This is very sad. I have two degrees, one in finance (2005) and one in nursing (2014). The stark drop in quality education in those ten years is frightening. When I received my finance degree professors challenged students and students loved it, we rose to the challenge and it made is more confident in our stances or allowed us to see where our thinking went wrong. Now professors hand hold their students, cow tow to them, and are afraid to challenge them. These students are going to come into a work environment that is not friendly to them, and after seeing things like this, is going to seem like it's openly hostile to them. It's quite scary.
Here's hoping it hasn't and won't. I think it probably also has to do with where you are located. I am located in the SF Bay Area and the school I went to, has in its mission statement that it is a social justice school.
That's what they say they stand for but there's a difference between what they say they stand for and how they put that into practice. In theory everyone is equal. In practice, everyone is divided into groups and rewarded and/or penalized based on their group identity.
This was my experience back in 2010. It's hard to bulldoze a professor and demand grades for something that is objectively incorrect in a scientific sense. It's much easier to bulldoze them about your paper on the influence of the shake weight on modern culture: a retrospective in mid 2000s misogyny.
Yeah, programming, engineering, math, physics, etc. don't give a shit about how you feel. A bridge isn't going to stay up if you feel it should, a program won't run because if it doesn't it oppresses you, rockets don't fly on good feelings.
They're inherently empirical. You're constantly testing your code against the compiler and the machine. And architecture, inherently accountable to physics.
Those disciplines have constant, direct feedback with reality. As any coder knows, you can't code for very long without making a hundred mistakes. Yet we're supposed to believe that something enormously more complex and which provide extremely limited feedback, such as the social sciences, are just bulletproof and devoid of human error, suitable for the public without FDA approval.
Like, we can't even get a rocket to function without error after so many decades of research and testing, but we're supposed to believe critical race theory is ready for primetime, ready to be imposed on everyone without exception.
These guys need to betatest that shit inside some hipster liberal torture chamber first... For like, 400-500 years... Maybe then it'll be Solid Social Software Suitable for Society (SSSSS) but of course they're just going to rush that shit out in like 3 months, hubris don't real man
I've seen women try in fields like computer science. Sometimes it's more of an issue for a grade on something like a project (since every student does something different). There might have been doubts whether some female was graded more harshly. Some tried to make some noise when they didn't get the grades they thought they deserved.
But then if you looked at their previous grades on things like exams where everything is anonymous and there's only one right answer to each question, those who underperformed were underperforming there also.
The advantage of any STEM field is that usually faculty understands statistics so it's hard to take one "incident" (a bad grade for instance) and spin it into a story of oppression.
I'm currently having a great final year of my undergrad in physics in 2016. Definitely get challenged here, you'll get torn to shreds if you try and do a presentation when you don't deeply understand the physics, as I did in my third year. Not a fun experience but apparently it happens to everyone here, definitely no hand holding at all.
Basically in my 2nd year I had a really bad lab partner, he was clearly severely autistic and was a cold person to everyone. One day he came in and had self harm scars on his arm, and once we gave a bench presentation and he just walked off without warning while we were presenting to like 10 demonstrators.
I really didn't want a lab partner that shit again so as soon as someone posted on facebook asking if they wanted one I was like obviously yeh I don't want to end up with a mentally disabled guy. Only issue is that he wanted to do nuclear labs and I didn't know much about nuclear physics. I tried to coast through the lab since it was only 6 weeks but they were super hardcore about it, we had to be at the top of our game. We got sprung with a talk only a week before and we wrote up a presentation which I felt okay about, but my lab partner accidentally deleted the most important slide, and my lack of physics knowledge shone plainly, I just didn't get it enough. There were two professors there who started asking really fundamental questions that I just didn't get and basically just grilling us and my lab partner wasn't answering and I was just getting frustrated and embarrassed and ended up snapping a bit. It ended with him like "I really think you need to review the physics". It was horrible because I felt pretty confident beforehand. Now I've told myself I'll never try something so stupid again, always gonna fully understand the experiment now.
