Sorry haven't really been posting on here that much recently.

The interview itself went really, really well. I was really able to impress the interviewer, and she said some things that made it seem like she was very interested in me as a student. Turns out, she was. A few days after the interview, I got an e-mail saying that I was accepted. So pretty soon (once the paperwork is all set), I'll be a nursing student B)
 
Congratulations!

To repeat my earlier question, though, weren't you going pre-med? Change of plans?

well you know, you can become an NP and pretend to be a doctor.

Yes and no. That's what I'm going to do, but I wouldn't really call it the "quick" way. 4 years of college is a little longer than I would consider quick ;)

I do know what you mean though.

nice! Which school is this? I'm actually applying to BSN programs next year

Westfield State College in Massachusetts. Where are you applying?

Congratulations!

Thanks!

As far as the pre-med plans go, here's what my plan is. My main career goal is still to be a paramedic. The pre-med was only so that I could get a better education for the paramedicine field; I was never planning on going to medical school. Being a doctor is not really something that I'm interested in.

Instead of pre-med, I decided to take the RN educational route. I really feel that it will give me a leg up and greatly help my understanding of the human body, psychology, pharmacology, patient care, etc. After I graduate college, I'll either be going to paramedic school, or I'll challenge the test. EMS/paramedicine will be my primary career. However, I'm planning to work as a nurse as a second job to make extra money and learn more. Does that make sense? It's sort of difficult to explain online :wacko:

Nope, still paramedic-hopeful. See what I wrote above :P

Oh reaaaaallly? Will I get to wear one of those cool white coats? If so, definitely something to consider ;)

I kidd. I could go for NP at some point, but I probably won't. Plans can always change though.
 
"The quick way, RN to P"?

Kinda like removing the appendix via the mouth...it's all part of the GI system, no?
 
Getting 2 certifications in the time it takes to get one... yeah, that's slow.


Look at 8jimi8... he's doing the full course load for both.

He's my hero <3:P

That's provided you continue to live in a state that permits RNs to challenge the medic exam. In ny great state, RNs can only challenge the EMT-B. MICNs exist, but are somehow less than full medics in ways I don't entirely understand. They don't get their P unless they take the full course.

Anyway, good luck. At least, with a nursing license, you'll probably never starve.
 
Oh, two at once..got it. Sorry.

okokok so I'm an antique.;)
