83Working 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.
41friendly reminder to unionize and fight back
18Fuck 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.
27This guy hasn't heard about the neural implant yet 😏

Nah just eat those flintstone multivitamins they've got the power of gods
12On the topic of eating healthy shit, I got mega high on edibles the other day and realized you can put Frank's Red Hot on literally anything, but the #1 top thing I tried was unflavored rice cakes. Those boring ass cardboard things. Seriously try it, shit is amazing, only 4 calories
11Have you tried cutting out the rice cakes and just putting Frank's Red Hot directly into your mouth?
13I don't think I'd like that because Frank's goes from really good to downright disgusting if it's too much and too cold, but I'll give it a shot next time I'm super high. I was also thinking that rice cakes marketed towards dudes who love bacon and wings isn't really a thing, but I'm too lazy to start a business. If you're looking for a million dollar idea sell me some nacho flavored rice cakes

Frank's Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.
2Quaker 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.)
8I 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.
6I like to dip them in hummus. Sliced cucumbers with hummus is also a good snack.
3Not what you asked for but my lazy healthy meal is soylent. I have 500 - 1000 calories a day. Almost no effort, sorta cheap, sorta healthy.

They're learning from chatgpt, rip us
7Before 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.
6Capitalism is the system of winners! And winners make the money and write the rules! And you can't cheat if you write the rules!

This has been a thing for a while. Also, I'd rather have them realize they don't know and look up an answer than guess. I'm happy with doctors being professional "cheaters," but we have to get with the times.
6I'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.
0You 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.

Is Salad once a week good?
3Time to turn over a new leaf... or eat one.
3Oh good so salads will fix congenital issues now. Better get to taking some extra coconut oil.
3You know what they call the guy who graduated bottom of his class in medical school?
"Doctor."
