Advise! Real life with ASN degree

Published

Hope you guys can help!

I have been accepted into nursing school in the Lehigh Valley Area.

I have some nursing credits from way back when I first started college.

I'm thinking about getting my adn while my kiddos are still little and then doing my bsn.

Can I get a decent job in the Lehigh Valley with my ADN? My goal is Post Partum.

I'm so worried about working holidays and weekends and not being able to keep up with my 5 kids!

Being a post partum nurse has always been my dream, but I'm worried about my family life suffering.

Thoughts??

Thanks!!!!

This is true, but I heard of 3 nurses in my area who got hired in peds as their first job as new grads, I know one was a day shift but I don't know about the others. I'm really hoping I could be that lucky, but prepared for reality too! :yes:

They were the exception. It's all about who you know. Have you considered working as a PCT to get a feel for the schedule and get your foot in the door?