Definitely the low point in my physics career, but I did well in the report so that's good, ended up with 68% which is almost a first. Got like 56% in the talk I think?
Not really in the STEM courses, but in the universities themselves. For instance, universities starting mandatory "gender equality" conferences and that kind of bullshit.
Why go into nursing after getting a degree in finance? Just curious because I just started my MBA in finance and now u got me worries that I should be looking at another program lol.
Well, to be honest, I probably should have done nursing from the beginning. In my first round of college, I had started out pre-med but due to financial considerations and that I was getting burned out from school, I switched to finance. Don't get me wrong, finance was a good career path, just not the right "fit" for me. I enjoyed the coursework but I didn't like the actual career. Many people who go into finance enjoy it, many people don't. Don't take my example and extend it to yourself. For me, it just wasn't right. Many people are quite satisfied with finance careers, many aren't. Just like many people are satisfied with nursing as their career and many aren't. I was lucky enough to get into a field I wanted - emergency medicine - if I had been hired in a clinic or another department I might not have been so satisfied.
What's a nurse's role in an emergency medicine field? Like, you discover a severely malnourished child and you emergency breastfeed it? Honest question.
We assess, administer medications, order lab work and imaging when indicated, do certain procedures, and coordinate patient care. During a code one of use will record what's going on and another one of us will administer medications. We're also the eyes and ears of the doctor when they are with another patient and we need to know when we can interrupt a doctor for something critical or when something can wait.
Things I do during a typical shift include:
Start IVs
Order lab work and imaging
Administer medications, some of which are high risk and some of which are routine
Assess and re-assess the patients I have
Help during an intubation and take are of intubated patients and patients with central lines before they go to the ICU
Take care of patients who have had a stroke and administer the necessary medications
Take care of patients who have survived a cardiac arrest
Prepare patients who are having a heart attack to go to the cath lab
There's a lot of stuff I do, but since I'm a male, I can't give an emergency breastfeed. I can call L&D to send us some formula though!
When I was in High School a lot of people just saw me as argumentative, but my view was that a conversation is really just a circlejerk unless you've got two sides pushing and pulling around an issue. Yeah, I can get passionate, but I just like engaging in conversation, I didn't care about "winning," persay...(Like, how can you lose when you're always right?)
It's kinda like a game, you don't take it too seriously. You always keep in mind that you're approaching whatever from a finite position, and you'll always miss some aspect. That's just the nature of being alive and the limits of knowledge.
Also, I wanna go into the humanities, which I think is one of the most important areas of the universities (that's really the subject matter the whole university systems developed around), and one of the areas most in need of people with both a quick and sharp mind/tongue to help whip these little shits into shape.
This is a noble idea, but the reality of what the job actually entails, and the reality of getting a job in academia to begin with that isn't adjunct (esp in the humanities) is very grim. You'd be better off teaching high school instead if you're interested in actually making a difference.

Mmm...I'd never argue any of those things. But I would gladly argue the point that Hitler wasn't really evil, since technically he was just trying to make the world "a better place," / a utopia. It just so happened those things didn't happen to include Jews, gays, gypsies, retards, and probably a couple other groups of people.
Aren't we all just trying to make the world a better place? Just goes to show the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
I have a degree in Creative Writing. As part of that degree I had to take a critical theory class. My teacher was a good teacher. Even though she had some type of emphasis on women's studies she never used told us what to think or howto think. When we talked about the material we studied and discussed it as objectively as possible.
As a general required class I had a diversity class as well. Again, we learned about cultures and minorities as well as racism and things like that. However, there was no discussion about privilege or the evils of privilege plus power or any of this SJW stuff. That was back in 2005-2009 before this new crap came up. Things have changed in academia and in our culture. Its terrible.
Yes, I agree with you, but the issue is much more complex than can be discussed in a few lines. I was giving my observation of the dichotomy between the education system when I received my first degree versus my second degree. And I was also stating a fact that my school has, in its mission statement, that it is a school involved with social justice.
