Health Care

After I get my bachelors in bio I want to get certified as a radiology tech. Is it a waste to continue my biology degree or will it help me in the future? I want to go into neuroradiology if possible, or specialize in ultrasounds.

Im thinking about going to school to become a RN i already have my CNA i got it a few years ago and honestly i didnt like being a CNA cause i was working at a nursing home was not my thing. (i didnt like how they treated the elderly) I made good grades when i was going to classes for CNA. My question is math has always been a very weak subject for me so will that be a issue when going for RN? Im willing to study hard and put the time into becoming a RN im just kinda uneasy about getting into it if math will be a big part of it. Thanks

have 4 yrs as a ward nurse began a new job as delivery room nurse. the nurse manager for that dept is on vacations an all the training is done by staff. Staff nurses give input to the director of nursing on how we are doing. Most of the time the teaching ocurrs when we do things differently or dont fill out forms the way they do. Love the dept but im dissapointed by the way things are done. opinions welcome,thanks!!

one of my co-workers is always giving me grief about every little thing. she says i'm doing stuff wrong and i have to point out and show her constantly that i am doing it right. i am so sick and tired of her that i can't stand her voice anymore. when she calls my name i'm thinking what now. i've told her off before, but i end up getting in trouble, so now i pretty much just ignore her, but she keeps messing with me. i keep imagining swinging her around by her hair.
what can i do???
please give me your advice!!!

I am a RN & just started this new job 3 mos ago. I work day/eve now, but want to go to just days. I found out you have to write a letter of request for a shift change. This is the process and they do not go by seniority. I figured I would have to wait for seniority, but this not being the case; I would like to get off evenings now. Any suggestions for letter etique w/o sounding greedy?

I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in Statistics but I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time. I am planning to go back to community college in order to qualify to take my states boards. I know that with a BSN it will be easier to obtain a supervisory role later on. My question is will I qualify for supervisory roles with a B.S. in Statistics and RN license (I'm not planning on going into a BSN program)?

Eight years ago I decided to go to nursing school. I always loved anything to do with medicine and I can remember spending alot of my young life reading my brother and sister's biology books because I was so fascinated with anything medical. Well now I'm done with school and havebeen working as a nurse for years. I am so unhappy. The majority of patients are nasty and rude, my boss leaves alot to be desired, the doctors are rude and demanding, the paperwork is tedious, my knees are worn from constant walking on hard floors, I get sick alot from stress and germs...I could go on and on.

I just feel so down about my career ending up this way. I had one of my co-workers ask me why i became a nurse and I actually got defensive. I hated that she said what I needed to be asking myself. I know everyone is stressed at some time or other in their jobs, but I just don't know what to do to be more positve about mine. I know I'm a good nurse, but being like this makes me wonder. any advice??

I just graduated from a nursing unit assistant program. I have a job at a school still that pays well but I have been doing that for a long time and i want to get into health care. Currently the nursing unit assistant doesn't quite pay as much as my current job. I have a full time nursing assistant job offered to me but i wanted to work casual first because you make more money and there is lots of work for nursing assistants. I wanted to see how much I liked this new job before letting go of my old one and plus I would make extra money to pay off some debts. Some friends say it is better to take the full time gig but some say if there is lots of work you can get a full time job later. Want are your thoughts I can't decide. I want to work in health care for sure but I don't think I am ready for a full time job yet I want to try it out casual first. i am making a bad decision by turning down full time. There is a shortage of nursing assistant right now.

companies expect you to work? Since I started the course, I was lucky enough to get into a nursing program at a local college. I intend to go on to get my RN, so I will be in school for about 3 more years and I REALLY need flexible way to earn money. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

What is the difference between a Nursing Assistant (NA) and a Certified Nursing Assistant (NA). I realize the the CNA is certified and probably needs to take a test but can you really work without being certified and if so how does that work. At University of Wisconsin Hospital there are only NAs and at the hospital near my house everyone is a CNA. Maybe it varies from state to state.

I was online researching nursing last night. I ran across a couple of articles on nursing. I was surprised to see that according to the articles 600,000 nurses per year in America get accidently stuck by needles when they are giving patients injections or dealing with IV lines. If you are a nurse or in nursing school, has this ever happened to you? From the article that I read, I got the impression that this happens to nurses on a regular basis. It seems as if nurses are at high risk of contracting blood-borne infectious diseases. RNs, LPNs, CNAs, MDs please share your 1st hand knowledge/experience on this (2nd hand knowledge would be appreciated too).

I love neurology and reading up on the brain. While everyone was falling asleep in psych class I was the one fully alert while the teacher talked about neurons and neurotransmitters.

But I am already 24 yrs old, I finished school with a degree that I don't enjoy, and I am financially in debt. I was hoping that there was still some career path that I could take that relates to the field and doesn't require all of medical school to complete.

Can someone point me toward another career path?
