Stick with nursing. I'm an RT formerly who pursued nursing. Now going back to complete nursing. No upward mobility unless you go to nursing or PA school. PA school is highly competitive.

I purely did cheerleading only to get out of wearing uniforms at boarding school. I graduated valedictorian and any of my friends would have called me a nerd in high school. I was that weird and awkward girl! I was also an EMT in high school as well...

I applied everywhere. I had a total of 7 interviews. I had two job offers. I graduated in May 2016, passed my RRT in June, moved in October 2016. Home was saturated so I had no choice but to move.
Can you work while in school? I like the people I work with but it is a job not a career. Is there advancement for your other job? I have been out of nursing school for 7 years, but I know the time in RT will help me handle the nursing program and n...

Respiratory therapist going to nursing school here. Right now is flu season and RTs are often overloaded with treatments and often do not get to chart depending on system until after rounds. We can have anywhere 20-40 patients (not including the rest...
I recently was accepted into an accelerated program. My undergrad GPA was low but I took a year and a half extra classes and took hard science classes like biochem and ochem and got A's on them. There is hope!
I also have the idea of going to a different school to get a 2nd bachelors (first gpa wasn't bad, but not great-3.0, not competitive enough for grad school though most want a 3.2. Then going to Physician Assistant school. My cumulative GPA after the ...
I am sitting in a C in on class and C/D in another. Not because I'm not trying. I happened to have the most pickiest instructor down to the decimal in points. I have asked around what everyone is doing to study, gone to tutoring. A recent test grade...
Some people are on the 6 point scale. ANY little thing can screw you up on that scale. I'm sitting at the mid C range, praying I get B's in both of my classes. I however am much much better at skills than I am with testing in general. My name was pas...
I know I can't make anything less than an 80. I haven't been in a 6 point scale since high school!. I feel your pain. I wish my school had a part-time program.
