Hi-
I will be starting an RN program at a hospital in January. I have a B.S. in Health Eduacation and Sociology (double major). I taught health and sex ed in middle schooland high school for a few years and was Coordinator of Volunteers for a Hospice for a year and a half. The reasons that I chose the particular program that I am going into are that first and foremost they have an excellent reputation (the school and the medical center) and they offer a part time 3 year program that would allow me to go to school in the evenings and every other weekend (I have small children). They also offer a program in which staff members from VCU come down one weekend a month to teach a RN to BSN program.
My question is- Would my previous education and experience as a health teacher hold any significance in the possibility of me getting an administrative position in the future or would I definitley have to pursue a BSN?
I am definitley willing to do so, but I was just curious as to anyone's experience with this.
Thanks,
Kim
