How far do you plan to take your ed?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was wondering, how far is everyone planning on taking their education?

I'm doing an ADN prog, then planning on moving so I can complete my BSN, then go onto am MSN for ANP.

With so many options out there for nurses I'm curious to see what everyone has planned.

Specializes in MS Home Health.

The college I got my BS/MS is from is trying to get me to enter the PHD program. I am still mauling it over. Teaching would be nice.

I am in an ADN program. I plan on doing the BSN online ASAP or RN to MSN program.

I will then do the Masters a little later on. I would love to do CRNA but there are no programs in Atlanta, so I am considering either teaching or the NP program.

I am getting my ADN so I can start working in the field. I then plan to enter a RN to MSN program. I want to be a Neonatal or Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.

I am in a unique situation, as I already have a masters degree in another field. It seems very strange to go back and get an associates degree but I want practical experience in the field before committing to further education.

What a fun question! For now I want to just get my ADN in Nursing, with the RN of course. After my kids get older, oh high school or college, I plan to do a BSN to MSN program they have at the nearby Univ. I can do the combo in 2 or 3 years. Cool hah? :eek: Sounds totally fun. But after a 2 year absence (during the RN program) I just want to work a couple days a week and be a mom. Later, I will become......SUPERNURSE! :nurse: (White cape included) Heather;)

You usually have to have prior experience before even being accepted to a CRNA program.

I hope everyone is able to acomplish their goals!

IMHO, if some one wants to work before continuing onto a MSN prog, then good for them.

gotosleep...not everyone moves at the same pace.

Good luck everyone!

Goto sleep,

In order to even get into CRNA school you have to have a few years experience in an an ICU setting before they will even consider you. Most school prefer to see 3 years, 1 year is the bare minimum.

To EmeraldNYL,

You are right...there are 6 CRNA school's around this area, but only 4 that I am looking at and applying to because of commute time.

I heard the LaSalle/Montgomery Hospital program was excellent, as was Nazareth's. I haven't heard anything about the others.

Good luck wherever you decide to go!
