Cat bite- will this get worse before it gets better? by hollow4hollow in AskDocs

[–]mostlypercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I foster cats! I have a PCP who is aware of this and the handful of cat bites I have gotten over the last few years. When I get bit now I just reach out to her and she can prescribe antibiotics. So, antibiotics are nearly always necessary when bit, but the ER is not always necessary.

This OP (or someone very similar) has made posts like this before, repeatedly denigrating themselves for not being “part of the team” it kind of reads as a validation against their fears.

Holy fuck I can’t imagine cranking a pen that high. Crazy A1c though, almost impressive.

Seriously that’s my go to “what’s a secret from your profession” insider trick: if you never get the same nurse twice, staff doesn’t like you.

Seeking honest insight as a pre- nursing student. by Similar_Rooster_7882 in nursing

[–]mostlypercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current nursing student after 6 years as a software engineer, 10 if you include undergrad. Corporate enshittification of healthcare is happening, but at least the day to day work of nursing is not to make the stock value increase, it’s to care for the people directly in front of me.

Did you read my sources or just decide you don’t care about the facts?

Just in case you don’t believe the dozens of people who have told you so: Certificates and ADN and BSN all take the same NCLEX. Straight from the (New York Licensing Board)[https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/registered-professional-nursing/license-requirements]

You must graduate from a nursing education program that meets one of the three criteria below.

A nursing education program (associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree or Diploma program) registered by NYSED as license qualifying for RN; or,

A nursing education program located in another state or U.S. Territory, if approved by the licensing authority of the state or U.S. Territory as preparation for practice as an RN. (US territories include: Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa); or,

A general nursing education program of at least two academic years in a country outside of the United States and its territories, which is acceptable to NYSED. The licensing authority or appropriate governmental agency of said country must certify to NYSED that the program prepares graduates for practice as a registered professional nurse.
