  1. About to apply to SON. Resume help? Thank you!

    Fireman767 replied to margerator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if they asked for a resume its because they want to see how professional you are. Not because they figure your getting a job. my old college asked for resumes and the admissions recruiter said they...

  2. About to apply to SON. Resume help? Thank you!

    Fireman767 replied to margerator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    really would be more helpful to see exactly what they are looking for then. If this were a real resume as in you were applying for a job, more than likely the place would discard your application...

  3. About to apply to SON. Resume help? Thank you!

    Fireman767 replied to margerator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am editing what should and shouldnt be in it in bold and underlined Realistically when you do the resume you have categories: Work experience volunteer work/experience activies (sports groups,...

  4. Scrubs!!

    Fireman767 replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    They look good, and I wish my scrubs were black. The red coat is way to much. On another note, she looks like Carmen Sandiego. I am not making fun of the OP, and i think the scrubs are awesome on...

  5. ED Tech

    Fireman767 replied to Dom3269's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I volunteered as an EMT for nearly 4 years before i was even considered for an ED tech position. Usually you need to be an EMT or paramedic for 5+ years, have a phlebotomy license, know how to...

  6. Testing out of A&P

    Fireman767 replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    Bridgeport Hospital, UCONN, even Yale (I know of in connecticut) all will accept students contingent on them completing A&P 1+2, micro, etc. You must show that you are either signed up for the...

  7. Considering my options....kind of low GPA after freshmen year of college

    Fireman767 replied to shinealightonme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I enjoy Mount Aloysius. I dont know how to true it is, but many Penn State nursing students say the mount's nursing is tougher but more rewarding. I can not remark on that comment since Ive only...

  8. Testing out of A&P

    Fireman767 replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    Its actually common with ABSN programs. But for ADN or BSN programs usually it requires at least part 1 of A&P, but usually both parts. Im sure the OP didnt understand that A&P was required...

  9. Specialty...how did you decide?

    Fireman767 replied to akilah530's topic in General Students

    I plan to do either Emergency Room or cardio. Just like the higher stress

  10. Testing out of A&P

    Fireman767 replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    Im gonna be a little mean here and say, i think you may have jumped into a nursing program soon if the thought of "testing out" of the single most important pre-nursing course possible crossed your...

  11. Engraving on Littmann

    Fireman767 replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    Its actually a pretty serious offense to put RN beside your name if you don't have it. For those people who have gone through nursing school and graduated and earned the title they will attest to the...

  12. Will being a CNA increase my chance?

    Fireman767 replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA will help you a decent amount especially getting used to just the basic patient work and therapuetic communication. I would recommend

  13. Considering my options....kind of low GPA after freshmen year of college

    Fireman767 replied to shinealightonme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want a low GPA option and want to start soon, Mount Aloysius College (Cresson, PA) is a good nursing program. Its an Associates but they have a 2+2 program (BSN program where you get the...

  14. Internships for current nursing students

    Fireman767 replied to lilliebelle316's topic in General Students

    Well i can tell you to look into your own area of the country. People always want to go somewhere new, but you need to realize, most summer internships are looking for people to work the summer, the...

  15. ASBN Programs

    Fireman767 replied to BritneyB27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with the person above. Although many people will say you don't need it, it helps. Its a fairly easy course (took gen chhem 1 and 2, easy to me if you study). I will say many of the students...

  16. I Know This Annoying but....

    Fireman767 replied to theodorerhoades's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    even though there are classes for PCT, you really don't need it to work as a PCT. Im in Connecticut myself, none of the hospitals near me (Saint Vincents, Bridgeport Hospital, Griffin, Stamford,...

  17. Medical history form for nursing school

    Fireman767 replied to med43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I had to guess i would say they are looking for serious physical impairments that would limit your ability to nurse. Things such as bad back, or osteoporosis, etc. Also, im sure they look for...

  18. Sticky Situation

    Fireman767 replied to Tbellx12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I myself went to Stony Brook (2007-2011 (Healthcare Administration)) and many of the colleges your looking at will prefer to see classes in person rather than online. They may say they will take...

  19. what the?? accreditations

    Fireman767 replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    actually private versus public makes no difference since many of the community colleges near me are not CCNE or NLNAC accredited, just state board accredited. The private college i go to is CCNE and...

  20. Decent job(s) for a student waiting to re-apply to nursing school?

    Fireman767 replied to hiddenjoules's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your an emt take a arrhythmia course and phlebotomy course and you can work as an ER technician. Otherwise CNA will prepare you best for

  21. Volunteering.

    Fireman767 replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They actually expect the person to know what to do, and there are classes to do it. However, if you have years of experience in emergency care they substitute it. I looked at CNA jobs and they were...

  22. Volunteering.

    Fireman767 replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had an interview today as a cardiovascular technician/Critical Care Technician and the recruiter outright told me the EMT was the main qualification that looked at for the position for nursing...

  23. Volunteering.

    Fireman767 replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ive been a volunteer EMT with my towns EMS service for years. I did up to 20 hours a week and the nursing schools really were interested in that. Some schools have started to give students with...

  24. Am I making a bad decision or should I stick to the course?

    Fireman767 replied to ryanslocklear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    since it sounds like your in the rural area of the country, you should be ok to find a job. There are shortages in the places that have lower population numbers or have fewer colleges. As far as med...

  25. EMT-B to ER Nurse

    Fireman767 replied to EMS_Rhino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the EMT will more than likely help you get an ER job post college, it won't help you in nursing school. I myself have been an EMT-B for about 6 years and started nursing school a year ago. the...
