  1. Any Deaconess students out there?

    ImaEMT posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've just applied to the Deaconess online program and would love to hear from any other students who have experience with this school. Thanks

  2. I was accEPTED TO DCN for MAY! Happy dance, happy dance!

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I can't believe that after 6 years of being on the waiting list at my local college, I am FINALLY going to nursing school! I tried not to get my hopes up, but now I am so excited! I got my...

  3. tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    ImaEMT replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I can count myself as lucky that I haven't run into this tension you all refer to....or the EMT's being rude to patients or family. We are a rural community with 32 volunteer EMT's and I can...

  4. Who will be starting DCN this summer/fall?

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    We should be sure to chat to keep up on how it's all going! Lisa

  5. Is there an ambu bag in your office?

    ImaEMT replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I just wanted to add that if your EMS providers run only basic EMT's, they will not be doing IV's at all. So the IV supplies are a good idea, even if it's just to put in a lock so it's available at...

  6. Who will be starting DCN this summer/fall?

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Jackie, The deadline for summer is past, and all the spots are full. You may still be able to get in for the fall semester, which I believe starts in Sept? I would call the school and talk with...

  7. Current DCN students, did you take classes ahead of time?

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm wondering if you took any other classes above what was on the course list for each semester? I'm going to be doing Micro, Bio, and could also take nutrition locally starting in May, along with...

  8. Current DCN students, did you take classes ahead of time?

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    HI, Thanks for the great responses. Amy, you sound WELL on your way! I think you'll save a bundle of $ on tuition between what you have to transfer, and your local college. I'm really hoping to do...

  9. I think it is possible to save $ with DCN's tuition.

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    From what I've been reading and hearing alot from DCN and it's students, are that DCN is pretty agreeable to letting us do courses elsewhere as long as the content is similar. I'm already looking...

  10. I was accEPTED TO DCN for MAY! Happy dance, happy dance!

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't do anything special. I just submited my app and I had written a letter on why I wanted to be accepted. I already have an AAS degree with a 3.8 GPA, so I think that might have helped. I bet...

  11. Deaconess Question? How many Sessions?

    ImaEMT replied to fry.girl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So, does that put those of us who are starting in May, and choose to work straight through the summer sessions, set to graduate May 2006? I thought if we did the summer session, grad would be Jan...

  12. Medical Assistants in the office

    ImaEMT replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I just wanted to reply and state that the public does care who takes care of them. I am a CMA and have been for 8 years now, and there have been many instances in which patients have questioned my...

  13. Deaconess Question? How many Sessions?

    ImaEMT replied to fry.girl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't realize that the summer spots were only for people with previouse degrees. I just found out I got in for May, and I do have an AAS degree already. I knew that there were only 20 spots,...

  14. Co-workers think I'm crazy for doing this

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was trying to keep my application to Deaconess a secret at work for a while, but today one of my coworkers mistakenly read an email I received from the admissions office at Deaconess, and she...

  15. Medical Assistants in the office

    ImaEMT replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    We also have to remember that we are chosing to be in the profession that we are in. Once there, we can move around, go back to school, stay where we are at, etc. There should be respect across the...

  16. Deaconess Selection Process

    ImaEMT replied to sierranic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'll be HOLDING my breath to hear wether or not I get in! This is where I'm hoping my 8 years of past expereince help me, but I know it may not. I just want to get started. If not this time, maybe...

  17. Deaconess School

    ImaEMT replied to omsnurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    After each clinical semester, you will have to go, as I posted above. I'm not sure if there are exceptions to this or not. :-)

  18. Deaconess Selection Process

    ImaEMT replied to sierranic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They do have a GPA requirement, I think. I remember this from when I applied. I am hoping to get in for summer semester, but am still waiting for my transcripts to get sent to DCN. The deadline for...

  19. Relactation? Is it possible?

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have any of you had experience with or advised patients on relactation after a break in breastfeeding? Wondering if it's possible to start breastfeeding again after a 10 week break, with milk supply...

  20. Relactation? Is it possible?

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No Guilt? That's one emotion I learned ALOT about since becoming a Mom ! LOL:eek: I'm selfish in my deisre to nurse her again. I miss the bonding of it! Nursing didn't go well with my first child...

  21. Relactation? Is it possible?

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the advice. We had trouble with my 4 year old wanting constant attention after Hannah was born, and her greatly interferred with nursing. I became so frustrated with the constant...

  22. Co-workers think I'm crazy for doing this

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm waiting for formal accpetance, but the advisor said I could start this summer. I'm hoping that many of my clsses transfer from my associate of science ( A&P, pharmacology, etc) and my...

  23. Co-workers think I'm crazy for doing this

    ImaEMT replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I wasn't too worried about the accredation issue, as the person at the school already told me it was. It never hurts to double ckeck, though, especially before putting out as much $ as DCN will...

  24. Do you think I should start now for Deaconess?

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm wondering if I should get started now on the required microbiology and chemistry for the Deaconess program? It looks like there is a start date of May for CConline bio and chem, and I'm wondering...

  25. Ok, Deaconness or Excelsior? Advice??

    ImaEMT posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I researched Excelsior extensively 2 years ago, but did not apply because of the CPNE at the end of the course. It scares me to think that I wouldn't pass it and then be out all that time and money,...
