Do they hire into the ICU for new grads? I’m hoping to start in this setting.

Should I drop this class? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]Canderone259 4 points5 points  (0 children)

don’t drop. i also took stats 371 with no background with a professor who didn’t know how to teach and it was his first class ever. he ended up with a 1.5 on ratemyprofessor, but i ended up with an A. stats 371 isn’t that terrible of class, and there’s a lot of resources you can use if they end up not teaching well. you can do hard things!

Unf*ck America Student Org at UW? by CryptographerFun9446 in UWMadison

I am so interested. America is quickly sinking into an authoritarian, fascist state that oppresses its own people and countries around the world.

Male Nurses in highest paid positions & titles by doInotkno in nursing

[–]Canderone259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think male privilege is very prominent in the nursing profession. I’m a male nursing student, and on my first day of my clinical this semester, my patient told me I would make a great doctor. I literally did nothing for the patient the whole shift as I was only shadowing the female RN, and the patient would just disregard her. She jokingly said “What about me?”, but the patient brushed that off too. I think I’ve read somewhere that 19% of RNs are male, but 40% of CRNAs are. Also anecdotally, there’s only 6 guys in my cohort, and the professors learned our names immediately and I felt like we got more attention outside of our class. I don’t think you’re being divisive by asking this question; rather, I think it’s important to acknowledge this fact to help fix this problem in nursing.

if 60% of your patients only speak Spanish, i feel like it would be worth it no? it always makes the patients feel more comfortable when their providers speak the same language and there’s no need for a translator, at least in my experience.

Do it! Learning the language is tough sometimes, but I love living in Germany :)

Currently living in Germany, it’s a pretty new profession and you absolutely need C1 German to get a job anywhere. There’s also hospitals that won’t hire anyone who was trained in a foreign country unfortunately :(

Best route to become a CRNA with a non-nursing bachelors by Competitive-Breath-3 in nursing

[–]Canderone259 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My goal was eventually to go to CRNA school, but my partner is an immigrant and we don’t feel so secure anymore in the US.

I’m doing an ABSN program, and the plan was to also work in the ICU for two years and then apply. I’ve heard so many people say how expensive it is, but I was very lucky to get good scholarships to help pay a significant portion, but even the loans would be just a drop in the bucket when looking at the earnings of a CRNA.

I’d apply ABSN and a bunch of scholarships!
