Useless is one hell of an impressive song.

This is very helpful information for me. I know that I will have to keep my head up as I enter Nursing school. I only see one Male Nursing Instructor listed and I know the student female to male ratio will about 25:1 if not, more. I also know that I will still have make sure anything I say is said, has much more thought used before as not to draw myself into any unneeded conflict.

I am sorry it may be taking so long for you. I would suggest calling Good Sam and ask they may be able to give you a time frame for an answer. Good luck.

Well I can see your education should make you great nurse, but since I have never done part learning before.... if you are looking for reimbursement from where you are working. You will definitely need to look into how their reimbursement program may work and if it will allow you work on very part time basis. Good luck to you.

I am not sure how anyone could balance work as an ER nurse and working out to be a UFC fighter, but it is strictly awesome.

I used sell shoes when I was an undergrad...think Al Bundy. Ok, bad joke. Well I would go with what czyja said about rotating your shoes if your feet are still hurting. If they continue hurting, you may want to consult a Podiatrist in your area to maybe give a few tips. That is just my advice.

Well I hope that 'new grad' cases will not be as bad as I have heard when I graduate. But I wish good luck to you all and I hope you will find your career soon, and I wish you all luck in your future endeavors.

Well just remember to do what makes you happy.

Are you looking to stay in the Massachusetts area, or are you are also looking to try to maybe look around the other states?

Congrats

hey chris, i am almost right along with the previous two other posts, except that i graduated with three bachelors degrees in international business, international affairs, and history. i worked for an international steam ship company for a number of years before i made up my mind to change careers. i had thought of transferring into nursing during my undergrad years, but i realized that the extension of classes also add large number of years and cost. so it took until now, 4 years after my undergrad to go back to nursing school. i also took a pay cut as i pursue nursing as career change, but we all do things for our own reasons. as each of the previous posts said, go for what you want. i know i am sacred as well, atleast too be making such jump back in school after four years out and for the career change, but i know it will be worth it in the end. my girlfriend is completely supportive of me, i think she wanted me to become a nurse as a undergrad but she never pressured me enough…oh well. also remember, the more education you have, ‘usually the further and faster you can climb up a the totem poll.’ good luck chris with whatever path you choose.

well both replies have given me some insight of what i 'might' expect to hear after as i peruse my nursing degree. again, i want you to know that you seem be taking everything quite well, trefer84, and hopefully nothing will get you down about it. also, i hope there isn't too much more heavy lifting for you.
