I know in some schools people run IVs on each other, which are angiocatheters, which may explain the source of it – or maybe it's just a wacky urban legend. (I'm really glad I never heard it, even...
As a former pre-med student, I get plenty of people telling me I should just go be a doctor. And maybe someday I might go be a doctor, and maybe my RN is a step along the way, but for now, those...
I've got my schedule now, actually, as of this morning -- I expected to be an alternate, but my TEAS score was actually 91% so to my complete shock I actually did get in right away. And am somehow...
I'm starting in Fall '10 too (and also very shy) -- and terrified so many people apparently already have their schedules! I want to be in the day class (read: I can not actually be in the night class,...
Even with my Danskos, my feet are killing me at the end of a shift (I work in an emergency department so there's really no sitting, ever, which might have something to do with it). Then again, I...
This has me, my MD father, my paramedic co-workers, my massage therapist boyfriend, my friend the medical student and my other friend the pre-med student/EMT all cracking up. Thank you so much; it's...

I am! I just found out a couple of hours ago -- or else, I hope it's accurate, because the school's website says I've gotten in, but I haven't gotten an actual letter. I'm not letting myself think...
You're not. My biggest problem is that while I haven't even begun nursing school yet, I'm finishing up paramedic school right now (I'm on my field/clinical time, which basically feels like having a...
Chemistry. My test was unfairly skewed toward chemistry, which I haven't taken in six years! (I think I got a 53% on the chem questions, compared to a 100% on Biology.) People just out of high school...

91.3%, and I'm still waiting to hear, but my hopes have been raised by the "99th percentile" aspect. I was expecting to fail! That test scared the crap out of
I'm also a current applicant for Fall 2010 (just got my TEAS scores this morning) and am actually sitting here wondering why I haven't heard about these CPEs -- does it stand for "clinical proficiency...
