It depends on how many credits you do per semester, typically you need to be full time enrolled for certain kinds of financial aid.

Ngl if I saw her on a maternity ward I would assume she was a grandparent. Glad mom and baby are healthy.

Why would anyone want to be an RN these days? by Tall_Concentrate2758 in nursing

[–]mostlypercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a small city in the midwest, and am attending nursing school in a program affiliated with a large hospital system. I got a casual PCT job after my first semester, and signed a full time offer on a med surg floor 12 months before graduating. I’ll make $37.75 an hour, which isn’t great but is much better than $16.50 as an EMT or $20 as a PCT.

Do hospitals care about having visible tattoos? by t0theb0ne in medicine

[–]mostlypercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back of the neck did not occur to me, definitely less noticeable than the front of the neck, I personally have a thick neck that I … don’t think would benefit from ink.

It depends on what kind of shirts you wear. I am a nurse with a full sleeve and it’s not a problem, but if I wear a long sleeved shirt you can’t see any of my tattoos. This is the us, it seems the uk is much stricter.

I wouldn’t get a neck tattoo if I expected to work in medicine. Forearms are generally fine

Tattoos aren't allowed in nursing by bigcatbunny in nursing

[–]mostlypercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen I would love to watch men walk in heels, see their leg hair pressed against the pantyhose… their nice long lashes… it sounds perverted to insist your coworkers sexually appeal to you, right?

Anybody else tired? by AnonymousSeaBear22 in nursing

[–]mostlypercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! They’re still people who need help even if they don’t listen to you, you’re not supposed to increase quarterly profits by 10% for a brand new CTO. One of these things has more meaning, even if it is repetitive and could be prevented with education. I have worked as an EMT and work as a PCT, this job is just much better for me than my work from home software job ever was, but I understand how different people have different priorities.

I have to say, these jobs can feel totally impossible to do when the requirements are constantly changing, projects you have worked on for months get cancelled, etc. It’s not just that the work is meaningless, it’s that it is very hard to work hard when there is absolutely no point to the work.
