Guys you have given me a great idea on how to prepare myself besides the reviewing and practice questions. I am up against alot because my classes and license were in spanish! and I am a new grad. Keep it up!

You won't love it if you don't go through with it. I started being a full time student at 47 while working fulltime as well. I am 52 and was informed on Valentines' Day that I had passed my license exam. I have no regrets at all and my family and coworkers at office are still in shock and very proud....

I was a production planner for a major electronic company but it down sized and closed their company in the island; decided to study what I had always dreamed of since doing volunteer work for the Red Cross. While working for an engineering group I went for a BSN, passed my state license exam and was shocked to see nurses earning 13 & 14 an hour as well as responsible for about 30 patients 2 - 3 practical nurses to help. New grads are suppose to earn 2,300. per month, where as an experienced BSN 2,500. and we still have hospitals defying that law. No I am not working yet because I am trying to workout a budget (have a daughter attending university) so that I can survive with this wage. But no luck yet..I love nursing and people and am desperate to enter the health field.

Writing a great resumé is tough for a new grad. So can you imagine when it's a career change? I have 20 years of experience in Production Planning, Customer Service, Documentation in Construction Engineering, etc. Now how on earth do I combine this? Mam Rooky
