Asklemmy

this happens in Germany. I know our healthcare systems are different but there are way more north American members on lemmy than German ones. I'm simply listening to points of view. What a physician assistant does is fairly the same in both countries.

As said, I'm a nurse working bedside and I don't plan to this sometimes sh*tjob for the rest of my life. I don't like dealing with my coworker's petty problems and their need to talk and criticize people behind their backs.

Reasons to study PA are I'm cerebral and prefer to read and learn than to talk, I like knowing my medicines and therapies, interpreting EKGs, explaining to patients what they should and shouldn't do, checking labor parameters to decide if we have to increase or decrease an antibiotic... I don't want to work bedside with a growing old, overweight and demented patient population (already punched twice and proposed to have sex 2 times as well). I don't want to be ridiculed by my coworkers each time I open a book to read about medicine simply because I want to know more.

Doctors where I am are usually mature coworkers. I don't mean all doctors are grown ups (they are not) but there are more grown ups among the doctors than among the nurses: nurses I work with love to talk about sex and tiktok and going to smoke whereas doctors usually talk about patients and therapies, at least most of them when I hear them.

Overall doctors seem to be less chatty with less drama and more professional, more grown up.

I know that as a PA I'm not a doctor and I'd only earn EUR 300 per month more than now as a nurse and I'm still thinking if it pays to study 3 years to earn just a bit more, not really much more but hopefully work with grown ups.

This is not something I'd pay myself but I'd have to find a hospital that offers a bachelor as a PA as a so called Duales Studium where you work 50% and study the other 50% but you still receive your normal salary, but for this I'd have to move 200 km south.

If you're a PA or plan to become one, am I being naive? Is there really less drama?

Do you regret it?

I am making a Public repo for the first time. It's not mutch , just a script to setup a podman container. But i am afraid of people messing up their devices and blaming me 😅. Do you guys think i should put a disclaimer in the main page of the repo? If yes, what kind of disclaimer should i use? I've never really dived into the legal side of things.

Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I'm not going to play DRM-controlled games

For me it was the fact that I would always be slower than everyone else and I would have to put in twice the effort.

A couple weeks ago, I deleted social media off my phone. Insta and reddit was all that was left, but I noticed how much of a useless time sink they were becoming. My daily mood has also improved.

Now, I've been reading manga and playing chess online to fill the gap. But I'm still looking for suggestions on what else there is to do besides doom scroll. It's not like I'm outlawing the internet entirely, I still have interests and hobbies etc, but I'm open to just about anything.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I need more general recommendations.

When the automatisms you acquired during your job are invading your private life.

When i was an intern in a big store, i had to fight against the reflex of storing the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

I never updated my email and now i always get a notification asking if my Skiff email is current but as we know, Skiff no longer does email.

I can't update it without first verifying my Skiff email.

I can't delete my LinkedIn account without first verifying my email.

I don't want to submit a photo of my ID.

Is there another way?

As the title suggests, now that more people are moving from Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and whatnot towards platforms on Fediverse and Bluesky, will that not create an even bigger split between political views? Most people who are not afraid of big tech and its influence will probably stay there.

We were already not always able to communicate and discuss certain topics as normal human beings, but now we probably won't even see each other's posts.

What do you think?

I don't have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn't choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to "hear" music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn't even be upgraded hearing or anything.

So do y'all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?

I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one's than Eternity without me knowing

It seems that whenever you look for one, you lose the other. If you seek labor freedom, you lose economic security, and vice versa. States "promise" more security in exchange for citizen freedom. It is very difficult for me to find an instance in life in which security and freedom can fully and frictionlessly coexist.

Is it just me or is that how it goes?

Came across a list of pseudosciences and was fun seeing where im woo woo.

Lunar effect – the belief that the full Moon influences human and animal behavior.

Ley Lines

Accupressure/puncture

Ayurveda

Body Memory

Faith healing

Anyway, list too long to read. I guess Im quite the nonscientific woowoomancer. How about you? What pseudoscience do you believe? Also I believe nearly every stone i find was an ancient indian stone. Also manifesting and or prayer to manipulate via subconscious aligning the future. oh and the ability to subconsciously deeply understand animals, know the future, etc

I'd really like to study genetic engineering because I find it a cool skill. But at the same time, job positions for genetic engineers are few and far inbetween. So while I'd potentially be good at something few people can do (=high paying). If I studied something like law, I'd be much more flexible geographiclally in terms of finding employment. So I'm wondering whether to aspire to a more common career and take GE as a hobby that I'm studying, or if I should double down on GE and work in a café until I find a job in that. (I might decide I want to pivot away from GE once I learn it anyway.) What do you recomend?

Basically I have a shower with a big glass pane and I was in bed and heard a massive crash and went to look thinking someone might be breaking in but no the shower glass pane shattered itself and nothing can fall on it or anything. So I’m so confused. Any ideas?

And before anyone jumps to anything paranormal I’m sceptical of that type of stuff.

I’ve embarked on a journey to discover more about fertility assistance, tests, procedures etc. and found myself in a sea of rather poor blog posts (all seo optimised of course..) merely scratching the surface and calling to action of speaking with the clinic who published the post in question.

Does anyone have any comprehensive treasure troves of data on these topics to recommend?

Thank you!

With the enshittification of all-things-Google, a lot of us have left Chromium-based browsers for Firefox. But still, over the last 15 years, Firefox has gone from 30%+ market share to about 6% now.

With the big backlash against them over the last week, I've seen a number of people advocating for Librewolf and Waterfox -- Firefox forks focused on security and privacy -- but if Firefox loses what little revenue it has left, what will become of the forks if Firefox dies?

PM me a username and password please??

I can't create one anonymously any more.

Many thanks.

(Is there a comm for this sort of account-sharing?)
