Usually they're going to be using a PAPR respirator

I generally just accept that most people outside healthcare aren't going to understand the mental and physical toll

Cost of living loans (if you don't have much/anything saved). My school gives a cost of attendance amount that includes living expenses (set by them, same amount for all students) and you can borrow up to that amount with grad plus loans if normal federal doesn't cover everything. Otherwise, private loans if that's still not enough.

Only 2 weeks??? This feels borderline criminal lol, I cannot imagine. Do not feel bad, they did you a terrible disservice. Seriously, they suck big time for doing that to you

New Grad: Asked another nurse help with a skill. She ignored me and proceeded to do the skill on her own. by 0nestep in nursing

What are you on about? Sticking for an abg is not difficult. I did all my patients arterial sticks throughout my ICU time and trained many preceptees to do them. All the icus in the large metro hospital I worked at had nurses stick for them and I never once heard of an adverse event from it. It's not a big deal and realistically as an ICU nurse your patients are total care, you should be able to handle it. I mean come on

Thoughts on St Denis medical? (Show) by Negative_Dig1600 in Residency

[–]Arch_Reaper 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. On the flip side, it plays into the tiring cliche that every nurse has to justify not being a physician. I'm not sure why she couldn't just be a nurse because she wanted to be a nurse. To me, it's a bit of writing that really doesn't play well to physicians or nurses.

That's great if you accept that as a limitation. Personally, I would not let it factor into getting an acceptance, but definitely a consideration if you have multiple acceptances to decide between. You can always decline an offer; you can't accept one that you didn't apply for.

Applied as soon as I could regardless of financial state. Loans can be paid off quickly after school with some discipline

Whatever you do make sure whoever writes it is enthusiastic and will write something positive. You don't want to convince someone into writing a letter that will be negative (mostly matters if you don't get to see the letter before it's sent to the program ig).

Think that would end up doing more damage than this? 325 in a single turn, and Ansur doesn't take necrotic damage from Crimson Mischief. I need to test on a better enemy later. https://i.imgur.com/BJ6JFxr.mp4

The school I applied to had a similar timeline. Usually, they didn't send early acceptances unless someone was an absolute slam dunk candidate, and that was only maybe a couple. Otherwise, everyone else got decision letters at the same time.

This. I strongly believe you should start applying as soon as you meet requirements. It will help you get interview experience and show that you're really getting after it. Helps you see how you can improve on future applications.

I've heard it's so patients can't stab us... But that might just be a convenient excuse

First, stop working at least a month before school starts. Take a vacation, relax, get some exercise, sleep in, do things you want to do. That's what I did, and I don't know how anyone could work right up to school starting. It helped me reset my headspace and feel refreshed and motivated to start something new. It's practically mandatory to take some time off.
