good luck, much respect for enduring that. i briefly considered med school but decided that family, friends, and free time were cool concepts and only masochists or the insane would decide that becoming an MD was a good idea.

i'll prob work at the bedside for a few years and become an NP when i get tired of doo doo though



it might be a better idea to go to PA school after the BSN because a few PA to DO bridge programs are out now and even more are in the works afaik. it won't be long until a PA to MD bridge gets built somewhere i'm sure. there really is no progress past the NP level wrt independent practice.

idk, my only experience with NPs are with the ones that sit in the emergency department doing MSEs all day long, so my opinion might be a little skewed; but, the way I see it, might as well keep the option for advancement open.


also, you would probably get accepted to PA school instantly with all the clinical experience you have.

i was talking to this guy the other day that said something about nurse anesthetists making BANK, im talking MONEY my man $$

its also in demand, because why pay for 1 anesthesiologist when you can have 5 nurse anesthetists.

he told me $200k/year but i really think thats an exaggeration

Are all those guys salaried because it seems to me like it'd be pretty easy to make a shit load of money as a nurse if you arent

i know for sure that emergency department PAs and NPs who perform medical screening examinations are salaried. no idea about other stuff, but im sure it varies immensely.

RNs are all going to be hourly afaik.

i kept having panic attacks this week which meant i had to reschedule everything. that sort of sucks because i was doing really well until now. i think what caused it though was that i was trying to sort of sit down and do all my work at once instead of being more realistic and parceling it out carefully ahead of time. so i'm going to try to see how that goes. i got A+ on my first paper though which is cool.

the paper i have to write is about how capitalism affects a specific development project, and it will actually be pretty easy to write because you have to reference david harvey on spatial fixes and such which is all intuitive to me. the problem is just the actual sitting down and grinding through it, like carefully making notes and then building them into an academic paper instead of just blowing hard. and the fact is that if i just ramble i'll get a pretty good mark but then I Won't Fucking Learn lol.

You can train yourself to fall asleep quickly on command using a similar technique. Seems like its partly about flooding your working memory which can really only juggle 7-10 items at most. You should consider to try harder math and a more difficult recitation than happy birthday. Plastic surgery sounds fun tho

You should try being inspired by the revolutionary science of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong thought. This will cure your bourgeois afflictions.

Some people might say that, it's important that people with brain problems don't feel alone and can talk to other people who are going what they're going through. As for myself, I feel that the noob must be crushed... This is the purpose of the noob.

nah NPs have a shitload of opportunities for advancement, it just depends on the certs you get. acute/critical care NPs can get jobs at any hospital unit and practice @ p much the same level as the MDs do. even FNPs are moving up in terms of amount of responsibilities since there's such a shortage of primary providers now-- not uncommon to have practices with 2 MDs and 4-5 NPs and a few PAs to be the cabin boys. most hospitals in this area pay NP hospitalists 175k starting. PAs get paid less and have a lot less to do, thye basically run around doing assessments all day and are doctors' slaves, looks boring as Heck

MSN-level NPs are going to be superseded by doctorate-level degrees (DNPs) in the next ten years, the ANA is already pushing for it but the state boards of nursing are slow to catch up. once the big schools get their programs set up there's not going to be much of a difference between having a DNP and a DO anymore, except for specialists
