    teensmom replied to GaMBA's topic in General Nursing

    I would do the part-time BSN route. Maybe your present employer would help pay for that, as long as you kept working? I am not knocking LPN's, but there aren't many jobs out there for them. It just...

    teensmom replied to leuqar1117's topic in International Nursing

    I am 48 in an accelerated BSN. It is wonderful. Life experience really helps you think critically, the younger students just don't have the same things to draw on. I am definitely hanging in there...
