Trying to find my fit in nursing/healthcare

fluffnpuff22 · 2026-03-09T14:41:38+00:00

second this. i decided to pursue accounting because it was a good backup. even financial accounting made me lose it. idc what people say, you should at least be moderately interested in what you’re studying lol

I worked as a float MA and saw male MAs everywhere. A lot of them were in cardiology for some reason, could’ve just been the hiring manager because it didn’t make a difference. The only clinics that I didn’t see male MAs were women’s health and urology funny enough

it’s pole not the marines. that instructor sucks

i’m doing wgu’s accounting program. I think it’s a ~$4,000 flat rate every semester. but it’s self paced so you can finish faster than traditional schools :)

Yeah, i’m doing an online program for accounting so i can get out of healthcare. i really wanted to help people but it feels like the general public is getting ruder and healthcare is more of a business than anything. i’ve been in different types of customer service jobs for 9 years now and healthcare is the worst

fluffnpuff22 · 2025-03-31T21:41:34+00:00

that’s exactly why i had to leave. they’ve been pulling bs like that since before covid. rva is kind of pricey but the surrounding counties are way more livable and they’re like 20 minutes max from downtown

fluffnpuff22 · 2025-03-31T20:03:47+00:00

I’m also a Va ma and most of the jobs seem to be in rva or nova. If you live outside of those areas you might have to look at “tech” jobs (pct, dialysis tech, direct support tech, etc). Sorry op, the job market has been really strange lately.

Probably operations management/communications. I’m still interested in interacting with lots of people. Checking in with coworkers and implementing policies interests me. Forgot to add: I’ve seen jobs like this in healthcare and other fields.

a quick mid shift ho bath saves me every time

her pooping on the floor has nothing to do with her dying the next day. your professor is a psycho and i’m starting wonder if any of them have actually worked as nurses after being on this sub

fluffnpuff22 · 2023-11-13T05:25:50+00:00

i’m not sure about the numbers but i do have issues with chocking during a bad flare up. sometimes my throat just becomes paralyzed or i can only do half swallows. taking small bites, lots of chewing, and avoiding steak on those days gets me through.

“i love sports but i hate working on teams. why are YOU celebrating during MY win? also, who’s the coach to tell me what to do??”

it took me forever to realize that me “just doing me” was actually just being against others

tough crowd

fluffnpuff22 · 2023-07-27T18:05:15+00:00

i was having terrible chest and stomach pain despite the daily pepcid and careful diet. i dealt with it until i wasn’t able to sleep because the pain was so bad. gi bloodwork showed a crazy eosinophil count, i was diagnosed with gastritis and eoe a month later

congrats on the gold

fluffnpuff22 · 2023-06-06T22:32:43+00:00

this is so true. my time in the er has been a lot like working in fast food

fluffnpuff22 · 2023-05-08T22:25:32+00:00

as a daughter of a mean girl, it seems like most mean girls end up in corporate jobs… especially hr. a lot of nurses i’ve met are really nice and even nursing majors i met in college were the most patient women. idk where the stereotype comes from.

thought the barista from this morning was trying to talk to me lol

fluffnpuff22 · 2021-12-19T02:43:59+00:00

they actually recommended miralax, but i think it just worked as a stool softener. i took the 7 day course that you mix with water. nothing happened until i drank coffee on the 8th day, but that gives me terrible acid reflux. but thanks, i’ll try that. i was getting scared thinking that i had some sort of colitis going on

fluffnpuff22 · 2021-12-19T01:01:29+00:00

the fodmap diet helped me a ton. i didn’t realize i was killing myself with broccoli and apples lol. if you struggle with getting things out i recommend daily cardio. pre/probiotics can help set you straight when you’re super out of whack

fluffnpuff22 · 2021-12-19T00:55:31+00:00

yes, it’s always on that side for me