I received my degree a year ago after taking a break (started in 2008) and I did not notice a decline in education quality. You can speak for your college(S), but to make generalized statements about the entire education system is foolish.
it's probably at least partially because the people who attend schools like Berkeley and NYU are often rich shits with have families that can pay for them. people who are born into wealth like that frequently tend to be entitled cunts in my experience
I don't know, I'm studying film currently, but I would have to disagree. If someone says something in lecture, I have a prof that asks why they think that(usually about the persons opinion on a movie or why they think a meaning is a certain way. Another one of my profs(for film making not theory) constantly will challenge you on why you are including something in a film - he is very good at pointing out things that someone could have a problem with, or simply wants use to make sense of what we are trying to create. One of his catch phrases is "kill your darling".
It could honestly be a school to school thing, but I like how much interaction the classes get with the profs to start dialogue in class
The way I saw it (not saying this is fact) is that unlike most people running for the office, I wasn't doing it as his life's ambition. He seems to be doing it because he believes that nobody else is going to do the things he thinks needs to be done.
I am not so sure, I think Howard Stern's assessment. Stern makes the supposition that Trump was doing it to get more money for The Apprentice and that being in office will be hard for his well being. I think Trump doesn't realize how hard being POTUS can be.
Yup, I agree he didn't want the presidency. I think no one was more shocked than him when he won. Now he's like "oh shit, WTF do I do? Let me sign a bunch of executive orders, get the press involved in those for a while, and I'll think up WTF to do next!"
It could be he is in for a suprise. His friend Howard Stern mentioned he really likes to be liked. I don't think he is a horrible person, I think he has no filter and that can be a liability when you are president.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
I AM ON THE GOOD SIDE I DEMAND THAT AGENTS OF THE STATE LAWLESSLY BRUTALIZE PEOPLE I CALL NAZIS (I AM TOO HIGH-STATUS TO COMMIT EXTRALEGAL BEATINGS MYSELF.)
Time for some horseshoe theory: this current politick is great for flushing out the wackjobs on both tips of the horseshoe.
Not just the left either. I've creamed my pants several times over r/uncensorednews and The Donald censoring opposing views in their safe spaces while simultaneously calling out SJW's for doing the same.
To believers of extremist ideologies it is not hypocrisy but justice. You can mock them all you want, but they will never see their actions from an outside perspective.
Nothing makes an extremist happier than to use their opponent's strategy against them.
Either you're pro-censorship without the right to make fun of offended lefties or you're for free speech and do have the right to make fun of offended lefties.
Trump-fans often criticize the left for being fragile snowflakes that can't cope with having their worldview challenged. They laugh at the fact that fragile lefties need safe spaces. They wrinkle their noses at the thought of someones feelings being more important than the truth.
At the same time a lot of Trump supporting subs heavily censor its content. People start LITERALLY SHAKING when liberals go their to debate or troll. They demand a safe space for their sub. The feelings of the community is more important than open debate or challenging your worldview.
This is called a double-standard. This makes you a hypocrite. You can't scoff at the left when you are just as pathetic. Either change your own behaviour or stop scoffing at the left.
Same with alt-right. First, people who disliked SJWs were alt-right. Then, /pol/ memesters were alt-right. Then Trump supporters were alt-right. Now, honest-to-god "gas the kikes" Neo-Nazis are claiming the moniker, but it's lost all meaning long ago, so the left's wailing falls on deaf ears because, as they've been warned, they've been crying wolf too much.
There's a really neat thing I learned about recently. Alarm fatigue. It's a really big problem in healthcare that nurses are exposed to so many alarms, so often, that they stop caring about all the alarms, even the actually serious ones.
My point is, when everyone is a Nazi, then no one cares about actual Nazis anymore.
No, I don't. But given her behavior I almost feel that isn't earned with superior intellect as someone would assume.
