  1. Would EMT B help me land an er tech job?

    In my area, ER techs are almost exclusively EMTs, and I feel that as an EMT (especially with additional IV/EKG cert) you are in a much better position to get an ER tech
  2. Am I selfish for going back to school?

    Another thing to consider is how much/little time you are capable/willing to spend (or not spend) with your teenagers while you are in nursing school. If you go for an accelerated program, it will be...
  3. IV Sites

    I too have never heard of a "formal list". You can pretty much stick a person (literally) from head to foot, wherever you can find a decent vein and however bad the need for IV access is. Then there...
  4. Back to the drawing board...again!

    Google "tattoo cover-up sleeves" - maybe that will help
  5. Don't know what to do......

    What you can do as an EMT in a hospital setting will also depend on your facility/area. In my area, EMTs who work as techs in EDs can start IVs, do 12-lead EKGs, can in some facilities do foleys,...
  6. Anything is possible, the question is what YOU can handle. You have to find out how much you can work during your school program while still being successful at school and staying healthy. And yes, it...
  7. UNC Summer 2011

    Congratulations, glad the wait is finally over for
  8. Nursing schools in the Denver area?

    We have several community colleges that offer ADN degrees (e.g. Arapahoe Community College) but many of them have waitlists or are currently working off their waitlists before accepting applications....
  9. Check with the school you want to apply to. The schools I applied to looked at the overall GPA of all classes ever taken, regardless of subject matter, as one of the criteria determining
  10. Bilingual New Grad

    County Health Departments also have clinics that can always use bilingual speakers so don't overlook
  11. You're welcome
  12. Ally1833, I sent you a private
  13. Any other Regis alternates out there?

    Don't give up hope just yet. There are many alternates that were accepted into our cohort at Regis, and notifications went out until the week before program
  14. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    Like others said, there is also the neutral-polite medium where the other person is neither interested in becoming best buddies nor in starting a life-long feud. In this kind of interaction, people...
  15. CCCONLINE.org

    I had similar concerns but this is a regionally accredited online system that pools students from all Colorado State Community Colleges. The reason why these courses meet prerequisite requirements is...
  16. pre reqs

    I applied to second-degree accelerated BSN programs and got my prerequisites done in 1 year. I took classes at different schools simultaneously so I had blocks, quarter, and semester courses at the...
  17. well it is official,,,I am the

    Take a deep breath, and then start at the beginning. Make sure you are smart about your planning for the next years. Look now into all the nursing schools you want to apply to and into what...
  18. another dumb question..lol

    In general, nursing school admission is either based on waiting lists or competitive entry. Both require that you have fulfilled/are currently fulfilling your prerequisites. There are a few schools...
  19. Metro Accelerated BSN

    I received it last year as an email first (doc attachment) and then the same document as a hardcopy letter a few days
  20. Business. It is your job interview (in a
  21. About to start NS...but unhappy with my school

    The point is though that nursing schools do not have to ask. It is common at nursing schools to be put on academic probation if a student falls below passing grade. Competition for nursing school...
  22. Regis- Interview process?

    It'll depend how many interview rounds they have. Were you applying for the January program? They take a bigger group in the Jan vs the May Cohort, so they might have a few rounds of interviews before...
  23. I Think I am NOT Going to NS

    There are more and more programs out there that have competitive entries (meaning no waiting list) and that are professional and accredited. Consider the exit exam a trial run for the NCLEX (which you...
  24. I had to have both but if I had a choice, I'd say college algebra over statistics at any time. You get more out of a solid algebra knowledge than statistics for most day-to-day
