Well after doing some more digging on their program through some online research it seems as though they have had a recent history of being put on probationary status because they missed the...
Jpeters, I have to say that both of your posts on this topic give a remarkable perspective and interpretation of the problem. I like your stance to not work for a hospital that does not welcome new...
Yeah, I'm hearing a lot about new grads not being able to find jobs too but it really does DEPEND ON WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING! That seems to be the trend hands down. That said, here in the Raleigh/Durham...
Yeah, that's what me and my husband were thinking too...that having the RN designation regardless of the ADN or BSN route will not matter, dependent on some jobs of course. My career recently has been...
You gave the same advice (minus the MSN program info) that my husband gave and I can understand that side to things too. Especially since our financial situation isn't too rosy right now with just one...
I like your perspective. I've also thought about it that way too. I know that whatever I decide I'll give it my all but I also don't want to waste any time and spend too many years on gaining an...
Thanks, I've considered that too. As for the MSN entry route, never thought about it actually...I'll take a look at what's in my area. The A&P I was so long ago and the schools I've been looking...

I don't know if I can answer all of your questions without knowing more about your situation. But, my recommendation would be for you to choose a career based on who YOU are as a person and what...
VickyRN, points well taken! What I don't understand is how hospitals have numerous nurse openings (at least according to their websites) yet so many nursing grads that you know are unemployed. Of...
Wow I never fainted before (well almost when I locked my knees during a hot summer day of band camp...yes, I'm a former band geek..proud and true), BUT I will say that I emphasize with your worries...
That's fine I guess. I do know that some schools for the ABSN programs I've been looking into (i.e. UNC) want you to mention every single college course and college institution you've been to, or else...
I think you should be applauded for taking this step. I'm also a mom in my 30s and while I do have a supportive husband, I can sort of relate to your story. I've been impacted by the healthcare...
Hi and welcome to allnurses! I just joined this morning myself. So, first of all, congrats on making this decision. Based on the overall vibe I got from your post, you seem enthusiastic and...
