I know its been a few months since the last post, but I just thought I would bring this back, since there are new members everyday.

Does being a EMT-B count?

I was just wondering if anyone here had any problems with Excelsior in Ky(especially eastern ky)? I was also wondering what is required to do the Excelsior Program(anything that requires you to travel, or can't be done online) I was told that you have to go to Ny, Ga,or Wi to take a CPNE test. I'm currently enrolled in my local college for Diesel Technology, but thought about a change.. Thanks, Josh

Well as of now Air Methods owns all operators in Eastern Ky, that I'm aware of. There is Lifenet Ky4 which is based in Hazard, Medflight 1 which is based at Big Sandy Regional Airport, and Medflight 2 which is based in Ashland, Statcare, and Healthnet also does alot of flights here. May I ask where you are located? I'm not for sure about expansion, but I do believe that all the aircraft are new, or only a few months old... Some are now equipped with Night Vision.

I would in no way base a career on how easy it is to get a date, or on a TV show... But in my entire life I have probably never saw more than 5 male nurses... I didnt know how females would precieve male nurses, or resp. therapist, etc...... I wasnt meaning anything by it. I only wanted some opinions... Like I said before Eastern Ky is VERY rural... For those of you who want, look at: http://www.johnsoncountyky.com/

I wasn't trying to infer in anyway that just because your a Male and a Nurse that your not straight... A friend of mine is a Male RN, EMT-P, and is a Filght Medic/RN as well as a Medical Base Supervisor... I wouldn't base a career on attracting females, although that would be nice...... But there is alot of stereotyping where I'm from, so I just wanted some opinions.. I live in a very Rural Region of Eastern Ky, where I would estimate around 0-4 Male Nurses per a Hospital at most. Most of the guys here do Surface Coal Mining, or Underground Coal Mining, or something of that nature. But again I was in no way trying to infer, just because your a Male and a Nurse, that your not straight... For the record, I was planning on being a Flight Nurse if I go with nursing, but I have to have 5yrs of expirience....

What program are you applying for? and where at? I saw your name kyboyrn.. if its in the eastern ky region i might be able to help...

I would like to thank everyone for there answers...

I don't really know how to answer that..lol I'm 18, 6'3, 240lbs., brown hair, green eyes, and not to brag but 17in. biceps..lol

I'm also a Vol. FF, and Rescue Squad Member....

This is just something I've been wondering, I'm not in no way trying to offend anyone... Im obvisouly a male, and I'am straight... I just graduated high school, and I'm considering my college options, which do include Respiratory Therapist, RN, Diesel Technology, Welding, and a few more... Would you(Female Nurses) rather date someone in the Medical Field(Male RN, Resp. Therapy, etc....) or someone in another career field? Most people will probably think this is a crazy question.... But like I said this is just a question that I've been thinking about, and I'm not trying to offend anyone in anyway...

Just wondering can you direct me as to where it says anything about RT to RN... I have looked all over the page and I cant find anything.... Any help is appreciated... Also can you tell me what its like to be a RT? Thanks, Josh

Does anyone have the link for the Excelsior RT to RN Program?

Just wondering if anyone else has used this steth or the CD-25? I found them on EBay for $23.95 + Shipping....

Just wondering if anyone uses or has used a Kila Stethoscope from http://www.kila.com/? If so are they worth the money? What are the advantages, and disadvantages?
