  1. Would NP be a good fit?

    While the salary is very alluring, the time (and money) spent in school is not. I would assume that anesthesiologists would not be on-call like typical physicians, but I think the time spent away from home would still be quite extensive. But, again, ...
  2. Would NP be a good fit?

    I have been thinking about how I have wanted to be a doctor, but that I thought being a nurse would be better because of the fact that a) I know I would be great at it, b) it would be better for the family, and c) I would not be running around in cir...
  3. Carrington - LPN, then LPN to RN?

    I will be working full-time as the soul provide for my wife and baby, and going to school full-time. I did it once before while single, I can do it again. I am not sure in your case, but when I was looking into RN bridge programs in and around Portla...
  4. Carrington - LPN, then LPN to RN?

    You can go to Carrington's web site and find all the info you need. However, since posting this thread, I have decided very heavily in favour of going to a REAL university. Here, it is $22,000 for your LPN, $19,000 for your RN bridge. Ridiculous! And...
  5. How do unions work in our field?

    I am still barely a student. Have yet to begin my pre-reqs - start in Spring. But I am interested - how do unions work in this field? In the labour industry, there are many cons when compared to the pros. Employers cannot afford unionized workers, s...
  6. Don't move to Oregon if you're a new grad

    This has been my general take on the market there as well. I have even seen Providence hiring for positions that a new grad would qualify for. But it has always been my thought that one should never move right when they get out of college. It is a h...
  7. AS in RN to BS?

    I am applying at BSU this week for. I don't know how traditional universities work, so it's pretty strange to me. Like, not knowing the class schedule before even going to orientation, not knowing exactly which classes I will take, etc. Anyways... I ...
  8. AS in RN to BS?

    Okay, CWI (ASN) is not accredited. Carrington, however, is. Anyways, I am still on the fence... I just don't know what the best route is - and how it will all work with me working 3 on, 4 off nights/week.
  9. AS in RN to BS?

    GrnTea, I work with developmentally disabled adults in an apartment. I am still considering the ASN, as Salary.com shows that 43% of RN's have an ASN, while 49% have a BSN. So would it really be that bad for me to get my ASN and then get my BSN at a...
  10. AS in RN to BS?

    GrnTea, thank you much for your opinion. I am thinking this as well... It just may be the better deal. I would be an idiot to disregard someone with as much experience as it sounds like you have. The credits from the ASN school transfer to Boise Sta...
  11. AS in RN to BS?

    If I go for BSN, that's even longer working this lower paying job; that's my hang-up. Thank you for your input. :)
  12. AS in RN to BS?

    Hi all. Long-time researching into the nursing field. I am prepared to make the leap. However, I need to figure out what programs to attend. My options are: > Certificate in Practical Nursing @ Carrington College (accredited) - ~$19,000 - 10 mo -...
  13. Don't move to Oregon if you're a new grad

    Like?
  14. % of grads that are employed?

    Found a couple positions like that. I could try applying to one of those.
  15. % of grads that are employed?

    Ah, I see. Patient Care Technician is a CNA job, correct? I'd love to somehow strengthen my opportunities for post-grad, though I do have a minimum income I need to uphold.
