Have you considered OR nursing or PACU? Based on your post, I think these two areas may appeal to you. Also, if your going to get your RN, you should plan on getting your BSN. Otherwise, I think you may have limited options.

If that is the night program, what are the hours for the day program? Did they say why they are changing the night program to something so early?

I do believe there are just too many nurses. Period. This is another reason to make BSN the entry level to practice. The American Association of Respiratory Therapists just announced their plan to implement the the bachelors in respiratory therapy ...

I have a family member that uses a chiroprater as there regular doctor. And by that I mean, she brings herself and the 3 kids there for wellness check ups. Im sorry but I firmly believe those 3 kids should be seeing a medical professional (md, pa, ...

They said they wanted to jump you and fight you????? WTH, is this 2nd grade or a place of employment? I would go to the DON and let them know what physical violence was threatened and you are feeling this is a hostile work environment and you want ...

I am hoping things go your way DUIRN. Please keep us updated...

No this is not normal.... at least not in my marriage.

Didnt everyone learn that lesson by third grade??

What did you get Dave? Sending positive wishes and thoughts that you got the score you needed.

Are they doing away with the LPN program? When you click on the link for LPN, it says "program not found"...

So chemistry is no longer needed to apply to the program?

Welcome to LTC and nursing homes. Although some will say that all nursing homes are not like the one you experienced, In MY experiences, every single nursing home was exactly like you describe. Its so sad and disgusting, you end up crying or quitt...

Can I ask you KCAmbition, who did you take for BIO 250? Ive been hearing how hard that class is and I cant decide who I should take for it. I wont be ready to take bio 250 for 2 more semester yet but am getting anxious about it already lol. Good lu...

Forgive my ignorance as I really don't know much at all about advance practice nursing. I was wondering, can CARN-AP (certified addictions registered nurses, advance practice) prescribe meds? Or are only NP's allowed to prescribe?

That chick is weird. Stay away....very far away... Dont give her a reason to be upset with you because you never know what a loose canon like her is capable of but just quietly exit her life all together.

Would going back to school help at all? Maybe for respiratory therapy or radiography? Maybe those positions would be more suited to an introvert? I would think they would have less responsibility. Or you could look on craigslist for home health p...

Hi all, I am very introverted. I just find having to constantly interact or socialize with people all the time to be exhausting. Ive always been like this and have come to accept it and would like to choose a career wisely knowing that this is how ...

lol np nbs45414. I completely understand and am glad you asked the question. I would also think jobs such as respiratory therapist and radiologic technologist would be jobs that would be good for introverts as well, as they spend a short amount of...

At my doctors office, none of the staff (excluding the pa and md) have their credentials on their name badges..just the name. I too think this is on purpose. Everyone looks the same (is in scrubs) and everyone walks around with no identification o...

In your opinion and based on your own experiences, which profession has the most autonomy: Nursing, Respiratory Therapy or Radiologic Technologist? Thanks in advance.

I am following this thread and wondered if there was any updated news. Is there still talk about deregulating the profession or has that been squashed? Does anyone know of a decent RT forum?
