Well what do you know. I graduated from Excelsior College February 20th,2009 and can't seem to enjoy my new found freedom of being study free. My new job has inspired me to get my bachelor's degree. The UNC RN-BSN program is done on-line and will cost $5000.I could do it in 3,4,or 5 semesters. My job has made major cuts in budgets and will cover $1500. I will take out a loan for the rest. After looking at a bunch of roles. I think I would love to do Staff Development in a hospital setting. I was sitting back listening to all the departments come in and do their presentations and I am most intrested in Patient Education,Staff Education(teaching workshops, ACLS,BCLS etc) or even a Nurse Recruiter . I love to educate and I could just imagine myself in a role like that.
I chose UNC because is a GREAT school and 50 minutes from my home and the program is online.It also doesn't hurt that they are Nationally known as the NCAA Basketball Champions! I sent my transcripts to see how many of my old credits they would accept. If I don't have to take alot of classes and they accept me, I am gonna enroll in January 2010.
Thanks Sue, Lunah and Change and Gail for inspiring me to advance my career! You guys ROCK!!!!!
