  1. Switching Career at 35 married w/children...scared to death!

    mommyonamission replied to stokesc's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it too. I'm 33 and can't really start any program until next Fall at the earliest but I'm not letting it stop me. With your legal background it sounds like legal nurse consulting is...

  2. Another person needing job advice!!

    mommyonamission replied to blackpants22's topic in General Nursing

    If you're willing to lose the offer of this job, then I agree - stand your ground. Tell them you're interested in the position and would like to accept BUT you would need to make X minimum salary to...

  3. advice needed re: job opportunity

    mommyonamission replied to southlandrn's topic in Research

    I worked in research for about 3 years. I agree with a lot of what's already been said. My personal opinion, based on your situation, would be for you to possibly wait out where you are now and get...

  4. ANA national headquarter officers' salaries

    mommyonamission replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow. Salary determination for this type of association is surprising but perhaps it points to their profitability and long term

  5. absn or rn?

    mommyonamission replied to MadameFreckles's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting - I didn't hear that, but there were a lot of steps to their admissions so maybe I missed

  7. absn or rn?

    mommyonamission replied to MadameFreckles's topic in General Nursing

    Not all the community colleges in NC have a time limit on your sciences. For example, Durham Tech does not have a limit for college-level courses completed with a C or better. At least that's what I...

  8. Need advice about leaving a position.

    mommyonamission replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - ok let me see if I can help you. I own a staffing firm and so have been dabbling with HR matters and recruiting. First, it sounds as though you've already made up your mind BUT you're trying to...

  9. A & P 1 online a good idea?

    mommyonamission replied to jswitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good question and I'm not sure. I would think that the fact that your school offers an online class in A&P I is some proof that they are prepared to make it as close to comparable as the in-class...

  10. I have a question.

    mommyonamission replied to sluyterfamily's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to notifying the state BON, I would also notify her current employer. Protecting the patient is numero uno and perhaps not being able to work in NY either could be one more realization to...

  11. Nursing Faculty Shortage and Salaries

    mommyonamission replied to Rhilogan's topic in General Nursing

    I am really shocked at the salaries as I definitely believe they should be

  12. Do you know anyone who used Nursing as a stepping stone to something else?

    mommyonamission replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know people who have gone into nurse epidemiology/infectious disease prevention, worked for a non-profit as a nurse educator, gone into research, with a MSN or higher gone into nurse...

  13. NCCU's program

    mommyonamission replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeah same for me too. And you're right, I think ABSN is for second degree students only. The only thing I'm really concerned about for the BSN option is the cost (and the chances of getting...

  14. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

    mommyonamission posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi - I'm just about 95% sure that I want to get a nursing degree. However, before I spend the time and money to finish up some prerequisites (starting this Fall) I wanted to get as much advice from...

    mommyonamission replied to mommyonamission's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh ok yeah I think I remember you! I definitely remember the question As for me being a blonde, ha! I do want to dye my hair though I was sitting towards the back...near the door...just in case my...

  16. NCCU's program

    mommyonamission replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Really? Wow. Yeah I heard they had a pass rate slightly under 85% recently so that is a marked improvement from that 60s rate. I think I'm going to try to visit the program to find out more in

  17. Duke ABSN

    mommyonamission replied to ckgdurham's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi - where are you taking your courses? I'm assuming not at Durham Tech since the time frame doesn't fit. Just curious about where you'll be able to start Micro in Aug and start A&PII in Oct....

  19. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

    mommyonamission replied to mommyonamission's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh I think I'll be ok with A&P because they said if it's a college-level A&P I then I don't have to take it over. Also this morning I went on the website to compare the course description to...

  20. Highly motivated pre-nursing now getting discouraged

    mommyonamission replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes please keep me posted. I really don't know what my life is going to be like next year because all I know is, at this rate, I still won't have an income and I'll have nothing to do BUT go to...

  21. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

    mommyonamission replied to mommyonamission's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I appreciate your input on this. I've actually been doing just that (working my backwards) because I want to make sure that I go the right route to get there. I've been toying with the idea of staying...

    mommyonamission replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    mommyonamission replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NCPhoenix, you're like me in some ways in that you're thinking too far ahead and it sounds like you're having a bad day (I had a really bad day today myself). But I think you'll be fine. As I tell my...

  24. Nursing Education and the Recession - Tough Economic Times

    mommyonamission replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks so much VickyRN for your thorough response. I had no idea that certain areas of the country aren't feeling the nursing shortage as much and it has really opened my eyes. It gives me a much more...

  25. Nursing Education and the Recession - Tough Economic Times

    mommyonamission replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I find your post to be VERY interesting because for years I've been told there's a nursing shortage and the amount of nursing jobs is really some proof in the pudding. As someone who's considering...
