   The 12 mo. accelerated BSN program I am doing (already have a bachelor's) is $17,000 plus about $2000 for the couple classes I need before then at a community college. The loss of income, cost of daycare, and gas (1-2 hours away) scares me even mor...

11. Nursing Shortage News items

    kellia replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    Very true... not to mention their schools are horrible, so that doesn't help attract younger nurses with kids in school, plus homeowner's insurance is crazy! Dh kept saying he wanted to move there until one of his friends did, he doesn't want to an...