If she can be a professor and act this way it kind of pisses me off because there are people who would actually love that position (but can't have it due to financial limitations) and wouldn't act like an asshat in front of their students. I know she's hardly the first professor to act unprofessional and far worse has been done, but I guess in this circumstance it's particularly frustrating because it seems like it's being condoned and that disciplinary action for this behavior isn't a guaranteed.
It was like a teacher I had in high school, they found out he was flirting with the girls. So they moved him to the fucking middle school. <>_<> That wasn't effective either. So they put him back in the high school and finally fired him. I'm not even a parent and I was pretty fucking outraged.
Tl;Dr teachers seem to get away with acting like assholes.
No. You don't have a masters degree so you can't work at a university. I didn't bother reading your paragraphs because they have nothing to do with teaching at a university.
You can actually be a hired contractor and teach at a university if you have experience in the field. For example, one the best teachers I had in college had a B.A in art but he worked in the GIS field for 20 years and while he didn't know all of the theory aspects behind making maps he taught the class well enough for students to be hired into GIS jobs with only his class under their belt. But I'm sure that's only for certain disciplines

Not really true. Lower level classes are taught by people with bachelors degrees all the time. Although they often are in grad school at the same time or about to be.
I almost feel that isn't earned with superior intellect as someone would assume
It isn't. It does require an above-average intellect, a lot of pointless, grinding work, and (this is the most important part) willingness to conform to the culture of academia.
Her being a professor or not doesn't change that the behavior is abhorrent. That's why nobody really cares. She could cook fries and that doesn't change what she did. I would just change my comment accordingly.
Well, it makes it much worse. I agree that she doesn't get any semblance of a pass if she isn't faculty, it just reflects better on the school if she isn't.
It's funny* that an antifa believes that having the police manhandle someone at their request and in their stead leaves them occupying the moral high ground.
Actually, it's probably some really artsy fartsy shit program like "civil engineering", or as we used to call that program "drinking beer till you puke on the nursing students".
You r/drama mods are fucking assholes! You're protecting the Nazis! You should kick their ass! You should! These regular r/drama posters are trying to shitpost about human rights and against racism and xenophobia, and LGBTQ rights, and faggots and shit, and you're letting these fucking neo-nazis post comments in here! It's not up these microdicked whimp ass r/drama posters to kick the ass of a neo-nazi! They don't have to raise their fist! They were taught to be whimp ass faggots! Fuck You!
Should go gone to other subs. You're picking the wrong fight here. Just see how many death threats you are getting here, and try it again at some other places.
If by "death threats" you mean requests by random posters to fuck their girlfriends while they sit in a corner and masturbate, yea, maybe you're right.
How do u know I don't mean it? What if I was hell bent on killing the biggest retards in the world? Eventually I'd end up committing suicide, but not before I murdered you and ur family tbqh famalam
i'm about 60% certain ideological purity tests will screw the dems over in 2020 and trump will win again. tho maybe the far left will have calmed down by then and stop shrieking everytime trump does something they don't like
There's a spilt right now. Some Dems are finally saying out loud that playing identity politics is a stupid idea when your opponent owns the biggest identity group (cumskins), but others want to double-down because it's all they know.
From what I have seen, both in the news and class discussions is that people that are more concerned with identity politics are less likely to be sympathetic to the average person.
Huh, I'm wondering if he's going to resign after a couple of months of shitting the bed every week and getting overturned and hated and laughed at.
I mean, imagine: you make all that effort to sign an actual "keep away Muslim terrorists" executive order using a big and unwieldy pen on Friday, and on Monday it's overturned and everyone is, like, lol, the moron obviously just never considered green card holders, what kind of a clown he is? It's pretty disheartening, let me tell you.
Idk, I have intrusive thoughts about Donald J. Trump as a T-Rex, signing that executive order with his T-Rex hands, then wailing in distress when he's foiled by the judicial branch and despised by everyone, on the left for going for it, on the right for being stonewalled like that. Poor guy!
