  1. Any rad-techs out there?

    Livinstrong85 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi everyone...since I have been thinking about Rad-tech, I was wondering if someone in the field could give me some advice. I initially wanted to do MRI or CT, and the hospital where I work...

  2. Any rad-techs out there?

    Livinstrong85 replied to Livinstrong85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Eagle, were you a radiographer first, or did you go right into radiation therapy? I mean, where I would be applying to is a huge university/hospital (Jefferson)..I can't imagine they'd offer these...

  5. Medical Terminology Course

    Livinstrong85 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hey everyone, So I'm not going to nursing school anymore, (I decided on Rad Tech...MRI specifically ..Jefferson's accelerated program for individuals who already have a bachelor's and the pre-reqs),...

  6. Medical Terminology Course

    I actually just decided to take it. My work will pay for the class anyway I just realized, and it could be interesting. Can't hurt, I

  7. Medical Terminology Course

    Livinstrong85 replied to Livinstrong85's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank for your reply. I didn't attend Nursing school though, I was thinking about it, but then decided on MRI. I have a feeling it is gonna be really easy and even though it would be an easy A, I...

  8. Nursing or X ray Tech?

    Livinstrong85 replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to say thank you for your post ctnjason...I've been on the fence for a while now about whether to become a radiology tech. I wanted to be a nurse originally, and then I realized that,...

  9. What's the difference between medicine and nursing?

    Livinstrong85 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading a post recently where several people seemed to be agitated that someone called something in nursing "medical." I understand the fields are different, but really, are they THAT different...

  10. What's the difference between medicine and nursing?

    Livinstrong85 replied to Livinstrong85's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your responses. I can assure you, I wasn't trying to start a fight. I just honestly did not see such a huge difference, like some people make it out to be. I obviously know that...

  12. Male Doctor vs Male Nurse and intimate female procedures

    Livinstrong85 posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a male going to nursing school soon, and I don't have any worries about working on female patients whatsoever. I will do what I have to do, and if they have a problem with it, then ok, but I'm...

  13. Male Doctor vs Male Nurse and intimate female procedures

    Livinstrong85 replied to Livinstrong85's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. That's kind of bothersome to me, however. I don't feel like I should have to have a female present for any procedure, especially if the patient is comfortable with me. I know...

  14. Med-Surg to ICU?

    Livinstrong85 replied to dani9206's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've heard (I'm not a nurse yet, will be going to school soon), you only need a year of telemetry or med-surg before you can be considered for a specialty like ICU or ER, etc. Just show...

  15. New to ER nursing....wondering if I made a huge mistake?

    Livinstrong85 replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stick with it. You are definitely at a disadvantage b/c you weren't a telemetry or med-surg nurse first. Doing that for a year is a HUGE advantage b/c you see a lot of everything and get a lot of...

  16. 2nd bachelor's degree accelerated nursing

    Livinstrong85 replied to dlammons7076's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you are in an accredited program at an accredited university, you ARE eligible for federal funding. The fact that it is a 2nd degree should have no bearing on that. Not sure why you think...

  17. Was so impressed with my patient yesterday and not so impressed with the family

    Livinstrong85 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't have anything to do with this thread, but I didn't know how else to figure this out....I am a new member and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to start a NEW thread. I obviously...
