To all that have responded to my original questionn........thanks I am still looking. I went through some setbacks with hubby's health but am looking again and found something today that is more of a fast tract from RN to MT. I am wondering if anyone has heard of this? All of the courses are either degrees or take a year.........I can't see why this is necessary. I am a determined person that will push to get it done. I taught Anatomy myself so taking another course or two on that seems a waste of my time. Same with terms. However, I realize there are extreme advances in the medical field that would warrant a refresher type course in terminology. I also would love the legal and business part of the courses as well as use of the equipment used today (I did some MT subbing tons of years ago so know what is is like). In other words, use of Word as related to the MT job and the above I understand but this should be accomplished in months not a year or two. ANYONE WITH ANY INFO ON THIS PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THAT I GET NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL. On here is welcome too. I will be better at check this more often. I have a prayer blog I run so I am busy on it a lot. Thanks for all info.

i never post on here. i joined and don't even know why. then i got a message in my email and somehow ended up here. i read your post and altho this is quite a few months since then, i so understand! i taught nursing to lpn's in fl. i am now 67 and have been disabled with polyneuropathy for around 15 years. when i last worked, i also had 6-8 patients and as an rn had full patient care on a cardiovascular floor in a large hospital. i was only working part time but it about killed me. i had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and had to give it up. i felt overwhelmed because i always cared about my patients whole person. how can an rn on days (7-3) keep up iv sites, start iv's, give iv meds, give baths, make beds, make rounds with docs, do the paper work, etc. etc. and handle an emergency with capable hands? it isn't even possible so why try? i hate nursing now. i wish i had gone to school to be a journalist and done medical journalism instead. you r right........no wonder there is a nursing shortage and i have 2 granddaughters going in it. one is in school now but i told her! my son's wife is from the philippines and came here to nurse. she loves it!????:bowingpur

how sweet of you CitCat! Was very nice. I would love to tutor from home. I do have to work from home. Have looked for jobs on here but so many are such scams! I am a born teacher. I loved my Nursing Instructor position more than anything I have EVER done. I am a Christian also and have had an online ministry for 10 years. I am founder, President, Editor and counselor. I enjoy nursing the spirit man more than the physical one. So much is needed in that area! :balloons:

This is my first post. I have been disabled since '91. I kept my FL license even after we moved out of state @ hubby's retirement until this year when I turned 66. I am wanting to supplement our income with a modest amount only. Wondering what might be available with medical background. I taught Nursing Assistants, Unit Secretaries, and then LPN's for several years. I have crisis online and phone line background also. Anyone know of what type of job I might be able to find? I sure don't miss hospital work btw! Nursing has changed tremendously since the D. R. G's appeared. Hope to meet some of you online. RAVN
