Just started going back to college. Currently getting ready to Transfer to WCU for Kinesiology and Exercise Science pre-physical therapist school.

I know it isn't what you were looking for, but I figured since no one else has responded, I'd throw it out there that I'm hoping to attain P.T.A or P.T

 

[LakeMountD]

Sweet, yeah I guess none of them browse the general section

 

[crader]

Trauma is a ..nurse..murse..uhm, male nurse! Yeah that sounds better!

Actually today is my 30th B-day as well. Damn, where has the time gone.

I'm in the process of enrolling in a nurse practitoner program as we speak. I've thought about nurse anesthetist, but right now the practitoner role would seem to fit my personality and lifestyle better.

It will be a rough 2 years, but i'm finally ready to get back in the saddle and get'r done.

Are you back from the honeymoon yet, lake?

Good luck bro. Do you have a certain area you want to go into once you become a practitioner?

My wife just went though a similar crossroad, and decided to go the same route as you and opt for the practitioner rather then anesthetist, she is currently an ICU nurce.. I think it is a 4yr program though, to get her doctorate in nursing.

Happy B-Day too! Enjoy.

I'm not sure where i would want to work yet. I do like cardiology and ortho, but the E.R. gives you a good variety overall.

I may have to do this part time though since we plan on starting a family as of current, so in time i'll get it done. I already have 8 years vested in the E.R. as an RN, so i may venture off to something else for a bit.

Thanks man! Big 30! :head:

Yeah finally back from the freezing weather .

Cardiology would be great, I love it. But I, too, am looking into critical care in the field of pharmacy right now as well.

 

[TexasLifter89]

Currently Finance, but on the verge of possibly going over to endocrinology. One of my buddies is going to pharmacology and he posts on here occasionally.

 

[j4ever]

US Navy Hospital Corpsman assigned to USMC Artillery and Infantry, just got out a month ago...my job was a mix between clinical medicine, paramedic, nursing, and physician assistant and pharmacist depending on where I was...my best work was done in paramedic stuff and pharmacy stuff (I like all kinds of drugs and physiology behind them )

 

[cgcrz8]

Will finally be done with medical school in May....Thank God LOL...but then there is that lovely residency :nutkick:

I just got out as well. I was CLS-I and CLS-II certified (parametic-emphasis only). Our medic was a former Ranger medic who completed SF medical course work. Pretty interesting job. Wish I would have gotten started there instead of my job (Recon).

Just remember to be good to the nursing staff during your residency, it's not a good thing to be the intern/resident the nursing staff doesn't like.

Good luck with your residency. Have you been accepted into a program yet?

 

[cgcrz8]

I definitely will be nice to nurses. You guys can make a resident's life hell if you wanted to LOL. Not yet, match is in march and i hope all goes well.

Very true, lol.

I've always been pretty lucky though, our team in the E.R. where i work all get along great. Everybody compliments each other very well. In the end, it's all a learning process for us all. That's why we need to stick together, and take it as it comes. :cheers:
