   Mthom17 replied to Mthom17's topic in General Students

   I'm talking more scope of practice wise. For example, I will be taking my test to become an EMT soon. As an EMT, I may be responsible for giving orders to an EMR, or Emergency Medical Responder. I don't know much about their scope of practice except ...

2. How much do you know about other medical professions?

   Mthom17 replied to Mthom17's topic in General Students

   I feel that medical professionals sound at least be familiar with the tools of people they will be in charge of or come in contact with most. So, a physician should know about the roles and scope of practice of nurses, PAs, EMS (if going to the ER), ...

3. How much do you know about other medical professions?

   Mthom17 posted a topic in General Students

   I recently read an article asking doctors how much they know about what nurses do. This got me thinking about how much (our how little) nurses know about other medical careers. For example, before I began my EMT class, I thought EMT and Paramedic wer...

   Mthom17 replied to Mthom17's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I would like to clear up a few things. First off, I am male. Just want to clear that up. Not a big deal. Second, I want to address the loan issue. I realize that I will have to take out loans, I'm not blind to it. I think it will be worth it to at...

   Can somebody give me a list of scholarships/grants that you can apply for as a pre nursing student? I visited my first choice college and decided that I don't want to be anywhere else, but it costs $37,000 a year for tuition/room and board. I found s...

7. Very concerned

   Mthom17 replied to Mthom17's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks to everyone who replied. I am worried because people at my home school say that people who go where I go now don't get into college, despite the fact that we get college credits (though my program only gets a few for CPR). Of course my old sch...

   Mthom17 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in my senior year of high school, and it just now hit me that I don't know what I'll do if I don't get accepted into nursing school. I got my transcript from my guidance counselor and am very distressed. I have a cumulative GPA of 2.73. I do not ...

   Mthom17 replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Definitely want to be an RN (and volunteer as a paramedic), but if medicine isn't for me (though I'm very sure it is), then I am looking at going into forensic science.

10. Tips for Anatomy?

    Mthom17 replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had to take A&P for EMT. It's all memorization, so be prepared to study. If you have a good teacher, you'll be forced to study because you'll have a pop quiz every couple days over different muscles. If you can, print off some pictures from on...

    Mthom17 replied to Mthom17's topic in School Programs

    Thanks! I had a tour last Friday, and it went great! I mean, I'll have to make another trip during the school year to get a feel for the people there, but it seems really nice! Since the students were (mostly) on break, I didn't get a good look at th...

    Mthom17 posted a topic in School Programs

    I am looking into nursing, and during my search I found Ursuline College just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Does anyone know anything about this place as far as a reputation goes? I'm visiting campus on Friday, but I don't think I'll get the informatio...

    I am an upcoming senior in high school, and I have no idea what I want to do. I am studying public safety at a vocational school (homeland security, EMS, etc.), and I am not sure what I want for a career. I am stuck between three career paths: doctor...
