  1. Shoe recommendations?...for clinicals?

    I am going into my senior year of an RT program, but I love shoes so I thought I'd chime in. It basically depends on how much you would like to spend. My school doesn't care what type of shoes you have as long as they are safe (closed shoe) and ALL w...
  2. What Stethoscope do I purchase for nursing school?

    Hey there, I'm not sure if you have purchased your stethoscope already but I wanted to put in my 2 cents . I am currently in my final year of school to be an RT. I received my Littmann Classic II SE as a gift prior to beginning clinicals, and I absol...
  3. What do you nurses think of these allied health professionals?

    As an aspiring RT, I am always open to advice if you guys/ladies have any! I know during clinicals I have always loved the contact I do get to have with the nurses. Most of them are very sweet and offer words of encouragement when they know I am stre...
  4. NEED HONEST ADVICE

    I am not a nurse, but I am currently in a respiratory care program. I am loving it so far! The curricula of either program will challenge you, but it is do-able. As for RTs being unrespected and underpaid... I think both of these statement are false....
  5. how many cna's plan to continue their education?

    I am a respiratory care major, and I love it!! I decided to get my CNA last winter so I could have a steady job while I'm in school. It is a lot of work, but I don't regret it because it is also very rewarding. Before I started college I also thought...
  6. Agreeing to extra hours

    I have worked at a nursing home for 6 weeks now. When I was hired, I told my employer I would like to work three 8-hour shifts per week. Since I was hired as part-time, I was told this would not be a problem. However, I have been scheduled to work 4 ...
  7. Second Shift CNAs (3-11) I have a question

    I work second shift from 2-10 and I love it. I was never interested in morning shift because I am NOT a morning person. The only downside is it can be hard to make time for a social life working seconds, but the way my facility has it set up you only...
  8. How did you do on the TEAS?

    Does anyone know how long it takes to get your TEAS test restuls once you take it? I hear at some campuses, it gives you your scores immediately and at others you have to wait a few weeks to get the scores in the mail.
  9. Do you ever think of going the EMT/Paramedic route?

    Have you looked into any allied health professions (xray tech, surgical tech, respiratory therapy, physical therapy assistant)? Many of these jobs are in demand, start out around $30,000-35,000 per year, and only require an associate's degree.
  10. Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

    That makes sense, thanks :) I went to a nursing info session last semester, and unfortunately I couldn't remember how they said the application process worked. My initial college plan was to enroll in the respiratory care program. However, I have bee...
  11. Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

    So what if you want to apply for both programs?
  12. Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

    Does anyone know if the application deadline is different for the ASN and LPN programs?
  13. I got the license. Now, how do I get the job?

    I know around here it is usually harder to get hired at a hospital than a LTC. I received my CNA a few weeks ago, and I am still job searching as well. The problem I have been running in to is that most places prefer CNAs with experience. I hear that...
  14. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    I took my CNA test for the first time today and passed! I am so excited that I can get a "real" job now, lol. The written test was actually a bit harder than I had anticipated. It seemed like there were many trick questions. The skills test, on the ...
  15. Online CHEM101/BIOL201 - Summer

    I am taking Chem 101 online through SB this semester. It has been pretty easy. There is a lot of math involved & I love math though. I also like the online labs better because not as many things can go wrong as with a real life lab. Also, everyth...
