You do not lift pts, that should be against manual handling regulations that will get you and your back in trouble down the line.

>wiping obese fatass asses

because nursing is a relatively easy medical career to get into that pays decent money.

I do user, I am a firefighter/paramedic always lifting fat tublards everyday, and saving lives. Also making 90k/year

How many of your colleagues have gone to snap city, courtesy of fatass patients?

fuck being a nurse tho, some shit would be fun, feeding people. but when it comes down to cleaning up quadriplegics shitty asshole fuck that. full respect to anyone that does that day in and day out.

Iv had jobs where just because im a male i can get out of the shitty little meticulous job just to lift light ass objects because 90% of the workforce are women

nursing school is hard to get into and pays a lot of money. i dont get how all these hot girls get into it and succeed at it. i thought they were supposed to be dumb

Is it more stressful than working in the other wards, or easy cause the pts would be unconscious and thus implied consent would be given for every action you do to them like suctioning secretions?

Is this even a thing that happens outside of stereotypes and medical dramas? The nurses I know talk shit about the doctors they work with constantly, and not in a friction-building-to-a-hatefuck way, while the (fewer) doctors I know view nurses as either non-entities or incompetent.

Why are nurses wearing stethoscopes ? Is this a US thing? Or are the thoties in the pic junior doctors?
t.UK doc.

Not the ICU nurse, but like I said here you should never ever lift pts. Shouldn't you be using a full sling lifter in an ICU, and always have a proper stance/lunge when rolling/sitting up the pt in bed?

There are usually sanitary workers who do the nasty stuff - usually med students that can't work as nurses yet. If the hospital is short on sanitaty then yes, nurses do that. Depends on how close the hospital is to a med school basically

It's mostly a stereotype.

High stress, long/odd hour jobs tend to get more than their share of employees fucking but it tends to be more like with like than doctor/nurse or boss/employee.

Antarctica

I have only seen one doctor (pretty much Asian Chad) who slept with all the young nurses other than that its as you said and all the consultants are married to non nurses.

I think you're misinterpreting "lifting"

yea but women the world in every social setting like to talk shit about chad but wishing he would choose them, while they forget virgin even exists when not immediately interacting with him.
(yea obviously many doctors are not chads and everyone has annoying people above them in authority, or people just vent about those they regularly interact with)

Why would they use a stethoscope (device mainly used to listen to the heart or lungs) for blood pressure seems weird, I think it's just thots being thots
To be fair nurses deal with a lot of shit from both patients and autistic consultants/Doctors (quite a few) in addition to their hours never ever ever improving since even as head nurses they need to do night shifts etc...

where did i say that

It is extremely easy to get into and complete... It doesn't even require a 4 year degree, just a two year diploma... It's probably one of the easiest fields to complete in terms of education. However, finding a job might be a bit tricky because the field is over saturated with applicants.

>Working as an EMT in the USA lmfao... you get paid shit and you work insane hours, horrible career choice.

exactly all these hot girls can just go to community college to get an RN degree and six figures like that wtf

They, or at least the nursing students at my school, have to learn how to do it the old school way with a hand-pumped cuff and stethoscope.

Cause you don't work in a hospital. A manual BP machine is called a sphygmomanometer and you use it with a stethoscope on the brachial artery. You use it if you don't have the automatic one, or your pt's BP falls outside the normal range and therefore you want to get an accurate reading to make sure they're okay before needing to make a MET call.

in Australia nurses use stethoscopes sometimes, blood pressure and auscultation.

You can make 6 figures as any tradesman working normal hours and not having to deal with as many people and their literal shit, for some reason though stupid thotties don't like that career path and would go for nursing.

2/2 or when mobilising the pt i.e. to the toilet/to the chair

I thought you were a doctor?
Fuck, i hope i never go to a UK hospital

>why would you use a stethoscope to listen to a bp

Just to touch on this, there's a huge range of reasons why it's far better to rely on a manual BP reading than an automated one. It's standard nursing practice to manually take a BP if an automated machine reports an abnormal reading.

We're also taught to auscultate as you are, identifying abnormal heart/lung/abdominal sounds etc, except it's not really used outside of specialised ICU/surgical areas.

I'm an Ausfag, so maybe our standards are different here. But any 'good' nurse knows how to use a stethoscope and shouldn't be hesitant to use it. If I end up calling you about a patient I'm concerned about, I'm going to include ALL relevant assessments in my call. Not sure the easy spiel of vitals.

Make up.you.dingus

What do nurses have to document for Ausc findings? BS, added sounds, abnormal HS, plus anything else?

A qt 3.14 nurse has actually seen my dick before
I'm sure she laughed...

Because being EMT pays only $13/hr in Commiefornia and the amount of money it takes to become a Paramedic is ridiculous
>$5900 just for the classes
>$125 application fee for testing at national level
>$250 for the application for testing at state level

Not to mention the more obvious costs of health checks, uniforms, textbooks, etc...

