Hey guys, new to the forum so I'll drop an introduction in that part of the forum when I get home from work since I'm half an hour away from that. Basically, my situation is probably about the same as 95% of every other pre-medical student out there...

Hmm, if that many people have trouble with math I'm wondering whether I should do math tutoring at the college...especially once I finish my next algebra class I'd be able to tutor intermediate algebra and below. It seemed really easy to me so I'm wo...

Yeah that must be it, I'm going to a community college right now...blech. Talk about a difference in price. Well good luck!

And here I was complaining about $250.00 for books and $400.00 for tuition for four classes...I need to shut my mouth, eesh! That's expensive.

After reading all these posts I can't help but agree with something my EMT friend Paul said, since he's planning to go into nursing himself. I mentioned all the negative stuff I've heard and showed him this thread, and his response was that the large...

That's ridiculous for him to do that. I don't know how it is for the rest of you guys but it's "at will" employment here in California but that doesn't mean that they can fire you for anything. The only time an employer can do that and get away with ...

I think any state/government ran college like a state university or community college has a work study program of some sort don't they? It's a federal program so I would imagine they do...

Intermediate Algebra Reading & Composition General Psychology U.S. History II Introduction to Art A whole lot of general ed.

I dunno, I'm honestly actually bored, lol. I can't wait to go back to school just so I have something to do...kind of sad, especially since I /know/ im going to be wishing I did have some sort of break once I'm in medical school. Oh well, you don't a...

I can definitely agree with everyone that anxiety or indecision is unique to nursing students or abnormal, I think from all walks of life people are going to deal with that since it's uncertainty of change that always makes someone pause before they ...

This has actually reminded me to ask this question now that I'm reading over this thread. It sounds like it won't be nearly as bad as shell shock as it might be in other states since I live in California, but if I did decide to do nursing, how bad ar...

General Biology - A Economics - A US History - A Basic Algebra - A Hopefully next semester I won't have so much free time leftover on my hands after work since im going to be taking more gen ed then I did this time....next semester is gonna be interm...

Yeah I tried calling the school today but with all the holiday stuff I don't know if I'll get an answer until the next semester starts. Generally the people at my college don't know anything at all anyways. My college has some good teachers and it's ...

Considering some recent discussions and behavior I've seen from other pre-meds, I'm looking at some other options since right now like I said before is the best time to do it because I'm just doing general education. I decided I'm going to take the E...

thanks for looking it up day, yeah i visited the nremt web site but couldn't exactly find what i was looking for. it sounds like my friend needs to be more specific on finding a nationally certified course versus a county certified one...it's startin...

Oh this is so confusing, agghhh!! Is anyone here presently or formerly an EMT who could help me out on this? I'm trying to find out if the EMT course at my college qualifies as a "real" one as my friend in southern Cali told me to look for, because h...

Right on, that sounds encouraging! The only thing I'm wondering about is the EMT basic course at the local college is state certified but I noticed that AMR only hires nationally certified EMTs, and I'm not sure if the EMT basic course here is nation...

I can't agree with this more, since I'm kind of from the same background to an extent. Anyone who has trouble with math just needs to work the problems until they make sense....getting the correct answer to a math problem isn't the key to learning ma...

Ok, thanks for all the responses and dropping the links guys, I'll check them out tomorrow since I'm about to go to sleep. :)

I'm not sure? Would they call the specialty flight nurse even if it was for a regular ambulance and not an air ambulance? I wouldn't mind getting some information on being a flight nurse, but I think it may be something different, I'm not the RN tho...

I couldn't agree with this more. I've looked at UCLA, UCSD, Irvine and Davis as well as CSU Chico, Long Beach & Fullerton. The CSUs aren't too strict on transfers so that tells me that their more accepting of freshman but the UCs are a whole diff...

Hey Tiny, I just read this so I'm sure it's probably a little late since you take the test tomorrow, but I just finished an algebra refresher course so I'd be more then happy to help ya brush up on some math if you want before you take your test. Goo...

Happy birthday! I wouldn't worry too much, pretty much everything on TV and in movies is overdramatizied, exagerrated, or flat out inaccurate. There's going to be bad apples in everything, but because they are specifically called bad apples obviously...

Hey guys, new to the forum so I'll drop an introduction in that part of the forum when I get home from work since I'm half an hour away from that. Basically, my situation is probably about the same as 95% of every other pre-medical student out there...

Thanks Arcie, I'll check it out since I'm on break right now anyways. :) yeah the BB gun thing did prove that I could easily handle blood, but man, lol....oh well, I have to laugh at myself for that cause that was just really retarded. To check the C...
