I think you may have been used to being babied in your education...and thats why you have a problem with "uncaring professors." never use the professor as a crutch. You succeeded because of you...and you failed because of you. Take responsibility for your own actions. Professors can be rude, inconsiderate, etc...live and learn. Good luck in your other classes :)

Hey! are those of you pursuing your NP or CNS degree worried at all about the future of your degree--the whole situation about it turning into a doctorate degree in the near future?? Are you guys worried about this? How will I be competitive among new APN if I dont intend to get a doctorate?? Is this factoring in your selection of nursing degree? (I am still in limbo with mine) THANKS!!

im worried about changing a CNS into a doctorate! I was accepted into a CNS program, but am hesitant to go there b/c what if they do change it into a doctorate degree later on and so I will not be competitive against the new CNS with a doctorate degree. Would you guys go into the program even with this future possibility?? (perhaps you have seen my other post, but I was also admitted into a CNL program and so am really debating which one to go to) THANKS!

Hi all! I have a big decision to make, and would appreciate your input and insights. I have been accepted to a nursing school (Fresno State)that will graduate me as a CNS/nurse educator. I really want to work on-hands patient care. can I do this with this degree? I called someone at the school, and he said I would be educating patients or teaching at a nursing school. Does he mean those diabetes classes that some hospitals do?? I really dont want to teach at a nursing school. Does anyone here know of any cns/nurse educators?? Can they take care of patients or do they just educate patients?? Also, I was accepted into a CNL program(UCLA). Which do you guys think is better? CNL is so new, that i am worried about going in the field. But, also, with all that talk of CNS moving into a doctorate, I am also worried about becoming a CNS--did not intend on getting a doctorate. Also, does school name matter in selecting a nursing school? UCLA is obviosly a better "name" than fresno state. Do you get paid more if you came from a better school? THANKS for all your help!
