1. Difficulty finding jobs?

   derkfamily replied to justsaiyanRN's topic in Educators

   I guess I can understand that experience would be required. I will have to start looking in another direction and once I have some experience I can go back to that option of teaching online.

   derkfamily replied to justsaiyanRN's topic in Educators

   I would like to find a part-time job teaching an online nursing course. Where would be the best place to look for this type of job? I just got my MSN and am ready to get started!

   tokmom I agree with the issue of age. I am also in my 50s and just completed this program. I don't feel old and plan on working until they ask me to leave. I needed my BSN for my job and it was on my bucket list as well. I am so proud of myself fo...

   I didn't take any breaks and finished this program in exactly 1 year! Had I known the future, I wouldn't have rushed so much. The position at work I want to apply for has not posted yet and for some unknown reason there is a delay. Oh well, I'm ju...

   tokmom What would you do if you got your MSN? I am in my mid 50s (Yikes) and think I am too old and that I would not be able to justify having it. I do plan on working as long as I can since I went back to school later in life. Just looking for id...

    mcas I just finished capstone 2 weeks ago and agree with Prism. The review of literature is a little labor intensive so it would be a good idea to switch the two weeks around and save yourself some time. Those first 3 weeks for me were busy so any ...

    Yes! I sure did submit that paper that I never thought I would be able to write! I always wondered how I could write 39 pages and now that it is said and done, it really wasn't that bad! Each week had it's challenges for sure, but at the end it al...
