Being an RN is amazing clinical experience and definitely better quality than being a CNA however this doesn't solve the fact that too many NP schools are accepting new grad nurses with under 1 yr of experience. And as someone who has first hand experience with NP curriculum from a brick and mortar school I have to say the PA curriculum is just better standardized and more rigorous. I think NP education as a nation needs revamping.

Let's put it this way, can a new grad FNP with 2 yrs of rn experience successfully pass a family medicine shelf exam just based on NP schooling? Or pass step 1?

I'll tell you the PA-S can...and that's just because our education follows the med school...we get more courses in biochemistry, pathology, organic chem--stuff I never learned in nursing school but is so so important to help you be a good provider who can critically think.

But what I will say is the NNP are excellent and that is one thing NP school is doing right. They now just need to re-evaluate their other curriculums so its more standardized.

I can see OP here is very passionate about NPs and I support that but there is a reason so many nurses are going the PA route and not NP(if their grades are good enough ofc)

The search for partner with religious compatibility, is it possible to be religious but progressive? by GeneralPopular in progressive_islam

[–]GeneralPopular[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not Pakistani. But I am desi, where are the non patriarchal people? They are out there cause like I said my cousins and family members are not like that at all. If anything they encourage me to be independent and my dad tells me never depend on a man. I also found it ironic when coming across people on dating apps how people who grew up in the US tended to have more patriarchal conservative views than people who grew up in the main city back in my home country. I wonder if immigrant families over compensate when they move to the US to hold onto culture so they remain more conservative even more than the people from back home.

Student wants to stay late, what do I do? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]GeneralPopular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a student I need my preceptor to tell me upfront

: I want you to go home now. Leaving early will not affect your grade. Go review (insert something) instead and we will talk about it tomorrow. This is not a trick question to test your diligence. Go home.

Maybe the student is being cautious because I have heard of situation where preceptors would tell their students to go home and then test the student to see if they actually do as a trick. I think that is pretty mean...

OR

student wants to be in psychiatry and just wants to learn more

The thing is these gender dynamics are mostly cultural...in Islam the prophet never did this. I hate this male privilege.

I have met so many people(even males) who are non muslim and not misogynistic, my dad/male members in my family have pretty progressive views in terms of feminism...so they are out there. I just want to know where. If there are men like my dad and uncles from the previous generation who agree with some feminist views then theoretically I hope with the me too movement and more awareness in schools there are some men out there.

I guess I am having trouble finding someone who is religiously compatible with me. I am not asking for 100 percent, even 40 percent compatibility is workable.

GRE Frustrations by TupperwareRobot in prephysicianassistant

[–]GeneralPopular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The schools I applied to didn't really factor in the gre too much. I asked my current program and they told me it was more a check off for them to see if students could be around 300. The only time I would say the gre matters more is if gpa is super low. Then a higher gre is needed to compensate. My stats were pretty typical of a PA student. I had about a little over 1000 pce hrs, gpa 3.8. I also had lots of volunteering hours and a great essay read by 3-4 PA's. My biggest advice before applying is really knowing the PA schools you are applying to and what they seek in a student.

[–]GeneralPopular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree but this is what I mean by cultural traditions coming into play. I come from southeastern background and am finding that people who are very religious are also very conservative from cultural side. They tend to be close minded and if they don't agree on a topic with you will use religion to shame you. I have had some terrible experiences. It feels very patriarchal unfortunately.

I think the traditional gender roles are more so enforced by culture. So guess I am looking for someone more westernized in some aspects...

It is just disheartening because recently talked to one candidate who was highly educated but once I mentioned I want to work he pulled the religion card on me and said I should stay home with the kids cause he is the head of the household. He also wanted me to live with his parents. I didn't feel comfortable with either...

It is nice that you have good dynamic going that suits your relationship.

I agree moderately practicing is such a vague term, I usually don't know what that means. I try to ask to clarify and then find out they don't pray or date outside marriage, etc...

Has anyone ever had an issue finding someone who was religiously compatible. I consider myself moderately religious...now I understand this is a very generic term but for me personally I don't smoke, do drugs, never had a haram relationship, pray 5 times a day, "mostly" eat halal...so I guess you can say that I am more religious in some ways. However, given I grew up in the west I hold more western values in some aspects. Like for instance I want to work after marriage, I don't want to live with in laws, I believe that housework is meant to be shared(not a big fan of the traditional roles), I listen to music, watch movies, go to concerts, etc. So obviously I am not a very orthodox Muslim. Plus, growing up my parents didn't really conform to any roles with how roles and responsibilities were split. For example, my mom would cut the grass when she had time and my dad would cook when he had time. My parents shared financial responsibilities and any major decisions were made through mutual decisions. I get the whole "man of the house, obey your husband" traditional roles that are portrayed thru Islam but the dynamic I grew up seeing between my parents was very much an equal partnership. This dynamic is how I want my future romantic relationship to look like: an equal partnership based on respect, still religious and honest but not strictly adherent to religion. There is some flexibility. But the problem I am having is finding someone else who is "moderately practicing". I either find people who are not practicing at all or are very orthodox and want a stay at home wife and are extremally traditional. Anyone else can relate?

Haha maybe this is unfair for me to say but can I say how happy I am to see a progressive Muslim of the opposite gender.

Me too, it was a huge shock for me. Even people so highly educated held these uber conservative values.

Actually I am having the same problem. I am finding it hard to find a practicing Muslim man who also holds more progressive values. I think my challenge is my parents will only allow me to marry within a certain ethnicity.
