I agree with saheckler, BSN, RN about choosing the type of doctoral degree you want based on your career goals. I knew when I finished my BSN program I wanted to further my education in healthcare leadership. I read a lot of helpful input from allnurses over the years. I ended up getting a master's and doctorate degree in healthcare administration. I finished my doctorate in healthcare this year and have been happy with my decision. I had to complete the degrees that were right for me. I wish you the best in your decision.

I replied to a couple of the forums concerning research nursing tonight. I started out with no experience in research. I just applied and they gave me a chance. I ended up going to another facility and got hired. Both were teaching hospitals so I would say look at teaching hospitals and private companies for research. The criteria for the private company working at a teaching hospital didn't require me to only be a nurse. The other position constantly hired nurses who had oncology experience for oncology trials. So I would say put in the search engine at teaching hospital clinical trials and it should bring up something.

I recently replied to another forum concerning research. Have you tried looking at a teaching hospital for research jobs. I was able to gain research nurse positions with no experience by applying at a research hospital.

I have not been on here for awhile and just wanted to say Congrats.

We all have different paths in life that we take where the unexpected sometimes happens. From reading your post its seems you put a lot of time and effort into this. You have a right to go through your emotions of how you feel. Stay focused and strong and you will make it through this.

Congrats to you both.

Congrats to you. I am so happy that you obtained your dreams. I really enjoyed reading your story. I am sure that this will give many students on here hope. Thank you for posting your story.

I wrote this article because I see many students asking about information and the first place to go is the school you plan on attending. Here is some random information to get you started. Check to see when is the deadline for the application for the program. You need to make sure you have everything needed to complete your application in before the deadline date. Make sure you have take tests needed to be considered for the program completed. example:Entrance HESI, TEAS, etc. Check to make sure you have your pre reqs and the grade point average for that program to be able to apply. Make sure you know about tuition or scholarships for that school. Have any immunizations that may be asked for in the application but again everything depends on the program you apply to. I hope this article has helped at least one person.

My topic is Nursing Students Retaking Classes. I read on hear alot of times of students that have failed a class and think they should give up, but sometimes failing a class has alot to do with evaluating the why. That is why I wrote the article. Alot of times a person doesn't know where or who to turn to out of shame, embarrassment, disbelief you name it. Sometimes all many students have is allnurses to turn to when they feel they can't talk to anybody else to get advice from. So I hope all that have viewed my article it has helped someone in a positive way. I have known many people who have been in this situation over the years and sometimes all it take is evaluating where you went wrong and changing those things.

Congrats. You made it and was able to share your story, which will help others. I loved LaCharity also for studying for NCLEX.

Congrats to you.

Today I just want to give some advice to those deciding on schools that cost twice as much to be in their program. l know how hard it is to get accepted into a nursing program. I know that everybody has their own time when they think they should be in school. But I want to say step back and think things through. Look at the starting pay for nursing in your area and other areas you may wish to live. Because remember when you get out of school you still have to live. If you can wait to go to a cheaper school think about it this way, you have time to save up for your expenses in nursing school. Happy deciding to you all.

I know that it is easier said than done, but if you want it you will do it. If you really want to do nursing, find out where you went wrong and try again. If you know you weren't getting the grasp of something, get help so the next time you will make it. Life gets in the way some have it better than others, but as a nurse you will need that drive to take care of your patients. Pick yourself up and believe in yourself and try again. Sending out good vibes to whoever needs to hear this.

I have been off and on this site for years. I read how many potential LPN and RN nurses ask about where there grades should be. I would say first check with the schools you plan on attending and talking to a nursing advisor there. The reason why ever school is different and has a different set of requirements. Sometimes you will surprised at how much you will learn from just talking to one of the advisors such as scholarships etc. I just want to wish all you guys the best you potential nurses.
