  1. suspicious looking bump for a reply... anyone? see, I told you there weren't any!
  2. I just want the class, not a nursing program. I need a job while going to nursing or paramedic school. I have previous experience with telemetry (it's been 6 yrs) but no certification. Any leads?

  5. evening program at sac city college???

    I've heard a rumor that Sacramento City College offers an evening RN program. A friend of mine claims his brother took it and is just finishing up... I can't find ANYTHING about it through numerous google searches and exhaustive searching. Does an...
  6. Hey, I'm looking into nursing school in either of these areas. I'm originally from Nebraska, but my family has been living with my parents for a year in CA (I know ya'll up there aren't fond of CA'ians, but I'm not really from there) while DH goes t...
  7. I'm not yet done with pre-reqs. I have about a year left of them and it's all the sciences that I've got left so I'm trying to space them out a bit. I hope to be done with them by a year from December and then start getting my apps out. If we can ...
  8. Growing Thick Skin.

    Reading through some replies, I guess some of it is what constitutes a thick skin. Is being jaded about society because of your experiences in the ER "thick skin" or is it just being disillusioned that there is good in all people or is it the sick h...
  9. Growing Thick Skin.

    I'm not an RN yet, but I was an EMT in an ER for 3 years. It totally toughened me. I agree with another poster that it had to do with the staff sometimes, rather than the job. Of course, I didn't work trauma so I'm not sure if that would have chan...
  10. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    Oh, a stove top. I think that's about the best there is. WOW! What on earth... Jen D.
  11. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    How about a Christmas tree ornament in the folds of fat underneath a breast of a lady who had been passed out in her house for several hours. It was in the middle of July in Nebraska and she had no air conditioning. Pretty nasty. These last three w...
  12. Thanks. I think there's a good chance we would consider Redding if it was possible, but my parents take care of my son so we don't really have alternate childcare (that's why we moved to this place in the first place). Jen D.
  13. Anyone willing to do a quick email interview?

    Thanks so much for all the replies. I've gotten plenty of volunteers and really appreciate your time and help. SO, someday, I'll be at this forum as a REAL nurse instead of just a wannabe nursing student. Jen D.
  14. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    As a ER tech, one thing that stood out in my mind was the guy that decided to use that Nads hair remover on his, um, nads. Major irritation down there. We sent him home with special panties from the burn unit and a salve. Then there was the inmate ...
