A place to share excitment, news, personal stats, tracks and anything else you care to share!

I did get the big packet! Hurray!! I have some prehospital experience but no in hospital experience and my volunteer work has been pretty limited in the last 6 months, which makes me super nervous

I haven't received the big packet yet Hoping its just because of the thanksgiving holiday! How is it?

Yep everyone does the big packet :) What track are y'all applying for? I am applying for the emergency track! I am so excited! It's gonna be a long wait until we find out about interviews!

As a medic, I can only speak for my service in saying that we ALWAYS choose feeding the patient over D50, and I know very few people who would say differently. That being said, we are almost always called after the patient is found unconscious or aft...

TraumaSurfer- I take it from previous posts that you have some personal vendetta against EMS, and I am certainly not here to start a fight, but I feel a little inclined to defend pre-hospital care providers. I feel about as comfortable letting a Para...

Sorry for the huge paragraphs, for some reason it won't format correctly on this phone.

I think that the biggest problem with the turf war between paramedics and nurses is the great degree of variability in education and training. I went through a degree paramedic program and felt like I learned much more in a month then I have learned ...

Hey Everyone, this may be a silly question, and if so, ignore it. I am a paramedic, currently in nursing school and hoping to ultimately be a flight nurse. I am pretty familiar with the steps needed and the vast amount of experience necessary to get ...

Thank you so much for the reply! I am hoping to have the EMS side covered as I have all the nice instructor certifications and I am currently working in the field. However I don't want to rush anything and I really want to be completely comfortable w...

I haven't personally, but I live in WNC and my brother has had to do clinicals there as part of his Paramedic program and absoultely loved it!

I have a major problem with shyness and not having much confidence but I know that it is something I have to work on and I think being willing to work on it and gain skills is the first step. I think whoever said fake it til you make it is completly ...

If it is really what you want, go for it!!

I like the way you think haha I am not a nurse yet, so probably shouldn't answer this, But I have volunteered and worked as an emt and at a hospital, so here is my $0.02. I don't mind kissing a little a$$, if it makes them more comfortable and helps ...

I'm sorry to hear that:( My prayers are with you and your mom.

We are having an outbreak in my county too and our health departement is giving the vaccine free.

Personally I like it when people call me honey, sweetie, darlin etc.! I HATE it when people who are older then me call me mam, unless its in a joking sort of way. Of course I was raised in the south lol. When I was getting my EMT they also told us no...

wow I have the same issue, except I'm not even in any nursing classes yet.

Hey everybody, been lurking on this site for awhile so thought I might join in:) I have always always wanted to work in the medical field, I absolutely LOVE healthcare and I recently decided that nursing is right for me. But I am really worried about...
