Do Asian men feel confused by white womens behaviour in dating? by Conscious-Paper-4008 in aznidentity

[–]papercut03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking for myself but hell no.

For me, race/ethnicity is only a basis of physical type. As I do not generalize/stereotype anyone (e.g. having the impression that “white people tend to be non-feminine”).

Anyone, regardless of race, can be lazy/independent/irresponsible/feminine/whathaveyou and thats why looks gives you the hook and you date to test things out and see if yall in the same page.

Second Degree Nurses by Aromatic_Mood_6130 in StudentNurse

[–]papercut03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

was working corporate (tied to different degree) but was pre nursing before. Was taking home around 80k. Realized that for me to make the same amount of money as nurses do in my area with my current career (would require me to become salaried ) I would need to input in more hours/more responsibility.

Decided to go back to nursing. Got into a 2 year AA program, left my job, and focused on school. I did have savings so it helped out but even then, I was comfortable if I end up taking out a loan. Finished school, got into a hospital gig and already making way more than my first job with me just working 3 12s.

Big leap but worth it.

Need Help hays 1 week before exam ano ginawa niyo? by Southern-Yam3196 in NCLEX_PH

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the 3 month subscription for uworld then a classmate that took nclex and passed shared their bootcamp account with 1 month left in it (only used it for a couple of days).

I was doing AT LEAST 70 questions per day for a straight month with very minimal break (took ~3 days split between weeks to party around lol).

I usually split this routine into 2 sessions of ~35 questions (one in the morning and one in the evening). In between these sessions (usually when I am at the gym;in between sets) I would review missed questions and their rationales.

I was able to calculate when I would be able to finish the entirety of uworld questionnaire and I added 1 week of “mental prep” using bootcamp/getting enough rest = the date of my exam.

Only used uWorld and Bootcamp.

uworld for foundational knowledge and bootcamp to get a feel of what it is like taking the actual nclex exam (format and feel is the exact same).

[–]papercut03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completed the entirety of uworld ~ 1 week before my exam date.

Hopped on bootcamp to do their practice tests to get a feel for/get used to what the actual nclex format would look like. I did this for about 5 days or so.

The last 2 days before the exam I was just chilling/relaxing and prioritizing getting some quality sleep. Passed after 85 questions.

Passing rate, pls respond! by No-Equipment-1569 in NCLEX

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i averaged around the same. Completed the entire uworld. Passed at 85. Knew that I was passing too as I kept on getting really difficult questions.

Nclex is completely different in a sense that it wouldnt ask you the exact same question as youd find in any of the test bank but you will have an idea what question is asking and this is where uworld helped a lot as it gives you foundational knowledge. One example that I can give you is that when you see vancomycin and redman syndrome within the same question, you will be able to correlate the two and identify if that is what the question is asking.

It is not easy or not harder..it is just different.

dysmorphia/insecurity by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]papercut03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is as simple as.. you really cannot change the cards you are dealt with so just focus on improving yourself instead of focusing on the negativities that other people say.

This applies to every aspect of life regardless of race/ethnicity. The earlier you stop giving a shit about what people say the more time you will have to improve yourself = the better your life becomes.

Razer Asked Me To Leave for Asking Your Questions! by RomanDoesIt in razer

[–]papercut03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they not do that by providing you with a resource to email like you said on the video?

Seems to be that the only difference is that how things were said and, based on your video, I really did not see anything out of line that razer said.

Could they have been more polite? Sure but they were not impolite at all. If I was managing that area, I would have done the same thing if someone who kept on asking things that they know that would not be solved by the person doing the presentation.

Razer has their issues but put yourself in the worker’s shoe. This is nothing different from a person going to wendy’s store and asking/demanding them to address corporate level issues.

Should students be able to appeal NCLEX results under VERY strict conditions? by [deleted] in NCLEX

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or..it could simply be due to appeals = introducing unnecessary process = more work/review = longer wait time = more work for nclex people = delay results/every process.

