1. Is earwax removal an emergency?

   KatMill2312 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

   I just want to put my 2 cents in as an EMT-B and nursing student (insert groans, it's ok I accept)! One of the most impactful things my EMS instructors ever said to me was: it's not MY emergency. That simple. I've practiced that way as an EMT an...

2. Advice for my first semester please

   KatMill2312 replied to kristinn239's topic in General Students

   Hi Kristinn239! I'm starting nursing school in like 3 weeks (í ¾í´¤) I, like you, have been a SAHM for a long time. My kids are 9, 6 and almost 3 year old twins. It's kind of terrifying gong back to school AND doing all the mom stuff, BUT that's ...

3. Your impression of a nurse working on an ambulance

   KatMill2312 replied to ClayH's topic in General Nursing

   Ah, the joys of the "nurses vs EMS." Welcome to the world of EMS, as a PP put it. I start my nursing program in August and I have been told by countless people "DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU'RE AN EMT!!" It is simply based on this stupid idea that nurses and...

4. Female Stressing hard about being EMT

   KatMill2312 replied to JennaBadger's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is ridiculous. I am a female EMT and I would consider myself to have the personality traits you listed: silly, happy go lucky, etc. Now, I AM competitive but I don't think that is a male trait nor one required for EMS or medicine in general. I...

   Yes! Congrats to you as well, I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier my brain is in overdrive! I agree that we should try and meet up, maybe before bootcamp? For coffee or something? I also have no idea what bootcamp is! Lol. My name is Katrina, nice ...

   KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree Parah that they probably let everyone know at the same time. I didn't even think og spring break but that might have had something to do with it. I actually called Thursday, and there is 1 lady that they refer you to and she's only in Mon -...

   KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nope. I've heard nothing. I even emailed to make sure they got my application (they did). I've been nervous since I applied so....idk. I wish they'd get back to us! You heard back April 5th last year?! Hmmmm, I wonder why it's taking so much longe...

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I hear you! I am checking my email WAY too much lol. Expecting anything this first week was probably silly, but one can hope! I would like to think the scores we have are competitive enough, but we just won't know until the cohort info comes out. ...

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Idk if my score makes me feel better or worse lol! Did whoever you were talking to happen to mention when we should hear back about acceptance/rejection? When are you guys moving out here?

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am taking A&PII now, I didn't think I could do the accelerated course with both 1 and 2 last semester since I was also taking micro and a math class and... gah I don't even remember what the other one wall! My teacher last semester was Wolfe, ...

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow! Great job on the HESI and your grades AND getting everything in on time! I really hope we both get in too! I don't feel like I did well enough on the HESI (87.5) bit hopefully! I'm really hoping they start sending letters out the first week of ...

    Congrats to everyone who got into their programs! This is the last week my program has for people to turn in their applications, so....I'm still waiting. We should hear sometime in April í ½í¸“. My school does a point system too based on GPA, HESI,...

15. How to survive Pre-nursing

    KatMill2312 replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Like previous posters have suggested letting us in on what exactly you are struggling with would be helpful: specific classes? Length of time it takes to complete pre-req work? Applying for nursing programs? Rejection/denials? I'll just say as a bro...
