   Will my EMT experience help get a job as an ER-Nurse?

   Medic2RN replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

   Hi SOCAL! Here's my 2 cents if you're interested. I would definitely list your EMT-B experience. It shows you have prior knowledge of emergency situations and assessment skills. I would only recommend becoming a Paramedic if you are going spend some...

   What is the drug of choice in your area?

   Medic2RN replied to Momma1RN's topic in Emergency

   Lots and lots of meth, opiates, then ETOH. Marijuana isn't even considered a drug anymore around here. Did I say meth? So tired of meth!

   Second Career Nurse Roll Call

   Medic2RN replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

   After graduating college with a BA in psychology, I couldn't find a decent paying job, so I got a position as a flight attendant. I figured if I was going to work a low paying job, I might as well travel the world while waiting for the recession to e...

   Paramedic School before i start my BSN?

   Medic2RN replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

   SoCal, First of all, best wishes for your goals and waiting to hear from nursing schools. I don't think any type of education is waste, but you need to keep in mind what your end goal is - to become a NP in the ED. If you look at all the paramedic nu...

    You should have received a degree plan with the semesters marked. I did when I was accepted there. Do you have other general courses to do? I would talk to your adviser and explore other options of taking the gen ed courses somewhere else (comm colle...
