1. Got kicked out of nursing school

   MykRTstudent replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

   I don’t know how long it has been since the last time you were in school, but your information is not accurate. Plenty of people get accepted into nursing programs after being unsuccessful in another program. Yes, there are some schools that are stri...

2. Got kicked out of nursing school

   MykRTstudent replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

   This is not true. I’ve met four people throughout my schooling who all failed out of nursing programs, got accepted into another program, and have graduated. They are now all working as nurses. What a discouraging piece of advice for the OP. Anyway ...

3. Queens University Charlotte BSN Applicants- Fall 2019

   MykRTstudent replied to NCSUrn97's topic in School Programs

   Fair enough, the choice to go there is certainly your right. Keep in mind that “hearing good things” is purely subjective. I just wanted to let people know that the program did have a lot of problems not long ago and had very poor statistics. I hope ...

4. Queens University Charlotte BSN Applicants- Fall 2019

   MykRTstudent replied to NCSUrn97's topic in School Programs

   Former Queens student here, let me just give my two cents, and that is stay away from this program. It is a mess and has mean, incompetent, unsupportive professors. Just take a look at the extremely high attrition rate- that should say enough. There ...

5. How competitive is Queens University of Charlotte, NC when applying for a BSN?

   MykRTstudent replied to mehidunno11111's topic in School Programs

   I was a student in Queens traditional BSN program 4 years ago- what an absolutely horrible program!! I’m not sure if that’s changed, but I’d be surprised if it has. I have never in my life seen a group of more miserable, negative, unsupportive profes...

6. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

   MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Career Support

   Yes, exactly. This is the best place to be in my opinion. The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive. However, from my own experience, those who are solely in it to make money burn out quickly and don’t last very long in the field, or even in nursin...

7. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

   MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Career Support

   Not trying to bash anyone at all.. but with comments as ridiculous as the OP has made, it really makes me wonder what their motive is and if nursing is really for them. Hence the mostly negative responses in this thread by many. Of course making a l...

8. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

   MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Career Support

   Just caught this added info. Wow. Please don’t go into health care. You clearly are in it for a paycheck. I’ve seen a big difference in those who are in it for money vs. those who actually want to make a difference and help people. The way you write ...

9. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

   MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Career Support

   Ok, so usually I try my hardest not to judge people based on these posts and/or tell them what to do in life, but are you really sure nursing is for you? You state that you’re tired of changing diapers and being exhausted. Bad news- you’re not going ...

10. Nursing VS Respiratory Care

    MykRTstudent replied to w0ntonsoup's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ugh.. really? “respiratory tech”? Come on, as a nurse you should know that’s not the proper title. It’s respiratory therapist. That’s like referring to an RN as a “nursing assistant”. ??‍♂️

11. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    It's true that many hospitals now prefer nurses with a BSN. After you get your ADN and take the NCLEX, you are still a registered nurse. My advice would be to enroll in an RN-BSN program as soon as you get your ADN, many of those programs are online,...

12. End of semester! How did everyone do?

    MykRTstudent replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in General Students

    I'm in school to be a respiratory therapist. This semester I did very well! Got an A in cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology, and an A in Advanced Respiratory care procedures (learning about ABGs, PFTS) . Both classes were tough. I'm almost done, graduati...

13. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    I say go the community college route. At this point you've probably already spent a lot of money on school and a CC associates degree program will be much cheaper than most BSN programs. Also, I've found that community college programs tend to be mor...

14. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    My suggestion would be to look for a community college associates degree program in your area and go from there. This makes the most sense financially, and I've found that CC programs are usually more accepting toward/willing to take students that we...

15. Dropped out of ASN Program. Advice?

    MykRTstudent replied to Isa95's topic in School Programs

    No judgment here at all, I was in your position actually! I was in nursing school for two semesters (one year), realized I hated it, and left myself. Good for you that you were able to realize what you don't want- why waste all that time and money on...
