undecided

Having had quite a few plastic surgery procedures myself, I am very interested in plastic surgery. I would love to work in an office administering botox and fillers, and doing other types of non surgical treatment. My question is, how does one brea...

I am so confused. I wanted for years to go the PA route but the route seemed too difficult ( three years full time) to complete while raising three kids with a husband that is so- so supportive. I did not pursue the nursing route because honestly- ...

I know that many other states have direct entry master level programs. Are there any in NJ? Thanks Monica

There are two NJ schools and both are three years including summers. In my field, the jobs are very, very scarce- there are no per diem weekend jobs. The best I can do is that I am doing right now- work a few days a week here and there. If I go th...

I actually have all my nursing pre-req's. I am a couple classes short for the PA prereqs . THere are a couple bridge programs which are like a class or two for RNs who have a bachelors in another field. David- I have been all over the map looking at...

I have a BA ( plus some post grad work) so going for a BSN over a ADN would make more sense. That being said, I think I will go for the ADN first and then take a bridge program to transition from an RN with a non nursing bachelors to an MSN. THe re...

I am thinking of applying to the evening program at CCM. How many days /wk are you in clinical? What are the hours? advantages/disadvantages? Thanks Monica

Yeah, I have seen her. She looks tough and that is what I have heard. I live in Morris county right down the road from CCM/ I took all my science classes there - 4.0 GPA. Maybe I will see her tonight. If I need to take any classes- I can do it in...

Thanks for the quick reply, I work 2-3 days a week in the medical field and I usually have a lot of free time so studying 2-4 hours a day would not be a problem. Two days of clinical does not sound bad. In my last program , I had to do 4 days of...

I am a nuc med tech thinking of making the switch to nursing also for a variety of reasons-number one being that there are NO jobs in Nuc med. Its been that way since I graduated two years ago. I work per diem (2-3) days a week but have been looking...

I am in a predicament. I want to apply to CCM which is 5 minutes from my house and has an evening nursing program. My problem is that my A&P 1 class is over 7 years old . I am not sure about A&P 2 and Microbiology. IT is ridiculous. I a...

I am a Nuc Med tech and considering going into Nursing. I really like my job but things are very slow. I graduated two years ago and the market is really bad. The number if Nuc Med studies seems to be diminishing . I am per diem and so my work is...

Let me preface by saying I am not a nurse so I hope you do not mind me posting here but I have no other forums to turn to. I have a background in Nuclear Medicine. I want to break into clinical research but everyone wants someone with experience. ...

This is to the OP. If you want /need extra money ( believe me, I have three kids and know the feeling of wanting to do what you love vs making enought money to be comfortable) why not try either opening up a private practice on the side or hooking ...

I don't post often but do not know where else to turn. I am looking for an entry level position in clinical research trials. My background is a BA with years of experience in a corporate enviroment and I am a licensed Nuclear medicine technologist ...

I am not a nurse but was thinking of it. I changed careers in my late 30's after working in insurance for 8 years and staying home to raise kids for another 10. I would not do it for the money. If you hate parts of your job , then any amount of mo...

I attended that school last year . Graduated this year in NUclear Medicine. It was a terrible school and I would not recommend it to anyone. The Dean tryed to cover up alot of bad things that were going on with the program. We went 9 months witho...

I went to school full time last year . ( 39 , mother of 3). It was in Nuclear Medicine technology which may or may not be as demanding as nursing. It was very hard to balance family/school. I had to complete 1000 clinical hours which was like wor...

I was wondering if any of you nurses were previously rad techs and why you decided to switch into nursing. How do the two fields compare? advantages? disadvantages? I am graduating in Jan with a degree in Nuc med. There are not many jobs and while ...

I am a nuclear med tech student ( graduating in Jan) and I am thinking about switching to nursing. I find Nuc med to be very boring. I love finding veins and injecting patients and I like mixing the radioactive substances and making kits. I like m...

Hi everyone. let me preface by saying I am an alliled health student ( nuc med tech) . Since there are no forums for my healthcare speciality, I hope it is okay for me to seek advice, opinions on this forum. Right now, I am in a bad place. I am que...

Thanks for all your replies and understanding. It helps to talk to other women who can empathise. I had a long talk with a fellow student who is much more mature and she helped me gain some insight. She spent several months at this clinical site a...

Hi all, I need your help. I need to write a research paper comparing the Candian , UK and US healthcare systems. For instance, how is insurance funded? Is there any private insurance? How long is the wait to see a specialist or get a procedure? ...

No, I would never base a research paper just on replies I received on a message board. Sorry if that was the way it was intrepreted. I have done hours and hours of research on the subject. Alot of the information I have come across is biased one w...

Thank you Pamela Jean; That is very helpful. Long wait times seem to be the common complaint among countries that offer universal healthcare ( for example , the U.K). I agree with you about the two tier system. In fact, I had to write a research p...
