Completing masters degree and working as a nurse aide

I commend you for taking this very important step. Education is never lost. It will make you better and better. All through school while I was working on my MSN, I kept saying "you jump through the hoops...you get what you want." Success does not always go with the quickest, but rather the one who finishes the race. It was me. Good luck! Reach for your dreams. They beckon you.:kiss

It's hard to do, I got my BSN and worked 48 hrs a week. Forget about a life for a while, but it is a lot better and worth it when you succeed. Go for it!

I'm currently in school for an ADN to MSN program and still work full-time. Best decision I've ever made.

Hi,

I am looking for fellow nurse aides who are in college studying in other areas. Are any other nurse aides working on BS or MS degrees. I am sure that I am not the only one.

I would like to know what your Master's degree is in?

:) I once had a float tech with me. This guy was GREAT! He was very disciplined and would go out of his way to assist. I asked him if he was in nursing school, and he said he'd just retired and wanted a second career.

Retired? The director told me weeks later. "Yep as a 2 star General...worked in the Pentagon.." This is the guy who hand carried urine specimens to the lab.....and so much more.

Yes Sir!
