   Please excuse me if I am rambling, but I am just very confused by this whole process. I received my letter of acceptance to CNR's 2nd degree BSN program. The letter states that a 3-credit class is over $2,000. That is extremely expensive. Additionall...

   So far, I've noted nursing shortage as a major issue since overworked nurses increases the likelihood of fatal mistakes being made. But I kinda feel like everyone is going to write on this topic so I'm looking for something else to write on.

6. Which Job would YOU rather have??

   FutureRN618 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

   The hospital job. The hours and shift differences are a nice incentive. Plus, it wouldn't bore me as much as a doctor's office would.

9. Pros and Cons

   FutureRN618 replied to FutureRN618's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That was my original intention but unfortunately finding jobs in that field is much harder than I thought. I did work for an organization that helped recently released female prisoners get back on their feet but unfortunately they had to close their ...

10. Pros and Cons

    FutureRN618 replied to FutureRN618's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks. What I am most interested in is research. I've heard that if you get a Ph.D in Nursing you can in sometimes cultivate a path of your own in the field and research things that you want. So I am hoping to do that in correctional nursing.

    Thanks. I have considered all of this and, for now, I do think correctional nursing is a good choice for me. I say "for now" because I am only beginning my research into nursing so I'm not quite sure where it is going to lead me.
