What's a good routine for a male nurse, paramedic, or firefighter?

Strengthen you’re core, I’ve dabbled in both careers and settling in on nursing in a year. Take care of your fucking back! Do the gay stretches if you must, we just lost a good nurse on disability.

Paramedic your doing to do plenty of transfers your first year so the back rule still applies, plus in the field if fire hadn’t met you there already it’s up to you and your partner to get that 300 lbs patient to the gurney from the ground.

For fire nothing else brand new, just get fit and work on cardio, especially if you have to do wildland at anytime, you hike and carry Hose 24 hrs, unless you work fed then it’s 12 hour shifts. One thing my old captain said on fitness regarding a chad departments crossfit gangbang culture, he said “cool you can deadlift really fast fir 10 minutes but no one trains to wear a SCBA for 4 hours “

Get through the class the best you can. The majority of your co-workers will be female, it's a fact women dominate healthcare. If you can get along with them you're golden. If you are proactive, self motivated and most of all embody an attitude of professional conduct you will inveotably step on someone's toes. Stay in your scope, never try to exceed your station. Develop a technical mastery of the tasks you perform and you will be recognized for it. Carry with you an empty tool box to fill with valuable experience. That toolbox will take you far if decide to go to nursing school. Don't neglect your tools, the day you stop learning is the day you retire. You will burn out. It's a fact. Don't be afraid to talk about it. The first year as a CNA is the hardest. I'd like to say it gets better but the reality is you just learn to deal with things better. If someone tells you "oh Mrs so and so? I can transfer her alone why can't you?" You look them square in their fat face and tell them to get their lazy ass in that room and help you transfer that patient.

I recently got licensed as a male Massage Therapist (I study physio-therapy), and mostly it requires a solid core

I cannot stress the importance of having worthwhile experience and skills in your medical career. Just last night while working on a medical/surgical unit, I a humble lowly CNA, expressed my concerns about a patient with COPD/anxiety/hypoxia in regards to the amount of fluid she was recieving by IV while her output was minimal by contrast. By using my prior knowledge of a similar case I not only correctly identified fluid overload, but had brought to the burses attention the marked contrast between her output and input. Liters of saline in, 300mls out is not good.

Master the basics to create a foundation for the rest of your career. I've taught post graduate nurses with no prior experience the most basic tasks of nursing including ostomy care and dressing. They actually use Play-Doh on a maniquen to simulate and ostomy?! Rather than send them to a sniff for a weekend.

Not that user but don't burn out and stop caring. You will find even ''good''' nursing homes with CNAs who don't treat patients with the dignity and care they deserve, because they get jaded or are fucked around by a system which don't give them enough time/training. Once you see the signs, don't stay as a CNA and upskill to a nurse or switch jobs.

Most of that is about what I expect. Nice to know I'm being realistic about it.

I've volunteered in nursing homes so I know it's not perfect already. Resources are limited and people can only do so much. Can't say I'm interested in doing more schooling after this though, it's already a struggle for me. I don't have the brains for long college studies

This, sub acute nursing homes will parade their five star ratings in front of your face and do more to preserve it than care for their residents. I've recently toured a number of sniffs in and around the Adventist health network and I found that even in five star facilities sub par care was being rendered. Get your experience in a sniff but leave for a hospital/school. I spent two years at my old job because I got comfortable and didn't look for work elsewhere. The hospital job I work now is way better. I have every resource I could want and a laundry staff that stocks the fucking linen closet. I need to sleep for my 12 hour shift tonight. Enough sleep drunk posting.

>tfw graduate nursing school in August
Almost there, bros. I am so excited to start working and stop being a poorfag.
