Hello everyone I am well aware that flight nurse is a common (quite exciting) profession. Hard to get into even. But, while I've heard of flight respiratory therapist, is it all that common? If I entered respiratory care with that dream would I be in...

Hello everyone I am starting college next month to work on my prerequisites for an ADN program and I also take care of my son who has moderate autism. His autism is actually what inspired this question. Is there an autism nursing specialty? If so on ...

Hi everyone, I am taking an intro class for respiratory care and a physics class for respiratory care. The classes are ok but I really liked a&p a lot better. I guess I like biology which is why I'm here! I'm not asking any of you to make my mind...

Hello everyone, I know this forum is for nurses past present and future, but I would like to hear from nurses about allied health professions. Reason being, well sometimes people in these professions suggest nursing. I am so very well aware tha...

Hey everybody, I'm 34, and a college freshman. Ughhh... anyway what I was planning on was nursing. But that wasn't always a dream of mine. About 10 or 12 years ago, when I first heard of it, I thought surgical tech sounded super cool. I never did any...

Lol ok I was just trying to put a little humor in it! And wishy washy is how I feel about it and thats exactly why I posted this to possibly help clear the fog. I know none of you can do that for me, I would just like to maybe hear a little more abou...

Thanks Shawn9111 thats what I was looking for. I was wondering how it might compare. I figured a&p 1 would be possibly a more in depth version of the intro. As in like knowing MORE of the bones and MORE of the muscles.

Hey everyone, I am currently taking an introductory A&P course called A&P Specialized. It is a lot of fun and pretty INTENSE. I have heard the A&P horror stories but I like it and if you study it isn't that terribly bad. I am curious how...

I know I have to also take A&P 1 &2 I just wondered how close an intro course is to those. The intro is required before a&p 1 at my school. I'm sorry if I said all of that wrong lol I just want to know what im in for.

Hi everyone, I have a question I am pondering. I currently attend a cc in tx and plan on applying to their adn program. From there I plan to go straight to a BSN from a university that they are partnered with. But I hear competition for the cc to get...

Well that does make sense LucScience I cannot even remember where I heard it was easier but I highly doubt people are ditching universities for community college lol I don't even know why I let myself think that. I guess I'm letting my nerves get the...

Hello everyone I start prereqs this month for nursing school! Yay! I had originally planned to do a one semester EMT program first so I signed up for medical terminology which was a prereq for EMT, but I have now opted out of EMT and medical terminol...

Purple_roses did what you learn in medical terminology help later at all? You know like when you relearn something you have an easier time than the first go-around? It would be great if it would hive me an advantage later but like you said I don't wa...

Ok thanks

Hello everyone, I know this is a nursing board but I have some questions about EMT and Respiratory therapy that I just don't think I could get better answers to anywhere else! I start community college next month for the first time. My eventual goal ...

Thanks for your reply! I do know that becoming an actual paramedic would be better but for two years I'm not quite ready maybe after my respiratory care program. I'm pretty set on EMT basic for now since I have that gap to fill and I'm not interested...

Hello everyone I am starting school for either nursing or respiratory I'm still indecided. Either way I will not meet the January start date with prereqs so I will have to go on and wait until January 2017:( I will however have time to complete the ...

Well thank you but how about respiratory therapy would cna or emt be best for that?

Hello all I am currently about to start school next month! I am going into either respiratory therapy or nursing I am undecided. My question to you all is do nurses and respiratory therapists get along? I know this may sound awful but I have read sev...

Hello everyone I am new here and seeking a bit of help/advice! I have recently applied to a local community college in hopes of getting into the respiratory therapy program next year. I am starting from scratch. My original plan was nursing until ab...

Ok good yall make it sound better I only got a bad impression from posts here and there and I'm sure they are mad and venting rather than it being an every day occurence.

Oh no im still gonna do one or the other I just wondered if it was really as bad as some of the posts I've seen which is probably just venting anyway, I just wondered if it was an ongoing thing or occasional. Thanks for replying!

Thank you all so much jobs look to be plenty for each! Naturally there are hundreds upon hundreds more for nurses but nursing is a much larger market. I needed this input. On another note I have read that the two professions tend to sometimes clash. ...

RT looks good here in TX as of now I've been following new job postings on indeed for several months and within an hours drive I always see plenty. Thank you for your help! I do get what you mean though since I had never heard of respiratory therapis...
