  1. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

    kharing replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would ignore the entire issue and wouldn't bother approaching this person. Similar gossip hounds are in my program. They seem to get caught up in everyone else's business. Ironically, these are...

  2. Shoes with Wheels! Would you want to try them?

    kharing replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in General Nursing

    Doubt those wheeled sneakers would be allowed. Think about how you would fair on a freshly mopped floor. Those sneakers don't have stoppers like the old school rollerskates!! I think if you are...

  3. What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    kharing replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The above statement was true for me as well. Learning proper microscope technique and metric conversions also was very helpful in Biology - if you are required to take it with a

  4. What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    kharing replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely take Biology first - not that I had a choice at my school. Biology and Chemistry were required before Micro, AP 1 and

  5. New grad RN base rate in NEVADA - las vegas???

    kharing replied to elladeedoy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here's a link to search in Nevada: All Nevada Hospital Openings and Hospital

  6. Why is the valve on the nonrebreather mask covered sometimes?

    kharing replied to Shell5's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Venturi masks are also designed to allow room air -like rebreathers and non rebreathers, but venturi is a high flow

  7. Ever Been Fired?

    kharing replied to lpnurse2004's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would recommend documenting what happened in this meeting and sending it to HR - just be careful! I'm just an RT student, but have seen similar situations as a tech in the past. Make sure you...

  8. Respritory therapy

    kharing replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    There's ALWAYS a student or two in every class that falls into that category regardless of the program! I just ignore them - but also make it clear that I am NOT one to be played with. I set...

  9. Respiratory therapy?

    kharing replied to westl's topic in General Nursing

    Airis, sounds like you found out that being an RT just wasn't for you. I'm glad you are able to find a career path that better suits you. I must be crazy, but the things that gross you out...

  10. Respritory therapy

    kharing replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    Time depends on the school you choose. The program I am in is five semesters of clinicals - not including pre/co requisite requirements and is considered an Associates

  11. Respiratory therapy?

    kharing replied to westl's topic in General Nursing

    RT jobs follow under "Allied Health" and are most likely found on a hospital's job web site. The jobs are there....in some states, RT's are even offered bonuses! If I had to wait until 2010, I would...

  12. Respiratory Disorders

    kharing replied to btown annie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm studying to be an RT.....I can't imagine just going through a brief overview of the respiratory system. (Funny how I "blew" over the system in A&P though!) What helps me before exams are...

  13. Those friends who are now in nursing school

    kharing replied to MikeyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People do grow apart...sorry about the loss of your friend/s. I just wanted to let you know my reasons for avoiding students in my school....it works for me. They may think I'm being snobby, but too...

  14. Those friends who are now in nursing school

    kharing replied to MikeyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh. I'm a soooo guilty of doing this! The reason? I can't carry other students to the Boards. I no longer have the time or the patience to listen to the handful of students that I considered...

  15. Wrong reasons

    kharing replied to oldshoes's topic in General Nursing

    I think most schools that can afford to advertise cost an arm and a leg for tuition. I know that Apollo College and PIMA are always on the tube - but I wouldn't be interested in attending either of...

  16. Respritory therapy

    kharing replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    Travel RT, working in home care...here's a link with more information.

  17. Respritory therapy

    kharing replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I work, but only on the weekends - my job is very flexible. Many students are offered jobs as RT techs after the first two semesters. I've chosen to work weekends to avoid getting more student...

  18. Respritory therapy

    kharing replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    I opted out of Nursing and into the RT program for several reasons. The main one being the clinical instructors in the Respiratory Therapy program - absolutely amazing. When I tried to get...

  19. Dilemma

    kharing replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with your registrar's office. At my school, if you drop certain lectures - you are automatically dropped from the lab too. That's four credits lost! Do you have the option of Pass/Fail? If...

  20. Tuition Prices

    kharing replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in New Mexico (Albuquerque) our prerequisites are a little over $40 per credit hour - but no more than $500 a semester. Once you finish your prereq's the nursing program is FREE!!!!! Think you...

  21. Dilemma

    kharing replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there any intensive classes that you can take to make up the lost credits. Also, do you have a lab with the Chemistry class? Dropping one might effect the other. I would opt to change the...

  22. Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    kharing replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a link to a discussion about loan payoff programs.... https://allnurses.com/forums/f121/ways-pay-off-your-nursing-loan-debt-176910.html I would stick it out! Keep in mind you probably will...

  23. Do you have a GED?????

    kharing replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    I'm originally from the East Coast, but moved to the Southwest a few years ago. (Being from a large metropolitan city, I had assumed that people that have GEDs dropped out of school.) I was...

  24. Thinking about NM

    kharing replied to katlover's topic in General Nursing

    If you are planning to move to Albuquerque I recommend moving to the Nob Hill/UNM neighborhood. It's a very open community and close to the major hospitals. Here's a link to the local pride page......

  25. Please help!!! LPN or RT?????

    kharing replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Nursing Career

    I am in school in Albuquerque and had to make a similar choice. The LPN/RN bridge program gave me a start date of Jan 2007, but I opted for the respiratory therapy program instead. The main...
