and it gets me my EMT (which is cool)

My whole family has done this and they have been good at it...


I kind of want to help people and not do the same thing everyday though...

any thoughts would be cool dont be a jerk-off vfast

P.S. If i do the fire thing, if I decide to become a police officer, my EMT can help me get in right?

[HMUSN]

do the RN thing.

it's hard now but it's worth MUCH more in the end.

[Tiller88]

yeah Im still considering it but I dont know....

[Onemanzu]

i hate abbreviations...

RN= Registered nurse?

don't become a welder... i have been in the same job for 5 years and i hate it i cannot stand doing the same damn thing every single day

[Tiller88]

Yeah RN = Reg Nurse

I just dont know if I can do it the more I look into it

Ok weilder is out so Im lookin to firefighter any other suggestions?

Im thinkin about police officer as well

[HMUSN]

RN = Nurse.. your correct.

Stick with RN. You can always add more to your qualifications later. You will NEVER need a job as an RN and you WILL always make good money. You can do "different" things with all the loot you got and spare time.

[JASonic]

Dont do the Firefighter thing unless you've wanted to do it since 3rd grade. You'll make more money and live a better life as an RN.

I just dont know if I can clean peoples shit.... and like check for all the symptoms when it comes to shit....

[HMUSN]

you'll get used to it bro.. trust me.

you won't think of it as "shit" after a while.. it's hard to explain//

[Tiller88]

please try right now I am being pushed away from it hard core, Im thinkin I'm going to throw up alot before/if I get used to it...

[HMUSN]

you will get used to it in clinicals.


like I said.. it's hard to explain..

here is a senerio..

You see a jacked up animal on the road..and think.. eww a dead animal..

I see it and as I drive by I am thinking.. COOL look at those intenstines...

[Tiller88]

how does this have to do with poop?

I really dont think I can clean poop off someone....

[HMUSN]

like I said... you don't understand yet.. lol

it's a different mentality.

[Tiller88]

But see the thing Im worried about, the big concern I dont want to waste that 4 years if I cant do it...

But where if I go for the fire thing

I have some other options, Firefighter, EMT, or it will help me become a police officer because of the emt thing

Tiller-
I gotta tell you this. I have 2 RN's in my family. One is just done with school in Sarasota and worked at a assisted living facility for the last three years. He's just 22 years old.

He always was a puss. He gag'd at the sight of moldy cheese! Seriously. Dont panic. There are people out there that made it that were WAY WEEKER than you. Its like that with anything you do. Think about driving for example. Dont you think there are people out there with less hand eye coordination than you and yet they still drive everyday... safetly and with ease. Its no different. You will get used to it. I watched my brother in law go from pussy to damn good RN in a short period of time. He did go through a stage where he questioned what he was doing but he made it through. He joked a little about it a kept plugging (and wipping) away. For his age, I dont know anyone making the cash he is now. He has no problem with bodily stuff anymore. You can do it, dont worry.

[HMUSN]

all police officers need to have medical training..

if you can't do it? <--- there is your problem right there..

if you have to ask yourself if you can do it or not is setting you up for failure.

be honest.. what is the first thing that crosses your mind when you see this pic?

[JASonic]

Do you think anyone go's into that field and says "Cant wait to get my hands on some old ladies shit"? Nobody likes it but they get over it. Its what makes you a professional at what you do. Its the reason you will make good money and will always have work.

[Tiller88]

sierously the first thing... What happend whats the cause, what will fix it?

[HMUSN]

my first though was "sweet.. dudes got an std what a dumbass"

lol

because I know..

but if I didn't I would probably say the same as you.
