   cassanova replied to cassanova's topic in Career Support

   I've been doing more reading, and, as most people probably looking at this profession, I have seen a lot of negativity on here. Especially when talking about the pay/patient overload, etc.... Now, I am interested in nursing specifically because I wan...

4. Community College and then BSN?

   cassanova replied to cassanova's topic in ADN/BSN

   I live in Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia area. While I do live close to many schools, I can't seem to find tuition info on any of their websites, and even so, I know the reputable ones (Drexel, Thomas Jefferson, UPenn) are more expensive than an AS...

5. Community College and then BSN?

   cassanova replied to cassanova's topic in ADN/BSN

   I've been doing some research--looks like a good option for someone money-handicapped (me) is to get an ADN and then do an online RN-BSN program... also seems like the best option since if I can't get a job, it's cheap, and if I can, then it's online...

   Wow! Thanks a lot for the great advice. The thing I'm worried about is going to get my ADN and then being unable to get a job, so therefore I can't get anyone to help me pay! The ADN sounds like the best option to me right now though, considering t...

   Hi everyone. I've made a thread in another forum, but it seems hard to get answers there... but I am also impatient (and currently in Guatemala, where nothing happens). But this also seems like the area to get more targeted advice for this issue. I a...

    To work in a mental health facility, do I just need to get my BSN (i.e. become an RN)? Or is there more degrees I need to get before that. Bleh. I wish I had a timeline so I knew exactly what to do.

    I'm really interested in psychiatric issues and mental health, so I considered mental health nursing. Does anyone have any input on this (as well as the schooling stuff)? I am definitely going to shadow some people...
