  2. Any fellow EMT's out there?

    Fireman767 replied to kbx827's topic in Male Nursing Students

    After the first semester and toning the EMT side down, it seems to flow together. Using the nursing assessment and EMT skills you can get a rapid idea of the condition and what is occurring. Also, i...

  3. Starting Nursing school with a criminal record!?

    Fireman767 replied to FranciscoMireles's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    From what my program director says, it varies on the offense as well as time of the event. For the OP, it sounds like a DUI charge and what may be obstructing justice or something serious along those...

  4. So disappointed with my clinical experiencr

    Fireman767 replied to donk's topic in General Students

    It does happen and the OB is a hit/miss. I lucked out where the first day of OB my patient gave lady partsl birth an hour after I arrived, and then we were followed by a C-section about 2 hours after...

  5. I applied to nursing school...now what?

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

    I would avoid buying things before starting school because you dont want to waste money on things that you may not even understand yet. Many concepts in nursing are built on each other, so you dont...

  6. What degree is better for an RN?

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

    If you have no medical experience I would recommend a ADN, due to the fact that within a month of classes you would know you want to be a nurse or not to be a nurse, where as a BSN means the first 2...

  7. Keep trying, or give up :(

    Fireman767 replied to andreaslick50's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, there are plenty of honest students that have tried at a school and not made it and reported their grades. If most people did what you recommended, we would have (not calling out anyone in...

  8. Keep trying, or give up :(

    Fireman767 replied to andreaslick50's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two schools to apply to isn't a wide selection. After getting my first BS i applied to about 5 or 6 schools for my second degree to widen the likelihood of getting in (I had a 3.4 gpa but most...

  9. Please help. Got an academic dishonesty record on my transcript.

    Fireman767 replied to yvette1222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with MaddieM, we had some students cheat on a basic nursing diagnosis sheet that resulted in some students being dismissed from the program and those students to this day still can't get into...

  10. How much do you make as a tech?

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

    Bridgeport, CT $14 an hour, but ive heard the paramedics say they get up to $26.50 an hour after 3 years of

  11. How to make an A in a&p1?

    Fireman767 replied to Apples9847's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well if you study your butt off and get a B, then be happy. Many of the people I went to class with didnt get that, most had to retake the class. I bought a second A&P book for a different...

  12. How can I land icu tech position while in nursing school?

    Fireman767 replied to kht124's topic in General Students

    Many of the people I know who got jobs as ICU techs, ER techs, CCU techs and such are generally either EMTs or took a course for the specific field (such as a cardiovascular tech course or such)....

  13. ABSN-MSN-DNP all in one

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

    Certain programs such as Yale, Columbia and other higher programs do have where you can go from ABSN to MSN, in about 2-3 years, however I have not heard of the DNP being a part of it, mostly because...

  14. physiology and microbiology in same semester

    Fireman767 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried taking both at once, long story short I dropped Microbiology because it was too much info between the two and the Micro was built heavily on the A&P course. But with good time management...

  15. A&P before Microbiology??

    Fireman767 replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the cycle is supposed to go Gen bio 1, then A&p 1, then A&P 2, then micro. Micro goes into depth about A&P 1 and 2 with different system assessments and conditions and genetics and such,...

  16. Accredited vs. Not

    Fireman767 replied to Spartanguy625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you plan on going for a masters or further degree, most programs require you to attend an accredited program. So if after 10 years you decide to go for your masters and you attended a...

  17. Failed appeals on your record.

    Fireman767 replied to charli_appleRN's topic in General Students

    I must agree with you, the fact that she missed the exam and failed is her fault, no one elses. Sadly, there are people who are in my program who are the same as her and miss an exam or fail by a few...

  18. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    I just want to clarify, not all the people that do ABSN are experienced but many are. My point is more geared towards people who do not have a Bachelors or anything. My program director made a...

  19. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    The defining factor is that ABSN programs are generally more geared toward people with experience in the medical field. An ADN program gets you into the basic nursing courses where you do clinicals...

  20. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    Actually my adn course only required A&P1 to start the nursing courses. However they recommend completing A&P 1 and 2, and if you choose not to nursing is harder but you can start it. Sadly,...

  21. Do we still dissect things in a&p?

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

    A&p1: Cats, rats, and some sheep. A&P2: Cats, sheep, cow for certain organs Some schools use cadavers if they have a program to help them and allow them to use them (usually the schools that...

  22. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    Yeah, i can figure that. I have a friend at Drexel for their ABSN program, and I get to hear from him all the time that he wishes he did a 2+2 program so he could have had a more paced education with...

  23. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    I'm near Altoona (about 1.5 hours east of pittsburgh). College is Mount Aloysius

  24. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    Fireman767 replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    Well I see you have a B.S. so thats good, however this is Nursing, which is in itself intense. Good to see the expenses aren't an issue, so either work. One thing I would mention, is if you happen...

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

    I agree with imalvn on the tattoos, I would check with the school. My RN school has a strict cover the tattoos or theres issues. So in short, check with your school. As far as the dyslexia goes,...
