    Are there other options besides nursing?

    araew2129 replied to MeAnurse?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean like a different area of medicine? I'd say that radiological technicians and respiratory therapists would be similar. But a more narrow scope. There is a a lot of upward and lateral...

    HELP! I don't know about nursing anymore.

    araew2129 replied to lillxd3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
