Do you know if Excelsior college considers dietitians in their ASN program? I just discovered them online. Thanks! Melissa

Thanks so much for your encouraging words!! I encourage you to become a nurse practitioner too! Have you looked into it much? I'm about to make some calls, but it seems like you don't have to have a BSN; you can have a bachelor's in another field as long as you are an RN. Best Regards, Melissa

Wow, I love this site! I am an RD, MS working part-time. And I am tired of being a dietitian- it's limiting and unrewarding. I have been looking into nursing and will be going to the local community college to meet with an advisor tomorrow. They have a two-year RN program (A.S.). I was thinking of maybe someday going for nurse practitioner (that's a big maybe), but I'd like to leave my options open. I thought I was crazy for wanting to get a 2nd degree, and I was nervous to go back to school. I'm 37 with two kids; what am I thinking?? So it's so great to hear that other RD's are thinking like me! I guess an RN/RD combo could be good, especially in education... Any words of wisdom?? Please? Thanks! Melissa
