Thanks for the reply! The university where I am for MA has a BSN program. I briefly spoke with the Admissions Counselor regarding some of my credits being transferred in, and she stated that it STILL would take me 4 years to complete the BSN program; no matter how many electives I have!! That made me lean more towards the ADN program...I'm sorry to say this, but I just want to be DONE with undergrad...for now...This is my 6th year!

Thanks for responding!! LTC is not exactly what I'm striving for though...eventually, I would like to work in ICU or ER. I have to work in a fast paced environment...I have to keep moving!!

Hello All, I am new to this website; I have been browsing for approx. 2 weeks, and I had to join!! This site is so informative and I've learned so much over the last couple of weeks. My question is regarding which program I should enroll in. A brief history on me: I have been in undergrad. since fall of 2005; I took a semester off last spring. I just didn't know what I wanted to do...I switched my major SEVERAL times. I've majored in Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Mass Media, and Community Education. Yes, I know that is too much!! The turning point for me was when I took a semester off (for personal reasons) and took a CNA training course over the summer. I have to say I LOVED it!! I loved working with the older adults (practicum was at LTC); they loved me and appreciated me for taking care of them (very well I might add)....that, made my heart melt.... So, I decided for once and for all that I'm going to enroll in Nursing school. Now, I know that this is a very TOUGH field to get into (clinical and theory wise), but I WANT this so bad!! I was wondering if anyone could give me some encouraging words or advice on Nursing in general. I am now in school for MA, but I plan to enroll in NS as soon as I graduate, which is Spring 2011. I figure, I could gain some experience by working as a MA while going to Nursing school. Let me also say this, I'm not the best at math...I could definitely brush up on my skills, but I'm willing to put in the work to master that skill along with the science classes...any advice would be great! Thanks in advance!! Tainya~
