Nursing, man. "Nurse residency", "nursing care plans", "nursing diagnosis"

Backcountry Intervention Needed

All these goofy terms and concepts have made their way into nursing curriculum and culture to try to make nurses better about themselves and their profession. It always annoyed me.

Probably almost every woman in my ward has had an augmentation without much else done. I think most people are

My biggest issue is the cost. Hard to justify that. But whatever.

Backcountry

Seems like its worth it, especially when they usually do 2 for the price 1

Well worth the cost as one who paid for them and gets to see them daily.

Potential complications scare me too. Unnecessary risk.

I loved Plastics, great field.

SJS

I think I'd love the surgery part of it, this is just in office cosmetics stuff

Blue Golfer

7/9/20 8:47pm

If you’re a PA student, you won’t be “doing surgery”. Maybe assisting though.

SJS

7/9/20 8:49pm

Lol. Yes, I know. When I say do surgery, I mean to say that's the field I'd like

Blue Golfer

Hey man that’s elitist

CardiacCoug

7/9/20 8:54pm

It’s like when nurses do “residencies”, by which they mean extended orientation

SJS

7/9/20 8:55pm

Haha I remember the first time a nurse told me she was doing a residency. I was like

If they came back to me and said I had to do residency again, I would quit.

SJS

Literally have nightmares about this

Sad thing is I look back on residency and fellowship and think how easy it was

If you could avoid litigation/high premiums, would you still feel this way?

D.T. Survivor

It’s not so much litigation as license/privilege restriction that’s terrifying.

We have this PA that works for us now that was a surgery PA for many years. Now he’s been doing internal medicine stuff

I love a great PA.. I’m such a fan of PAs over NPs and some of them

cougfanz

We have 3 PAs with our group. They’re great.

SJS

PAs do parts of surgeries unassisted at Walter Reed without incident.

If I was a PA I would totally do the military or something similar

cougfanz

7/10/20 12:08am

Did they do 5+ years residency, possibly a fellowship, pass written and oral boards, maintain privileges/certifications?

SJS

7/10/20 7:06am

Wish there was a pathway for PA advancement

giveme1luke2go

7/10/20 9:53am

They have a pathway for that: med school and then residency

This is the exact attitude that is the problem

Where PAs can advance is on the entrepreneurial side of things. Locally

cougfanz

7/10/20 2:12pm

Sorry, no such thing as on the job training. Want to be a doc? Go to medical school.

Have I once mentioned on the job training?
