  1. Having Hard time with A&P 1.

    I've been out of school for over 20 years... the Anatomy class is killing me! but I have been using flashcards, I bought the anatomy coloring book and anatomy for dummies. I also bought a little recorder and I'm recording my lectures. I'm taking al...
  2. Am I just not smart enough?

    I'm almost in the same boat as the OP. I'm just starting my Anatomy class and I'm already stressing. I just see all the information and think.... "OMG can I really memorize all this stuff". I go to class twice a week and have lab once a week. Plus...
  3. Does anyone have knowledge on the respiratory therapy program at CCRI? I know it's a 2 year program but what is the semester's like? I am currently taking my pre-req's and just was curious how I'll co-ordinate my work/school schedule once I get...
  4. RN or radiology technician

    radiology is a career that you are needed and also nursing. I have heard that radiology pays a little more than nursing but I'm not 100% sure. I would ask yourself this. Do you want to treat the patient for your 8 or 12 hour shift with what they ...
  5. NO! I am able to sign a declination letter for both the regular flu shot and the H1N1 vaccine.
  6. What's the Baylor Program?

    that's how it is where I work but they have done away with it. Few RN's are grandfathered in and if they leave it they don't get it back.
  7. CNA Salary?

    I'm in RI and it ranges anywhere from $9 hr for ltc to $15 hr for hospital work.
  8. This is pretty funny. Well once you obtain your RN license don't think you won't be doing CNA type work. You will. I currently work as a CNA in a hospital and the work is still back breaking. Nurses still change patients as well as pass out meds....
  9. Job search for a new grad

    I am very happy I decided to change my major to Respiratory Therapist. I have a seasoned RRT who I work with who is relocating to FL and he has been offered a min of 10 jobs. I will have no problem when I graduate with my degree. Good luck to all...
  10. RRT vs RN

    Yes I know there are other threads about this but I wanted more opinions from you on this. I am enrolled in a nursing program but I am seriously considering switching to the respitory therapy program instead. I am currently only taking my pre=req's s...
  11. Lost about becoming an RN.

    I would also do alot more research. This doesn't sound like the best place to obtain your education. You can use the pell, fafsa, etc at a community college. Most of the colleges now, at least where I live, aren't using the wait list anymore. They ar...
  12. Want to make my own scrubs...

    Walmart has patterns. I work with a woman who has her mother make scrubs for her and they are cute.
  13. I cant decide on nursing or not please help

    1. How much can I expect to earn with an ADN degree fresh out of school with no experience here in Houston TX. I beleive the answers above cover that question 2. Is it possible to ONLY work days? I dont think I can handle a night shift. I have sleep ...
  14. Contaminated Scrubs..do you wear scrubs to the stores

    ah yes.. germaphobes becoming nurses. gotta love it. I personally work till 7:30 am.. if I don't run errands before I get home forget it. I'm too damn tired to do it after.
  15. Mercy Killing

    What a horrible experience for you and your family. I sure hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. I personally would investigage the incident. I'm not in a position to give legal advice however. I know in my families case the doctors and nurses ta...
