Thank you so much, Meriwhen , for your detailed reply. Very helpful!

I am 35 now, with 5 and 1/2 years old twin boys, a ADN and a RN licence that I got almost 6 years ago, but no working experience as a nurse (I was pregnant with my twins during the last semester, so less than 4 months after graduation, I became a stay-at-home mom. ) I totally understand that it is very tough to get a nurse job nowadays even with years of nursing work experience. Many employers requires BSN degree which I don't have. The chance of getting a job seems very slim for me. I am wondering anyone can share your thoughts about how I can get a nursing job in my situation, what I should do to have more chance of getting hired, do I have to get BSN? Thank you very much.

I am wondering anyone can share your thoughts about how to be a Psychiatric Nurse, do I have to take ADN to BSN courses to be qualified? Any input is appreciated.
