gibt es Bereiche, wo es zu erwarten ist, wo es normalisierter ist, als in anderen?

wie kann ich mich dagegen schützen?

Ich bin Pflegekraft und wo ich bin, unbezahlte Überstunden sind komplett normalisiert: Manche Mitarbeiterinnen machen 'nur' 20 Minuten, aber manche bleiben 3 Stunden nach dem Dienst und arbeiten für den Krankenhaus ehrenamtlich und sie haben kein Problem dafür. Ich bin der einzige, der so zickig ist, mit der Bezahlung.

Was mich auch beeindruckt hat sind die Ärzten: heute habe ich mit 2 gesprochen, die sagten, sie machen in der Regel bis 2 unbezahlte Überstunden pro Tag. Was für ein Leben ist das? Und wozu mach man das? Wie hat man eine Familie mit solchen Erwartungen? Und wie überlebt man dieses Gefühl, täglich ausgebeutet zu werden?

Was sehe ich nicht?

Ich weiß nicht, ob diese Ärzten lügen, es ist einfach, was sie mir sagten.

Um mich zu schützen könnte ich mich ab und zu krank melden und so die unbezahlte Stunden bezahlt haben, was lächerlich ist aber, was soll ich denn machen?

Die Mehrheit der Menschen machen das nicht, nehme ich an, oder? Gibt es Nachteile für mich, wenn ich sowas mache?

Die Zeit, die ich arbeite, will ich bezahlt haben. Meine Überstunden will ich bezahlt haben. Ist diese eine komische Idee für die Deutschen?

staatliches Krankenhaus, übrigens.

Sofortbonusfrage. Falle? (feddit.org)

Da mein Stromanbieter die Preise erhöht bin ich auf der Suche nach einem neuen.

Bei mir ist laut check24 Octopus die güngstigste Wahl, auch ohne Sofortbonus (89 EUR).

Bei die Webseite von octopus wird nirgendswo was über ein Sofortbonus gesagt.

Warum Sofortbonus anbieten, wenn Octopus nach günstigsten Preis sowieso ganz oben steht?

Was habe ich nicht verstanden?

does it pay to become a physician assistant if you're a nurse already? by schneewiese in c/[email protected]

We also have bachelor’s programs for nursing that’s essentially an administrative add-on to RN training, with some other advanced nursing training as well.

do these nurses remain at bedside after finishing the bachelor?

But as far as the kind of patient you’d deal with, nobody can completely avoid aging patients, and trying to only see non overweight patients is both iffy and weird.

I don't have a problem seeing and giving advice to the ageing patient, his DPA (durable power of attorney) or to an overweight patient. What I have a problem with is washing and moving the overweight patient that's more dead weight than anything else, because I don't know how ratios are where you work at, but where I am most of the times I have to do that alone. And then I'm the one taking ibuprofen or calling in sick because my back hurts.

Something similar happens with dementia patients: doctors have it easy because they enter the orders for antipsychotics and neuroleptics but don't get to be punched, repeatedly insulted or sexually assaulted by the demented patient.

And this is something I don't want to happen to me regularly. I can work as a PA with demented patients, not as a nurse.

you’re only naive if you think you can escape drama lol

now at least I know what kind of stupid nonsense awaits me if I do this.

thanks for posting.

You can expect different drama, maybe not less. I can’t say what specifically would be the case in Germany. In the US it’s mostly about balancing patient care with paperwork, and battling insurance companies.

I think this is a drama I can live with. What I meant with drama is gossip among the nurses: who had sex with whom, who has how many children, who said what about somebody else... something I hate with a burning passion.

Maybe I'm naive? I still find this bureaucratic drama easier to survive than my current coworkers.

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?
