  1. Healthcare law & nursing

    lynnep replied to riekee's topic in Legal

    That's a very true quote! I wish I had heard it sooner. I should have mentioned in my original post that I majored in biology in college. I wanted to practice health law or possibly do advocacy...

  2. Healthcare law & nursing

    lynnep replied to riekee's topic in Legal

    I just wanted to offer an additional piece of advice - don't go to law school unless you can get into a top 25 school. We're talking 164+ on the LSAT. I made the mistake of taking the LSAT on a "dry...

  3. Rutgers Accelerated Program - Testing out of certain prerequisites

    lynnep replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Lori - I was trying to send you a private message, but I can't figure out how to do so. I'm new to the site, hmph. When I click on your info page there is no "send message" link. Oh well - I am a...

  5. Georgetown V. NYU accelerated 2nd BSN

    lynnep replied to turtles432's topic in General Nursing

    Did you apply for the Georgetown scholarship? They are offering 80% scholarship if you agree to work for the non-profit hospital they have partnered with for 3 years. In that case, I'd snap it up in...

  6. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    I think I'm going to look for a job in pharmaceutical sales, if I can get someone to give me a chance. I can try to make that biology degree work for me, and then I'll throw in the whole "law school...

  7. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh god, temping indefinitely? no no no no no. I would consider being a temp paralegal or temp attorney just while taking nursing courses at night. I plan to move to the Bradenton/Sarasota area of...

  8. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    nice links, thanks. Some of the info certainly rings clearly, though quite honestly I couldn't be talked out of law school 3 years ago. Stubborn

  9. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh good! I know some programs look at the last 60 credits rather than the whole cum. My last 60 must have been better than the first, b/c I brought my GPA up towards the end. It's hard to remember...

  10. 1st interview for new grad

    lynnep replied to quinnie50's topic in General Nursing

    Aw I know what you mean. One time in an interview I was asked what other jobs I had been applying to, and I said "um, this is the first one." (In truth, I had applied to 50 or more jobs). I thought...

  11. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Yep, the fact that the license can be used anywhere is yet another reason why I want to get an RN or BSN. I think I am on the verge of going crazy with all the thoughts that are racing through my...

  12. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Ooh! Another wonderful response! I, too, feel that I should have done nursing a long time ago. But, I didn't realize until recently that I was passionate about it. (Nor did I know of healthcare...

  13. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks so much for the reply. I am currently in NYC, but quite honestly I can't get out of here fast enough. I have loved living here, but the cost of living is extraordinary (I pay $1725 for a 375...

  14. RN Accepted into (JD-LAW) Program & NEED ADVICE.

    lynnep replied to JimK's topic in Nursing Career

    Just curious what happened after you posted? I notice no one responded before. I am graduating with a JD in 6 weeks and am thinking about getting an RN degree and doing nursing for a few years, then...

  15. JD getting RN -- where to volunteer for Experience?

    lynnep replied to ThisZfun's topic in Nursing Career

    What about doing some type of volunteer internship in health policy or health law, depending on what's available in your area. I am hoping to get into hospital administration and risk management. The...
