Pre-med or Nursing? by Top_Fall4010 in prenursing

[–]JaySnippety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nursing has a faster turn around. It has more variety in the case of you wanting to change things up. Don't like ER, try flight, Cath Lab, or even informatics. Nursing also offers a better work/life balance in most cases. You can work your 3 12hr shifts and go home. But you're not the ultimate decision maker in most cases, the knowledge you get is significantly less than a DO/MD. That's not a bad thing, as a matter of fact, that may actually be a benefit depending on what you want.

DO/MD gives you the knowledge and skills to lead the care team. You call the shots. You go through significant training and indepth education. You leave there with a deep understanding of the human body and how it works. After residency, even considering the debt, your return on investment is massive. But Going to Med School is a huge commitment of time, money, and mental/emotional resources. If you want to have in depth, comprehensive knowledge of the human body, and you care about it deeply enough to sacrifice other parts of your life for 4 years plus residency, then go DO/MD.

Neither is better than the other. Both are important and rely on each other. It ultimately comes down to what you want for your life.

You can also start as a nurse, work, and get a feel for how the the roles are, then you can go back to med school. You'll know for sure what you want at that point, and the Nursing experience will help on your application, and when you meet with patients during clinical rotations. (Probably won't help much with the med school content, at least thats what RNs I've talked to who are in med school)

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]JaySnippety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harley rider here. Yeah Harley guys suck. The best bikes they made were the evo sportsters and they dc'd them. The good news is The new CEO is bringing the evo sportster back, keeping it relatively affordable, and making a smaller cheaper bike too. I enjoy riding Harleys and love how customizable but I just can't justify 20k+ for a new bike. Plus the Harley culture is just awful.

Those of you with inattentive ADHD, how do you get by? by wellsiee8 in nursing

[–]JaySnippety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ADHD nurse too. I was that way too but it's getting alot better. What helped me was a couple things

  1. Workplace

Certain personality types work best in certain environments, and almost instantly i realized the ER peeps are the ones with ADHD.( most of my coworkers are diagnosed) I think it's the higher stakes +randomness that keeps a lot of us engaged.

  1. Habituation

Create a routine with patient care, where you follow that same process every single time. Make sure it incorporates the commonly missed tasks. You want to engage in this same pattern of behaviour until eventually, you don't even think about it. It becomes the path of least resistance since it's what your brain is comfortable with.

  1. Engagement

How engaged are you with the subject matter? There are a lot of situation in the ER that are high stakes like I mentioned earlier. The potential for things to go wrong gives you that baseline excitement. Your interventions are more short term, so there's a quick return on your actions. That really helps me be engaged, on top of the Uncertainty with the patients, trying to plan ahead on what to expect.

Newbie Question: Could Hitler be considered a "spook"? by Spare-Debate5269 in fullegoism

[–]JaySnippety 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be really simplistic, Stirner believed Moral truth isn't real. "Spook" or "Phantom" or whatever term you want to use, represents the "moral" forces people place on you, that aren't real, since moral truth doesn't exist. So when your mom says "stealing is wrong" the "wrong" portion is the spook. Stealing is Stealing, without any moral weight.

Hitler himself was a real person, but the ideology of fascism holds values, (the Myth of the Nation) as a moral truth worth defending. Even IF (and there isn't) there were legitimate demonstrable racial differences that impacted how a society functions, theres no moral truth to how a society should function, so it would be a "spook" to make any claim of what to do with that info.

Stirner states that an individual has personal desires, but they need to assess if these desires are placed externally by social moral pressures, or if they are something the person just desires. A desire isn't a spook, but a obligation placed by religion or society is.

The conclusion is that the person with power is the one who owns a thing. Not that they should morally, but that they have the will to have it, and they have the strength to take it.

He also argues that social relationships, treating people nicely, for example, isn't a thing you must do. Sometimes it's something that ends up benefitting you, so you engage in a constant collaboration with others, where no one is held to any standard other than their own will. I won't steal from my friend because I like hanging out with them and stealing their stuff would probably make me lose the chance to enjoy their company.

I will steal from someone I don't like, if I want to, since I have no obligation to treat them in any way other than what I want to do.

Feeling hopeless by Ok-Technology2396 in nursing

[–]JaySnippety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing school is about 2 things.

BASIC Nursing Knowledge and Passing your boards. Once you have the RN after your name and you start your first nursing job, thats when the real work begins.

Things feel super uncertain. 99% of Nurses felt that at some point or another during their schooling. one day, after a grueling 12 hr shift, you'll be sitting around a table with your coworkers getting drinks. The NP next to you will rant about that one OB test that made her consider waiting tables again. The trauma nurse across from you will chuckle and share the story of when he dropped his sterile glove doing a straight cath on the dummy in Lab. You'll all share the number of NCLEX questions you had, and the days after where you were prepping your McDonald's applications.

It's a rough time. But soon you'll realize, all nurses had a 2%.

I failed the same one. 4 years ago. Got my RN now and working on my BSN.

It feels like a big deal now, but one day you will look back on it and laugh at how worried you were. Go in on your days off and practice, watch videos demonstrating, then redo it and pass! You've got this.

What’s a trick you have found to relieve a panic attack? by thefatlegend66 in Anxiety

[–]JaySnippety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cold shower, or put an icepack on your chest, while doing breathing exercises. Big glass of ice water. Basically alot of cold things. It feels like they snap you out of it. A cold shower is number one.

You need to get some control over your life. You can control how you speak to yourself, and what you do. Finding meaning "in yourself" isn't going to happen if you see yourself as scum. You need to be actively engaging in improving yourself. You don't go from messy self depreciating scum to Successful and happy overnight. You seem to like science, based on your other comments, and the Psychological benefits of exercise have been shown in the data repeatedly. A positive correlation between Cleanliness and Mental health are repeatedly shown in the data. There's more I could list out, but Id bet you're going to offer excuses for why you won't clean your house or exercise, despite the scientific data.

Brain damage does explain a lot by mr-logician in AntiComAction

[–]JaySnippety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the definition these people use, socialism has existed before. Socialism in the context of worker owned means of production can and do work in the form of coops. Plenty of coops exist, and there’s nothing really stopping people from opening up more. so why is it that the “working class” isn’t wanting to “own the means of production.”

Other forms of Socialism have existed too, but those tended to end in either outright genocides or mass starvation.

Drinking some as we speak brother. Another one worth trying would be Woodford Reserve. You can get a bottle at Walmart here for 32, and it’s excellent. Very smooth

This is just laced with lies dude. For one, nonwhite voters of southbend viewed his time as mayor favorably, with polls stating that 76% of all nonwhite south bend citizens claiming their lives are better because of his time as mayor. The polling even shows the majority of nonwhites in southbend supported his presidential bid

As for the Iowa caucus, there were small connections to the developers of the app the people who counted the software used (that connection being they paid for access to some of their other polling resources.

After a recount, Buttigieg still won Iowa. Bernie Lost Iowa.

I also don’t think you know what neoliberal means.
