    nkara replied to Memphis10....'s topic in General Students

    I've been out of school for over 20 years... the Anatomy class is killing me! but I have been using flashcards, I bought the anatomy coloring book and anatomy for dummies. I also bought a little...

  2. Am I just not smart enough?

    nkara replied to Valmondy's topic in General Students

    I'm almost in the same boat as the OP. I'm just starting my Anatomy class and I'm already stressing. I just see all the information and think.... "OMG can I really memorize all this stuff". I go to...

    Does anyone have knowledge on the respiratory therapy program at CCRI? I know it's a 2 year program but what is the semester's like? I am currently taking my pre-req's and just was curious how...

  4. RN or radiology technician

    nkara replied to aya123's topic in General Students

    radiology is a career that you are needed and also nursing. I have heard that radiology pays a little more than nursing but I'm not 100% sure. I would ask yourself this. Do you want to treat the...

  8. I really do not like going to work as a CNA everyday...what do I do?

    nkara replied to Duice88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is pretty funny. Well once you obtain your RN license don't think you won't be doing CNA type work. You will. I currently work as a CNA in a hospital and the work is still back breaking....

    nkara replied to LGiammarco09's topic in General Nursing

  11. Lost about becoming an RN.

    nkara replied to jhuynh510's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also do alot more research. This doesn't sound like the best place to obtain your education. You can use the pell, fafsa, etc at a community college. Most of the colleges now, at least where I...

    What a horrible experience for you and your family. I sure hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. I personally would investigage the incident. I'm not in a position to give legal advice however. I...

  16. LPN ROUTE or RN ROUTE??

    nkara replied to Mz phattie's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm glad you received some clear cut answers to this question. I know for me personally it's not worth me getting my LPN first. My state doesn't hire LPN's anymore unless I wanted to go into a LTC...

  17. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    nkara replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    nkara replied to Green1972's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  21. I want a pre-nursing job but I DON'T want to be a CNA. What else should I try? EMT-B?

  23. Possible new job, need advice please!!!....

    nkara replied to sunflower777's topic in Nursing Career

    I would talk to HR on that one. They can lower your pay in some cases but it all depends on the facility. I believe the hospital where I work the secretary's get paid less than CNA's so it doesn't...
