   Ah! Thanks for clearing that up for me. Programs I'm looking into are ASN.

3. ADN straight into BDN

   Okapi replied to Okapi's topic in General Students

   That sounds like a good plan to be honest. Get my ADN and work while completing my bachelor's online. Come to think of it, I know of someone else who did that as well. I love the atmosphere of the medical center, my mother (though not a nurse) used t...

4. ADN straight into BDN

   Okapi posted a topic in General Students

   Unsurprisingly, there are more schools offering Associates degrees in nurses versus Bachelors. They are also easier to get into. So my thought was, if I don't get into a BDN program straight off, I can go to school to get my associates and RN licens...

5. How Much Free Time Do You Have?

   Okapi posted a topic in General Students

   I'm sure it depends on the individual and the school program, so I'm curious! How much free time do you find yourself having? In other words, how much time do you have when you're NOT actually in school or working in the clinic? Do you spend the time...

   Okapi replied to Okapi's topic in Texas

   Because of the massive medical center in Houston, I'm hoping that it won't be too difficult or long to find a job there if/when I pursue a degree in nursing. Now, I still have two years left in the army then another two in nursing school. So I still...

8. Is Nursing for Me?

   Okapi replied to Okapi's topic in Career Support

   Thanks westieluv! The things you mention and post-op I could deal with fine. As you said, it's probably the emotion that goes with trauma that would get to me. And who knows, maybe something with click and I'll be able to tolerate ER in the future. B...

9. Is Nursing for Me?

   Okapi replied to Okapi's topic in Career Support

   Thanks for the reply jadelpn! I'll look those things up. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to switch army careers at this point, however I spoke to a friend who is an army nurse. She said she's almost positive I'll get over what I'm feeling now. Sh...

    Hello, this is my first post but I also had a question... so hopefully this is the correct section! I apologize in advance for a wall of text... I am currently in the Army working in information technology for the next two years. Love the Army but I ...
