Well there was this one time we invaded Iraq. Although to be fair, no one joins the military as a get rich quick scheme...

Technically I won prize money for my Putnam performance, but I didn't do it for the money.

All of my jobs have been pretty pedestrian, and I'm not a big risk taker.

8-10 hours a day I cut up microscopic pieces of corn and write about it on a computer. -__-

Just finished the 1st semester of nursing school!

*bends over* Do your worst.

Bless you, I got a useless degree and went back to school in my late 20s to get my RN I did one semester and dropped out because it was so awful.

Nursing instructors eat their own, it was a terrible experience. It wasn't humbling but humiliating. I stumbled into success in business but I still think about nursing school a lot. One of my realest failures where I straight up tapped out.

Currently a surgical tech, and looking back semester 1 in pretty much every test there were at least a few questions that I knew the answer to because of my job; but that I'm positive we didn't even scratch in lecture or any of the assigned reading; and a lot of questions that we only kind of covered, but required a lot of reading between the lines which was also made way easier by my ST experience.

Idk how people who don't already have a medical background are doing it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah I had a slight leg up I worked as a CNA in the trauma/burn ICU all through college so a lot of practical skills were second nature but yeah we were expected to know a lot of things that weren't taught in lecture or practicals.

what?

Nurses are treated like shit, by the government, hospital administration and patients alike. To willingly suffer such constant torment from all sides, one would have to be a masochist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I try to be as nice as possible to all people until they give me a reason to change my behavior. Everyone deserves respect until they gamble it away 💖

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

Don't forget how the patient's family treats nurses.

I guess studying for 5-6 years is considered wild.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Naw dog. Nursing school is way more high stakes. You can get kicked out of the program for very little, it's very high stakes. There are exams that you have to get 100% on or you're out of the program. Iirc, you can get kicked out of the program for not being 15 minutes early too many times. Not for being late, for not being early. At least we compensate them with mediocre pay and shitty hours and horrible bosses upon graduation...

Depends on the nursing degree. Usually only 2-4, some programs are only a year.

The MDs and DOs do 4+
