1. Expectations being a Nursing Student

   KeekesRenea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello, everyone! I am currently a pre-nursing student at Eastern Michigan University. I just recently finished my long and grueling semester. In the semester I just finished, I was taking 6 classes (A&P 1 and 2, Mathematical Reasoning, Life Span,...

2. What does your username mean?

   Keekes is just a play off my first name which is "Kiarra". Renea is my middle name.

3. Eastern Michigan Nursing Program 2017

   KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in School Programs

   The few people I spoke to had close to my score... Which honestly made me nervous. How can that many be close, you know?

4. Eastern Michigan Nursing Program 2017

   KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in School Programs

   To be honest, I think it will. There are more people applying and I've heard that competition was really fierce. I was thinking about not applying at first... I don't think my score it that great... But I worked my butt off to get to this point, so I...

   Thank you for your reply. :)

6. Thick Skin and Emotion Control for a Future in Nursing

   KeekesRenea posted a topic in Career Support

   I don't know a fancy way to start this, so I'll just get straight to the point of this post... For as long as I could remember, I've always been well attached to my emotions... I knew what I was feeling at the specific time of that specific situation...

   I applied and I had a few more points than I thought. I am up to 478.92 points. What about you? Did you pass the TEAS? How many points do you have?

9. Tired of the Stereotypes of Medics and EMTs

   KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Relations

   Well, that's fine, I guess. I was able to say what I had to say. If they're determined to stay ignorant, it is no longer my problem.

10. Tired of the Stereotypes of Medics and EMTs

    KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Relations

    Just like you are speaking from experience, I am also speaking on experience. And what I have seen from the healthcare field, in general, seems pretty valid. Am I denying that there are medics like the ones you described? No. Me being a paramedic had...

    Have you retaken the TEAS, yet?

12. Advice studying LPN/Medical Assistant

    KeekesRenea replied to Bhgmm's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Do what you feel will help you. CNA is probably the most traditional in terms of getting experience before becoming and LPN. But you really don't have to. People push becoming a CNA before doing LPN or RN... But, I became a paramedic and I'm aiming t...

    KeekesRenea posted a topic in School Programs

    Is anyone applying to EMU's traditional BSN program for the Fall 2017? I haven't seen a post for this year yet... So, I am hoping for some responses! I've taken all the prerequisites there except one. I have straight As in every prereq except for Or...

14. Tired of the Stereotypes of Medics and EMTs

    KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Relations

    You are very right and I agree 100% with this. Maybe I shouldn't care as much... I just feel like people stereotype each other over dumb things all the time... I wish more people in healthcare, despite their licensure level, could work as a team inst...

15. Tired of the Stereotypes of Medics and EMTs

    KeekesRenea replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Relations

    I understand what you are saying. I am definitely not dissatisfied with my job, though. I used paramedicine as a stepping stone and I am quite proud of my choice. It just gets annoying with people invalidating medics all the time and a lot of the tim...