Keep trying user, don't give up.

it's probably a pre-med student that did a day or two of shadowing literally every uni (at least from talking to colleagues) has been taught this since it comes up in some osce stations
interesting how it's so different down there, usually here they just pay attention to the basic readings and if anything is unusual they call in one of the fy1s or fy2s

Yet you post here. Fucking christ.

what do mathematicians do

different user but also ICU nurse(male) here.

female docs are the worst. female NPs/PAs though...
happens a lot. not so much snap city but lots of pulled muscles and thrown out backs. always women too, crazy right?
more stressful by a magnitude. you have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it; swear to god time passes either twice as fast or for times as slow but either way you never have enough time to chart and do patient care

answering other questions because fuck it

do you not listen to lung sounds, gastric activity and do manual BPs in the UK? legitimately curious and a little bit scared
ambulance work =/= EMT. paramedics make huge bank and flight EMTs/paramedics are the gigachads of healthcare
godspeed lad and good luck

Better than seeing the junk of 60+ y.o. pts

There is something off about the faces of both girls. Photoshop off, not unattractive.

Don't get me wrong user, ambivalence and apathy are worldwide. I've met more than my fair share of nurses who practice at the absolute minimum and do whatever they can to avoid more responsibility or decision making. It's easier to hand it off to the intern or resident than to stop and think for a moment. Especially when you're dealing with 3-4 other pts.

At the end of the day, I was taught how to identify a deteriorating patient. That's what I consider my number 1 responsibility. I don't have the same diagnostic capacity as a physician, but if I can't reconcile observations with assessments, labs, etc, I'm just a shit nurse. I may as well just become a CNA/AIN.

It's also rewarding to have more of a function in the care team. When I go the extra mile, I feel like I'm having an actual input in patient care. Not just being a being a monitor jockey.

>implying the nurses are miring some cuck male nurse when they're surrounded by millionaire doctors and young med students

How many pts/OOS do you do per day? Do you use written or typed documentation?

MATHS

Kys newfriend

pretty consistently assigned 2 patients/shift. very occasionally ill get 3 if one of mine is low acuity/holding for PCU or an open bed, or if one has out orders, but we try to avoid going above 2/nurse.
all of our official documentation is typed but we keep paper and pencil for report and notes.

North California?

I mean I workd to live, I don't live to work. I can't see myself spending a decade in school going through medschool sacrificing my life for it. For what? At least nursing its 3-4 years then you work 3-4 days a week and can enjoy your life

Is auscultation haram in the UK? I wasn't at Friday prayers, was there a fatwa?

American nurses listen to heart, lungs, gi, etc.

how does it feel getting shit on by residents and attendings?

Half the docs are pajeets and most are already married or autistic.

>4am

>hello doc the pts sodium is 134 i just wanted to let you know ok bye

Schools are both populated by >50% women across America and for some reason, base career decisions on average (again, AVERAGE) pay. This creates a double whammy where schools are both biased towards females anyway, and teach them to go for nursing degrees. This bleeds into popular culture and high school counselors' schpiel, thus resulting in women who already are naturally inclined to fields like nursing, to apply in droves.

As a big FYI, despite the stereotype, there are a shitload of nurses who are ugly as sin, and most of the ones that you thirsty morons find attractive are generally 6/10 dolled up trailer girls. Don't think like you need to settle on a girl, be fucking disciplined and patient.

nurses in the US have a much larger scope of practice than nurses abroad. need to listen for fluid in lungs, get secondary checks on heart rhythm if they don't trust the EEG, and are generally given more responsibility so the docs don't have to be constantly checking patients vitals and whatnot. my wife's a nurse in the US and I live in Germany at the moment so we looked up the differences when she was looking for a job. A nurse assistant in USA is much more equivalent to a EU nurse.

>Implying being a family doctor making 200k+ and working a one month on one month off schedule isn't better than being a cuck male nurse

lol it most def is easy to get in. my sis had like a 3.1 gpa and had to take some watered down act type test that she studied 1 week for and scored like 85%... and she's stupid af. Now med school on the other hand...

I'm dating a female med student and almost all her male friends are very well socially adjusted, popular chads

In my opinion being the doctor in that scenario is worse

What's the clinical reasoning for that?

If the BP is normal when it's time for the HTN meds, do you still give it to them if it's meant to maintain the BP?

Malicious compliance. It's done by petty nurses to get back at asshole docs by harassing them with meaningless shit, interrupting what little sleep they get. There's little that can be done about it, as we can say we're just covering our ass.

(I don't agree with this tactic, but some nurses are cunts, just like physicians).

How about the other 90% of her class that she chooses not to be friends with? Are they cool too?

Everyone knows you're not covering your ass for a BP of 120/80 though.

No seriously, I'm asking the clinical reasoning behind deciding what to do w/ a pt who is due for that BP medication but their BP is in normal range.

You still need to give it to them right?

Yes. Basically, don't rock the boat. The reason that their BP is good right now is because they are getting their meds. So continue to give their meds as usual.

kek god dammit user

me in this post

Thought so, thanks.

The reason their BP isn't through the roof IS because of the antihypertensives. You're not just going to abandon treatment suddenly because is A-OK at X'oclock. The only reason you'd withhold is if the blood pressure was abnormally low. Sometimes the physician specify what the threshold for holding is, other times it's up to you to make the judgement.

I realise. I'm just giving bizarre examples I've heard nurses use to piss off physicians.