It doesn't look good for them. I don't see them losing the governor's house in OR, WA, or CA, but that might be all they're left with. They're basically a state and local party at this point. Man that 3rd way really worked out great for the gop. Thanks Clintons.
You don't have to be on the left to fall into the category described by nomad. Plenty of people in the center and some on the right who dislike Trump and the far left.
People on the right were speaking out against Trump before the election, not so much now that he's in power. I would love to see more dissent from the right, but so far I ain't seen shit.
I don't like Trump, but there's two things keeping me personally from criticizing him more:
1) He is pissing off a lot of the people I don't like - making them display their latent bat-shit insanity in a very public way. So there's that. And so far the truly repulsive left is providing too many lulz for me to get serious about criticizing Trump.
2)He really hasn't done anything really bad so far. He is doing many things, and much of it's stupid, but it's obvious the strategy here is 'move fast and break things', generate controversy, make changes and make his opponents react to his news cycle.
it's obvious the strategy here is 'move fast and break things'
it seems more likely that the strategy is (or at least includes) the "Pence rope-a-dope" that he spent his whole term as governor using: you push a policy, get your opponents to react in a certain way to oppose the policy, and thereby get what you really wanted, which was their reaction
The Republicans are very interested in locking in the one-off Trump coalition and are more than likely intentionally provoking protests to do that; they can now go to all the disaffected rural voters who voted for them this time and say "so the Democrats can mobilize a million protesters, raise a hundred million dollars, when some Muslims get stuck at the airport -- but you get left in the lurch for twenty years and they don't lift a finger. This is what it would look like if they gave a shit about you and they don't give a shit about you."
Your analysis doesn't make sense. What's the point in your real goal being 'getting your opponent's reaction'? That wouldn't do anything. Your real goal would be to either pass policy, or gain more support for passing policy. If the republicans are interested in 'locking the Trump coalition', they're as much fools as the Dems were when they talked about locking the Obama coalition. Random things make non-voters come to the polls. Depending on them to be consistent is a fools game.
I went over what the goal would be -- pushing people to make the mental jump from "I am willing to vote for Trump #neverHillary" to "I am on Team Trump." We know he has re-election on the mind, because he, uniquely among modern presidents, has already filed his candidacy paperwork only a couple weeks into his term.
also votes aren't "random," and happenstance and scandal doesn't really affect all that much. Political "animal spirits" are overrelied on as an excuse by analysts to make up for the fact that they've screwed up. "Some voters might vote for reasons we don't anticipate" also doesn't justify the conclusion "don't have any kind of political strategy"
Yeah, this is me. We need to come up with a better term for the authoritarian left, though. "Authoritarian left" is too long, and "SJWs" is too insular. "Crybullies" might have legs.
I lean quite left and I think this wave of protesters against Trump is the most pathetic, whiny, entitled, laughable waste of fucking time movement I have ever seen. They wouldn't have done shit if Clinton had won.
I think Trump is a repulsive piece of shit, but maybe if these cunts had been protesting more during the Obama era and forcing reform of the democrats, then Trump wouldn't have won and we wouldn't be in this mess. And then you show up on day one of Trump and act like this is all a big outrage and how shocked you are... Fuck off.
One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions – what are you going to land on – one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics.
There's this weird pseudo pacifism on the left. I see it a lot in the gun debate. Hard core liberals simply can't imagine doing violence, even for defense of self or loved ones, but they have no problems with it being done in their name.
Ironically theyre exactly like the imperialists that they criticize, the supporters of the various scrambles for Africa for instance usually werent the soldiers who actually had to go in and keep order in the colonies and see what "keeping order meant."
"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshiped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under "M" for Mankind—in The Twilight Zone."
This quote from one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes rings true today. The episode (The Obsolete Man) is also worth a watch.
It's more than a bit cheesy and placative, though. It's like saying that Star Trek has good life lessons - it probably does, but you'll cringe so much that you won't notice them.
True. I still think it gets the point across. Its something that aired on TV for around 25 minutes. I don't think that left a lot of room to get into something deeper or more complex. I mean some extremely skilled writers could probably do better but they had to work with what they got.

