  1. Do I need 2 stethoscopes?

    medic9872 replied to meghan91's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have two but only use one of them. I bought a littman classic ii se when I was in emt school and used it until I graduated paramedic school and bought a littman cardiology iii. It's the one I used...

    medic9872 replied to keakin6's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think they do. If you took the sat and made an a or a b in English 101 you may be able to exempt it. Sent from my iPhone using

    medic9872 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, I'm Christina. I'm a paramedic with 5 years experience in EMS and I'm very much looking forward to nursing school this fall. Still waiting for an acceptance letter though. I live in...

  4. Darton Fall 2012??

    medic9872 replied to keakin6's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They told me that your score on the a&p part is the first thing they look at, then overall score, then gpa last. I don't know of they consider your overall gpa or Darton gpa or core classes gpa....

  5. Interested in an RN to Medic Bridge Program

    medic9872 replied to jrutan's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I don't know of any bridge programs in my state (ga) but most paramedic programs are only a year anyway. All of your core classes from nursing school will count and you will only have the medic...

  8. Darton Fall 2012??

    medic9872 replied to keakin6's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm changing jobs to a slower service where I have the possibility of some sleep and study time. I've been working in Macon for the past year and I'm just exhausted. I won't be able to study here and...

  9. Darton Fall 2012??

    medic9872 replied to keakin6's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the encouragement. I'm a little nervous about waiting for the letter. I turned in my notice at work today and almost everyone there thinks I'm crazy. "why would you want to be a nurse when...

    I applied to the sandersville bridge program. Took the hesi the first week of july, made a 94% overall, 92% in a&p. My Darton gpa is 3.88, but I had quite a few transfer credits from Macon state....

  11. O2

    medic9872 replied to rowdysmomma's topic in General Students

    Probably because high levels of o2 or hyperventilation can cause vasodilation, which could make the stroke worse of its

  12. Accepted into Darton nursing for fall 2012! Now What?

    medic9872 replied to limitless-visions's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would definitely recommend lee co over Albany. I basically lived there during paramedic school. Albany as a town is ok. Schools aren't great. Most parents who can afford it send their kids to...

  13. LPN vs ASN vs BSN vs EMT

    medic9872 replied to Andrewboch's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh, there is one college paramedic program that offers a fast track option. It's for people without the emt certification. You go for a year and finish with a paramedic certificate. Its 4-5 days a...

  14. LPN vs ASN vs BSN vs EMT

    medic9872 replied to Andrewboch's topic in Georgia Nursing

    EMT basic in ga is 3 quarters. AEMT (new standard for 911 services) is 4 quarters. A basic can only work non emergency transfers in ga and I'm almost positive they have to work with an aemt or a...

  15. How many times/years did it take to get accepted.

    medic9872 replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started pre-reqs in 2005. Ended up going to emt school while still doing pre-reqs, finished that in 2007. Actually got into an adn program in 2007, but decided to go to paramedic school instead....

  16. What is your dream nursing career

    medic9872 replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    First choice would be anesthesia, but that's way down the road. I'd enjoy flight or ER and I think I'd love OR. I could even see me doing home health. I'm a little all over the place.

  18. How are you going to do it?

    medic9872 replied to Wen902's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya know, it's really an individual thing. If working while in school is what you have to do, you'll figure it out. I dealt with a lot of crap when I was married to my ex. Had to work a ton because he...

  19. Good Online Anatomy and Physiology I and II Classes? Or Nursing Prereqs

    medic9872 replied to evenstevenz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Darton college offers a&p and micro online but you do have to go to labs on Saturdays. That's probably the best you'll find. Where in ga are you? I'm in Warner

  20. Is this what I'm always going to deal with?

    medic9872 replied to mom_coach_nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on going back to school! Try not to let others negative opinions get to you. I know it's hard, but if you're happy with what you're doing, then go for it and ignore those who have a...

  21. PALS and ACLS question

    medic9872 replied to myko's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I obviously don't know how your program is structured, but make sure you've covered the material well enough before taking either ACLS or PALS. Best suggestion I have is to get the books for both and...

  22. Uniforms

    medic9872 replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    I'm still waiting on an acceptance letter, but I have had to wear scrubs in the past for work and they are so much better than my current uniform. I'm a paramedic and we have to wear polyester...
