've tried 4 times) no matter how many distractions are coming my way, it’s hard cuz there are still many).
I don't want to turn 26 still being no one, it's my biggest fear. A lot of people my age have accomplished something really nice in life. Should I just embrace that I'm a looser, should I take some steps back, should I try more things and lose time? It's just scary, cuz I'm not getting younger each year. I don't know how to keep what I like (programming) in my life when I graduate and will have even less free time, my skills are not good enough to get a job rn and tbh I'm still not sure if it's what I like or I'm just trying to fool myself again huh... I still can be an underpaid teacher tho if nothing works out, that's the only thing no one can take from me :) Am I too fckd up in the head?
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it and want to know if there are any people who have a similar situation, pls tell me how you cope with it <3 And just advice from anyone who wants to help will be really appreciated!

My gf of 1 year has always denied my feelings towards her past. I am a very insecure person regarding my partners past, and I have always been.
As you’ve noticed, we’re both young, so we haven’t got that many experiences with many people. In my case, I’ve had one girlfriend (long distance relationship, met online) for 18 months to be precise. I lost my virginity to that girl (we were 15 both of us) and she was also my first and only kiss (obviously was also my first and only everything else). I’ve always been that “reserved” kind of guy, who likes to make things special and not waste experiences just for fun with random people.
On the other hand, my girl lost her virginity to me, but had already sucked two guys (one of them two times) in the past and kissed 5 dudes. Now I know it’s not a big deal, like at all, but I truly find it difficult to not feel insecure about her past. Just imagining her doing such things makes me feel sick. I’ve been trying to fix this insecurities for quite some time now (more than a year) and been improving so much ever since.
Now that you guys have the context and know what each of us did before we met each other, is it OK for my girl to say “you don’t have the right to feel that way” whenever u try to open myself on how I feel about the things she did? Of course that when I do I don’t expect her to build a Time Machine and change those things, but I’m just looking for some reassurance I guess. Something important to note here is that she DOES come to me and tell me she feels insecure about my past with this one girl and I NEVER IN MY LIFE even thought of saying to this girl “you does not have the right to feel that way”.
Please I could use some advice. I’ve been trying so hard to talk to her about my feelings but she won’t stop saying things like “you don’t have the right to feel like that” or “you were my first everything and I was not your first everything so shut up” (and usually gets very mad at me afterwards.
Thanks!

Alright so I have this chinese mini pc. I am attempting to get nvidia card working on linux but thats a different story.
I am stuck with aptio setup.
My question is : How do I assign my nvidia 3050(mobile) to HDMI 1 and my integrated graphics to hdmi 2?
Keep in mind this is a mobile card so no physical ports attached to it, the pc has 2 hdmi ports and a usb c (which I have an adapter for incase I need to assign anything to that)
When I go to *AMI graphic output policy* or whatever, it displays intel driver assigned to hdmi 1.
I then proceed to go into platform settings and set main display option to PCI
I reboot and save. Back in the bios, in ami settings again, it displays nvidia uefi driver. But it is assigned to "DFP2" whatever that is. Obviously the card doesnt appear in either windows or linux
So my question is, how do I assign nvidia gpu to hdmi 1? There are wayyyy to many settings with useless names and I cannot find anything online
Tldr; chinese mini pc, I want to assign nvidia card to hdmi 1 but it gets set to "DFP2" whenever I change platform settings
I hate aptio setup, so many options with useless descriptions
I have nowhere else to go but here. The mini pc in question is a "sinbun x830" with zero info online of course, only amazon and newegg listings. Not even a manual or a company page

I'm committed to a school for CS and Linguistics. I wrote my essays about being interested in NLP but in reality I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm very happy to be studying CS in the future, but I'm kind of scared of it at the same time.
I've been seeing it a lot online how the CS job market is really oversaturated, how you should have an internship during college, the projects you should be making on the side, consistency practicing leetcode and etc...
What should I do this summer so in like 1-2ish years I won't be saying"I should've done x y z"? Is practicing leetcode and trying to make projects the way to go? How big of a commitment should this work be? I'll be taking a course at my local cc in addition to working part time. All advice appreciated.

I'm looking for advice on next steps for a 12x20 shed to be built on-site with a concrete slab.
Issues:

1. Money
2. Permit is required
3. Inspections are required
4. Money

Plans:

• A-frame 12x20
• Concrete slab
• Large double door on the gable end (12' side)
• Personnel door + window + window on 20' side
• 8' walls
• 8/12 pitch
• Transom dormer (depending on cost)
• Loft space
• Siding must be cement fiberboard
• Wired for electric to be brought in through conduit through the slab floor
• No water
• Insulated now or sooner than later
• Moisture barrier wrap

Shed companies have quoted $20K-26K before electrical and without the slab. This has led me to research alternate paths.

