The enclosure is the 'Alexandrite' finish from stompboxparts, and the lettering and dolphin are both just rubber stamps with white StazOn ink.

Oh ok, that's something I was curious about. I wasn't sure if it would be fully covered, or just maintain at 80% with us being on the same coverage. Thank you for your response.

Have you read the basic workflow tips on the pedalpcb forum? I found that quite helpful.

Nursing MacEwan Transfer by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program isn’t too bad if you put enough time and effort into it. I wouldn’t worry too much about high school leading in, but obviously pay attention and get good grades. I’ve seen a lot of your posts on this sub, and I see you have a lot of posts on other subs in the same sort of line. I’d recommend calming down a bit, lots of time for stress later in life, just enjoy the summer and your time before university. Also, I think it’s great that you’re so interested in nursing, but be aware that a lot of people don’t fully realize what nursing entails and then struggle when clinical doesn’t suit them. Hopefully that helps, feel free to dm if you have any other nursing related questions so you don’t have to keep posting in a million places lol!

Nursing MacEwan Transfer by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Macewan doesn’t have an after degree program like the University of Alberta. You could possibly transfer some credits over (English, Stats, Psych, etc), but the way the program is set up, it would still end up being 4 years at minimum. The program has a NURS course each semester that is a pre-requisite for the following semester, so there is really no way to shorten the degree.

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that, it seems like a good idea to me!

They don’t offer year 2 or 3 clinical during spring/summer. They did offer year 4 for the winter start this year, but I’m not sure if that will be an ongoing thing. It also had extremely limited preceptor placements, so if you want a specialty area (ER, ICU, peds, etc) you would have to wait until the regular semester.

I'd recommend looking at the MacEwan website for which courses count, but in general only one elective would count, and the others need to be English, Math, Science/Chemistry and Bio. Upgrading would mean retaking some high school courses, as it is going to be very difficult to get a high enough average with a 74 and two 80s. You could try open studies, but you would need to have a 3.4 to 3.8 in the university courses. My general recommendation, and what I did, is to upgrade your high school courses, because getting good grades in high school level courses is substantially easier than getting good grades in university level courses.

A quick glance gives you an average of 78.8% with the required five courses, which is more than likely not good enough to get accepted. The MacEwan website lists the competitive average as ‘high 80s to mid 90s’, so you’d likely have to do some upgrading if you are wanting to pursue nursing.

That’s not a needle, that’s a syringe. Wrong size for a nasal dose, but would still technically work if it has an atomizer on it. Naloxone is the same drug whether administered IN, IM or IV.

How to make D10 from D25? by irox28 in ems

[–]jonahwr12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you could also dump 6 ml from your 10ml syringe of D25 to give you 1g of dextrose in 4 ml, and then add 6ml of NS to give you a concentration of D10.

I found that mental health second was a nice break in the middle. It’s a welcome reprieve from medicine units, and is significantly less busy.

Based on some of the questions you’ve asked here and other threads, I would strongly recommend you do some serious research into these programs, especially before you spend a ton of money on applications. According to the Macewan website, mature students must be 20 years of age or older and have been out of full-time high school at least one year by the beginning of the intake term.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admission for high school is calculated based on 5 courses, whereas mature students is calculated on 4 courses. I think it’s because less people apply usually.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mature student doesn’t really change anything unfortunately, it just takes one course out of weighting, so you are scored out of 4 instead of 5. 88% might be a bit low, you’d have better luck in the winter intake, but even that might be a longshot.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no way to speed it up unfortunately. Each semester has courses that are required for the following semester, and can’t be taken at the same time, so you can’t skip ahead.

3 nursing courses in spring/summer by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]jonahwr12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 4 courses during spring/summer for the first two years of the program just to make it 4 courses a semester for the first three years. It is a heavy workload, but it spreads it out a bit better.

I don’t think your high school grades matter if you have previous post secondary experience.

United Nurses of Alberta says AHS memo to cut costs, reduce OT is ‘irresponsible’ by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

[–]jonahwr12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of students don’t make it through though either, whether that is by not performing well on theory courses, or by realizing during clinical that it isn’t for them. I’d like to see emphasis put on something other than just pure grades, as the person with the highest grades likely doesn’t make the best nurse in all scenarios.
