>tfw no medbot gf or medbot friend

Life truly is painful

graduated med school in 2010, finished residency 2014. used to study a good 4-6 hours a day in med school. in residency you cluster your studying in the 3 months around board exams. now i only work 2 weeks a month and make around 1400 dollars a shift after taxes. never have to study or read anything anymore off the clock. life is pretty comfy

Im an EMT
Live in a huge city on the west coast.
Basically i see people die/freshly dead every day.

>>38209005
that's what a long white coat is for

I'm a nurse, but with no work experience and pathetic professional knowledge. It's making me very sad, especially because I'm supposed to start my first job, abroad, after almost 10 years of NEETdom.

The thought of embarrassing myself by not knowing something is my biggest fear in life (right after knowing that I can't die peacefully in my slseep).

>>38208994
As soon as I got my degree, I became a hikiNEET.

so you became a nurse, but for some reason, didn't take the nclex, and became a NEET for 10 years?
what was the point of going through nursing school, then?

>>38210772

I'm not from the states.
Our nursing schools start when you're 14 years old (highschool) and you graduate 4 years later. After that I went to med-school, but dropped out for being too stupid. Then I didn't do anything for 8 years. A year ago, I finally did an a required internship and passed the state exam (I guess that's what you call the nclex).

I didn't expect to become like this when I started nursing school. I hate myself now, am not capable to socialise because of that and I don't know how I'm supposed to work in such a field. Maybe I could do that, if my brain wasn't so screwed from the years of neglect (no stimulation since I dropped out) and I could relearn all the things.

>>38210912
what country are you from?
i've never heard of nursing schools starting at 14.
have you gotten any sort of psych treatment or seen a therapist? i used to go to one, but i stopped talking to her because i felt so awkward describing my problems.

is it possible you could take an OR position or something in a place that REALLY REALLY REALLY needs nurses desperately? i know there are plenty of northern regions in canada that are desperate for nurses, especially if you go to small towns. they'd probably train you. or small towns in the states. i hear it's very easy to get a job in texas.

>>38208994
Fuck off, you fucking frauds.

The medical industry is a meme.

>>38210993
Conservatives like it that way.
In a communistic paradise like Sweden, the medical industry is amazing.

>>38210968

I'm from one of the former Yugoslavian countries. Nursing schools are one of the specialized high-schools there, but there are also nursing degrees in universities (which are getting more popular recently).

>have you gotten any sort of psych treatment or seen a therapist?
Yes, reluctantly. I didn't see a point, because they sent me to a psychiatrist and I know that it's nothing pathological. It's just a severe character flaw that turned me into the person that I am now (mostly shyness and low determination). There was no point in seeking help from a medical professional.
I am trying to go abroad now, but to a European country that has a nursing shortage. I'm terrified by that, because of the reasons mentioned above plus an environment in a foreign language.
It's impossible for people from here to find nursing work elsewhere. Our degrees/diplomas wouldn't be recognized and that's understandable when I see how US nurses do knowledge-wise compared to ours.

>i stopped talking to her because i felt so awkward describing my problems
Why is it awkward? They do those things daily for years and they probably don't even care about you (which isn't desirable to be honest). As long as you think it helps you, I'd try to overcome the initial awkwardness.

>>38208994
Probably average out to somewhere between 30 to 60 minutes a day. On top of maybe 30h per week of lectures and placement.

Study isn't what ruins my life, autistically browsing r9k is

>>38211073
oh, that's funny, my family came over from the former yugoslavia in the 90s, i'm shit at reading naski, though.
where are you planning to go abroad? and i wonder why you feel that nurses in the US would know more than you, knowledge-wise, if you've gone to medical school. either way, good luck, anon. your english is very good.
and that's true, but i have issues with being shy, too. and anyways, since i graduated, i don't think i'm able to see the therapist at my uni, anymore. i just graduated from nursing school, but i had issues in my last clinicals, because i'm pretty sure my preceptor didn't like me. i think she could sense my fear. but she was pretty two-faced, and always complained about patients.
funnily enough, the placement i liked the best was my psych placement. i didn't feel like i was being rushed by endless demands.

>>38211170
I don't understand how robots are able to get into medical school in the first place. Don't you have to do a lot of volunteering and stuff in undergrad?

>>38211236
Where I live you don't have to do any bullshit like that.

>>38211208

Aww shit nigga, what a coincidence.
My plan is to go to Germany and I'm 1/3rd there.

>why you feel that nurses in the US would know more than you
From watching ER (the TV show) mostly and then comparing that to what I've seen during my internship and seeing my colleagues. Also from what you've written so far, it sounds already way more organized and demanding than what we have here.
My stint at med school lasted barely a year and I spent the last months locked away in my room and not doing anything. I didn't really learn anything there.
I don't know, like I said, I am absolutely horrified by the potential embarrassment and I can't even study to prevent it because I'm so retarded now (I think my short term memory is fucked).

