1. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

   peanutfish replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

   If you chose nursing for the money? Then I have to wonder how you got through school (and life) without any knowledge of business or technology or consulting...

2. Georgetown CNL Fall 2018

   peanutfish replied to Aapage87's topic in School Programs

   This is a great place for dogs and their people. What Pentagon City lacks in charm, it makes up for in convenience. I'm biased towards to the DC side of the river (and with Reagan Ntl being on the blue and yellow lines, it's really easy to get to) ...

   peanutfish replied to Aapage87's topic in School Programs

   Hi SK13! I lived in Austin for a few years in the 90s and it's still one of my favorite places in the world. Coming from Texas, the summers in DC will not shock you (they will shock some people, you just won't be among them) and will even seem surpr...

4. Georgetown CNL Fall 2018

   peanutfish replied to Aapage87's topic in School Programs

   Hello future classmates. I actually live "in the District" which is one reason that Georgetown is my first choice above UMD (still waiting to hear about financial aid before making a commitment). I know the city pretty well, so if you have question...

   OP again. There's so much great information here, thank you to all respondents. What I'm ultimately interested in is something specialized like cardiac or ICU. I've defaulted to looking at 2nd Bachelor BSN/Accelerated BSN programs because in my in...

7. MSN, $60-$75K, worth it?

   peanutfish replied to peanutfish's topic in Post Graduate

   This would be student loans. In my area (DC Metro) there are several options, such as accelerated BSN and 2nd BSN for people who already have a Bachelor's degree. However, it looks like the MSN takes the same amount of time and costs about the same...

8. MSN, $60-$75K, worth it?

   peanutfish posted a topic in Post Graduate

   I'm in my 40s, and looking at a career change to nursing. I have a Masters in an unrelated field (MBA) and am working on the pre-requisites for a Master's in Nursing - CNL program. It's not an inexpensive option, but otoh, I'm not in my 20's with t...
