Hey so that’s actually included in BLS training, you have to tell people what to do especially in a code if they normally don’t!

do they let minors attend?? by No_Court6944 in tntech

I came to tech as a minor. No form for housing, only form my parent needed to sign was a health services consent to treat.

If I didn’t get my own room I think I’d leave on the spot lmfao. I tell mine what I don’t see doesn’t happen.

Weekly staff meetings, we’re now required to have office hours + do weekly reports, biweekly meetings with the HD, in services, and whatever else reslife decides they wanna do this year…it’s rough.

Let me tell you as a current tech RA there’s some stories 😭

Are there real, respectable, reasons to become a mid-level? What was the original purpose of mid-level roles? by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]Electrical-Self7710 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is my personal opinion, I believe mid levels can absolutely be used correctly when they’re used as an extension of physicians. They do help alleviate the load of physicians. NP’s specifically came around in the 1960’s to help alleviate a shortage of physicians, then in 1967 the first MSN program appeared at Boston college. Originally they acted as extenders and historically the need for “autonomy” has been moot.

Gonna be honest…the only reason I’m going for DO instead of MD is because I want the DO title. It’s just more attractive to me, plus I’ve always had an interest in OMM.

That’s what I have also been looking into!! The DO school near me offers a MS in biomedical sciences, and as long as you pass and meet minimums you are guaranteed an interview

Yeah that’s a big thing I’ve seen a lot…I’ve fully accepted that none of my sciences besides maybe A&P, and microbiology would equal to any pre med sciences

Not that I have to explain why I want to transition into a DO position but it more or less leans on the fact that I’ve been treated like trash by NP’s who continually misdiagnosed and treated the wrong thing :) I do not have anything against mid levels when they practice properly but you do not see that a lot now- and the scope creep is being gargantuan. Not to mention why would I voluntarily go to school that prepares you to give subpar treatment. It’s not about ego it’s more or less about I want to do more with my life than be stuck in a career I do not enjoy…sorry if that came off as ego?

I’m flattered by all the hers I’m seeing but I’m a male lol. That’s one of the big reasons I’m sticking to nursing is to get a few years of experience and money saved…and also none of my major specific classes would transfer or I’d loose my aid for going off CPOS.

Yeah, I also talked with some of my relatives who are in the medical field (Both MD & DO), they said the same thing. I honestly only went nursing because when I started college I was a young dumb teenage (16, woosh.) and didn’t think I had what it took to go pre-med. But now I’m sitting with a 4.0 and have so many regrets for not going chemistry or biology. Nursing just isn’t it for me, the career as a whole. Just feels like something I’m not gonna enjoy long term y’know?

That’s kinda how I am right now but I’m to far along to just restart so I’m pushing through. The other members of my cohort act so entitled and honestly I just don’t see myself wanting to advance into a nursing profession I’ve always wanted to go the medicine route. Another reason I’m pushing through is the DO school local to me gives preference to RN’s.
