  4. Rush GEM Summer 2014

    I'll be at the GEM First Look. And I got the instructions to schedule the interview at the same time as I got the invitation to the GEM First Look. I have no idea about the interviews for Summer vs. Fall. Are you guys both applying for Fall?

  6. Rush GEM Summer 2014

    Anyone else applying for the Rush GEM Summer 2014 cohort? It's been a long road of prereqs to get here, hasn't it? I, for one, am very excited. And hopeful. Only time will tell. Drop a line to commiserate, at your convenience. Good luck, all!
  7. How do you deal after a code?

    Honestly, I love the codes, too. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do career-wise to always be involved in traumas. (How does one get on the code team, btw? Who is on the code team?) But I think after that unexpected code I was just unprepared ...
  8. How long did it take your body to adjust working 3rd shift?

    I'm wondering the same thing. It works better for my class schedule, but I barely knew when to eat/sleep on second shift. If anyone has any suggestions on how to cope on third, I'm all ears!

  10. How do you deal after a code?

    So today was my first "true code." I've seen several trauma patients code, and cardiac patients code, but those are somewhat expected. This patient was not expected, and it was my first time assisting in CPR. I think the physical exhaustion of doing ...
  11. Would you do it all over again?

    Thank you all for your kind responses! Lots of food for thought. :)
  12. Would you do it all over again?

    Hi all, I'm currently working as an anesthesia tech and taking (acing :)) my prereqs for nursing. My plan is to become a nurse practitioner. So my question to all you good people is--would you do it all over again? Are you happy as a nurse practition...

  14. How get past dept chair for BIO 226 at Truman?

    Yes, there's a prereq for the class that I'd like to get waived. I have some convincing arguments planned :), but I was curious if anyone had spoken to him before and had any suggestions.
  15. Hi everyone, Truman won't sign me up for BIO 226 until I talk to the department chair. Does anyone have any tips on how to approach him/what might get him to give me the okay? I haven't taken Biology since high school, where I aced it. I'm brushing u...
