  2. respiratory therapist

    jennylee321 replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did consider respiratory therapy as a career option but I thought nursing offered more opportunity, which it did. Good thing I didn't become an RT because it is not a profession in many countries...

  3. respiratory therapist

    jennylee321 replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. I don't know if I still want to be a nurse?

    jennylee321 replied to hockeygirl1031's topic in General Students

    jennylee321 replied to OnTheSearch's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    jennylee321 replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    jennylee321 replied to tmjwe3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  16. Teaching paediatric resuscitation to nurses

    jennylee321 replied to Lisa1973's topic in General Nursing

    also look at PEARS, it is meant to be a lead in to PALS. It's not necessarily a resus course but more about recognising emergency situations. Either way look at the American Heart Association or...

    jennylee321 replied to afac1986's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    jennylee321 replied to Cerazo's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I can suggest is to see your OB, and if they can't help to make the nausea better ask them for a doctors note for school/work. You can only do so much, you won't be able to sustain...
