Iam a High School Honors Student, about to graduate.. I know I want to become a nurse, but there are different types.. I've done some research, but the research takes me in so many other direction. Everyone in my family went to school for Math, Science, and Technology, so they really cant answer these questions for me. I'm writing this Thread so I can get some help about nursing from the one's who are currently pursuing Nursing as a career.
Which is better a Community/Jr. College or University?
What is the different in having a BSN and being just a regular RN
To be a baby nurse, how long will I have to stay in a College?
Im in the Dallas area, which College/University/J.C would you recommend?
Is a online degree good when I am applying for jobs?
As a student, was it really as difficult as people make it seem?
Was it hard finding a job once you graduate?
We're you able to have a job, go to school, and make good grade?
About the "BSN or Regular RN" question - Texas has a goal of having 80% of all hospital nurses with BSN degrees within the next few years. If your state is gearing towards that then you should consider getting that degree. Both the associate degree nurse and the baccalaureate degree nurse take the same test to get licensed. The difference is only a few months in school (as far as time is concerned).
