  7. NJ ADNs

    Most hospitals in NJ are looking for the BSN but that is not to say they won't hire an ADN nurse. I graduated December 2012 with my diploma. I knew I wanted to work at a specific hospital so I took a job that was kind of non nursing and did that for ...

  12. I don't want night shifts

    Like the above posters said you might not have a choice in the matter. Hospitals do not close shop at 5:00 on Friday evenings like other places. While I was in nursing school we even had to do evening and weekend shifts for clinical. We were not give...
  13. Questions on Becoming a RN from a High School Student!

    I would talk to your HS guidance counselor. They are usually the ones that can point you in the right direction. If that doesn't work go online and look up schools in your area that offer nursing programs. A lot of times they offer open houses throug...
  14. future nurse

    Hey nina_82. If you are looking for an accelerated BSN program both Rutgers and UMDNJ have them but if your original BA is a non sciences degree you will still have to take your science pre reqs. I would look to your local CC and start there. If you ...
