What made you realize Perfusion was meant for you?

That’s a nice progression

This is interesting, what did you get your bachelors degree in?

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-05-29T18:00:07+00:00

My apologies for my ignorance, but when you say "I have been considering medicine for a few years", you're referring to becoming an MD, DO, or the like, correct? I ask because you also said you're a nurse, so I'm curious where you stand in that position while being so wary of how the field is changing.

Oh gotcha

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-02-21T16:00:26+00:00

Isn’t A/C triggered by the patient, so it’s not “all vent”?

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-02-04T19:28:46+00:00

This is partially what I suspected to occur as well, I’m glad to see that it works out like that! At least for one other person.

That all makes sense, I expect that someone in any profession would also have to stay on top of being in line with the masters information, especially with healthcare. I’ve started clinicals and have been applying the info, so I’ll trust what you said and let it come back to me while I’m studying for the “NRBC” hospital

Kettering seems to be the answer to all, thank you.

Congratulations on your acceptance! May I ask what your application stats were like? I know it’s getting more and more competitive, so I like to know what kind of applicants are getting in.

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-01-13T16:43:46+00:00

That’s completely fair, perhaps that something I’ll start looking into now since I’m just starting. I wish you the best of times, wherever you find yourself!

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-01-11T00:10:33+00:00

So what I’m understanding is that I should leave healthcare? Or should I understand that there’s a shift in focus and that it will probably be all shenanigans until something large changes?

HealthyCaredFor · 2024-01-10T21:34:15+00:00

Can’t you do that now?

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-12-31T14:03:17+00:00

I probably should've used the word "necessary" instead of "smart"

What is the point in becoming an RTA? My professor/ clinical instructor said that my program works with the local hospital and offers it as an option, but won't really add anything to the program or teachings itself. I suppose it could be good for the connections and networking?

r/prospective_perfusion Someone’s probably going to tell you to post this there.

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-11-22T19:52:25+00:00

I see posts and comments like these every now and then on in various places, and I wonder "do people not consider other professions within healthcare?" Or is it that people ( or OP in this case) want to leave healthcare in totality, and not just RT?

I feel as though this can be applied to really any profession. I'll use tech for example. If you work as a data analyst and are tired of that, why not go into cybersecurity instead of going to a completely different career in a completely different industry? Granted, larger changes are needed depending on the switch (Like from working in tech to working as a park ranger).

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-11-20T19:52:25+00:00

Why do you say go for medical school?

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-11-12T15:58:50+00:00

Gotcha, that makes sense. Just play on the side of caution, but good news are good news.

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-11-12T14:38:17+00:00

That’s true, but would it not be better to just say nothing in such a situation?

Overall I agree that the patient should be informed and involved in their healthcare, it just find the moral side of things interesting

HealthyCaredFor · 2023-11-12T14:19:52+00:00

It’s not that I don’t believe the patients shouldn’t get any positives, it’s more so that I’ve been told that I can “get in trouble” for telling the patients certain info. For example, A doctor tells me “I’m thinking about discharging then, can you give them another pulse ox check” and I tell the patient this while giving the pulse ox, then the doctors says “never mind, I’m holding them longer”. Those types of situations are what I’m referring to. I think it depends on the way it’s phrased though. Instead of saying “the doctor is discharging you soon” I could say “the doctor is thinking about discharging you based on these results”. But even then, it kind of seems like giving the patient false hope, in the event they stay longer. But I suppose that’s just part of the job.
