I have not heard about a CRNA program. I do know they recently started a MSN program.

It's about $19 and some change to start for new grads. I don't think it matters which specialty it is.

Thanks for this article. I'm another one with poor interpersonal skills. SInce I'm a quiet and reserved introvert I often get judged as antisocial by coworkers. I simply loathe small talk and...

Definitely not. Only been in it 2 yrs and I've already determined it's not worth the stress in the end...to me. I don't know about whether getting a MSN or NP is worth it. I'm still debating that...

Thanks for sharing. Being able to look back on how you made it through is very gratifying. Your story reminds me of how I also faced a lot struggles in my educational journey. I spent 3 yrs working...

Well this thread attracted me because I also considered becoming a vet tech because I am so disappointed with nursing thus far, and I prefer animals to humans. Not to mention I have deep anxiety...

Of course nursing makes the list for unhappiest jobs. I only wish these articles would go more in depth on the reasons why. Going through the comments only gives you a taste of the reasons.

Congratulations on your acceptance to LPN school. I've heard both Francis Tuttle and Metro Tech programs were very good. Good Luck!

Been a nurse for almost 2 years. I started in the ICU not by choice but because that's where I got my first job offer. It's not where I want to be and I will be changing to another specialty as soon...

Go with respiratory.

OP, I commend your brave decision. I went per diem at my job to make it more manageable but it's not the cure. After barely 2 yrs in nursing and researching options...I've come to the conclusion that...

I don't know if it's worth it yet. I just completed my BSN in December 2011, which took 3 semesters going part-time, all while working full-time. The rn-bsn program was like a part-time job to me....

No, you're not the only one that feels this way. When I was looking for an RN-BSN completion program, I felt many of them were scams, every place had their own set of prereqs, for example...requiring...

I got my ADN in May 2010. I just graduated with my BSN from the university of central oklahoma in December 2011 so it took about 3 semesters for me to finish taking classes part-time. I did all this...

Thanks lily. I have noticed many schools are requiring science prereqs to actually be no more than 5 years old, which is somewhat unrealistic if one spends a couple years getting pre-reqs for nursing...

Bumping this thread for responses. I am also thinking about graduate school options in the future. A lot of RNs I know are in NP or PA school, however, I don't know any that are going back for OT or...

It's OCU isn't it? I'd go out on a limb and expose them and make others aware of the unethical business practice they are using to pull in extra tuition dollars! I agree with the previous poster and...

I'm wondering this too. A large number of those who think a nursing degree is so versatile are those who aren't even in it or trying to get in.

27, RN for a year. Will get my BSN in December.

Personally, I feel trapped into nursing. I will be finishing my RN-BSN program this December, I went directly into it after getting my RN last year so I guess I wished I took more time to think about...

Going through the trouble of getting a BSN doesn't mean that one wouldn't work as a nurse for awhile. Nursing is okay but if one gets tired of nursing then whats the big deal of doing those...

Well I'm as shy and introverted as they come. I had difficulty getting through nursing school as well. At work I have the reputation of being quiet and shy. I honestly like it that way because I am...

This is something I've questioned as well. I don't have a previous BS degree. I'll be finishing my RN-BSN degree in December and really one of the major reasons I went back for the BSN was so that I...

I agree! for RNs to make only 10-12 dollars more than factory, retail or call center workers is downright shameful. All the responsibility and none of the pay. Relocating is my only hope for better...
