1. Dealing with Codes/Serious Emergencies

   1287PennEMT replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Emergency

   Great advice from people here there's some good advice. Find the trigger, and also it wouldn't hurt getting some help discovering why it bothers you so much. Sometimes things just hit hard, sometimes too close to home. The more you see the more yo...

2. Priorities to strength my app?

   1287PennEMT posted a topic in SRNA

   I'm a current ER nurse looking to eventually go to CRNA school. I did fine in my undergrad program, but I'm pretty young and I'd probably have about 2 years of RN exp by the time I start the program, so I'm trying to do a few things to strengthen m...

   1287PennEMT replied to Sogo's topic in Men

   I was lucky enough to get a per diem job. It doesn't get benefits (very bad and costly) BUT whenever I have a break I schedule myself for a ton of work and can work 40+ hr/week on my times off, and when I'm in school I might catch a 12 hr shift on t...

7. Don't you want to be a Doctor?

   1287PennEMT replied to silentRN's topic in Men

   Ha! Glad to know I'm not the only one who uses that. Another favorite: I care about people, not my ego. A bit of a harsh generalization but... I try to take care if it's someone who could be thinking about a career in nursing, or medicine, to sit dow...
