  1. Is nursing school really awful?

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

    Just want to be clear I wasn't trying to bash nursing in the above post. I went to an awful program and realized that nursing wasn't for me at the same time. I just want to let others know there are...

  2. Is nursing school really awful?

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

    Each school is different. Each person is different. I absolutely hated nursing school! I was so miserable and knew it wasn't for me. I did not have a good experience at all. I felt bullied by my...

  3. Tracheostomy

    MykRTstudent replied to RN2bfro76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for it !! As a current student in school for respiratory therapy, I love to see something like this! I was also born premature as well, one of the reasons that drove me to respiratory since I had a...

  4. respiratory therapist

    MykRTstudent replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Respiratory is definitely less physically demanding than nursing. Nurses cannot leave the patients bedside for their entire shift. Respiratory therapists travel around the hospital to various floors,...

  5. Switching from Nursing to Respiratory Therapy

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in General Students

    Currently in summer clinical of my respiratory therapy program. I love this field! So glad I switched from nursing. It feels great not having to clean up **** lol. I'm learning so much more and...

  6. Switching from Nursing to Respiratory Therapy

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I am considering switching from nursing to respiratory therapy after a bad experience with nursing school at a small private college. After two semesters of nursing school I was really turned off to...

  7. Nurse vs Respiratory Therapist

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

    To make a long story short: I was in nursing school for about a year and absolutely hated it. Once I stepped into clinical and had to bathe people, clean up **** and pretty much be a servant to the...

  8. Queens University Summer 2017 Start

    MykRTstudent replied to PirateRN_919's topic in School, College Programs

    Trust me, at the Queens Presbyterian school of nursing, they do NOT care about you. But they do care about making money off of you. Queens does a good job at making themselves look like such nice,...

  9. Queens University Summer 2017 Start

    MykRTstudent replied to PirateRN_919's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, I did get to clinicals. You do clinicals in each of the 4 semesters of the program. It's a hit or miss with your clinical instructor.. some are good, others are not. I wasn't so lucky with...

  10. Queens University Summer 2017 Start

    MykRTstudent replied to PirateRN_919's topic in School, College Programs

    I was in the traditional 2 year BSN track. Which was terrible enough. I can't imagine how awful the accelerated track must be, because I know it's with the same professors for the most

  11. Queens University Summer 2017 Start

    MykRTstudent replied to PirateRN_919's topic in School, College Programs

    I would advise anyone to stay far away from Queens University of Charlotte.. the cost alone should do it. I was in the nursing program for one year, the faculty are the most unsupportive, miserable...

  12. Should i even go back to nursing again?

    MykRTstudent replied to Lannister123's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey OP.. just wanted to share that I am in a very similar situation as you. I too am 23 years old (will be 24 this summer) and I had a very hard time in nursing school. I went to nursing school for a...

  13. Switching from Nursing to Respiratory Therapy

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all of your input!! And Cleback, yes, I was frustrated with that particular nursing program that I was in, and I do think that was a big part of what turned me off to nursing. However, I...

  14. Switching from Nursing to Respiratory Therapy

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in General Students

    Good to see that not all nursing students/nurses look down on RT's with an attitude of superiority like I was hearing from my former classmates. While respiratory therapy may not be as flexible a...

  15. Diploma/ADN vs. BSN

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First, let me say that I am NOT trying to offend anybody, or say that one type of program is better than the other, I just would like some insight on this topic. Do you feel that BSN programs are...

  16. Diploma/ADN vs. BSN

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just asked you not to respond if you aren't going to be helpful and be rude, that's all. I know that there is no such thing as an easy nursing program, they're all a lot of work. I know somebody...

  17. Diploma/ADN vs. BSN

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Really don't think I'm being offensive here. I acknowledged the fact that all graduates of nursing programs take the same NCLEX and obtain the same license. I also pointed out that diploma/ADN...

  18. TEAS Science?

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So I recently bought the TEAS V study manual, and I feel pretty comfortable with the reading, math, and English sections (I got most practice questions right in those sections). But the science...

  19. Anatomy and Physiology 1 grade?

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Last semester I completed Anatomy and Physiology 1 with a final grade of 78 (C+, so close to a B!) And now I'm enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology 2 this semester. I feel like I'm doing pretty well so...

  20. Any advice for A+P?

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I am a pre-nursing student that is currently taking pre-reqs at a community college. We're about one month into the semester now, and just yesterday I got my first exam grade for A+P 1. I got a...

  21. BSN Programs with spring admission?

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hi, I am currently studying for the TEAS for the nursing program at my community college, but if I can't get a high enough score, then I need a back-up plan (which is to transfer to a BSN program). So...

  22. Advice before taking the TEAS? (should I even bother?)

    MykRTstudent posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hi, I am 19 (almost 20), and nearing the end of my first year of college. The school I currently go to is called Delaware County Community College, and the nursing program there is very competitive....

  23. Advice before taking the TEAS? (should I even bother?)

    MykRTstudent replied to MykRTstudent's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you all for your input and advice. I guess I'll get the study guide and try the test as it would expand my options. What's the worst that can happen? Plus, If I can't get a high enough TEAS...

  24. A&P 1 &2 in the summer. Am I crazy?

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

    I'm thinking of taking A&P 1 over the summer too. I don't have any kids though. I'd say go for it if you're good at managing your time. Best of
