No I inserted the needle fast, my classmates were laughing and thought I was being funny and trying to hurt the people I administered on but I thought that was least painful to have it inserted quickly.

Honestly I didn't even watch him, it just felt like he inserted it 3 separate times, which I know he didn't but I guess that was him moving it around. You could see the vein because I'm pale but I don't think it was as easy as he was expecting.

I'm a paramedic student not an RN- today in class we had to administer IM meds and start a successful line on our classmates. There's some things I've been rethinking and somewhat unclear on. 1. The guy who tried to start a line on me used my hand which was against my better judgement but he thought it was easiest access. It hurt! Like I'm saying Ouch 3 times and like making painful faces. I guess the vein rolled and he was fishing for it but OMG. Does any one else see the hand being more sensitive? I tried my first IV on the hand, it was a good vein but I couldn't stick it more so because of nerves, the guy was saying how bad it hurt him aswell. Is that universal to have that access site more painful? 2. When we were doing Sub-Q and IM administration, I "popped" the syringe in. They all eased in the needle, I was gentle but I was under the impression that shots were somewhat a fluid motion with the wrist. We all laughed about it but I honestly now I'm not sure if I'm inserting the needle with the correct pace?

Good Job, hopefully we will run into each other in January lol I just asked a girl I know in the program and she said her class average (she got in last year) was a 76 so fingers crossed.

I am applying for Delta too, on the admissions rubric I have 85/100 but I still do not know if that is competitive. I talked to the dean last year and he showed me the statistics on the students that got in and I saw were they did admit someone with a 2.5 GPA so I am guessing that 85/100 is probably competitive, they just did really well on the TEAS. I hit a 79 on the teas yesterday, although I wanted it to be higher, I hate that delta lumps anything over 80 as what 40 points?

Thanks I did not even consider being a cut off although I am not on federal student aid, I am using a state scholarship. From my understanding, I have 4 years or 8 semesters to utilize my tuition being paid for and I have one year left of that. I would be paying for the paramedic program out of pocket to avoid student debt. To be an LPN in my area would be 18 months which is far to long to get a leg up into a registered nursing program, I will set up advising appointments with both schools just to see how my gpa is weighted and what they are looking for specifically that can strengthen my application, thank you.

So I have excessive college credit; im like one core class away from a psychology degree (B.A.) and was planning on becoming a paramedic to work while I raised my gpa to apply for a PA program. Anywho, the paramedic program I was going to attend just doubled in price, yikes. I do not want a career in ems although I do love it. I applied before my emt class and A n P lab at Louisiana Tech for their two year nursing program and was declined; I meet the requirements to apply, but I do not know whats competitive to their program. The lady I spoke with said 100 students apply and they take 40; well that seems like good odds. Will me being an EMT help? the application asks about volunteer hours, being an lpn or cna, Should I become a cna first? I applied for an ER tech job maybe that will strengthen my application. My backup school is the community college but Im not sure if I can apply this year, online it says 5 classes are needed before application which are included on the admission rubric, i have those, but another section says I need an additional one that is not even on the rubric before applying. I am lost on how to become more competitive with out just taking another year of college to raise my science gpa.