Were you afraid of going to see a therapist because it might end up in your medical record and it might screw you up job-wise if they found out that you're "unstable"?
Also, how would you rate your nursing knowledge? Are you able to do the job? Like, do you generally know what to do and how to do it? Because I feel like I have 10% knowledge, but it's all in snippets and missing the crucial things which would allow me to string them together and actually "nurse" someone when working.

>>38211236
>Guy you replied to
Interviews in my country are granted based on school marks (I did okay) and a standardised IQ style test that I fucking excelled at.
I'm also incredibly good in interviews (having a conversation with a goal and implied framework like that is so much easier than '''small talk"').
And I spent highschool volunteering with the National Guard and a civilian ambulance organisation.
Finally, I grew up living in squats and crack houses because my patents were literal junkies so some unis gave me bonus points for a disadvantaged background.

In the end I got offers to each of the 4 medical schools I applied to and some scholarships to boot.

>>38211378
what were the placements like where you live?
although ER and other hospital shows are really dramatic and inaccurate.
and i'm curious about your short-term memory. you could look up some nclex practice questions and see how well you do on those and what knowledge you're missing. although, if you haven't thought about anything nursing-related in ten years, i can see how it would be difficult to find a place to start studying.
and i wasn't afraid of that. my uni actually had a special therapist just for nursing and med students. but i think most people can tell what i'm like just by looking at me, i never had one instructor that didn't comment on how 'quiet' i was, which is their polite way of saying awkward.
and i feel like i can do the job, but i'm planning on applying in a different state where they have residency programs for new nurses. right now, i feel like i could barely take care of myself when i have a cold. there is so much i need to learn, and i feel like where i live, they really rush nurses, and there are too many patients and not enough nurses. my long-term plan is to go to california after i get some experience - that's the best place for nurses, by far.

>>38211236
Also. I went straight into med school at 18, no fucking undergrad bullshit here.

>>38211495
Damn it, I had amazing marks in high school and just average marks in undergrad. You're telling me I missed out on the chance to become a rich radiologist who doesn't have to talk to anybody because I was born in the wrong country?

If you're functional enough to study something advanced like medicine you're a fucking normalfag.

>>38211531
Hahah, good fixing luck becoming a radiologist here. We import under=educated shitskins to depress wages and now all the residency programs are oversubscribed. Likely as not you'd end up as a general practitioner earning the equivalent of 50-200k US for a 40h week

>>38211592
australia? originalo

Ex-medbot here, I balanced "life" and studying by dropping out after 6 years

>>38208994

I'm an EMT. Actual fucking garbageman for retards who can't take care of themselves. AMA.

>>38211478

What's so good about California? The salary? How much would you be making there and how much are you making now?
If I were to work here, I'd be making around 450$ monthly. In Germany that would be around 1400$ dollars (tax free).

>how many hours you study
Used to be around seven/eight per day, all day of the week because i never went to lessons (wonder of EU uni). I dropped to almost zero because i had a mental breakdown plus depression and now i am around four/five trying to go back to my previous rhythm so i can finish in time
Same applies for social life, used to have some kind of social interaction, now i stay in home all day wondering how to recover

Undergrad here.

> How many hours do you study each day?
19 credit hours. Combined class/work/study time adds up to around 30-40-ish hours a week of work. On break now and slacking HARD on the MCAT prep; maybe 20 minutes to half an hour a day actually caring.

> How do you have a balance life with all the studying?
You don't. You have friends who are as neurotic and overworked as you are, and you don't sleep. Also, I'm distant and unattached as fuck and my standards for virtually everything have gone crashing through the floor, my life and obligations are in splinters spanning the continental United States, I drop off the face of the Earth sometimes, and I've nearly given up on finding a mate.

That on its own seems like it has stories behind it. What's some Jackass--tier shit you've had to deal with? Or do you just mean people being unhealthy in general?

>>38208994
Med student in Hueland starting last year of college. I usually don't study because I'm a lazy fuck, and when I study it's just a couple hours before I get bored and procrastinate. I can't make myself stop being lazy and probably am gonna fail residence entrance examination next year. I also fear that when I start working I'm gonna know shit. I hate myself and regret going to medschool, but now it's too late.

I would just like to say I respect all of you people actually learning hard everyday.
I've finished Maritime Transport, and even though there were times I studied, I can't really remember those much, it was always a one time deal. I can' tfind any work, though, so I guess that's my punishment.
Stay strong brothers.

I dropped out of theoretical computer science because I'm too much of a brainlet. Got into medicine and people are even more stupid than me. And I'm legit retard.

>>38211236
Here you just need to do a test composed of objective and writen questions plus write a composition on a determined subject. Medicine has the most competition, so it's not easy to get in the best schools.

>>38211546
I agree that medicine it's not for a full blown robot, but a cyborg could go trough it just fine.
