Yep I am nervous too. I am taking KAPLAN review next week and using my Saunders book/CD to study.

Understanding EKG's A Practical Approach

We used Mosby Paramedic books.

I'll be starting the RN-BSN bridge program in the Fall, but that probably doesn't help you any.

No she did not raise her hand and ask (during a Pharm test) "How many cc's are in a ml?"

What about Excelsior? If you are already an EMT you can get your RN that way. I know several medics who have gone that route.

Yes that is a great book. It will really open your eyes.

I am in my fourth semester out of five and I only go one day a week from 8-3, but the first year we did go more than that.

I drive an hour to school. I only go 1 day a week, as this is my second to last semester. The first semester I had to go to school 4 days a week. I have racked up 33,000 miles on my car in a year. I only drive 30 minutes for clinicals, but this is the first semester they have been this close. I have drivien up to 90 miles from home to get to a clinical. I just tell myself it is not forever.

Highlighters, mini stapler

Well for one RN's can't intubate. Paramedics can

Did you try www.salary.com ?

We have to pay for our own pinning ceremony too. We are selling t shirts and sold stethoscopes and other clinical supplies to the beginning nursing class.

I have been a Paramedic for 4 years and graduate RN school in May 2005. I have found my experience as a medic to be extremely helpful in nursing school. It has made things soooo much easier in clinicals and book knowledge. I am not entirely sure I want to work in the ER when I get done and I have considered flight nursing one day. I would probably go on for your medic instead of just the EMT-B if I were you.
