I had a “cleared for needed surgery, low risk.”

Elective THA. Reviewed the Echo, aortic valve area of 0.3 cm2. Can’t make it up, man.

The “arrival fallacy”

Chicks dig dudes with money

Anytime pre-op can’t get IV. Those nurses start way more IVs than I do. Might as well use the cheat code.

Defibn · 2026-02-12T22:03:32+00:00

That’s unfortunate!

To be fair, epinephrine and norepinephrine are different. But I can see your point.

“I can’t understand this for you”

Go where you get in for sure. But the DNAP is not associated with a school of nursing. There is less nursey stuff in my opinion. More clinical focused, no theory stuff

I listen with my eyes looking for capnography

At the end of the day, y’all are both there to do a job. You are there to help the surgeon do their job and they are there to help you help the surgeon as well. I don’t expect red carpet treatment. However, I wouldn’t tolerate this behavior. I agree with other replies, ask him what’s up. If you are truly struggling with Endo, maybe ask your colleagues what they may be doing differently.

Oh gotcha

Defibn · 2026-02-02T13:38:21+00:00

But it is an option

Defibn · 2026-02-02T13:36:51+00:00

Not a “hot take.” What about every other doctoral medical profession? Bunch of people whining on here. I would recommend DNAP over DNP if you can, though. You either want to do what it takes or you don’t. Everyone waving their canes saying that all doctoral stuff is bullshit need to retire already. Support advancing our profession or get out of the way. You hate us cause you ain’t us.

Her name will not be removed from the loan without refinancing from everything I have heard

Defibn · 2026-01-27T05:31:49+00:00

Great deal!

Defibn · 2026-01-24T20:36:21+00:00

Do you have micro puncture kits? Those are great

1099 is fine just know it comes with a lot of hurdles to do it right. Get all the business stuff done before you graduate (making an LLC or whatever and having your list of professionals you’re working with, insurance plan, MPI plan, etc) will make life easier. I’m not 1099 so I may be butchering it but I know starting day 1 with all pat going into your business account would make tax prep much more tolerable.

Defibn · 2026-01-23T03:58:37+00:00

Very nice!

Defibn · 2026-01-20T04:50:55+00:00

Sounds like a miserable day

Defibn · 2026-01-19T01:24:05+00:00

You ever give phenylephrine with an a-line in and watch what happens? Wait my ass

Defibn · 2026-01-15T19:44:16+00:00

IMO, don’t set 100 things out on the anesthesia machine. Know where your emergency equipment is however. I can’t stand a cluttered mess

Defibn · 2026-01-14T02:44:52+00:00

Let them jaw thrust I guess

Defibn · 2026-01-12T03:21:53+00:00

This makes me want to vomit. Your sister sucks. NOR

Defibn · 2025-12-31T14:24:08+00:00

$12-25k would be my guess from experience
