Plastic surgery nurse - Yuck!! I hate anything related to the OR. Perioperative nurse - Did I mention that I hate the OR? Reproductive nurse - Hmmm...I wouldn't mind that (I'm an L&D nurse). Legal nurse consultant - Sure, why not? Maybe this quiz...

I would've majored in math and economics, become an actuary.

Try rural Texas. Get a year or so of experience under your belt and then you can move back to the big city. I couldn't find a job back home (I'm from GA), so I moved to rural TX for work. Best decision I ever made. I would stay away from the borde...

You can apply for federal jobs at usajobs.gov. Your job code is 0610 (RN). I got a civilian job with an RN Diploma at an army hospital. The process is sloooooow, but it's worth it! Do an advanced search with the job code and filter for the state ...

Don't freak out! You may be able to pay off this balance within 5-6 years, 10 years being the being the maximum because interest is going to eat you alive after that. I had that amount of debt after attending law school and nursing school. After my R...

100 miles one way. If traffic is good, it'll take two hours. If it's bad, it can take up to three hours. At least I'm able to sleep at the hospital for a couple of days so I just make the commute once a week. I was also a new grad. Now, I have t...

I'm sorry about your situation. I'm from GA and couldn't find a job in the entire state! I literally went down the list of state hospitals and applied for jobs. I received a call from one hospital in my hometown and I didn't have enough experience...

Yes, your two years of experience as an ADN will count as 1 year towards pay, retirement, promotion, etc.

I applied to a rural Tx hospital online because I was working as a tech with an RN license in NC. No full-time positions in NC, unfortunately. The hospital called me and offered to fly me out for an interview and put me up in a hotel room. Don't f...

From what I understand, many nursing programs are more concerned with your science/pre-req classes than other classes. The programs that I applied to only calculated the gpa using science/pre-req classes. They didn't even look at my classes that di...

Kennesaw State offers a PCT course through their continuing education program. I believe it's one day a week. I think you have to be a CNA first. Isn't it similar to medical assistant? I think you could go to Columbus Tech for medical assistant.

Darton College in Albany, GA has a part-time ADN and an online ADN program.

Mercy School of Nursing in Charlotte, NC is a diploma program You can do a search on the NLNAC website of accredited diploma programs

I didn't attend the ASN program there but I did go there for a year to take pre-reqs -what would you like to know?

Hi, Do you have a link to the article? I wonder if she's waiting for the "perfect job?"

I'm in an RN diploma program and although we are a Title 4 school, the fed funds weren't enough to cover living expenses, etc. I went to Sallie Mae to make up the difference. Other big banks provide loans - Chase, Wachovia, Bank of America. Also tr...

Wow for 6 months - maybe that's for a year? They're offering $150k for 12 months to firefighters (or for people would like to go over there and be firefighters).

Did the people at the Georgia Board of Nursing tell you this? I haven't heard anything like that. LPN licensure application

Timing - I wanted to begin nursing school sometime before Fall 2008. I had been working on pre-req's since Spring 06. I completed pre-req's Fall 07. Entrance Exams - I applied to an ABSN program in my home state that required the TEAS pre-test. I ...

If you're willing to work in AL, Summit Hospital in Phenix City relies heavily on LPNs. (An LPN who works there told me this.)

I keep telling myself that some things take more time than others. I spent 2 years taking pre-req classes at a technical college and university (there was a semester I was enrolled at both schools at the same time while working full-time!) I finall...

They probably had a lot of applicants and are still working through it. Hang in there! I applied for Summer 08 and I'm counting down the days until I know for sure whether or not I've been accepted. I applied for the accelerated program.

YES! I applied to start either an accelerated BSN program Summer '08 or a hospital diploma program in January '08. I should hear from both programs by the end of November.

I just completed A&P I last week with an A! :balloons: A&P II doesn't start until July 9th. I'm taking it online since I'm tired of going to class three days a week for 2-3 hours at a time (we're on the quarter system). I'm going to start...
