  5. Would you become an RN again if you had the choice?

    Ambitiouz replied to eminthesr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Definitely not. Only been in it 2 yrs and I've already determined it's not worth the stress in the end...to me. I don't know about whether getting a MSN or NP is worth it. I'm still debating that...

    Ambitiouz replied to RNCDN's topic in Nursing Career

  8. How did you *know* your specialty and when?

    Ambitiouz replied to misscherie's topic in General Nursing

    Been a nurse for almost 2 years. I started in the ICU not by choice but because that's where I got my first job offer. It's not where I want to be and I will be changing to another specialty as soon...

  10. Finally decided to quit nursing

    Ambitiouz replied to jennjen512's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP, I commend your brave decision. I went per diem at my job to make it more manageable but it's not the cure. After barely 2 yrs in nursing and researching options...I've come to the conclusion that...

  11. Is it really worth it to get your bachelor in today's economy?

    Ambitiouz replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Students

    I don't know if it's worth it yet. I just completed my BSN in December 2011, which took 3 semesters going part-time, all while working full-time. The rn-bsn program was like a part-time job to me. So...

  12. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    Ambitiouz replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, you're not the only one that feels this way. When I was looking for an RN-BSN completion program, I felt many of them were scams, every place had their own set of prereqs, for example...requiring...

    Ambitiouz replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I got my ADN in May 2010. I just graduated with my BSN from the university of central oklahoma in December 2011 so it took about 3 semesters for me to finish taking classes part-time. I did all this...

  14. NP vs. PT/OT

    Ambitiouz replied to gonzo83's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks lily. I have noticed many schools are requiring science prereqs to actually be no more than 5 years old, which is somewhat unrealistic if one spends a couple years getting pre-reqs for nursing...

  15. NP vs. PT/OT

    Ambitiouz replied to gonzo83's topic in Nursing Career

    Bumping this thread for responses. I am also thinking about graduate school options in the future. A lot of RNs I know are in NP or PA school, however, I don't know any that are going back for OT or...

  16. Need advice for my issue

    Ambitiouz replied to sara2011's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    It's OCU isn't it? I'd go out on a limb and expose them and make others aware of the unethical business practice they are using to pull in extra tuition dollars! I agree with the previous poster and...

  17. Are we trapped by our nursing degrees? Is nursing worth it?

    Ambitiouz replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering this too. A large number of those who think a nursing degree is so versatile are those who aren't even in it or trying to get

  18. Are we trapped by our nursing degrees? Is nursing worth it?

    Ambitiouz replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I feel trapped into nursing. I will be finishing my RN-BSN program this December, I went directly into it after getting my RN last year so I guess I wished I took more time to think about...

  19. Is a bsn degree viewed the same as any other college degree if seeking unrelated jobs

    Ambitiouz replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    Going through the trouble of getting a BSN doesn't mean that one wouldn't work as a nurse for awhile. Nursing is okay but if one gets tired of nursing then whats the big deal of doing those...

  20. Can I still be a great nurse if I am shy/introverted?

    Ambitiouz replied to onlyj's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm as shy and introverted as they come. I had difficulty getting through nursing school as well. At work I have the reputation of being quiet and shy. I honestly like it that way because I am...

  21. Is a bsn degree viewed the same as any other college degree if seeking unrelated jobs

    Ambitiouz replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    This is something I've questioned as well. I don't have a previous BS degree. I'll be finishing my RN-BSN degree in December and really one of the major reasons I went back for the BSN was so that I...

  22. If you won the lottery would you still work in health care?

    Ambitiouz replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing
