Austin 404, I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that anyone thought ADN was a stopping point for education. Thank you for the encouragement, but of course this information is discouraging because it changes the path in which we get to the final endpoint. It will take a lot more time and money out of our pockets. I had intended on following the same path as ruddergrl and madterriers: ADN to working nurse/bridge student to bachelors. I planned on taking a lower paying, part-time job while going through the nursing program for 2 years. I cannot support my family on a lower paying job for 4 years, especially when the last 2 years are going to be significantly higher tuition rates. The solution is a little more complicated then just getting into a bachelors program. It is better to be informed on this and somewhat discouraged then it is to be ignorant about your career strategy and your future. It's also important to get the word out because that will drive the demand for a solution or alternative path for others who are in our same situation.

Thank you. That's the kind of info I was looking for. Good luck!

All of you are further along than I am so I am hoping for some advice. I anticipate finishing my pre-req's in December 2011 and then applying for the Fall 2012 semester. I've already taken all my co-req's so once I complete the pre-req's, I will only have RNSG classes to take. Is there any way to speed up the program by taking RNSG classes in the Summer or adding a level 2 class while I am level 1 or something? Thank you, in advance.

Question: were the "Nurses who were the MOST wonderful Human beings" ever bullied?

I'm in one of his classes now and I am concerned. He seems to spend most of the time reading bullet points and doesn't provide context or relevance. He prefaces how he would like things done by providing examples of "moronic" previous students. It's a little intimidating. Am I alone?

how much do clinical assistants/patient tech's make in TX?

How much should a new ADN expect to make in the ICU? What are the highest paying departments in a hospital setting for a new ADN? Thanks

I am a pre-nursing student at Austin Community College. I am HORRIBLE at math. However I have to take a college level math class next semester. Choosing which math class is like choosing which tooth I want to be pulled out so I am hoping someone with more experience can help me out and tell me which is the best math class to take for the nursing program (best, as in, most relevant and not terribly difficult) Thanks for your suggestions.
