Going back to school in fall 06

Published

hi,

I'm going back to school in the fall, but currently working as a nurse aide at a local hospital. I have the first 2 years of my bsn, have to go back for the next 2 years. I took two years off in between, so I have to remember alot of what I learned two years ago.:uhoh3: I'm excited and somewhat nervous at the idea of going back to school. I'm not exactly the normal age to be a college student. Yet, looking at the forums here, I've noticed alot of people who received their degrees in their 30's and 40's so it gives me hope. Anyway, feel free to post a reply, i'd like to hear from my fellow south dakotans, i will be checking.

Hi

nice to hear from you. the Accelerated BSN is a 12-month program at sioux falls. i was kinda tired working in the lab with rabbits and rats. and was looking for a job with public interaction. i found my job much more isolated. but that was not the only reason to jump into nursing. i was very much interested in the health related profession too. nursing has alot of work opportunities.. and being a male will be an extra advantage in this field. i am very positive that i will find my way to move upwards in this field.

are you from sioux falls too?? do you practice in hospital? which one??

hi,

i agree nursing has alot of work opportunities, i'm working at an IHS hospital, I mainly screen patients to be seen by the provider, i'm located in central south dakota. i enjoy the experience of working with actual people, instead of reading everything out of a book and practicing on other nursing students.

hi,

how did your interview go? did you get the loan? I've had to postpone going back to college for financial reasons, but I'm not giving up, I will try again for next fall or possibly this spring. so what are your summer plans?
