1. Considering dropping out of FNP program

   stormanNorman replied to Mahage's topic in Post Graduate

   I also had to force myself to study to get through the BSN part. I pretty much read chapter-highlights because I didn't want to study. I ended up with a 4.0 and am in NP school now. I don't have to deal with depression, but I do just "put one foot in...

   stormanNorman replied to JuliaSN's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm going to OPSU right now in the RN-BSN program. If you're already an RN, there is no clinical requirement. Just take the classes on line and wah-lah you're a BSN. It's about $120 per semester hour, including fees. It is the best!

8. Doing RN to BSN and working as a new grad