Yeah, programming, engineering, math, physics, etc. don't give a shit about how you feel. A bridge isn't going to stay up if you feel it should, a program won't run because if it doesn't it oppresses you, rockets don't fly on good feelings.

They're inherently empirical. You're constantly testing your code against the compiler and the machine. And architecture, inherently accountable to physics.
Those disciplines have constant, direct feedback with reality. As any coder knows, you can't code for very long without making a hundred mistakes. Yet we're supposed to believe that something enormously more complex and which provide extremely limited feedback, such as the social sciences, are just bulletproof and devoid of human error, suitable for the public without FDA approval.
Like, we can't even get a rocket to function without error after so many decades of research and testing, but we're supposed to believe critical race theory is ready for primetime, ready to be imposed on everyone without exception.
These guys need to betatest that shit inside some hipster liberal torture chamber first... For like, 400-500 years... Maybe then it'll be Solid Social Software Suitable for Society (SSSSS) but of course they're just going to rush that shit out in like 3 months, hubris don't real man
n/a BannedFromImzy 2017-02-03
I've seen women try in fields like computer science. Sometimes it's more of an issue for a grade on something like a project (since every student does something different). There might have been doubts whether some female was graded more harshly. Some tried to make some noise when they didn't get the grades they thought they deserved.
But then if you looked at their previous grades on things like exams where everything is anonymous and there's only one right answer to each question, those who underperformed were underperforming there also.
The advantage of any STEM field is that usually faculty understands statistics so it's hard to take one "incident" (a bad grade for instance) and spin it into a story of oppression.
n/a takaci 2017-02-03
I'm currently having a great final year of my undergrad in physics in 2016. Definitely get challenged here, you'll get torn to shreds if you try and do a presentation when you don't deeply understand the physics, as I did in my third year. Not a fun experience but apparently it happens to everyone here, definitely no hand holding at all.
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-02-03
what happened during that presentation?
n/a takaci 2017-02-03
Basically in my 2nd year I had a really bad lab partner, he was clearly severely autistic and was a cold person to everyone. One day he came in and had self harm scars on his arm, and once we gave a bench presentation and he just walked off without warning while we were presenting to like 10 demonstrators.
I really didn't want a lab partner that shit again so as soon as someone posted on facebook asking if they wanted one I was like obviously yeh I don't want to end up with a mentally disabled guy. Only issue is that he wanted to do nuclear labs and I didn't know much about nuclear physics. I tried to coast through the lab since it was only 6 weeks but they were super hardcore about it, we had to be at the top of our game. We got sprung with a talk only a week before and we wrote up a presentation which I felt okay about, but my lab partner accidentally deleted the most important slide, and my lack of physics knowledge shone plainly, I just didn't get it enough. There were two professors there who started asking really fundamental questions that I just didn't get and basically just grilling us and my lab partner wasn't answering and I was just getting frustrated and embarrassed and ended up snapping a bit. It ended with him like "I really think you need to review the physics". It was horrible because I felt pretty confident beforehand. Now I've told myself I'll never try something so stupid again, always gonna fully understand the experiment now.
Definitely the low point in my physics career, but I did well in the report so that's good, ended up with 68% which is almost a first. Got like 56% in the talk I think?

Why go into nursing after getting a degree in finance? Just curious because I just started my MBA in finance and now u got me worries that I should be looking at another program lol.
n/a P51Mike1980 2017-02-03
Well, to be honest, I probably should have done nursing from the beginning. In my first round of college, I had started out pre-med but due to financial considerations and that I was getting burned out from school, I switched to finance. Don't get me wrong, finance was a good career path, just not the right "fit" for me. I enjoyed the coursework but I didn't like the actual career. Many people who go into finance enjoy it, many people don't. Don't take my example and extend it to yourself. For me, it just wasn't right. Many people are quite satisfied with finance careers, many aren't. Just like many people are satisfied with nursing as their career and many aren't. I was lucky enough to get into a field I wanted - emergency medicine - if I had been hired in a clinic or another department I might not have been so satisfied.
