    That’s okay, they’re watching surgery tutorials on Youtube, just gotta wait through a few minutes of ads, how quickly can you really bleed out?

    Working on pre-nursing courses now, and even cheating aside, the online shit is a bad joke. Like instead of lecture you just get assigned chapters.

    “Online lab” and “online clinicals” are both a thing, and they’re both as stupid as they sound. And every hospital is hurting for nurses so badly that school programs are under a lot of pressure to just accept everyone who applies.

    I don’t see good things for the future of the healthcare industry. Hopefully all the bullshit will at least translate to a decent pay check, but I know better than to put any faith in that either.

        Fuck yeah! One of the cool things about a universal staffing shortage in a specific field is even if I get fired, there will always be demand somewhere else. 100% support for the strikes going on lately, and will absolutely hold the line when it’s my turn.

    Maybe your nurse practitioner “doctor” with a joke for exams and fully online curriculum, but an MD or DO in the US absolutely cannot cheat their 4 full days of board exams (steps 1-3) to get licensed. Physician board exams are video recorded, show IDs and get fingerprinted and patted down even going in and out for bathroom breaks.

    You still need to eat healthy, fatty.

      Have you tried cutting out the rice cakes and just putting Frank’s Red Hot directly into your mouth?

          Rice cake flavors are kinda mid but they do have a cheese popcorn flavor and some brands make little ones that are like slightly spicy sweet and sour. My personal favorite is cinnamon sugar, it’s hard not to finish the pack.

      Quaker make flavored ones that, at the end of the day, are a pretty happy medium between flavor and cardboard. They’re probably not as healthy as their unflavored alternatives, but they’re significantly less bad than a chip or cookie or any other thing. There’s sea salt, tomato basil, apple cinnamon, even chocolate. Definitely helps when the sadness inside is craving numbing via junk food.

    I’m lazy, so whenever I need to start eating healthy, I get bags of carrot sticks and munch on those during the day, but that gets boring after a while.

    Anyone here has any tips to make them taste better but still keep them healthy? (No ranch dressing, etc.)

      I was in the same boat. Started marinating them in balsamic vinegar with a bit of salt and pepper and I can’t stop eating them! You can add rosemary, hot pepper flakes, etc to change the flavor as you wish.

      Roasted carrots are great. You can throw some fingerling potatoes in there too and it will keep you fuller longer.

    Before children i was matriculating to medical school. I caught many of the top students cheating. Under capitalism they say if you’re not cheating you’re not trying.

      Capitalism is the system of winners! And winners make the money and write the rules! And you can’t cheat if you write the rules!

      I’ve had doctors literally Google right In front of me and then base their treatment plan directly off what they find on their screen.

      Like, why am I paying you $80 bucks for this?

      Its dangerous because not only is it lazy but it sets a bad example for a patient who gets the impression that it’s perfectly ok to do this themselves too rather than see a doctor.

        You know that meme that goes, “Don’t equate your Google search with my medical degree?” An even better one would be, “Don’t equate your Google search with my Google search.”

        By virtue of their years of training and practice, doctors are much more equipped to handle not only knowing what to search for but also how to recognize reputable sources and evidence-based recommendations. With the amount of shit that doctors have to learn, there’s no way for them to keep all of it in their heads. You have to use Google searches to jog your memory as well as keep up with new treatment guidelines.
