  1. Got kicked out of nursing school

    MykRTstudent replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

    I don’t know how long it has been since the last time you were in school, but your information is not accurate. Plenty of people get accepted into nursing programs after being unsuccessful in...

  2. Got kicked out of nursing school

    MykRTstudent replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

    This is not true. I’ve met four people throughout my schooling who all failed out of nursing programs, got accepted into another program, and have graduated. They are now all working as nurses. What...

  3. Queens University Charlotte BSN Applicants- Fall 2019

    MykRTstudent replied to NCSUrn97's topic in School, College Programs

    Fair enough, the choice to go there is certainly your right. Keep in mind that “hearing good things” is purely subjective. I just wanted to let people know that the program did have a lot of...

  4. Queens University Charlotte BSN Applicants- Fall 2019

    MykRTstudent replied to NCSUrn97's topic in School, College Programs

    Former Queens student here, let me just give my two cents, and that is stay away from this program. It is a mess and has mean, incompetent, unsupportive professors. Just take a look at the extremely...

  5. How competitive is Queens University of Charlotte, NC when applying for a BSN?

    MykRTstudent replied to mehidunno11111's topic in School, College Programs

    I was a student in Queens traditional BSN program 4 years ago- what an absolutely horrible program!! I’m not sure if that’s changed, but I’d be surprised if it has. I have never in my life seen...

  6. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, exactly. This is the best place to be in my opinion. The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive. However, from my own experience, those who are solely in it to make money burn out quickly and...

  7. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    Not trying to bash anyone at all.. but with comments as ridiculous as the OP has made, it really makes me wonder what their motive is and if nursing is really for them. Hence the mostly negative...

  8. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    Just caught this added info. Wow. Please don’t go into health care. You clearly are in it for a paycheck. I’ve seen a big difference in those who are in it for money vs. those who actually want to...

  9. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    MykRTstudent replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok, so usually I try my hardest not to judge people based on these posts and/or tell them what to do in life, but are you really sure nursing is for you? You state that you’re tired of changing...

  10. Nursing VS Respiratory Care

    MykRTstudent replied to w0ntonsoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh.. really? “respiratory tech”? Come on, as a nurse you should know that’s not the proper title. It’s respiratory therapist. That’s like referring to an RN as a “nursing assistant”.

  11. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    It's true that many hospitals now prefer nurses with a BSN. After you get your ADN and take the NCLEX, you are still a registered nurse. My advice would be to enroll in an RN-BSN program as soon as...

  12. End of semester! How did everyone do?

    MykRTstudent replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in General Students

    I'm in school to be a respiratory therapist. This semester I did very well! Got an A in cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology, and an A in Advanced Respiratory care procedures (learning about ABGs, PFTS) ....

  13. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    I say go the community college route. At this point you've probably already spent a lot of money on school and a CC associates degree program will be much cheaper than most BSN programs. Also, I've...

  14. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    MykRTstudent replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    My suggestion would be to look for a community college associates degree program in your area and go from there. This makes the most sense financially, and I've found that CC programs are usually more...

  15. Dropped out of ASN Program. Advice?

    MykRTstudent replied to Isa95's topic in School, College Programs

    No judgment here at all, I was in your position actually! I was in nursing school for two semesters (one year), realized I hated it, and left myself. Good for you that you were able to realize what...

  16. Are nurses and doctors equal?

    MykRTstudent replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    Of course not. Most nursing programs are two years long. Doctors have to do four years of undergrad, then another four years of medical school (which is waaaay more competitive/cut throat than nursing...

  17. Failed nursing school at last sem

    MykRTstudent replied to Angel1989's topic in General Students

    Where are you exactly, what state? You will likely have to start from scratch in another program, as most of the time nursing courses do not transfer to other institutions. I know this really sucks,...

  18. Nurse vs Respiratory Therapist

    MykRTstudent replied to Lost and Found's topic in General Students

    True, good points you're making, thanks for that. I love the field of respiratory care so far, the lack of respect/recognition is something I hope changes in the future. Many nursing schools fail to...

  19. Want to go back after failing nursing school

    MykRTstudent replied to Dash87's topic in General Students

    Yes, unfortunately RT is an underrated and under appreciated field. Even as a student I can see it. Also in clinical I am sometimes mistaken for a nurse by patients, that part really bothers me lol....

  20. Want to go back after failing nursing school

    MykRTstudent replied to Dash87's topic in General Students

    Just wondering, are you unhappy with being a RRT? Or do you just really want to be a nurse? I only ask because I'm currently in school for respiratory and I love it so far. It seems to be a great...

  21. Nursing VS Respiratory Care

    MykRTstudent replied to w0ntonsoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, having been in school for both, I can say that RT is easier than nursing. But still it is not easy by any means. Like nursing, it requires lots of studying/practice outside of class. The big...

  22. Nursing VS Respiratory Care

    MykRTstudent replied to w0ntonsoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's really up to you. What do you want to do? I can relate to you somewhat as I was first in nursing school, hated it, and then switched to respiratory. I love respiratory and am sure it's a better...

  23. Nurse vs Respiratory Therapist

    MykRTstudent replied to Lost and Found's topic in General Students

    Didn't mean to "antagonize" anybody, apologies if I did, that certainly wasn't my intention. And of course I know that nurses's scope of practice is well beyond the cleaning below the waist stuff, but...

  24. Mom Wants Me to Become an RN as Backup... But I Don't

    MykRTstudent replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you truly don't feel called to nursing then don't go to nursing school. It's not worth the money, stress, and time. I went to nursing school for a year and realized it wasn't for me after the fact....

  25. Is nursing school really awful?

    MykRTstudent replied to makykh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True, everyone's experience is very different actually. You're lucky that you had supportive instructors, I wish I could say the same. I went to a terrible disorganized nursing program and the...