n/a Works_of_memercy 2017-02-03
What's a nurse's role in an emergency medicine field? Like, you discover a severely malnourished child and you emergency breastfeed it? Honest question.
n/a P51Mike1980 2017-02-03
We assess, administer medications, order lab work and imaging when indicated, do certain procedures, and coordinate patient care. During a code one of use will record what's going on and another one of us will administer medications. We're also the eyes and ears of the doctor when they are with another patient and we need to know when we can interrupt a doctor for something critical or when something can wait.
Things I do during a typical shift include:
Start IVs
Order lab work and imaging
Administer medications, some of which are high risk and some of which are routine
Assess and re-assess the patients I have
Help during an intubation and take are of intubated patients and patients with central lines before they go to the ICU
Take care of patients who have had a stroke and administer the necessary medications
Take care of patients who have survived a cardiac arrest
Prepare patients who are having a heart attack to go to the cath lab
There's a lot of stuff I do, but since I'm a male, I can't give an emergency breastfeed. I can call L&D to send us some formula though!

This is why I really want to become a professor.
When I was in High School a lot of people just saw me as argumentative, but my view was that a conversation is really just a circlejerk unless you've got two sides pushing and pulling around an issue. Yeah, I can get passionate, but I just like engaging in conversation, I didn't care about "winning," persay...(Like, how can you lose when you're always right?)
It's kinda like a game, you don't take it too seriously. You always keep in mind that you're approaching whatever from a finite position, and you'll always miss some aspect. That's just the nature of being alive and the limits of knowledge.
Also, I wanna go into the humanities, which I think is one of the most important areas of the universities (that's really the subject matter the whole university systems developed around), and one of the areas most in need of people with both a quick and sharp mind/tongue to help whip these little shits into shape.
n/a snallygaster 2017-02-03
This is a noble idea, but the reality of what the job actually entails, and the reality of getting a job in academia to begin with that isn't adjunct (esp in the humanities) is very grim. You'd be better off teaching high school instead if you're interested in actually making a difference.

I have a degree in Creative Writing. As part of that degree I had to take a critical theory class. My teacher was a good teacher. Even though she had some type of emphasis on women's studies she never used told us what to think or howto think. When we talked about the material we studied and discussed it as objectively as possible.
As a general required class I had a diversity class as well. Again, we learned about cultures and minorities as well as racism and things like that. However, there was no discussion about privilege or the evils of privilege plus power or any of this SJW stuff. That was back in 2005-2009 before this new crap came up. Things have changed in academia and in our culture. Its terrible.

I don't know, I'm studying film currently, but I would have to disagree. If someone says something in lecture, I have a prof that asks why they think that(usually about the persons opinion on a movie or why they think a meaning is a certain way. Another one of my profs(for film making not theory) constantly will challenge you on why you are including something in a film - he is very good at pointing out things that someone could have a problem with, or simply wants use to make sense of what we are trying to create. One of his catch phrases is "kill your darling".
It could honestly be a school to school thing, but I like how much interaction the classes get with the profs to start dialogue in class

Trump-fans often criticize the left for being fragile snowflakes that can't cope with having their worldview challenged. They laugh at the fact that fragile lefties need safe spaces. They wrinkle their noses at the thought of someones feelings being more important than the truth.
At the same time a lot of Trump supporting subs heavily censor its content. People start LITERALLY SHAKING when liberals go their to debate or troll. They demand a safe space for their sub. The feelings of the community is more important than open debate or challenging your worldview.
This is called a double-standard. This makes you a hypocrite. You can't scoff at the left when you are just as pathetic. Either change your own behaviour or stop scoffing at the left.

