1. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

   LMTtoRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

   I would have to say yes. I'm a new RN, but have over 30 years experience with alternative therapies. There have been multiple occasions over the last 6 years as a practicing massage therapist that I have worked on a client, "known" that something wa...

2. Can a nurse make massage therapy a full-time career?

   LMTtoRN replied to workingmomRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

   I've been a massage therapist for 6 years and just graduated with my ADN in May. I am not yet working as an RN, but am in negotiations with a small local rehab facility. My massage practice is doing well, and I don't plan to stop practicing as an LMT...

3. Socialized Medicine: The Argument to Support Moving Forward

   LMTtoRN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   So people think that socialized medicine is free? Who do you think pays for it? Where do you think the money comes from? TAXES....and people think that its so economical? What has changed? Surely not just because government runs it....Governments...

5. Three Rivers ADN program

   LMTtoRN replied to JBMmom's topic in Connecticut

   Excellent! That is a good first move. Yes, the four semesters are regular school semesters. You will not have clinicals over breaks etc. unless you get a summer internship (which is highly recommended). Overall, I was happy with the training. My clas...

7. Three Rivers ADN program

   LMTtoRN replied to JBMmom's topic in Connecticut

   I just graduated from Three Rivers ADN program in May. You won't get any answers unless you go to an info session. That's just how they operate. They'd prefer the interactive process of Q&A sessions to online or telephone contact. It's a beautifu...

8. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

   LMTtoRN replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

   I know the feeling. I'm applying for my seat in the class of 2009 this year. By the time next spring arrives, I'll have ALL of my pre-requisites and co-requisites done. I'm 48. By the time I graduate I'll be 51, then on it will be for that BSN. I won...

   I'm a pre-nursing student about to start my second semester. I work as a massage therapist with rehab-type soft-tissue injuries, and I also work with a few folks with varying neurological disorders (Parkinsons, MS, ALS) I'm VERY interested in neurosc...

10. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

11. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    LMTtoRN replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in high school (over 30 years ago) the guidance counselors (well-intended albeit misguided) discouraged me from pursuing nursing school because I struggled with math concepts. Being young and impressionable, I took their advice and became ...

    LMTtoRN replied to nurseyperson's topic in Entrepreneurs

    I'm going to TRCC full time this fall working towards the ADN, once I pass the NCLEX and am working as a nurse, I'll move onto somewhere for the BSN -- I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!! One step at a time, otherwise, I might trip!

    I'm a CT LMT starting my pre-req classes as well!! I'm very excited to be taking this path into health care. So many threads to follow, I thought I'd at least say hello. I currently work for a chiropractic office. We use therapeutic massage, cranios...

14. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    LMTtoRN replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

    According to the nurses I have questioned regarding the ADN/BSN debate, it's all about upgrading the profession. Personally, I plan to go for my BSN once I'm working as a nurse anyway. The hospitals want you to attain that level of education so that ...

    LMTtoRN replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

    It used to happen to me when I was in massage school, too. This program is better than that one because blah, blah, blah. I've met MTs from many programs who were exellent therapists, and some who didn't know their ischial tuberosity from their epico...
