    EMT-B / Student question

    mindofmidwifery replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in General Students

    Are there any hospitals near you? I would apply as a tech in the ER. This would be the position closest related to your EMT-B training since there are no nearby ambulance services. Most hospitals only...

    Do grades mean much?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    If you want to be an advanced practice nurse, you'll need a competitive GPA, at least a 3.0 at many schools unless you can get a high GRE score. So yes, grades do

    Are they exaggerating on sepsis or am i wrong?

    mindofmidwifery replied to stepbystep12's topic in General Nursing

    Sepsis is a hot word in our ED. If the word "sepsis" comes out of anyone's mouth we freak out. That's because we work hard to catch and treat it quickly. We have a "sepsis alert" process when someone...
