Thanks, ExcitedABSN - I appreciate the follow up. Where did you end up doing your ABSN?

Hey ExcitedABSN, thanks for the response and congrats on all A's! :) Can you clarify what order you did your classes in?

Thank everyone again for weighing in! I'm meeting with an advisor this week and registering - I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Thank you everyone for weighing in and for the detailed responses! So many incredible tips here. Super grateful for the advice!

I am about to start my prerequisites this fall and I would love your suggestions on how to line up these classes over the next 3 semesters. I'm fortunate in that the university where I'm completing prereq's offers these courses every semester so I have some flexibility in setting things up. Also, I already have my BA but am heading back to school for the first time in... awhile :) so I want to ease in and, of course, do awesome. What do you recommend taking during the same semester as A&P 1? A&P II? Any classes the you found really helpful to take together? Any you would absolutely avoid taking during the same semester? These are the courses I need to complete: A&P I A&P II Intro Biology Intro Microbiology Intro Chemistry Intro Nutrition Statistics I'd love to hear you stories and get your advice. Thank you in advance!

Former flight attendant here for a major US airline. I have dealt with many an emergency in the air alongside many nurses, docs and EMTs that came forward to help. When you offer to help at 32,000 feet, you're protected by the Good Samaritan law. My airline actually had a card, with all the legalese on that protection, that we could provide incase this question came up. But it never did, people just spring into action. At my airline, and I imagine most other major US carriers, we contracted with a company called StatMD that kept MDs, familiar with flight medicine, on call. They direct all care and they assume full legal responsibility for the patient. Domestically, you're talking to a doctor within a minute of calling. Every time I've had a medical onboard, I was so grateful for volunteers. And so were the families. You don't have to volunteer, but if you do, know it's appreciated! And not that we do any of this for the miles, but many airlines will "thank you" with some miles for your assistance.
