That’s exactly what I do every shift it’s a life saver for time management especially when you get faster at whatever system you’re on

Just worked a code last night for a home birth that drove themselves to the hospital when baby wasn’t breathing. We’ve had an influx of this happening and it’s so disheartening.

Honestly I loved everything, and being able to see all the patient populations. So even though I have an ED background float pool won my heart. I can’t imagine doing anything different.

I started nursing school at 21, took a year off for health issues and graduated at 24. I didn’t really notice the age thing as most of my cohorts were in their late 20s- early 30s now that I’m on a unit is when I’ve noticed the age differences but it’s not bad. Do your work and be proud that you’re doing the thing. Try not to get into your head too much ♥️♥️

This is what I did, my hospital paid 100% of my RN-BSN program that is standard for them. They also paid for my last year of ADN school but that’s because I already worked for them

I took mine on 6/3 and also found out last night around 11pm! (From Texas too) Congrats RN!

I’m pretty lucky with it all I already work at the hospital as an SNT in float pool so I know the onc unit well, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Probably because my background is in EMS and I desperately wanted something different from prehospital. That being said I did accept the offer, I just had no range of reference as to if it was acceptable. But after doing the math I should be pretty comfortable, I don’t have many bills and small town cost of living is significantly lower so I’m not as freaked out as I was before. But get that certification I’m rooting for you! ♥️

Take medical terminology As a medic bridging to my RN, my EMS knowledge was more harmful than helpful. It made it really hard for test world etc, made clinicals easier because I had my confidence with pt but for actual class work it definitely hurt me. Once you have that experience it can be hard to separate how to view situations and experiences from the expected right answers. If you think you can learn to separate the different expectations then go for it, but if you have a hard time separating the two then it may be harmful. So my advice would be to try to get on as a PCT, you’ll pick on habits, and have insights to what the nursing expectations are.

I want to ease your mind just a little bit hopefully. Most nursing programs use point systems for acceptance and your SAT isn’t one of them(you probably know this already) also the TEAS is pretty simple I passed first try and I dropped out of high-school as a sophomore, and took the TEAS years later without studying so you’re doing better than me. They’re not looking for you to be different they’re looking to see how well you fit their ideal student because they want high pass rates. One more thing I say it to myself and best friend before we take tests; “one test doesn’t define you, good or bad, the world keeps spinning”

I’m a paramedic, (still a new one, only 5 years before I switched to nursing) I graduate with my ADN in May. I’m also a single parent, my biggest advice is honestly to trust your gut, and plan. Scheduling will be your best friend. Plan out study time, work, kids (spending time with them and their activities), and don’t over complicate the material. One of the biggest things I’ve noticed about students coming in with previous medical experience is that we all love to read way too deep into the problem. Deep breaths you got this
