Hi Guys! I am actually writing this for a friend of mine, she doesn't have an account on here but I do. I am actually taking my pre reqs to get into nursing school while she is on her 2nd semester already. She is doing wonderful, and she is 8 months pregnant. Her question is this: She is due end of april and a couple of her teachers don't want her to do clinicals after giving birth for the first 6 weeks...because it's one 12 hour shift...she wants to know, is there a law or rule that students that just had a baby can't work 8 hour shifts + the first 6 weeks of giving birth? She heard some people got around this,and if anyone knows how please help..because she is allowed to attend class but not clinicals by some teachers for 6 weeks...any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:):)

I don't usually comment on posts, just read them but your post made me want to write something. The compassion and care you demonstrated to the elderly patient made me tear up, what a wonderful nurse you must be. I am currently taking 2 out of my 3 pre reqs before I apply to nursing school and I aspire to become the kind of nurse you demonstrated to be in your post. Thank you for sharing your story, I hope the elderly man is okay and I hope your mom is better. Take care.

Thank you all for your responses. I called West Coast University but at 15,000 a semester for a total of 8 semesters, I just can't afford. So looks like I will take my 3 pre reqs starting in January and apply next fall for admissions to get my AA from a city college and then get my RN, if anyone knows a better way and quicker and affordable,please let me know:) thank you

Hi, I live in California and I graduated from Cal state Fullerton in 2007 with a degree in Communications and an emphasis in Journalism. After working for a couple years I decided to become a Nurse. I am going to take my Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology in the next couple of months before applying to Nursing school. My question is, I am going to get an AA degree. But is there a way I can get my BSN since I already have a BA? Or are there accelerated options for Nursing school so I don't have to wait till September of next year to apply? Thank you for anyones input.