Same with alt-right. First, people who disliked SJWs were alt-right. Then, /pol/ memesters were alt-right. Then Trump supporters were alt-right. Now, honest-to-god "gas the kikes" Neo-Nazis are claiming the moniker, but it's lost all meaning long ago, so the left's wailing falls on deaf ears because, as they've been warned, they've been crying wolf too much.
n/a skivian 2017-02-03
There's a really neat thing I learned about recently. Alarm fatigue. It's a really big problem in healthcare that nurses are exposed to so many alarms, so often, that they stop caring about all the alarms, even the actually serious ones.
My point is, when everyone is a Nazi, then no one cares about actual Nazis anymore.

n/a HodorTheDoorHolder 2017-02-03
Do you have a masters degree?
n/a SoButtscrewed 2017-02-03
No, I don't. But given her behavior I almost feel that isn't earned with superior intellect as someone would assume.
If she can be a professor and act this way it kind of pisses me off because there are people who would actually love that position (but can't have it due to financial limitations) and wouldn't act like an asshat in front of their students. I know she's hardly the first professor to act unprofessional and far worse has been done, but I guess in this circumstance it's particularly frustrating because it seems like it's being condoned and that disciplinary action for this behavior isn't a guaranteed.
It was like a teacher I had in high school, they found out he was flirting with the girls. So they moved him to the fucking middle school. <>_<> That wasn't effective either. So they put him back in the high school and finally fired him. I'm not even a parent and I was pretty fucking outraged.

*to be a professor at a university
You can actually be a hired contractor and teach at a university if you have experience in the field. For example, one the best teachers I had in college had a B.A in art but he worked in the GIS field for 20 years and while he didn't know all of the theory aspects behind making maps he taught the class well enough for students to be hired into GIS jobs with only his class under their belt. But I'm sure that's only for certain disciplines
n/a HodorTheDoorHolder 2017-02-03
That's literally a trade school description.

n/a amaxen 2017-02-03
I don't like Trump, but there's two things keeping me personally from criticizing him more:
1) He is pissing off a lot of the people I don't like - making them display their latent bat-shit insanity in a very public way. So there's that. And so far the truly repulsive left is providing too many lulz for me to get serious about criticizing Trump.
2)He really hasn't done anything really bad so far. He is doing many things, and much of it's stupid, but it's obvious the strategy here is 'move fast and break things', generate controversy, make changes and make his opponents react to his news cycle.
n/a Fucking_That_Chicken 2017-02-03
it seems more likely that the strategy is (or at least includes) the "Pence rope-a-dope" that he spent his whole term as governor using: you push a policy, get your opponents to react in a certain way to oppose the policy, and thereby get what you really wanted, which was their reaction
The Republicans are very interested in locking in the one-off Trump coalition and are more than likely intentionally provoking protests to do that; they can now go to all the disaffected rural voters who voted for them this time and say "so the Democrats can mobilize a million protesters, raise a hundred million dollars, when some Muslims get stuck at the airport -- but you get left in the lurch for twenty years and they don't lift a finger. This is what it would look like if they gave a shit about you and they don't give a shit about you."
n/a amaxen 2017-02-03
Your analysis doesn't make sense. What's the point in your real goal being 'getting your opponent's reaction'? That wouldn't do anything. Your real goal would be to either pass policy, or gain more support for passing policy. If the republicans are interested in 'locking the Trump coalition', they're as much fools as the Dems were when they talked about locking the Obama coalition. Random things make non-voters come to the polls. Depending on them to be consistent is a fools game.
n/a Fucking_That_Chicken 2017-02-03
this is why millennials are bad at politics
I went over what the goal would be -- pushing people to make the mental jump from "I am willing to vote for Trump #neverHillary" to "I am on Team Trump." We know he has re-election on the mind, because he, uniquely among modern presidents, has already filed his candidacy paperwork only a couple weeks into his term.
also votes aren't "random," and happenstance and scandal doesn't really affect all that much. Political "animal spirits" are overrelied on as an excuse by analysts to make up for the fact that they've screwed up. "Some voters might vote for reasons we don't anticipate" also doesn't justify the conclusion "don't have any kind of political strategy"
