    megan_EMT replied to yooe's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi everyone, I was accepted today! Anyone else doing the gerontological/adult NP program? I'm so excited - I kinda want to run to the store and start looking at the white shoes. Can't wait to get to...

    megan_EMT replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Haha! I already appreciate it! I love it everytime I get carded at the liquor store (and my friends don't). My mom got carded (seriously, not as part of we id under 99) until she was 39...I'm hoping...

  5. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    megan_EMT replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Anyone else get questions about their age? I look super young and people are always asking where the adult is when I respond on EMS calls. The high school truancy officer even stopped me the other...

    megan_EMT replied to julabell's topic in First Year After Licensure

    megan_EMT replied to swtchariot's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Tannersville outlets off I-80 have a discount uniform place. Pretty good selection, and offer a bunch of different brands. Sometimes it's hard to find "traditional" sizes (non-tall/petite/plus size)...

    megan_EMT replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    Private rooms for everyone. I wish I didn't have to see an elderly person dying (literally waiting for next of kin...) sharing a room with a drunk college student. Oh, and no more need for hallway...

  12. Considering being a nurse instructor

    megan_EMT replied to bewell2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    While I'm not a Nursing Educator (yet), I am an EMT-instructor, so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. The idea of the drill sargent instructor being the best instructor is still rampant in EMS -...

  13. can anyone explain what an online course is actually like?

    megan_EMT replied to cdrcan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Has anyone ever put down your career choice?

    megan_EMT replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    megan_EMT replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might do better to look into a LPN/LVN then onto an RN bridge program, they tend to be a little more forgiving and you will still be able to get where you want to go. I have several friends who...

    megan_EMT replied to weluv3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