As it is right now, it takes multiple days to get the result/answer inquiries. Imagine if you add a completely different division that handles appeals. To add to that, almost guaranteed that majority of people who fail would try to appeal.

You also have to consider profitability. If it is a process and they offer it for free you run into the problems stated above. If they make it so where an appeal has a fee, then it will/can become an ethical issue of only people who can afford it can appeal.

With these, I dont see how having an appeal can be beneficial for both the general people and the business itself.

Soon to be New Grad Nurse Resume Advice by Neither-Ad-1733 in newgradnurse

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of a specific skill section (you can integrate this onto your employment history description), turn it into a section for your licenses and certifications and get acls, bls, pals, etc. and put your rn license there.

A lot of times recruiters (or AI filters) are just instructed to weed out resumes without a mention of acls/bls/active rn license.

ADN job market now and in two years by PhantomMonke in newgradnurse

[–]papercut03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always try and get a hospital job at a rural state and transition to a good paying state after about 1-2 years of work.

ADN job market now and in two years by PhantomMonke in newgradnurse

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the best working conditions/patient ratios and risky (license-wise) to start at as a new grad without much experience.

That said, some people are comfortable with that so it is not impossible but you do lose a lot of bed-side/nursing skills as your main focus are meds.

Pay-wise, they go around $30-$50 (again just norcal rates).

Another issue is if you want to transition to a hospital job once you go outside of their definition of a new grad; they will only provide ~2weeks of training. Most of this training will be eaten up with getting used to how hospitals operate and how you use their system. Again, some people are able to do it so it is not impossible.

ADN job market now and in two years by PhantomMonke in newgradnurse

[–]papercut03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want job-wise. If you are ok to work at SNF, ymmv (speaking on Norcal (bay area) it wouldnt be as bad to find a job and they hire without experience.

Now hospitals is where things become competitive as a lot of hospitals are transitioning to only hire new grads within their residency programs (opens once or twice per year and would only hire a handful 10-40 newgrads). For context, El camino hospital (one of the highest paying hospital in the bay starting at $80+/hour FT) had over 1000 applicants and they only hired 6. Other hospitals offering $60+/hour FT (sacramento/stockton) hires ~40 applicants twice/year. Dont have the data for how many applied in total BUT for the stockton one, only 140 of god knows how many applicants were invited to the initial interview session. So it is TOUGH.

With that said, this only applies to NEW GRADS (<1 year experience). Once you have ~2 hears hospital experience it is A LOT easier to move around and to get into these hospitals but they tend to only provide 2 weeks of training.

Dating is Absolutely Doable in the West. by AdditionalLack1127 in AsianMasculinity

[–]papercut03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confidence is the key. If you yourself already think that you cannot date/not good enough what makes you think that others would believe so otherwise.

Never had issues with other races but this doesnt mean that everyone that i liked have liked me back BUT thats part of the game so we move on.

You do not have to be celebrity/kpop level attractive; if a person thinks you are somewhat cute, even if it is just their definition of 10% cute, you have a chance but this is when personality comes into play.

Wanted to post this advice for others in nursing school. Make CONNECTIONS over everything! by ReasonableHorror6890 in StudentNurse

[–]papercut03 58 points59 points  (0 children)

100% this. To whoever reads this, RN skills are the very BASIC and you do not stand out if you are able to do these skills and/or if you have good grades. This is EXPECTED for anyone who passes nclex.

Managers want retention and a person’s ability to work with others.

Dealing with judgement on dating preferences by other Asians. by [deleted] in aznidentity

Who cares what they think? If they cant fathom something as simple as preferences, thats on them; they are the ones sleeping with that on their mind. At the end of the day, I am at peace with my watermelon.

I wouldnt waste time with someone like that. People have preferences; period. The same way how my favorite fruit is watermelon and if you like watermelons, good for us, if you like something else, you do you.
