Nursing school was basically,"here's how to not kill anyone while you spend a year working to become a nurse." They give you the license when you prove you're unlikely to kill someone, but you don't really have any idea what you're doing until at least a year in and even after that 90% of nursing knowledge is still gained out on the floor.

Most university level nursing education is either specific role related (teaching or management) or useless fluff, especially standalone bachelor's programs (you already have and have been working under an associate's). Even NP school is mostly fluff too though unfortunately. The assumption is that the candidate is a senior nurse with several decades of experience, but in practice that's not always true (I maintain that new grads going to NP school should be banned; it's dangerous).

...there were a couple things I learned in nursing school that I benefited from forgetting. Mostly the racism and sexism.

I was waiting for someone else to comment because I was hoping they would know and I just wanted to say that you really let me down, man.

My suspicion is that it's supposed to be a prion which is a misfolded protein that causes other proteins to also misfold which eventually just makes a giant mess of your brain and kills you, similar to how a badly executed pivot table might crash your computer. The obvious difference is that we can't reboot your brain. The closest we've gotten is probably ECT, but even that's just mostly an in-joke between me and my coworkers about it just dumping all your neurotransmitters out so they can be marie-kondo-ed back into the right places.

This is me every single gotdamn night I work. Everything will be fine then BAM the patient who constantly pees everwhere is logrolling down the hall coating the entire communal area in urine because no one would give them a hug while they're covered in pee. The worst part is I'm not even describing any particular patient. If I had a dollar every time a hall is convered in some kind of bodily fluid or other excretion I'd be making 3-5 cents more hourly which is coincidentally the exact size of my last raise.

☝️my mother in a nutshell. She said my grandmother warned her about what we now know as "The Second Shift" (working outside of the home then coming home and ALSO planning/doing most household maintainence tasks) when my mother was younger and was part of the first generation of women to work outside the home. But her understanding after years of this was somehow "mom was right" instead of "make him do his own laundry and if he refuses get a divorce." At this point I'm just like women and the general cultural concept of femininity have shot ahead by miles in the last century. Men are welcome to do the same whenever they're ready, but for now a lot of men are just coping by crab bucketing this shit and bringing women back down.

did you really need to come say "not all men" to a comment that didn't even say "most?" Are you THAT insecure about the possibility that other men are unpleasant to women sometimes that you need to come and do this and keep replying and even draw pictures about it? We can ignore the fact that you are currently being the man being unpleasant to women for the moment if it makes your continued trolling easier.

I don't actually argue with trolls, I just waste their time so they have less to bother other people with.

nope not reading any of this at all I literally just wanna see if you reply back again it's really funny to watch someone who never had any intention of thinking about anything I could possibly say do whole homework assignments for me to throw out.

Oh God, right? Only the internet could make "hey now that we've had women's lib I'm super excited for men's lib too" into an argument.

100% to all of this. I'm also finding as far as the mental health area specifically, we need more male therapists and inpatient workers to model healthy behaviors for some of the younger men (and the older ones, they're just less likely to listen). I've found the most success in empowering the men I know who do have it together because they know better what needs to be said and often if there is misogyny at play the patient is less likely to listen to me saying the exact same thing anyway. So in addition to being a complex issue, it's also one that takes men themselves to solve.

I also LOVE that you said "Tate et al," not because I think he says anything worthy of wiping my ass on, but just because I love the air of scholarship it added to a topic I often innately associate with some of the seedier parts of the internet, but that really does deserve more of a place in both mainstream and academic discussion.
