Thanks for that piece of advice..I would thread carefully..one step at a time..thank you.

You know, your advice has been really handy. I'm really an ambitious person that I want to do everything. I think I have to focus on one thing, which is the passion that brought me to Nursing. I have always been good with people and wanting to analyze the food they eat, their vital signs as it relates their overall health. With my experience as a nurse aid, I have always been concern about the biology of catether, chest on patient. I want to able to look at a patient life style and their diagnosis and be able to be of help. Nursing provides me that pathway because of how diverse it is. I'm currently doing a research in to all this I want and would hopefully decide what to do when I graduate.

When accepted in to the PhD program I will be on a PhD grant /scholarship hopefully. Becoming a Nurse is a dream come true for me, trust me. A degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences only goes further to elaborate my Therapeutic skills in nursing. I really don't care about the money because with excellence comes money it self.

Sounds awesome you would do that. Thank you.

Thanks for your response.Most pharmaceutical industry positions for nurses require at least a bachelors of science degree in nursing (BSN) and several years of experience. Nurse educators, professors, and researchers are a good fit for pharmaceutical companies too. Nurses that specialize in a therapeutic area that the pharmaceutical or medical device company manufactures products for have a better chance of getting their foot in the door. For example, a company that manufactures drugs for acute care will seek nurses that have worked in critical care or the emergency room. So I plan on working in critical care while I pursue a PhD. This advance degree only makes me look better to employer for the purpose o have mentioned above..

I'm currently in the University and just have two more semester to become a BSN before my board exam. I also plan to dive directly into my PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences since my school offers BSc to PhD direct as long as you meet the criteria. Growing up I saw some nurses work with Pharmaceutical companies both in the area of research staff care. How much more benefiting would this pursuit take me. I need advice.

Hi, I read your post and felt I needed to comment. I'm currently a Nursing student at a University in the US too. I plan to pursue Nurse Anaesthetic sometime in my career but the road map is unlike other specialization. With CRNA you will need a BSN and take the NCLEX exam to be certified. You will also need at least two years experience working either in Trauma or ICU unit depending on what the school requirements are. Most schools would require not just post Anaesthetic care but general. I don't know the requirements to be a crna outside the US but here in the US some school would request a GRE score, GPA, personal statement, recommendation from specialist inbyour specified role in the ICU, Not all schools require GRE though. I think every dream is realizable. First step is becoming a nurse and the rest comes with the experience you gather. Thank you
