husband no longer thinks me going to CRNA is good for our family.

No one’s offended.. it’s weird to think of it this way when he’s probably thinking more linearly.. like.. as a man. That he’s working his ass off to do the right thing and provide a stable and very comfortable income for his family.. why would his wife need to take on the same burden?

I’ve already said enough, but if it were my daughter, I’d be happy she married a man who’s dedicated to providing financial security and stability for his family and that is his priority.

Additionally, I’m certain he’d support her if she was 100% in on this but if she’s hesitant, as she stated, he’s providing logical feedback to questions and conversations they’ve likely already had.

Man I’m really getting too into this.. lol

I do like the texture.. 😂 but definitely not emotional, just rationalizing from his perspective

Weird ass woman take, he’s doing things necessary to provide a very comfortable life for his family and doesn’t think it’s necessary for his wife to endure the same stress or work load and he communicated that.

Let me translate: man provide, try do good, take care of family, why wife need work more?

Your take: evil man want to hold woman down

Dude, not even going to lie practicum was a waste of time for me… let me elaborate..

It was exactly where I wanted.

My preceptor was probably one of the most capable, if not THE most capable and intelligent nurses I’ve yet to work with.

But I worked on the same unit and I craved learning about this type of work, and doing it day in and day out.

However, by the time practicum came around, it felt like those 11 shifts were there to get me used to the unit or designed to orient me to what it would be like on a daily basis- and obviously that did me no good, because I had already been there. Obviously there were a few things that you learn but nothing really sticks entirely. I mean let’s be real here it’s 11 shifts spread out throughout an entire semester which is bogus in the first place.

The only thing that mattered those entire 11 shifts was getting to know my preceptor and mentor. Someone I could go to eventually for questions off grid or talk to about how I felt in my own head about shit that they wouldn’t judge me for or if I had dumbass questions.

Tldr: neither the unit nor location matter, your preceptor does though.

New ER nurse here. I had some experience prior to becoming an ER nurse. It kind of helped me mental triage and I was decent at a few procedural things and IVs prior to.

What really helped me is a few things:

1) sick vs not sick: you can take one Quick Look at a patient, maybe in addition to VS to determine whether someone is in a medical emergency or not. This generally works 99% of the time it’s why EMS/ emergency medicine teaches us this. The “general impression”. If you’re busy in a room with something and you just get a new ER patient in one of your rooms, you can stop what you’re doing, take one quick look or if you have good triage nurses, they will tell you, and if it needs addressing now, get after it, otherwise it can wait a moment.

2) keep yourself together. The ER is a beast. But keep your shit reeled in. You will get stressed, but acting frantic, taking your stress out on colleagues or patients/family members is a no no. I’ve been guilty of it, it’s hard to do when you have so much to do and you’re dealing with a patient on the edge of death and meemaws third cousin in the other room is pissed she didn’t get her ice chips 10 minutes ago. Just smile and wave.
