  1. I'm an emt and do that for less. Quit griping. Crap.
  2. First week of nursing school and I am already freaking out...

    Anything is manageable if you work on time management skills. Its not an issue of 25 hours of work or the class load. This is very manageable for you.
  3. I am SO Depressed....

    Think of it as an opportunity to further your schooling. That's not a bad thing
  4. Gift for a preceptor?

    I think a new car sounds appropriate
  5. Should I just call it QUITS?

    2012 is a ways off. Lots of great things could happen between now and then. Don't let this one issue decide your fate.
  6. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    I have a buzz cut
  7. If I am at the hospital for any family (esp mom and dad) members and the nurse is rude to them esp post op...better be finding some boxing gloves because its game on.
  8. Grad school grades

    Graduate school is easier in my MBA and M.ED programs as well. I am starting to believe if you can get admitted you will pass
  9. The word NO

    No means Yes
  10. MBA/HM VS MSN/MBA/HM

    First off MBAs from anywhere other than an Ivy League will not do you a bit of good. Myself and so many others will attest to that. MBA is a dime a dozen. If you want a healthcare management emphasis find a state university and use their hospital....
  11. First off an EMT course is lots of time and energy. A 2 week course is not the best bang for your buck. You will learn a great deal in an EMT course but not in that short of time. Secondly, 1500 bucks is the cost of some Paramedic schools. An EMT...
  12. A 1500 dollar EMT Basic course is robbery. But EMT is the way to go
  13. what is considered a normal respiratory rate

    For an adult 12-20 is "normal"
  14. Man Considering Career Change To Nursing - Questions

    My opinion is get your EMT Basic certification (about 6 months) which costs roughly 700 bucks. A great way to decide if nursing is what you want
  15. I don't get all these NO comments. 40K annually is not to shabby. I've got an MBA and right now would work with less just get me a job. A 36 hour work week is fantastic. But whatever...
  16. Petite Nurses

    I am 6'9", 305"!bs. I think I last weighed 100lbs was when I was 8. I am in great physical shape but trying to find scrubs or any clothes is a pain in the arse. Either way don't let size bug you. :)
  17. Does god make mistakes?

    God is perfect and does not and has not made mistakes. The problem is people are blinded by what is in front of them to see Gods true beauty. Humans are vain looking for there own best interest without a pause to think should I do this and what rep...
  18. medical assitant: how much do they make?

    If you want variety outside of RNs check out EMS. EMT and Paramedics have tons of fun and the pay is pretty solid too
  19. Medical Assistant vs. CNA

    Get your EMT Basic
  20. MSN to MD program

    Not nearly enough science related subjects in nursing school. If you want an MD skip the masters and pursue a pre med backgound to help your chances
  21. MBA graduate wants nursing degree-ASN or BSN?

    So I have a BS and MBA and am debating the same thing here in kansas city. ADN or BSN who knows?!
  22. Going to Nursing School at Baker?

    If classes weren't in topeka I would apply there. I did my MBA at Baker in Overland Park and loved the school and atmosphere. Just sucks no one needs my business degrees so I am going into the very much in demand field of healthcare. Good luck!
  23. please help... blood pressure

    Go to a nursing home on a off day and ask them if you can do bp checks once a month on the elderly. That's how I learned. Old folks love that stuff plus its a new face to talk too
  24. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    Good chance I will just debating my options in my head before I make a firm decision on what's next.
  25. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    Question hoping for an answer. I have a BS and a MBA. Looking at nursing or respiratory therapy. Layoffs killed me in corporate america. Would my previous education with an Associates in Nursing (RN) be pretty strong for advancement if what I'm r...
