  1. Can AMI cause acute CVA? or seizure?

    Wildschmidt posted a topic in Emergency

    So during school I've been working as an EMT, and I'm super confused about a patient I just saw. Here's the scoop: * family witnessed a sudden "fit" - briefly unresponsive, snoring, drooling,...

  2. Can AMI cause acute CVA? or seizure?

    Wildschmidt replied to Wildschmidt's topic in Emergency

    Thank you all for the input! I definitely would believe that the neuro symptoms were secondary to the heart arrhythmia. The reason we thought stroke initially was because his wife was a nurse and...

  3. Can AMI cause acute CVA? or seizure?

    Wildschmidt replied to Wildschmidt's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the info! Do you mean the "seizure" activity that the family noticed was just an electrolyte issue in the muscles, or that the electrolytes can cause actual seizure EEGs? It makes me...

  4. online microbiology class

    Wildschmidt replied to wisconsin84's topic in General Students

    Check out Edukan.org. They have microbio which is 5 credits including a lab for 625. However, some sections have only a "virtual lab" and some sections require you to find a physical lab with...

  5. How will Health care reform affect me as nurse practitioner?

    Wildschmidt replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's a good summary of the bill on the AANP website: http://www.aanp.org/NR/rdonlyres/D0BC1356-E320-420E-B9C2-D98E266DF280/3898/finalhcrsummary.pdf It's still long and complicated, but only 13...

  6. Are nurses who work in hospitals with limited resources better?

    Wildschmidt replied to zahryia's topic in General Nursing

    At our rural hospital, there are usually 1 or 2 nurses in the ER, a couple more on the floor, and a physician on call but not always present. No "teams" to do any skills - they have to get every IV...

  7. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Wildschmidt replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Chender, thanks for the info about Yale! It's a good point that the BSN from Penn might be useful, since I can imagine wanting to take time as an RN, either during or after the program. The Yale staff...

  8. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Wildschmidt replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm also choosing between Yale and Penn for FNP. I think it's going to be Penn as long as they accept my transfer credit. I really liked the campus and area and it sounds like they're usually better...

  9. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Wildschmidt replied to hellomellow's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Still nothing, and she didn't return email or phone calls today. I'm going to trust I will get it on Monday, but I'm starting to get anxious and frustrated. I need to figure out my job and lease and...

  10. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Wildschmidt replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Me too! FNP! The waiting is

  11. A faster route to FNP?

    Wildschmidt replied to michaeleo's topic in General Nursing

    It depends how much time you want to spend in schooling, but I would recommend some sort of accelerated program, given that you already have a bachelor's degree. If you go back for an ADN or BSN, not...

  12. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Wildschmidt replied to hellomellow's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I still haven't heard anything! I'm going to wait a little longer and then try to contact her directly. I don't want to be pushy but it seems like a long time to wait after already being "accepted"...

  13. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Wildschmidt replied to hellomellow's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Is anyone else still waiting to get their plan of study? I'm really excited to go to penn but I need to know if I can do the summer start. And I'm getting more anxious since I need to give notice to...

    Wildschmidt replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Just got an email saying decisions will be emailed out today!! Try to focus on your Friday work now!! Good luck to

  15. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Wildschmidt replied to hellomellow's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Whew! I have my pennplan posted with financial aid info and I'm very excited. They have an even smaller contribution than I was expecting - although they also want me to do work study. That sounds...

  16. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Wildschmidt replied to hellomellow's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I got in as well! It's wierd that we have to wait to hear about the MSN part, transfer credit, and financial aid. But yay! Also, is everyone FNP? That's what I am and anxious to hear about that piece!...

  19. University of Washington GEPN Applicants for 2010 Entry

    Wildschmidt replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Taco, Sorry to hear that you were hoping to apply to UW. At least they left you hanging while you can still apply elsewhere! In terms of getting experience, I've heard it definitely does help to...

  20. University of Washington GEPN Applicants for 2010 Entry

    Wildschmidt replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey qwerty, I'm also on the waitlist (FNP) and somewhat freaked out. However, I think the issue with new grads not being able to find jobs is mostly a concern about the direct entry NP grads, meaning...

  21. NP or MD?

    Wildschmidt replied to RNnurse07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went through a VERY similar thought process. I think if you truly want to be an MD you can - just check out "post-bac" pre med programs which are designed to walk you through the whole process and...

  22. University of Washington GEPN Applicants for 2010 Entry

    Wildschmidt replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the info! I applied to GEPN (FNP) and we didn't get any sort of ranking. It just says we meet the criteria but don't have a place at this time. I'll just hope to hear in the next month or...

  23. University of Washington GEPN Applicants for 2010 Entry

    Wildschmidt replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Waitlisted...yargh. Does anyone know when accepted people have to commit to the program? I'm wondering when we might find out about the waitlist, like is it worth it to wait or will I be in another...

  24. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    Wildschmidt replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I got an interview, but I have to do it by phone since I'm working full time that week (1/28). Is anyone else doing a phone interview? I've already seen campus but I wonder if it will negatively...

  25. University of Washington GEPN Applicants for 2010 Entry

    Wildschmidt replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been traveling but my roommate says I haven't gotten a letter yet! Could be because I live in the middle of nowhere, but I'm still nervous. I'm also glad I applied other places, since UW raised...
