  5. Should I do more??

    I work in a clinic and back staff (RN's, MA's and techs) aren't even TAUGHT how to answer the phones. We also aren't allowed to book appointments, that is strictly a reception duty (we can look at...

    Sweet ride for an 18 year old =) Seriously, if you're making that sort of payment already, keep doing what you're doing and forget nursing
  9. Oh honey, please rethink this!!! I got my entire RN done for less than what you're proposing! I didn't even know there WERE PCT classes, to be honest. If you really are considering this route,...

    Wow. Your 5th post and you played this card. May be a new record! And perhaps HIGHLY inaccurate. You have no way of knowing that any of us here are actual

    With a confirmed RN, no? We could be 12 year old boys or ex-cons on house arrest getting our jollies by posting on this forum. You just don't

    Angel med makes me think that the mortality rate of your service is high---like many of their patients get their wings while in the back of that ambulance. Maybe that's just me

    I asked that earlier of OP, clearly he's above CNA duties AND following TOS. I wasn't going to point it out again, because I'm guessing that this poster will be Johnny on the spot with

    Seriously? You're talking about a buck and change. This should NOT be the deciding factor in choosing between these two
  24. i dislike med surg
