Icu_rn88 I sent you a private message a few days ago. And I took the ccrn and passed!

At your first appointment you will most likely do a skills survey to see what career field matches your skills. What is your end goal? What do you want to do in nursing?

Yes bring all that stuff and remember the focus is to make you employable as an NP, advanced practice nurse, or whatever you are trying to do that happens to require an MSN

Just go into a field of nursing where you can sit a lot... Do some research. Fyi if you do have knee pain often, keep in mind that nursing school has clinical and you will be on your feet for that.

Oh and I'm waiting to hear from Drexel.

Awesom! I'm actually in a similar boat as you. Taking that CCRN on Friday. Not planning on taking GRE. Did you use Laura Gasparis for the CCRN? Good luck and be confident during that interview!

Hey there. Did you get into nursing school? That's one step, another is to apply to voc rehab of you already haven't.

Either show your counselor the different jobs nurses due that don't interfere with the disability, or get a new counselor

Very inspiring!
