nothing smells worse than a dead body after a couple of hours

The M in STEM really stands for medical work. Math shouldn't be there if you want a career outside a college or teaching at a high school

Name a single nursing specialty that doesn't involve poop or some other horrible smell.

Go ahead, I'm waiting.

Psychiatric nursing

Convince yourself whatever you need to convince yourself as you work a soul sucking corporation job faggot

IT'S THAT EASY.

I install MRIs, CTs, Cath Labs, etc nurses are some of the most miserable people I have ever met and I've worked at hospitals all around the country. Working on the installation side is the real red pill.

The medical field is pretty soul sucking tbqh pham. There's a reason they only make nurses work 2-3 days a week and still give them 6 figure salaries.

I think working as far away as possible from patients is the red pill.

>Why haven't you swallowed the RN pill yet, user?
Because I hate people. That might create a conflict of interest when trying to help dying people.

Saving lives is more fulfilling than helping your boss buy a speed boat, you know

If I could do it over again I would, but now I'm an academia autist. You hardly do shit but you don't make shit either, and you give in constant fear of being dropped the moment your department gets defunded
too fukin edgy m8

OP is a faggot normie.

I worked in health care and it's full of cunty women, and the industry is super fucked up.

> US health care.
>corporate as fuck
>full of cunty women
>cunt women HR
>women administrators.
>Healthcare is so contrived and full of bullshit
>hospitals fire 30 years employees at the snap of a finger
>hospitals are all about that money
>kiss spic and nigger ass that come in with no money.
>be someones bitch all day and kiss ass while doing it.

I would only recommend healthcare to people who are normie tier.

Have you even worked in medicine? The vast majority of it isn't about saving lives. Even if you're working in an ER.

And what's so great about keeping alive a bunch of aging boomers that did fuck all to take care of their bodies and aren't contributing to society anymore?

Yeah I agree, never have to see those fuckers thank god

What if a life you save turns out to be Trump/Hitler/ whoever you hate and is a plague on civilization?

I can almost guarantee OP is a nursing student that thinks he is smart as fuck.

Because healthcare is super corporate and stressful for a bunch of reasons.

>Shit load of different types of nursing specialties - ranging from bad to the bone hardcore shit to management, to working with babies and children, to seemingly anything that suits your personality

That's not the point you were making the post I replied to...

Scientist making 6 figures after being in the field for 3 years with a Bachelor's degree. Sure if you work in NYC as a nurse you can make close to that, or if you get your masters (now doctorate I think) to get nurse anesthetist you can make that much, but usually you won't. Richmond nurses I knew made 25/hr to start.

Science >>>> Nursing.

No thanks.

You're posting this too often. Getting stale.

You can still get in with a Bachelor's if you have experience in the field.

Yes, if you're starting out you need a Masters at the minimum. But not with five years experience.

Missed the boat, m8.

Fuck nursing. I appreciate the people that can clean up shit all day, but imo careers in the corporate side of the hospital are 1000x easier and you still get that male preference because it's 99% women.

>Name a speciality where you don't clean poop
>Psychiatric nursing

No. Because they throw the poop at you.

You are not a scientist if you just have a Bachelor's degree, Bill Nye.

I'm thinking of going for veterinarian anyone got any real info on what that's like?

Psychiatric nursing you listen to people's made up problems all day and maybe dispense medication. Jesus it sucks.

Better tell my company then, m8. Or just do a simple search of LinkedIn. Few of my coworkers have Masters/above.

six-figure debt for a 60k job after graduation. If you hang your own shingle, the ceiling is limited. However, that is business

>Better tell my company then, m8. Or just do a simple search of LinkedIn. Few of my coworkers have Masters/above.
Then you aren't a "scientist."

The nurses that make 6 figures are the ones working 60 hour weeks. Not the ones who work 2-3 days a week.

Somehow I feel that working with cat mom's would be annoying too.

It's called job security and making good money.

That depends where you're working.

Literally my title. I'm not revealing my actual place of work, so get fucked. We have some 30k employees worldwide

>>Get scooted to the front of the line in job applications when applying simply from being a man to balance the equilibrium
Stopped reading there. Nobody wants a male nurse.

The fuck are you smoking man? Dealing with sick people is one of the single most miserable fucking things you can do and they have to do it on a regular basis. You're pretty much required to work intense overtime because, unlike most jobs, if a nurse calls in sick someone MUST cover for them because people could die. You're treated like shit by almost everyone, you get very little respect, and it can be very physically intensive because you have to manhandle people all day. Not to mention that nurses are the single most likely workplace candidate to get infected with a bloodborne illness (let alone a host of other kinds of infections and diseases).

Nah man I'll work maintenance at a commercial production facility any day of the week thanks.

>My title
Doesn't mean shit. Unless you are conducting extensive research, you are not a scientist. Being a lab rat doesn't count

Yeah as a nurse you can work 1-3 day weeks especially midnights and take lots of vacations. This is better for the kids because then you're almost always home with them.

>The nurses that make 6 figures are the ones working 60 hour weeks.
Not true. If you work in a rural area, the salary can easily pass six figures

Not to mention how many nurses end up with debilitating back injuries because they try to catch some 400lb whale that fell.

>Unless you are conducting extensive research

Again, literally my job. You are pulling at straws.

>Again, literally my job.
kek, nice larp

>Have you even worked in medicine? The vast majority of it isn't about saving lives. Even if you're working in an ER.

People call 911 for a fucking tummy ache. The more industrious turds will drive themselves to the ER for the same problem. Americans have no fucking idea what the term emergency means. Working in emergency medicine made me fucking hate the public with an unbridled passion.

Fuck every last one of you.

Lol get fucked.

>won't provide proof
My point exactly.

Nurses usually make around $30 an hour.

Cat mom's will throw hundreds towards treating fluffy when everyone else thinks they don't need to pay the Hosford if they're poor enough.

If you work in bumfuck nowhere, the salary is greater for medical professionals

I don't want some autistic brigade finding out my actual identity and then calling my employer telling them I post on Sup Forums

As if I had to explain that.

>I don't want some autistic brigade finding out my actual identity and then calling my employer telling them I post on Sup Forums
Then don't expect anybody to believe what you say

Nursing is a noble profession. But nurses don't even come close to making engineer money where I live (Sunnyvale, CA).

In the PNW CNAs can make close to that much.

Because of overtime time and a half pay or because of the salary itself?

>Psychiatric nursing

Some of those nut jobs tend to neglect their personal hygiene user

t. Psych patient

CNAs make $12 an hour where I am.

Nothing I've said is at all unbelievable and easily verifiable. Go on Linkedin and look at any of the major pharmaceutical companies. You'll find quite a few in Scientist positions with only a Bachelor's degree.

Granted they won't be principal scientists. I've seen an associate principle make it that high with a Bachelor's, but it's rare.

You really should be taking everything anyone says on a anonymous forum with a massive chunk of salt even if they post some random badge.

2nd year resident here (surgical field - US D.O.)

Feel free to ask questions about day in the life or admissions

if you can make it, good on you

most nurses (RNs) make 40-60k. its decent money, but nothing worth bragging about. meanwhile your lowest paid docs start at 3-4x that amount. you have to become a NP to actually make decent money and even then you don't get the respect of a physician

we need nurses, but if you are young, you might as well push yourself harder.

Do you regret that you will never be seen as an equal to an MD?

I took both the USMLE and COMLEX and scored very well on both. It's never been an issue and I don't foresee it ever being one. I received MD training + OMT

You claim to be making six figures as a "scientist" three years post grad. Yet, the bls shows that scientists make less than 100k a year except for physicists, which requires a graduate degree. Keep larping

the patients i take care of are scared of eating. there is no poop for them to throw at you.

Do you think it was worth selling your youth and taking crippling debt?

No one really cares and most DOs don't even do OMT once they leave school.

30yr /fit male applying for pa school. Went to a few info sessions where they showed the applicant statistics- gpa patient hours how many applied and accepted etc. I knew there’s competition but man compared to these kids fresh out of it still in college with 1000’s of hours and 3.8gpa who were around me I got a little worried. I could tell many were just social retards and I’m here trying to get a career I actually like. Is there hope like the murse hiring. The second play is to apply for the 1yr accelerated RN/BSN since I already have the bachelors and courses done

Ahh you work at one of the nice psych hospitals where rich families send their anorexic daughters, eh?

I work in the Bay Area. My wife and I are both RNs. We made 225k last year and will make ~300k this year. I work in the ED, she's in telemetry. Both work 3-4 days a week. It's pretty great, but I'm usually pretty stressed out and have started self medicating. Oh well. No kids so lots of saving. This can be a great step in the right direction, but I can't see myself doing this for 10+ years. Healthcare is broken in this country.

Military. What's debt?

First question and how much EC/volunteering did you do?

you get used to the smells, and 12 hr shifts mean long weekends every week.

>Doesn't understand the concept of an average

You voted for Jill Stein, didn't you?

>>Not staring in front of a computer all day like in the office jobs

I am an RN

And you most definitely spend a fuck ton of time looking at a computer screen charting.

Where the hell are you doing your nursing at lol?

People are gross and hospitals make me uncomfortable

100+ hours is a good place to start for more endeavors. Clinical encounters are ideal as they show readiness to enter the profession.

Research is also great and shadowing.

>>cleaning poop
>>cleaning poop off of people
>>the smells, the horrible smells

What is a CNA?

Burnout rates in health care are getting out of control. What's more insane is that people think they can stop it by taking MORE time out of people's day and lecturing them about "wellness".

No one wants to get to the root of the issue. There are too may damn patients with loads a of paperwork attached to them and not enough hands on deck to deal with it all.

>>cleaning poop off of people
>>the smells, the horrible smells

Yup, so much this.
I'm a nursing aide going to school to become a full RN. As you keep doing it day in and day out you kinda get used to it, but you still need to shower once you get home form your shift.

Wait until you become an employee/partner. You will just be given MD by mistake in text and publications and such and you won't say shit to correct them because you know deep down MD is the be all end all title and wish you had it.

We love and respect nurses. The good ones at least (most)