• Quotes from 2 local draftspersons are $1200 and $1600 for design
• I am getting quotes for concrete, but expect to have about 300 to 350 sqft to account for both interior and exterior sections
• I have a few contractors, but they will want a build sheet and materials sheet of course
• If I go through a draftsperson for the build sheet and should also produce a materials sheet, it will pass my city's strict permitting process
• If I attempt to find plans online, there is no guarantee it passes permitting

Are there decent shed plans out there that are inexpensive or at least let me see what the build will look like before purchasing? I've seen Sketchup, but without knowing building code, it feels like that will be a waste of time and I'm better off paying for what will work.
Building it myself is not an option due to time and inexperience. I could hire a contractor to do it with based on his time and my purchasing materials -- it would be a great learning opportunity, but time is limited.
What am I not thinking about? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi everyone, first time posting here, so I hope I made the right decision. Also, disclaimer, excuse my English, but it's not my first language. So, a few months back, maybe a year, I (f22) got to know this that has now become a really close friend (m22) of mine. We got closer and closer and even though it was an online thing (for now), I basically confessed my feelings to him, and he actually did too, BUT in a really subtle way. He blamed it on his autism, and I totally get it, since I myself am not neurotypical, but the point is that I honestly don't know how to act! I'm naturally a really clingy person, and I tend to get anxious around mixed feelings and mixed signals, so it's obvious that his coldness kind of bothers me (i wouldnt tell him tho, cuz I wouldn't want him to feel pressured). Also, he states that he's close to being aroace, meaning he rarely feels romantic and/or sexual attraction. Now, point is that way back at the start he seemed to actually want to go forward by flirting and teasing, but now he just stopped doing that. And even if I try to start things or make a joke about it he just shrugs it off and plays hard to get – in a confuaing way, tho, since he doesn't continue with the joke and just goes on with whatever he was doing.
His attitude makes a lot of questions pop up in my head and i have no way to stop them. Has he stopped liking me? Is he afraid of something? Why did he go all the way with his exes and not me? Am I not worthy enough? Doesn't he like me enough? Obviously, if I were to ask him all of these questions he would surely take me for a paranoid (I am) and I wouldn't dream of it. But I just wish I could just ask him what he wants for us, if there even IS a "us".
Also, I forgot to mention that he's trans ftm but he hasn't transitioned yet, so this plays a big part on his inability on being too physical. Of course this doesn't bother me at all, cause I would like him even if he was a worm so I don't see this as a problem. The point is that I just don't know if his autism and asexuality are just excuses and he just doesn't like me enough. Help is appreciated. REALLY appreciated.

I wanted to make sure more people got to see this press release from Dakotans for Health (the group that submitted the "Restore Roe" petition last week).

Friends, It’s been a while, but we want to thank you very, very much if you signed our petition to put abortion rights on the ballot this Fall. The people deserve the right to decide this issue! ~If you are one of 55,000 South Dakotans who signed our petition to put Roe v. Wade abortion rights on the ballot this fall, it is possible your signature was randomly selected by the Secretary of State and is one of 723 whose validity will determine whether the Roe v. Wade initiative gets on the ballot.~ ~I’m reaching out today to let you know that the radical Right to Life and the “Life Defense Fund” or their agents are likely to contact you and ask you to remove your name from the petition you signed. They are already contacting signers and could contact you by email, text, telephone, or even make a visit to your home to try and convince you to sign an affidavit to withdraw your name from the petition you signed to restore reproductive rights in South Dakota.~ ~Please do not be fooled, and do not agree to remove your signature if you are asked. We deserve to vote. We deserve to choose.~Throughout this campaign, Right to Life and their so-called “Life Defense Fund” have lied about the Roe v. Wade initiative. Here is what they will say and why it is not true. They will lie and say the initiative will legalize abortion up to birth. It does not do so; it reinstates Roe v. Wade which never allowed late-term abortion except, when necessary, in the judgment of a physician to save a woman’s life or preserve her health. They will lie and say the initiative will prohibit parental consent or safe regulation of abortion procedures. It does not do so—these were allowed under Roe v. Wade and the initiative does not prohibit them. They will lie and say that the initiative will force doctors and nurses to perform abortions or face lawsuits. It does not do so. Federal law protects medical providers’ right to choose. The initiative does not require anyone to do anything. They will lie and say it allows taxpayer-funded abortions. It does not do so. We have watched them for months oppose the initiative, and every time their lips move, they lie. The Roe v. Wade Freedom Amendment will restore abortion rights to what they were under Roe v. Wade. This decision belongs to us, the people, not the politicians. The initiative lets us vote on it. These radical groups want to keep South Dakota law as it is, prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
Dakotans for Health Warns 55,000 Freedom Amendment Petition Signers of Coordinated Effort by Right to Life Organization
Dakotans for Health, spearheaded by co-founder Rick Weiland, is issuing a stark warning to the 55,000 signatories of its petitions aimed at putting the abortion issue on the ballot this fall in South Dakota. The organization cautions of a deliberate and organized campaign by the Right to Life (RTL) organization to coerce signers into withdrawing their support from the petition. In a post to the 55,000 individuals who lent their signatures to the Freedom Amendment petition, advocating for voters rather than politicians to decide the abortion rights of women in South Dakota, Weiland declared, “Right to Life has intensified their efforts to deceive you into retracting your support from our petition.” Weiland revealed instances where parishioners at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sioux Falls were provided with misleading materials, including a 'Liar Flyer,' and formal legal forms urging the removal of their names from the petition. He warned that similar tactics are being employed online, in public spaces, and within various churches across the state to pressure signers into renouncing their support. “Don’t be misled by their falsehoods. Politely remind them that your intention when signing was to empower voters to decide this crucial issue, and that remains unchanged,” Weiland emphasized. Dakotans for Health underscored the urgency of standing firm against this orchestrated attempt to undermine the democratic process. Weiland remarked, “It was evident from the outset that the Right to Life extremists controlling the State Legislature aimed to thwart our efforts when they hastily enacted emergency laws facilitating organized campaigns to coerce or intimidate petition signers into withdrawal.” He added, “They recognize that South Dakotans support granting women and their healthcare providers the autonomy to make informed decisions regarding their health, hence their desperate bid to obstruct the democratic right to vote on this profoundly personal matter.” In its concluding statement, Dakotans for Health reaffirmed the significance of democracy as a safeguard against governmental overreach. “Democracy is your shield against politicians dictating the course of your life. The right to vote on matters of paramount importance is the cornerstone of democracy,” the organization asserted. “We are encouraging signatories to reaffirm their commitment to upholding democratic principles and support for the Freedom Amendment by visiting www.dakotans4health.com,” Weiland concluded.

