I’m interested in knowing also.

A similar situation happened to me. I was in a residency program for the first two months when they asked me to move to Night Shift. Although I was reluctant because I am a daytime person and I had never worked night shift in my entire life, I agreed. I loved it for the first four weeks although my body would not allow me to sleep any more than four hours during the day. I also had a difficult time sleeping at night on my days off. Well, needless to say two months later maxing out on four hours sleep on workdays and six hours on non workdays eventually took a toll on my overall circadian rhythm. I gave my letter of resignation and it was the best thing I could have done. In the meantime, hospitals know that you will go and work elsewhere so their goal is to keep you with their facility. They usually have a placement coordinator who can help get you into another residency of your liking. Contact your residency educator first to see how they can help. They can pass your info directly to the placement coordinator. I know this from experience. Choose wisely. I wish you the best!

You can do procedures such as cath~lab, endoscopy, and dialysis. You can also work in ortho, primary care, and mini clinics. There’s a lot that you can do as a nurse that does not require you to be at the bedside. Do your homework and research non-bedside nursing positions. You’d be amazed at what’s out there.

Congrats! Likewise :)

Gotcha!

Thanks for your feedback on Chamberlain. I have pre-enrollment appointment next week. I suppose I'll find out then.

Glad you have a good support system. It will work out- Fret not! :)

Btw, Just sent you a PM.

Yes. I don't expect that to be a problem. Besides, I'm not sure how much will be out of pocket, but I'll know next week. What about you? Did you take all pre-requisites? Or, are you starting from scratch?

Awesome! Thanks for the thorough explanation. I guess I'll see you in September :)

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Looks like I'm going for pre-enrollment which is scheduled for next week. I'm pretty anxious. What exactly does it entail? Also, how soon after is orientation and what exactly does it involve? Do share!

Hey, They mentioned both as if it were all in one appointment- Background and orientation. But, the emphasis was on background and finances. What's the order that applied to you? 1. Background and finance, 2. Orientation, then what? Do share!

Hi Joneswm, I'm excited for you. I'm 48 and begin my program in Fall 2018 as well. Are you on FB? I would love to follow your journey and vice versa.

I was accepted for the Fall 2018 start date. How are your studies going so far? Is it what you expected? Do share!

Hey There, How are your studies going so far? Do share!

Hi Kim, I was just accepted last week. My start date is September 3rd 2018 also. Let's chat!

Thanks for sharing!

Big Congrats! I'm 48 and decided on nursing as a second career as well. My nursing programs starts Fall 2018. I wish you the best in your endevours.

You can do it!

Yaaa! Congrats to you.

Awesome! I called a few days ago and they told me to wait until mid-May to submit my application because they're currently focusing on the summer semester class.

Congrats! You're a few months ahead of me.

Yaaaa! Big Congrats.

Hi RN 2b, How is your nursing program going? I'm 48 and studying nursing as a second career also. I'm in my last semester of Pre-req's and will be beginning the BSN program in August 2018.

Likewise! I hope to see you there soon :)
