  1. Paramedic or Pre-Hospital RN?

    mtruland replied to djd7101986's topic in Men in Nursing

    Check with your local state EMS "board" before doing anything. Some states will allow RNs to challenge the test, granting them a medic license. I was in the same boat as you a year ago. I chose...

  2. My Hair?

    mtruland posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm starting school soon, and was wondering about the qualities of my hair. I've got a mop of hair just like Josh Groban. I was wondering if it'd cause any issues with school, but they won't give me...

  3. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

    mtruland replied to jnmoore02's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have an ADC Adscope 602 cardiology stethoscope. I got it from Galls magazine, and I absolutely love it. I have no issues with it whatsoever. There is one downside in that it likes to pick up the...

  4. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    I did, yet was still unsure. I'm sure they'll loosen up after a few washes. I appreciate the help... however obvious it was...

  5. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! I just barely got my scrubs and stuff in the mail from the uniform store that handles NHTI's uniforms. Everything fits, but the labcoat is VERY uncomfortable. What are the odds that they'd let me...

  6. Paramedic to RN

    mtruland replied to ERFirefighter's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I am a student at NHTI in Concord, NH. They offer an Associates degree in either Nursing, or you can take an associates program for Paramedic. A lot of the air transport crews here around NH have...

  7. recent LPN what do I need to do to get into ER?

    mtruland replied to Buckyxj's topic in Emergency

    Having RNs is just easier. They're allowed to do much more than LPNs, and don't require the same supervision as an LPN would (from an RN). I'm in a two-year program to get my RN. After one year, they...

  8. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    Not too bad. How'd I fare? A. 4mL B. Johnny has taken 1806 mL of fluids. No water via NG tube. (That being if 8oz=236.6mL, 1pt=473.2mL, and

  9. Anyone going to NHTI, Concord?

    mtruland replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I'm looking forward to it. This summer is going to be crazy. I'm getting my NREMT-Basic license... I still have testing and practicals. I should do fine

  10. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    What is the math like? I have a book that someone gave me. It's a math for nurses book, which should help if needed. I took calc, so I should be fine. Math was never an enemy, but this math really...

  11. Anyone going to NHTI, Concord?

    mtruland replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a deal. I can't wait to get down there to start classes. Would you recommend buying a couple of sets of scrubs? I was thinking for laundry's

  12. NLN Results....

    mtruland replied to JDLAStew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my test on 4/14/07 at NHTI in Concord, NH. Percentiles are as follows: Verbal: 85 Math: 90 Science: 97 Not too bad for finding out I'm taking the test on a Thursday, and actually taking...

  13. Alright, so what school are you all going to choose?

    mtruland replied to roxxy3773's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Lancaster, NH. I'm looking at going to either Berlin, NH which is about a 40 min drive, or NHTI, where I would live in the dorms. Berlin is local, and I'd be able to stay at home with the...

  14. Anyone going to NHTI, Concord?

    mtruland replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Swtooth! I'm going to NHTI this fall, and have no clue how the sizing works. I'm interested

  15. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that's cool. I'm most likely going to be living in the dorms... Two years of that will be okay

  16. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard from someone that it was some basic stuff with the med calc as well. Where are you from Supafry? I'm from

  17. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    mtruland replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    I got into NHTI on the first time around. I registered for the NLN exams two days before the test, and they accepted me into the program. I transferred from UNH. I got at least 90% in all of my NLN...

  18. Paramedic to RN

    mtruland replied to ERFirefighter's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I've heard mixed reviews about whether or not you can actually challenge the paramedic license. I'm indeed in the same boat as you. I'm actually just barely finishing up the EMT-Basic, and will be...

  19. recent LPN what do I need to do to get into ER?

    mtruland replied to Buckyxj's topic in Emergency

    As far as I know, here in Northern NH most of the ER postions are covered by RN staff with critical care certifications. It's not that they don't want to use LPNs and such, it's that the nurses here...

  20. ADN is fine?

    mtruland posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hello, I'm a student at UNH in Durham, NH. I am currently on a pre-nursing track to get a BSN. This is going to take me five years, as I had some trouble finding what I truly wanted to do. Through my...

  21. ADN is fine?

    mtruland replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know quite a few people with ADNs who work as flight nurses. All they needed are RN certs and all of the other ALS

  22. ADN is fine?

    mtruland replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Excellent. Thanks for the

  23. ADN is fine?

    mtruland replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I totally agree with that pricepoint. UNH, where I am not to try and get a BSN, will cost me something like 80 grand to complete. That's on top of the 20 I spent this

  24. ADN is fine?

    mtruland replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This info is really helpful. I'm working on a resolution to my problem with some help with a local guidance counselor. Thanks guys! I think I'll go for the ADN, and then get a BSN

  25. ADN is fine?

    mtruland replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for the reply. I really am up in arms about this whole situation. I really don't want to spend another 80,000 if it really isn't going to help me out that much... Thanks,
