   I am capable of doing the RN to BSN... just scared and not sure it will be worth it for me.

   From all I hear and see, I will get a decent education for my buck at GCU. Many other online programs may be cheaper but there are constant timed quizzes and tests. I know, from my vantage point, I can't handle that stress and work full time as well....

   My dear advisor is sticking with me. I start 7/6. I will give one class a try, given my reluctance I am looking at one step at a time. If I can do ok.. I will continue.

    I think that now, the big push will be 2016. Apparently at that point a BSN will be required in most states.. it does not mean more money. It is that a BSN is required. The UW system already requires it. Denver, CO, where my daughter lives requires ...

    I think education, irregardless of promotions, is priceless. I am moving forward because I want a BSN, always did. Back in my day, a 3 year diploma was the real deal!! And I do think we did get a super education. However, I want that BSN now, to hav...

    Especially boredom must be nice if you have BSN after your title!! If I hear about the job by end of day Monday, I am calling my counselor and starting. I hate being in limbo.

    The fact that my plans totally twisted around, still no answer is galling me. I was so excited and happy. But, more money, well yes that would help... so I hung in there. If no answer by Mon or Tues I will start school the following week.