So be aware, if you signed the "Restore Roe" petition, these people might call you or even just show up at your house and ask you to remove your name. I suspect I saw a few of them out and about in my neighborhood already; there were a handful of people not going door to door but knocking on doors and checking off a list.

I just came out of a depressive episode, and started to feel more positive. I decided to start looking for a partner online, and received a message. He and I chatted a bit, before he turned the conversation into something lewd. After telling him I wasn’t interested in that, he proceeded with tearing apart my outward appearance, and accused me of being on drugs. The best course of action in my mind was to take a slew of purposely bad pictures and scrolled through my album to find all the funny (but unflattering) pictures. I deleted my “good pictures” and replaced them with that. I have officially begun the self-sabotage phase. If anyone wants a hideous meth head, I just might be your guy.

I am trying to buy a Ford F-150, 2019 or later, 4X4, Long bed, 3.5L V6, Reg or Extended cab. If extended cab must have HD Payload or equivalent package (this is to get a 2100lbs+ payload rating)
I have used all the online search engines I could find, and it's kind of a nightmare. They don't list information, or they put in the wrong information. Very few have a Carfax for me to confirm with, and they cost $25 a pop so it makes no sense to pay for every vehicle just to check the details and find out I don't want most of them. So I end up emailing them all asking them to confirm details. And almost all of them will only use the phone to talk. When you do ask for info, they give you info that can't be true for this vehicle.
Even the websites designed to make searching better, suck. AutoTrader keeps mysteriously losing my saved vehicles and searches. Plus of course none of the descriptions are formatted right, and most have conflicting information. They often lack basic information like the bed length. You can't filter on the specific engine, so you have to weed through a ton of the wrong one to find the right one if there's 2 that are similar. No listing of the information found on the door sticker, and no picture of the door sticker. Never a picture of the undercarriage. Many sites don't even have a way to contact the seller. CarMax is almost useless... Either be happy with the tiny information they have, or go away, you can't contact the place with the car. Other sites are literally just trying to hoover up your phone number so dealerships can spam you.
I'm also willing to go across the country to pick up the vehicle, but so many reviews have horror stories of showing up and the price is $3K more, or it's been sold.
It feels like a full time job just trying to track down one or two of the right vehicle. And even then I might get screwed later.
Is there an easier way? Why is it so hard to just find the vehicle I want and buy it? There's so much B.S. and it seems like it's not helping anybody.

Hi! I'm currently studying for my second MCAT attempt and I didn't realize I still had access to last year's prep material that I had already paid for. I don't know how to check how much longer I've got it for though or when it will expire. I'm Canadian and since the AAMC bills everything in USD, I'd of course love to not have to buy the section banks, practice tests, etc. (all the stuff in the full bundle) again but I have some concerns. I doubt I'll remember the answers to questions from last summer, but I'm worried about recognizing some CARS passages and stuff from the section banks and ending up with an inflated sense of confidence. If I do repurchase, I am thinking of buying this bundle, which is the same one I got last year, if that helps.
Does anything actually change from year to year, and is it enough of a change that I should buy the section banks again? Am I best off repurchasing or is it enough for me to reset the qbanks I have in the AAMC Prep Hub and just hope I don't remember anything enough to influence how prepared I feel?
