Dungbeetle, your post made so much sense. I always say that education could never be wasted. This is especially true for the trades where you pick up tangible life skills. I really take your posts...

My husband is a CPA and I've actually worked in corporate tax. I always saw it as a pink collar job, similar to teaching and cosmetology...but that is splitting hairs...I get what you're saying. Are...

After spending tons on law school, I plan on attending PBSC for pre-reqs, and preferably FAU for its ABSN. However, I'll go to PBSC for its BSN, which is schedulled to start in January 2012. Also,...
These posts are helping to get me psyched and ready for sciences. I got spooked from majoring in anything medical-related because of bio and chem. Now that I'm in my 30s, with life experience, I...

I apologize if I've offended you in anyway. I only have the JD, and since you have both the RN and JD, I defer to your experiences. Your last post expressed your intent more clearly and I truly...
It does, tremendously. It lowers the pressure of only focusing on the ABSN. By doing the ADN, I can get back to the workforce quicker. After reading your post, I asked my best friend (a nurse)...
MrMedical, thanks for posting this. So, to make sure I understand what you've said, my goal is the ABSN at FAU, but you're saying most of the BSN classes at FAU can be taken online? Intriguing. I...

Hi choco80, I had to wait until my hubby was done with his CPA testing and busy-season travelling. We also moved back to Florida, it made more sense to wait once I arrived here. Now that I'm back in...
Shook, Hardy and Bacon is an international law firm searching for a Nurse Analyst. If I were an RN, this would be an opportunity that I would be extremely interested in. I hope I can live vicariously...

NightNurse876, thank you for responding. I don't want to have to go back to school later, which is precisely why the BSN is definitely what I'd prefer to shoot for, especially since this is my second...
If I earn my LPN, I'll enter the workforce in mid-2012. But with my BSN, it'll be 2013 (if I do an accelerated program). I'm going back to S. Florida (Miami-Ft.Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area). With...

You're not alone! eHugs! I reached out to someone who has a doctorate in nursing, as well as a JD. She was a nurse first, then a lawyer, and now an educator running a nursing program at a large...

Hello all! This is my first post. I am so happy to have read this thread. I too have my JD. I was a prosecutor right out of law school. I took some time off to stay home with my kids. Now, the economy...
