    Floor nursing to ICU? or New grad to ICU?

    deeDawntee replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    deeDawntee replied to deeDawntee's topic in General Nursing

    deeDawntee replied to mydee's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I tend to believe that if being an RN is your goal that it is best to go for it! My question to you is how much debt are you talking about? You say you won't have to work while in RN school, but...
