what Bachelors degree can I earn besides BSN (from RN)?

[janice_c67]

Hello, So I am going on 3 months into my first nursing job and I am not loving it. I know there are alot of new grads that can't find work that would like to choke me for sounding ungrateful for finding a job (took me a year and a half after graduation to get it!) but after moving half way across the country with no family or friends, I am ready to go back home if I can get my old job back. I guess I am the one in 5 that want to leave nursing within the first year :'(

but anyways, I don't want my ADN to go to complete waste, and I do like healthcare, so I am wondering what else is out there that I can move on to from RN?

I really hear you i really really hear you, Well if that's any comfort I'm an IT ( computer engineer -BS. Information Technology , AA and AS, also Certificate in information management also specialty in business) you began to imagine the amount of studies and loan that i have compile over the years. A new dad unemployed most of the IT jobs are outsourced to India or somewhere in the eastern world so now I'm jumping ship. My Mother and many people used to say study to become a nurse especially that your a male I too pay no regards now I'm definitely listening So be It.

Best wishes and stick to the job.... if you can and endure :) good luck

While I would not have phrased this thought in the same way, there is a lot of truth to these statements. I have a BA. I did a double major: English (Concentration in Writing) and Philosophy.

That means that any potential employer should look at my credentials and my life experience and say 'Well now, this gentleman has the ability to express themselves clearly and think logically. He sure would be an asset to this company. Let me offer him millions of dollars to secure his employment with us'.

Instead, I can't even get a job mopping floors at a local restaurant, overnight.

Yes...that last statement was true.

Maybe it's the job market. Maybe it's the state I live in.

I don't know.

I don't care.

I only know that I used to work in a hospital and everyone told me I should study to be a nurse. I didn't listen then but I'm listening now.

I know that after 2 years you can do contractual work and narrow yourself down to something you like in a better geographical location.

Do what's best for you but I encourage you to stick it out if you can.

All the best!
