  1. Is earwax removal an emergency?

    KatMill2312 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I just want to put my 2 cents in as an EMT-B and nursing student (insert groans, it's ok I accept)! One of the most impactful things my EMS instructors ever said to me was: it's not MY emergency....

  2. Advice for my first semester please

    KatMill2312 replied to kristinn239's topic in General Students

    Hi Kristinn239! I'm starting nursing school in like 3 weeks (í ¾í´¤) I, like you, have been a SAHM for a long time. My kids are 9, 6 and almost 3 year old twins. It's kind of terrifying gong...

  3. Your impression of a nurse working on an ambulance

    KatMill2312 replied to ClayH's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, the joys of the "nurses vs EMS." Welcome to the world of EMS, as a PP put it. I start my nursing program in August and I have been told by countless people "DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU'RE AN EMT!!" It...

  4. Female Stressing hard about being EMT

    KatMill2312 replied to JennaBadger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is ridiculous. I am a female EMT and I would consider myself to have the personality traits you listed: silly, happy go lucky, etc. Now, I AM competitive but I don't think that is a male trait...

  5. Anxiously waiting for the acceptance bus

    KatMill2312 replied to Ghost of Dobby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well....I got my acceptance e-mail yesterday!!! I start my nursing program in the fall! I'm thrilled, nervous, and relieved that the wait (at least for that part) is over! I'm so grateful for...

  6. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! Congrats to you as well, I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier my brain is in overdrive! I agree that we should try and meet up, maybe before bootcamp? For coffee or something? I also have no idea...

    KatMill2312 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I just applied for the FRCC Fall 2017 cohort and am anxiously awaiting to hear if I was accepted or not. Deadline is March 31st so it's going to be awhile.... Anyone else apply for FRCC...

  9. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree Parah that they probably let everyone know at the same time. I didn't even think og spring break but that might have had something to do with it. I actually called Thursday, and there is 1...

  10. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. I've heard nothing. I even emailed to make sure they got my application (they did). I've been nervous since I applied so....idk. I wish they'd get back to us! You heard back April 5th last...

  11. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear you! I am checking my email WAY too much lol. Expecting anything this first week was probably silly, but one can hope! I would like to think the scores we have are competitive enough, but we...

  12. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Idk if my score makes me feel better or worse lol! Did whoever you were talking to happen to mention when we should hear back about acceptance/rejection? When are you guys moving out

  13. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking A&PII now, I didn't think I could do the accelerated course with both 1 and 2 last semester since I was also taking micro and a math class and... gah I don't even remember what the...

  14. FRCC Larimer Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! Great job on the HESI and your grades AND getting everything in on time! I really hope we both get in too! I don't feel like I did well enough on the HESI (87.5) bit hopefully! I'm really hoping...

  15. Anxiously waiting for the acceptance bus

    KatMill2312 replied to Ghost of Dobby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to everyone who got into their programs! This is the last week my program has for people to turn in their applications, so....I'm still waiting. We should hear sometime in April í...

  16. How to survive Pre-nursing

    KatMill2312 replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like previous posters have suggested letting us in on what exactly you are struggling with would be helpful: specific classes? Length of time it takes to complete pre-req work? Applying for nursing...

  17. Nursing School Fall 2017

    KatMill2312 replied to Jennifershlee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too am applying for Fall 2017. I've got 2 applications out: FRCC Larimer and DSoN. It's awful and stressful and I hate it and I would just like to know! LOL. How are you holding up?

  18. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    KatMill2312 replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No unless the Baby Boomers lay off the Millennials....can you imagine the first special snowflake comment a Boomer makes to a Millennial nurse? Bwahahaha. In all seriousness, I think that the Boomers...

  19. Anxiously waiting for the acceptance bus

    KatMill2312 replied to Ghost of Dobby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I finally get to apply on Monday (02/20) and they won't let us know until sometime in April as the deadline is March 31st. I feel you on the nerves....I made great grades, did pretty well on the HESI,...

  20. Freaking out about HESI A2

    KatMill2312 replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did pretty good, 87.5 %. Chemistry kinda hurt me, I got an 84% in that. I hadn't taken a chemistry course since high school and the stuff in the review book and pocket prep app were a little off; at...

  21. Freaking out about HESI A2

    KatMill2312 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I FINALLY got all of my prereqs finished ( yay) and now my last hurdle ( at least to get into a nursing program) is taking the HESI A2. I am scheduled to take it January 2nd, so in a week. I've been...

  22. Help! I can't hear it!

    KatMill2312 replied to Cattylady98's topic in General Students

    Ok, first, calm down, trying to hear a heartbeat over the pounding of your own is counterproductive. Here's my advice: place the cuff, but don't inflate it. Then, place your stethoscope over the...

  23. Feeling discouraged

    KatMill2312 replied to Zerocks's topic in General Students

    Still waters run deep. I feel like that may describe you, I am similar in several ways. However, like others have said, there's a distinct difference between quiet and reserved and someone with low...

  24. My Phobia

    KatMill2312 replied to Lisa2.0's topic in General Students

    So, as an EMT I've seen less poop then take average Joe but my share of death (and thus dead bodies), probably a higher percentage rate than say a person who works with peds or in the PACU. That being...

  25. Hey has anyone taken microbiology online with lab that didnt need a lab kit??!

    KatMill2312 replied to shasaynee's topic in General Students

    There are lots of online micro courses with labs....but they're going to cost money ( usually pretty pricey BECAUSE of the lab kit) AND I have yet to see any online bio course that includes the...
