How did you get into nursing? I happened to do well in science courses in high school and yes....after speaking with friends and some adults, i was convinced nursing is a stable career and it was the most practical option for me. What do you like bes...

try stony brook university and binghamton university...they dont require you to have an rn degree...

I worked 12 hours 3x a week. It was one of the best experiences in my life, as Im aware it was such a rare opportunity. I was an extern in a critical care--cardiac floor. Learning and having the chance to work with the advanced equipments was one of ...

Thanks for the input....anyone knows of someone who went thru the same situation?....we have a clinical class but its more on community setting...perhaps i should take a refresher course during the summer...i cant work as an RN at all since the cours...

Just wondering how recruiters would react to my future resume... graduated from an adn program in 2010, got my license at this time...worked at a hospital for 2 months. went straight to rn-bsn school full time for another two years (without working a...

i totally can relate with your post. I am introverted, which makes it harder to make friends. I became more reclusive when I went to nursing school. Books were my constant companions. But besides that, I went to 3 schools in high school. This period ...

yes, i knew someone who failed the adn program and is now enrolled in a BSN program. The colleges are out there. I say go for it. Actually, Im going for my BSN right now. Me and this person might obtain the degree at just about the same time (i have ...

i suggest start looking into the colleges you plan to transfer to, and see if they will accept the credits from your current program...I heard people transferring their prerequisites. I'm not so sure about the nursing courses. Hmmm...One semester me...

I graduated last december 2009. In May, I landed a full time position on a med-surgical floor. I was of couse happy and my family proud. I was finally making a regular income. Midway through orientation, I got a full scholarship offer from a univers...

CNL2B nailed it =) all of the classes I have to take are on campus. It's not as "flexible" or friendly to a working RN's schedule, compared to many other rn-bsn programs nowadays. It's a state university in new jersey. Ultimately, I return to being a...

write....or id probably major in art history or philosophy (if there were bright--actually existing--job prospects for these fields)

THANK you everyone....yes, it's about time that i become confident with the choices I make regardless of what others might state. Only I know who I really am and what's best for my welfare. Thanks for the support. For now, my anxieties shall be put...

couldnt afford med school..at first, i wanted to be a doctor, but after working as a nurse, I am repelled by the lifestyle of a physician. One cannot assume that doctors are smarter or have higher IQ than nurses--but yes, they do have more knowledg...

so after getting the associates, one decides to go do the rn-bsn right away---this program will take 2 years full time (on campus)... would it hurt the resume--seeing you obtained your rn license in 2010, but didnt work at a hospital for the next 2 y...

depends on the school....

id like to agree with you too on this one...i was an extern on a critical care floor during summer last year, and loved how the nurses have an in depth knowledge of the patients. i couldnt do it on med-surg trying to get everything done... but i do A...

So here it goes... after graduating with Associates, i got a job at a med-surgical floor. but mid orientation (2 months), i quit to get the BSN (got a full scholarship provided i study full time). i do miss working...although quite relieved to save ...

i graduated last dec 09 and got a full time job at a hospital last May. Then i got a full scholarship offer from a uni--but they want me to be a full time student (starting this fall) Now, i realize how hard the job is. i actually had a 'breakdown' e...

THANK YOU everyone for the support. I chose to go back to school. sitting down with the managers was quite tough. It was the hardest decision I had to make thus far.....I only let one co-worker know about it before leaving. I had to reread the entrie...

been on the job for seven weeks (with preceptor) at a hospital....but i already feel down....i do everything i could, dont even eat anymore, but stilll feel like i havent done enough..worse, i get home thinking the things i may have missed or done wr...

Thanks everyone for the input..... I am leaving the job...will head back to school

when i said lonely...i guess im realizing i dont know anymore who's concerned of my welfare...i wanted support from family, friends and co-workers...and now im realizing their decisions for me are based on their own interests............................

Jaime, ive contemplated the same thing, but you were able to put them in words...i like nursing, but sometimes, theres that wanting to do some things more in depth that fix the heart of the matter....im about to start a 2 year rn-bsn program..but may...

I am aware that being a doctor and being a nurse are totally different...the thing is, my aunt who's been a nurse for 25 years or so, told me to consider being a doctor. she said that sometimes she wished she entered med school....i am a nurse and do...

so im a new grad, working at a hospital. now im getting overwhelmed (been working for a month. 8 patients now). I do all the meds and notes, picked up orders... but by the time i give my report, i stumble horribly for the words and significant info.....
