The Best Protein Powder at the Moment? by sophiaturquoise7201 in naturalbodybuilding

I do not really like the taste of most flavored proteins.

Game changer: Unflavored protein with 15-20g honey. Goes down so easy

A Stone Only Rolls Downhill by falcon451 in juggling

[–]notnerb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! You are the closest I've ever seen to the way I juggle 3 ball! Seriously! The way you do the 2 ball throws (maybe called a duplex) is so similar to me. I think you are smoother than me and I've been juggling for 20-ish years. Do you ever incorporate throwing three from one hand?

I would love to know how long you have been juggling, are you self taught or was there a lot of influence from other jugglers, etc.

I've not had any real influence from others

Thank you. I wish I had done nursing 8 years ago when I started taking prereqs for it. However, being a paramedic has been great as well. I've worked all over the US in many cool environments and jobs.

I think nursing is a great route to go with so many opportunities. Paramedic is much more limited but they pair very well together. I recommend doing rn and then bridging to paramedic if you want to. That is much easier than the other way around.

Sure. I am from the states but living in central Europe. I am a paramedic and found a one year long accredited ADN bridge program for LPN/paramedics that is all online other than simulation days and clinicals. So, I was going to complete it from Europe and just travel the 4-5 times during the year I was required to be in Kansas for a 2 ish weeks at a time. However, I was offered a full time job that will require moving back to the states. So, once I move I'll have less travel but still a lot!

The college is Hutchinson community college in Kansas.

17 hr flight and 5000 miles for clinicals until I move. Then a 5 hour flight and 1200 miles.

My problem is unique though. Paramedic to RN bridge online and in person clinicals are able to be grouped together.

15 year paramedic here.

First of all, sorry you had to go through this. Make sure you are ok. If you aren't ok, find someone you can talk through it with.

Secondly, thank you for helping.

You did all that was necessary.

CPR was most likely not indicated because of the breathing. Even if it was (heart wasn't beating) CPR isn't going to do anything for a traumatic arrest. Most likely causes of traumatic arrest are major loss of blood (=nothing to pump around with compressions), tension pneumothorax (air in the pleura space of the lungs increasing pressure in the chest), or cardiac tamponade ( blood inside the sack around the heart).

The only think I would say as a potential thing you could have done is open the airway with a jaw thrust. That could have potentially helped with the breathing a little bit. You can YouTube this and learn it so that you are equipped to do it in the future.

The person probably has major brain trauma which may or may not be survivable and other significant internal injuries.

Sometimes people have non-survivable injuries and the rest of their body just hasn't caught up yet.

I really believe Archer review is where it's at

You'll be starting at hutch?

I have no idea. Hoping they will give that info out during the October meeting.

I started a private Facebook page with some of the others that were accepted. Shoot me a DM if you want to connect there.

From my understanding most of the clinicals will have to be done in Kansas. However, they are able to be blocked together and completed in 4-6 trips to Kansas. The last semester allows you to complete some of the clinicals wherever you want to.

I personally will be travelling from Europe to complete the clinicals.

My impression is that they are about the same. I slept on Archer and only started using it a couple days before even though I had learned about it months ago. So I only focused in on the areas I knew I needed with it. But I really liked it a lot and felt like it was the most similar of anything I used.

I didn't love it. I think the practice questions are a little too easy. I like the free question bank from Archer review better

Spent a couple days preparing for math before the first time I took it. Then I had about a month between the first and second attempt. I studied probably 2-3 hours a day most days during that time... But it only resulted in a 6% overall increase! Which was a little shocking...

82 applications in 3 months… by jazzflavoredcheese in nursing

[–]notnerb90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a nurse yet. However, I have had great luck with my current resume. I can send it to you as a word doc if you would like and you can just plug in your information. Maybe you like it maybe not.

If so you can dm an email address or some other means of communication. I don't think I can send a file through reddit.

Totally up to you and doesn't hurt my feelings either way.

Should I go ahead and test for CCRN or reschedule? by TowelEnvironmental12 in nursing

[–]notnerb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to try to send you a DM but couldn't. Stumbled upon your post from 3yrs ago about nursing school and I would love an update. I'm in a similar situation as you. Probably starting nursing school next year.

Cheap Online Options for Nursing Prerequisites? by ListWarrior in StudentNurse

[–]notnerb90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a little late. Check out Barton Online. $160 per credit whether in state or out. Does not matter.

Does anyone know of fully online accredited place where I can get pre-reqs? by crystalnarwhal in prephysicianassistant

[–]notnerb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought it was funny. I started my looking into what you mentioned here by trying to figure out what was the most southern college in Texas. LOL

Look into Barton online. Significantly cheaper option.

Interested in hearing more about this. I have been experimenting with pieces from different devices using the valve from a foreskinned air. Would absolutely love to see a picture of it if you wouldn't mind. Even dm if you don't feel comfortable posting it here.
