go to nursing school or not?

Re: go to nursing school or not?

I woud advise you to not go to nursing school. Your time, energy and money to get through school will not be worth the benefits of being a nurse. Working as a nurse is one of the worst things you can do for your body and mind.

You seem to think your tuition will be reimbursed by a job after schooling. What if that plan doesn't work out and you're stuck owing thousands of dollars in student loans?

Re: go to nursing school or not?

Thanks for all the replies - I do know that my tuition would be reimbursed based on a contract that most of the students at this particular school sign with a healthcare group to work for 2 years at a hospital in that group. I would only have to pay it back if I didn't fulfill that 2 year commitment. I am looking around to see if there is some way I can do something part-time and not have to quit my job, hopefully I'll find something!

I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but a 1 yr BSN program sounds like something for an ADN to BSN, not for someone with 0 nursing knowledge. Just my
