  1. So bitter? So soon?

    Highly doubt without any special certs. Pretty sure they have EMS certs. Unless they are just ambulance drivers or work on special ambulances like not real EMS ambulance such peds transport etc
  2. So bitter? So soon?

    RN's cant work in EMS unless you have an EMS cert. That is nation wide. They are probably dual certed or licensed. Also OP. Just so you know. EMS doesnt pay very good. And burn out rates are VERY high. You usually work 24 hour shifts or if you are lu...
  3. COPD

    A patient with COPD will do fine on high flow O2..even a non rebreather at 15lpm as long as they are not on it very long....a short period of time is not long enough to knock out their hypoxic drive. However you arent going to see great O2 sats with ...

    My alternate spot got moved to a permanent one for the RT program at Terre Haute! I was so excited when she called I could barely contain myself. No word on the RN program and I honestly dont expect my alternate spot to change there. But wanted to u...

    Yea a lot of RT's become RN's or visa versa. Good way to do more than one job you love! :)
  6. Ivytech fall 2013

    I feel.like that for the RT program but not for the medic/Rn. I dunno I should be thankful at least I am an alternate...my mom was an alternate for both her lpn and rn and got a spot for both each time. Fingers crossed the same happens for me!
  7. Ivytech fall 2013

    Well I got my Paramedic/Rn letter today and I am an alternate. Pretty bummed about that! So now I am alternate for the RT program and the RN program. So Im crossing everything that I get into one of the programs!! If not guess I will be applying for ...

  9. Associate Degree In Nursing, but I want to Serve

  10. Associate Degree In Nursing, but I want to Serve

    Yes this does apply to enlisted only. Should of clarified. Of course officers have much more options
  11. Associate Degree In Nursing, but I want to Serve

    And the above is NOT true about living on/off base. They have single soldier barracks and you arent allowed to live off post unless your unit gives permission. For the Army anyways
  12. Associate Degree In Nursing, but I want to Serve

    If you are wanting to do healthcare you should look into Army...whether it be reserves or active. You can join right now but you cant come in as an officer. You would just be enlisted. Ive always wanted to be an Army PA...but my husband is active dut...
  13. Will being a CNA increase my chance?

    It depends on the requirements of your school. My school...NO. it is a waste of your time because they soley go off grades and TEAS. They could care less what you did before. I couldnt work as a CNA either. Mu sister does but not for me :/

    Libran1984....have any of the medics you work with got their letter's?! I was hoping they would send em out early but I haven't got anything yet!!!
  18. Ivytech fall 2013

    Yes it is! Considering I had to apply with my first TEAS score which was pretty low...cuz their deadline is a month before nursing and it was a last min decision to apply for RT. So pretty darn good :)
  19. Ivytech fall 2013

    Still waiting on lawrence letters for RT and medic to RN but when I got home from Ft Knox today I had a letter from the Terre Haute Ivy Tech and I was selected as an alternate for the RT program there!!! Pretty excited about that because I still have...
  20. Ivytech fall 2013

    Yea that is why I said IU Bloomington. My mom said it must be an Indianapolis thing :/ sucks to work up there then! She works 7a-7p. Her evening shift diff starts at 3p.
  21. Ivytech fall 2013

    IU bloomington has not done away with evening shift diffs. My mom is an RN on med/surg and still gets shift diff. But yes IU you have to already have your BSN or get it within 5 years of employment or your gone. My mom had to sign that with them and ...
  22. questions about gpa and lamar university in tx

    Our school doesnt look at your GPA at all except you have to have a min of 2.0 to get in. Other than that they weight grades of pre-reqs and teas but is is only an ASN program :) it is also a very competitive program and you usually have to have A's ...
  23. Most BSN accelerated programs around here you have to have a bachelors degree before you can be eligible. It sounds like they are talking accelerated because those programs are 2 years or less. However with an associates degree in art you are probabl...
