    DoubleblessedRN replied to loricatus's topic in Emergency

  2. Any other new nurses slapping their heads saying DUH!?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Yes... I did something really stupid on a clinical once (something I have known for years not to do) but I was only focusing on one thing and overlooked the other, and the CNA said something really...

  3. Happy Emergency Nurses Day

    DoubleblessedRN replied to loricatus's topic in Emergency

    You have got to be kidding me!!! I've never worked in the hospital other than clinicals, so call me naive if you want, but your hospital is encouraging employees to write others up?

  5. Lots of math?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Autofocus's topic in Online Distance Learning

    As Lunah said, there isn't that much math involved. The only one I believe there was math was on NC2, which had IV drip rates and I also believe NC1 had some basic drug dose calculations under...

  6. Do you just turn the homeless back out onto the streets?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in Emergency

    It seems that most of them do get turned back on the streets, at least where I am. I am a paramedic and used to work 911 for a lower middle class suburb. There was a homeless alcoholic we used to...

  9. HELP!! I cant pass NC1

    DoubleblessedRN replied to luvluv's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is there a particular area of that exam you are having trouble with? To pass EC's exams you have to pass all areas of the exam. For instance, NC4 is 25% cardiac, 25% respiratory, 40% abnormal cell...

  10. Paramedic to RN via Excelsior?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's good to have a nice mix of both prehospial and private ambulance transport, especially if you want to become a RN. I am current an EC student and I have only worked private EMS, but the companies...

  14. EC Practice Exams ??

    DoubleblessedRN replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can still reference them after taking them, as they can be retrieved for up to 120 days like Coldfoot stated. It saves your response as well as the correct answer. I THINK it is 5 questions per...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The cost of the practice exams are $60, and there are two tests with 100 questions each. After skimming through the assigned readings, I would take test A to see what I knew. That gave me a very...

  17. Possible to become RN with 2.1 HS GPA?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never completed high school. I won't get into the details as to why not, but I did get my GED when I was 21. Many nursing programs (at least those around here) do not look at high school grades....

    DoubleblessedRN replied to CrazyFLBean's topic in Online Distance Learning
