1. Respiratory therapy or biology degree

   akcw1981 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi everyone, I am taking an intro class for respiratory care and a physics class for respiratory care. The classes are ok but I really liked a&p a lot better. I guess I like biology which is why I'm here! I'm not asking any of you to make my mind...

4. Am I nuts?

   akcw1981 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everybody, I'm 34, and a college freshman. Ughhh... anyway what I was planning on was nursing. But that wasn't always a dream of mine. About 10 or 12 years ago, when I first heard of it, I thought surgical tech sounded super cool. I never did any...

5. A&P introductory vs. A&P 1

   akcw1981 replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks Shawn9111 thats what I was looking for. I was wondering how it might compare. I figured a&p 1 would be possibly a more in depth version of the intro. As in like knowing MORE of the bones and MORE of the muscles.

   akcw1981 replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know I have to also take A&P 1 &2 I just wondered how close an intro course is to those. The intro is required before a&p 1 at my school. I'm sorry if I said all of that wrong lol I just want to know what im in for.

7. A&P introductory vs. A&P 1

   akcw1981 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everyone, I am currently taking an introductory A&P course called A&P Specialized. It is a lot of fun and pretty INTENSE. I have heard the A&P horror stories but I like it and if you study it isn't that terribly bad. I am curious how...

8. Cc or university

   akcw1981 replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well that does make sense LucScience I cannot even remember where I heard it was easier but I highly doubt people are ditching universities for community college lol I don't even know why I let myself think that. I guess I'm letting my nerves get the...

10. Medical terminology or not?

    akcw1981 replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Purple_roses did what you learn in medical terminology help later at all? You know like when you relearn something you have an easier time than the first go-around? It would be great if it would hive me an advantage later but like you said I don't wa...

    akcw1981 posted a topic in Flight

    Hello everyone I am well aware that flight nurse is a common (quite exciting) profession. Hard to get into even. But, while I've heard of flight respiratory therapist, is it all that common? If I entered respiratory care with that dream would I be in...

    akcw1981 replied to akcw1981's topic in Texas

    Thanks for your reply! I do know that becoming an actual paramedic would be better but for two years I'm not quite ready maybe after my respiratory care program. I'm pretty set on EMT basic for now since I have that gap to fill and I'm not interested...
