    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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...

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  7. NEED HONEST ADVICE

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to Dreamer74's topic in Pulmonary

    RespiratoryGirl011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Second Shift CNAs (3-11) I have a question

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to Ling07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    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...

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to IndyIvy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to RNwntaB's topic in Indiana Nursing

  19. Need a study website for A&P 2

    RespiratoryGirl011 replied to RN2Be77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to look in your textbook for a website. Many publishers have websites that correlate with the information from an exact textbook. Also, check to see if your book came with a CD. Not...

  20. LTC Benefits Package

    RespiratoryGirl011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
