  1. tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    I guess I can count myself as lucky that I haven't run into this tension you all refer to....or the EMT's being rude to patients or family. We are a rural community with 32 volunteer EMT's and I can tell you that each and everyone of us is dedicated...
  2. Is there an ambu bag in your office?

    I just wanted to add that if your EMS providers run only basic EMT's, they will not be doing IV's at all. So the IV supplies are a good idea, even if it's just to put in a lock so it's available at the ER when the patient arrives. We had all the thi...
  3. Who will be starting DCN this summer/fall?

    Hi Jackie, The deadline for summer is past, and all the spots are full. You may still be able to get in for the fall semester, which I believe starts in Sept? I would call the school and talk with Erin Kelly. She is wonderful and could help you wi...
  4. HI, Thanks for the great responses. Amy, you sound WELL on your way! I think you'll save a bundle of $ on tuition between what you have to transfer, and your local college. I'm really hoping to do the same. Our local college is $46 a credit, whic...
  5. I'm wondering if you took any other classes above what was on the course list for each semester? I'm going to be doing Micro, Bio, and could also take nutrition locally starting in May, along with the first round of DCN classes. Do you know if DCN a...
  6. We should be sure to chat to keep up on how it's all going! Lisa :)
  7. From what I've been reading and hearing alot from DCN and it's students, are that DCN is pretty agreeable to letting us do courses elsewhere as long as the content is similar. I'm already looking into doing Micro,chem, A&P 1-2, nutrition and a c...
  8. I didn't do anything special. I just submited my app and I had written a letter on why I wanted to be accepted. I already have an AAS degree with a 3.8 GPA, so I think that might have helped. I bet you'll get in for fall. Don't give up hope. I al...
  9. Deaconess Question? How many Sessions?

    So, does that put those of us who are starting in May, and choose to work straight through the summer sessions, set to graduate May 2006? I thought if we did the summer session, grad would be Jan 2006. I plan to go straight through without stopping...
  10. Medical Assistants in the office

    I just wanted to reply and state that the public does care who takes care of them. I am a CMA and have been for 8 years now, and there have been many instances in which patients have questioned my credentials...mostly because many people don't know ...
  11. Deaconess Question? How many Sessions?

    I didn't realize that the summer spots were only for people with previouse degrees. I just found out I got in for May, and I do have an AAS degree already. I knew that there were only 20 spots, though, so I didn't figure I'd get in with all the app...
  12. I can't believe that after 6 years of being on the waiting list at my local college, I am FINALLY going to nursing school! I tried not to get my hopes up, but now I am so excited! I got my acceptance letter 2 days ago, and was afraid to open it. I...
  13. Medical Assistants in the office

    We also have to remember that we are chosing to be in the profession that we are in. Once there, we can move around, go back to school, stay where we are at, etc. There should be respect across the professions, and I do have my own very strong feel...
  14. Deaconess Selection Process

    I'll be HOLDING my breath to hear wether or not I get in! This is where I'm hoping my 8 years of past expereince help me, but I know it may not. I just want to get started. If not this time, maybe I'll ahve to apply again. Keepin' fingers crossed....
  15. Deaconess School

    After each clinical semester, you will have to go, as I posted above. I'm not sure if there are exceptions to this or not. :-) Lisa
