I realize that a majority of people out there probably entered the profession the normal way... ..
But I'd like some suggestions from anyone who has been through the nursing as a second career path........
First off, what did you "do" for a living while you reattended the classes you needed to have an income again?
Secondly, is the day when Facilities actually either instruct and or sponsor people in exchange for service to the facility a thing of the past? Because frankly to me, someone asking somebody who already possesses a degree in whatever field it might be to pay once again for a college education seems a bit absurd to me...
What are the situations and under what circumstances can certain requirements towards obtaining R.N. licensure be "challenged" by examination?
Why on earth would someone at a Community college try to tell someone that basic chem or other courses would be Nontransferrable? ( That part gave me a chuckle.. I'd still do better on any generalized Advanced Chem course than a large majority of people
Frankly what I've done is just get myself in the door and hope to be working at an ACTUAL health care facility as a lab tech but the idea of having to go back to being a full time student seems absolutely odd to me and many of the hurdles thrown up seem a bit absurd....
Sorry but I'm a bit frustrated but only from an intellectual perspective... I would think that anything you would truly LEARN would come in actual clinical practice but perhaps I discount the value of certain "class" work.
