7. ADN or BSN. Which should i choose? HELP

   Nighthawke30 replied to marcopolo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you can afford to get your BSN now, I would do that. I'm changing careers, and the question between BSN and ADN, for me, has always been 'what do I want to do when I graduate'. If you answer that question and you can do everything you want to do ...

11. If you have a family...

    Nighthawke30 replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it really depends on your support system and how much your SO is willing to do. My wife is very supportive and is a stay at home mom, so I'd also choose the second option

13. Making a change to Nursing

    Nighthawke30 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have been wanting to go to nursing school for several years. (I'm 30) I've decided to finally do it. I've started the process to take pre-req's and hopefully apply to the ADN program for the Fall 2010 semester. I think I may be psyching myself out...
