5. Would you become an RN again if you had the choice?

   Ambitiouz replied to eminthesr's topic in ADN/BSN

   Definitely not. Only been in it 2 yrs and I've already determined it's not worth the stress in the end...to me. I don't know about whether getting a MSN or NP is worth it. I'm still debating that myself.

11. Finally decided to quit nursing

    Ambitiouz replied to jennjen512's topic in Professionalism

    OP, I commend your brave decision. I went per diem at my job to make it more manageable but it's not the cure. After barely 2 yrs in nursing and researching options...I've come to the conclusion that nursing isn't for me. I am not sure where to go fr...

    Ambitiouz replied to nd deb's topic in Online Learning

15. NP vs. PT/OT

    Ambitiouz replied to gonzo83's topic in Career Support

    Thanks lily. I have noticed many schools are requiring science prereqs to actually be no more than 5 years old, which is somewhat unrealistic if one spends a couple years getting pre-reqs for nursing done, then a couple years in the nursing program, ...
