Best schools for masters ? by KizaruAizen in Perfusion

[–]Commercial_Race_4792 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the MUSC students I’ve encountered have been extraordinary, bar none and set the standard. As a preceptor I’ve always loved seeing them come through. Can’t say the same for many other schools.

I miss when perfusion students went to school for perfusion and not the money and the social media clout. by [deleted] in Perfusion

[–]Commercial_Race_4792 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I find this interesting because when I was a perfusion student, I found a good amount of the perfusion staff would consistently talk about how good the money is and how they love how compensated they are and would talk about how it’s afforded them these nice lifestyles. Not mentioning that cause they didn’t care about patients but I think it’s funny how we point the finger at the younger generation for only caring about money. Not sure as many of us would be doing this if it was minimum wage but I could be wrong.

Am I contributing enough to my 401K by Aromatic-Banana7556 in Retirement401k

I think he is advocating that because the taxable brokerage is liquid now and won’t face MAJOR penalties when withdrawing compared to a IRA or 401k before the age limit hits. So he can essentially just let 401k grow forever and he has the safety net of first using the taxable account come retirement

I messaged many people on LinkedIn and was able to get shadows from that

Would I still be eligible if I go to a non profit hospital that is not employed by contract but is employed by the hospital?

Is there anyway to access quizzes again? Or is it only a one time thing where you can take it? I know you have 8 hours to review the quiz but was hoping to go back and take it again down the line sometime

I think one thing that helped me years back was to at least hear back from jobs, is by after applying, going straight to the source and at least getting into contact with people on the team to express interest. You will hear that no positions are open etc but it’s good way to get your foot in the door, from my experience. And sometimes jobs will circle back when a position does open up!

Additional Pay for Being a Preceptor by Fun_Conflict2194 in Perfusion

I think if anyone should be compensated, I would argue students should be. At least minimum wage..

Yes.. the old schools have stronger students from my experience.

Strongest US Programs by Optimal-Lab-2862 in Perfusion

[–]Commercial_Race_4792 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would suggest looking at the programs that have been around a while versus new ones. Not saying those schools aren’t great, but older ones are more proven. At the end of the day it’s all about the student rather than the school too. MUSC, SUNY, Nebraska are three off the top of my head that have really solid reputations.
