hello i already have a BA in economics(gpa 2.9 will that be a problem?). but i am interested in becoming an RN. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good Associates degree RN school in NYC.? it is my understanding that associates degree is shorter and less expensive route than a BSN in achieving my goal. i definately need a paid job on the side during my studies. also i will be volunteering at a local hospital soon. any advice on that? is there usually options to choosing which dept to work for? if so any recommendations? i like fast paced work. i only worked in a hospital once, but it was in the computer lab.
