Best Accelerated BSN Program under 14 months --OPINIONS WANTED

DEAR MBA2RN, THANK YOU Here is an older post that no one has really spoken too...you are the first!! YAY! what are your thoughts here?
__________________________________________________ _____________
Hello, I was interested in taking an accelerated bsn/msn program in the USA in the near future, and it occurred to me to ask if...

1. Any Canadians out there doing the same and where?
2. Any Canadians who have completed their studies and if and where they are working?
3. ...Has anyone looked for or been given an opportunity to have their schooling paid by a hospital in return to work?
4. Was getting a position in the USA easy, and how did you go about it?
5. Acupuncturists --any of you out there?

Thank you!

HI AGAIN MBA2RN: THANK YOU AGAIN!!
I don't think my last message got through. Thank you for your clear and concise answers. What is odd is that Kaiser wanted 10% interest for their scholarship. My story is complicated but I am a Reg. Acup. and didn't make the money or have the security I needed and instead felt like I was administrative assist. rather than a practitioner who studied for 4 yrs and gave $100k in total for everything. I couldn't stay on in S. California where I studied but tried really hard for a year to find a job. My school in S. Calif. was probably going to offer me a Research Assistant job, but I would have to do that forever and didn't think that they would allow me to work in clinic since it was a program that was still starting out. NAFTA doesn't list Acupuncture. I returned to BC (Van) and worked a bit, but not much money. I'm 32 and single, and not sure what to do as a 2nd career that is quick for getting the education and lots of jobs...not like Acup. They don't even have anything listed in Workopolis or Craigslist!! I'm pretty good with
Advertising, Communications, Marketing and HR. I was going to study HR but had a whiplash accident the day before going to Toronto, ON to study for 8 mths. I also heard from my co-op instructor that all his contacts were laid off so he didn't think he could get us jobs in the fall!! I guess it was not meant to be. Not sure what career path to take...nursing is not my first choice by any means--I don't like blood and hate the smell of poo--but I can deal with it as I have done working on cadavers for 1 yr etc.

BTW Did you get an MBA and then leave after a few years due to corp. stress? How old are you and is this your 2nd career? What city are you planning to work in and who gives you that visa to work--I assume you have to get an H-1 visa which lasts 6 yrs? Would you mind sending me your lawyers contact if you took that route? (The reason I ask is because I have never met anyone in a similar situation and couldn't find a lawyer for myself that knew how to deal with Acupuncturists...perm. residency-->green card etc. etc. Sorry for all the questions.
