NonstopLearning

Just starting to research schools that offer online ADN to BSN/MSN programs and was curious to hear of any recommendations. I will be graduating in May 2009 from an ADN program and am learning fast I must pursue my education. I have looked at UMass Boston (ADN to BSN), not bad, just a little expensive (not a MA resident), Walden University (expensive but they offer a ADN to MSN in as little as 3 yrs), Florida State University (not sure what I think of this school). I currenlty live in Florida and want to move back to Boston, but will have an extremely difficult time finding a job without at least a BSN. Any information about those schools or any other ones would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:snowman:

Thats what I was afraid of. I have been looking into immediately applying for my BSN and have discovered ADN to MSN programs. But it definitely looks as though I am staying down south for a little longer than I was planning....

Did you graduate from and ADN or BSN? Just curious to see if it is ADNs having more of a difficult time compared to BSN grads? I am starting to think I might be better finding a position down here, although, I'm in the OB/Ped rotation and about 9 RNs (my OB instructor included) were laid off from the OB unit. So I'm wondering if new gradss all over the country are having a difficult time getting a position. Sorry, just ranting now...

Thank you for your advice. My cousin graduated up there in may and still doesn't have a job yet either, however, I equated it to her being picky on scheduling, not the market. Anyways, thanks again. I will look into both Florida and Ma as well as NH, RI.

I am a nursing student in Florida and want to move back home to Mass upon graduation. I am interested in new grad training programs but I am not sure how to search for hospitals that offer new grad training programs. I am also concerned about job hunting. I will be graduating in May 2009 with an associates degree in nursing and I'm finding many hospitals require a BSN to work?? Any thoughts, ideas, information?? Thanks for any information.:wink2:
