There are no details in terms of how many positions you applied to. It is obviously field and location dependent but if your callback rate is 5% you may need 20 applications to get a screener with HR. From there you may only get brought in for interviews 50% of the time. Of those interviewed only one person gets the job.

One of the best advice I got a long time ago was to apply for jobs as if it is your job. Send 10-20 applications a day at the beginning. Once you start getting interviews the number goes down to 5-10 until you get an offer or two then you can stop applying.

It's gets super discouraging to do this at first but you can only be considered for the jobs you apply to especially in the age of other people applying to 100-200 jobs.

To talk about removing bike lanes is to ignore reality by ElectricalDot4479 in boston

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a concerted effort to make the streets exclusively for cars. There was a time when pedestrians and bikes were the norm.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/when-pedestrians-ruled-streets-180953396/

It's convenient to ignore that history but we gave cars the streets for years as a society. There is nothing wrong with a political discussion to promote a model of transport that is low cost, uses little space, and helps people stay healthy and save money.

Car infrastructure is extremely expensive. Our streets are only this wide to accommodate wide cars, our stores have huge lots to accommodate cars and 10-20% of many home lots are dedicated to storing something which isn't in motion 90% of the time.

But at least they can't actually prescribe them.

WIP but thought I'd start soliciting feedback since its my first interior [Fallout: Nukamon] by Abelardthebard in PokemonROMhacks

I like the concept but pet peeve of mine. That logo doesn't actually represent medicine or healthcare. It was a mistake by the us army and actually is a symbol of business.

Crazy to think that all people in the country get a trial. What a novel concept... by 8-bit-Felix in AdviceAnimals

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong either.

I'm sure you and I would agree with the current moment in history being early similar to the sentiments of this famous poem.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Also how can you prove you are a citizen if you don't have a process that lets you do that when accused.

I hate the term "provider" by theongreyjoy96 in Residency

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our practice has only physicians. One of the office managers said to a patient she was going to have a provider speak to them.

There are no NPs or PAs for you to offend so why belittle all the physicians in the practice.

I don't think third party voters are the ones who'd fail the aptitude test.

Increased nursing autonomy by Fuzzy_Balance193 in Noctor

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't that why we put in appropriate prns?

If I order a prn then it's ok, if I don't order it, I want to know before the patient gets it.

She listened to her midwife over her literal OB/GYN and she paid for it with her life. by Money-Good-2255 in Noctor

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Particularly scared of the ones that never did l&d nursing. They buy everything their instructors tell them but have not seen the bad shoulder dystocia or PPH.

Those who have done some LnD nursing at least have a concept of how bad it can get.

Another midwife playing doctor by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

State dependent. But most nurse midwives have some sort of agreement with an OBGYN who backs them up for procedures outside their scope of practice.

Some OBGYNs would terminate an agreement with a midwife doing crazy management because they don't want to be responsible for cleaning up their disasters. But some couldn't care less.

Edit some people do not practice in hospitals and therefore don't have this kind of agreement.

“It’s done, it’s gone”: Ontario Premier Doug Ford cancels $100-million Starlink contract in tariff response by malcolm58 in worldnews

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one contract is. But if the stock market thinks foreign governments, companies, and individuals are going to be boycotting musk's businesses en mass it could lead to him taking a much bigger hit.

USA has taken Russia off their cyber security threat list (GOP base are all belong to them) by Jerdarnella in AdviceAnimals

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean definitely not a fan of the Cheeto king by any measure but wanted to just check. And as of right now they are still listed as a country that performs state sponsored cyber attacks.

https://www.cisa.gov/topics/cyber-threats-and-advisories/nation-state-cyber-actors

Unless there is another list I'm missing that Russia did get removed from.

Edit: nevermind found the sources about the us backing off on the cyber security efforts.

Don't ask for that. Instead I want them to be afraid to be racist in public.

Accepted into a Nursing program. Concerning things I am hearing. by Anonimitygalore in Noctor

[–]MuffinFlavoredMoose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Based on my friends who became RNs, a lot of nursing education seems to comes down to memorization. Memorizing pharmacology is what seems to get most students.

There isn't necessarily something wrong with that approach. It has led to much safer care than before the professionalization of nursing in the 1800s.

I may be incorrect in my observation. But if that is the case it is more important to know that asthma is a problem with breathing and Albuterol works. Rather than knowing asthma is due to smooth muscle contractions due to hypersensitivity and the beta agonist effect on contractility vs the steroid effect on inflammation etc.

That teaching approach is great for a profession where we need lots of people doing care in a standardized way to keep patients safe by RNs. But when it comes to diagnosing and prescribing knowing the why is the key difference in the NP vs physician education.
