  2. Class question at wallace state

    bamagt replied to meikee02's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Would you say Wallace is harder than your other school? Also, if I may ask what school did you attend before Wallace? I ask b/c a girl at work failed Wallace twice and she says that I would never make...

  3. I need advice...

    bamagt replied to jlee782's topic in General Nursing

  5. Trauma Naked?

    bamagt replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    This dude has a legit argument. I agree completely with cutting your clothes off in a trauma situation. I understand being naked for a few minutes while you are being assessed. The point is you can...

  6. Trauma Naked?

    bamagt replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Weird thing is I was in a bad car wreck 2 years ago and I was stripped completely naked like this too. I don't remember anything but I'll be working with all of these same people soon, doing my...

    bamagt replied to dream2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't taken it yet but I know two people: one who passed with 75 questions and another that failed at 78 questions. From what I've heard the less questions the more likely you passed but from the...

  8. Spring 09 @ Jeff State Applications

    bamagt replied to bebe123's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Generally, you're right, you did need more than 180 points but most of the time 180 will get you in. If you have more than 185 why are you panicking!? You're

  9. Spring 09 @ Jeff State Applications

    bamagt replied to bebe123's topic in Alabama Nursing

    It's pretty easy: how many points do you have? If you have less than 180 you may not make it in. If you have more than 180 you're

    bamagt replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 4th semester and all I can say is, it gets so much easier. When I started my 1st semester I was recovering from a pretty bad car wreck. I had multiple broken bones and head trauma- I...

    bamagt replied to keno138's topic in General Nursing

    You don't go to Jeff State in Alabama do you!? I swear I know exactly who you're talking about. This teacher tried to tell me that to diagnose a PE they would do a heart cath! ***!? I tried to tell...

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the smartest post yet on this thread. I completely agree with what you're saying and maybe I did use the wrong approach in addressing my opinion but at the same time I don't appreciate...

  16. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    You must not be able to read. Someone already pointed that out. Another question: Am I not entitled to my own opinion? IMO I think med-surg is boring and not for

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    Aw man... I've been a PCT for 3 years and I'm about to graduate from nursing school. I don't think it sounds like I'm full of myself but if it does to you then so be it. I do think the ER gives you...

  21. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying that med-surg makes you less of a nurse. I'm trying to ask a question as to why someone needs med-surg before they start on their before they start to work somewhere else. I just don't...

    bamagt replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    bamagt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions. I've worked as a PCT in a level 3 ER for almost 3 years now. We rarely if ever get anything near trauma, we do get MI's, CVA's, codes... stuff like that...
