    sunray12 replied to HappyPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    sunray12 replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Students

  13. Any advice is much appreciated

    sunray12 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    ^^ I agree with this. Keep in mind that working m-f, 8ish to 5ish means that you'll have a lot less free time rather than more time. I've worked this schedule most of my life so I would know. With a...

    sunray12 replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

  18. Is it more of an accomplishment to be a younger nurse?

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    It's all relative. To me getting in by late 20s still seems young. :) I do wish that I'd known that nursing was something I could have done right out of high school but on the other hand I've done a...

  19. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    sunray12 replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I choose to get a DNP (which won't really be a choice if you want to be a NP in the not so distant future anyway) it will be a professional decision - and could care less what anyone else who isn't...

    sunray12 replied to gkbroaro's topic in General Students

    I'm taking one of my prereqs at a private school in another state. It's expensive - I'll pay more for one private course than I'd pay for three courses at community college - but I've searched all the...

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    sunray12 replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community colleges in my state want a lot. If don't have any prior college credits to tr over then it takes about 4 years total for the ADN - so basically the same amount of time as a BSN. And...
