KeepnItReal

I did like you..I was sitting in my office after a 6 year marketing career going "ok what is my purpose in life" and looked at various careers and determined that nursing was a good fit for me. Trust me when I say when u first come in that you will have all this driven passion, but as you go along in the program and start seeing how u can really make a difference with someone stay at the hospital u change. It's a long grind, but here I am with 5 months to go. The job market is closed period, so the competition is fierce.my reccomendations is to volunteer at a hospital, then when in school look for an externship this the most critical thing to try and get..at the huge hospital chain here in southern CA it is known that they are only hiring externs..if u can't get that then look at a PCA job..ok good luck,stay organized..and just go for it!

Look at accelerated nursing degrees in your area, since you have a degree you can get into an accelerated BSN or MSN. I dropped a 7 year career in automotive marketing to go back to school. After all the stress etc. still the best decision I ever made. See what classes your missing to apply and see what ur community college has to offer. Best of luck!

Academic crime..haha how melodramatic

if you live in CA it couldn't be more accurate,maybe and hopeful not in your area, but here it is the reality

Before u know it u will be done, don't be nervous, you have a better idea what to expect and stay positive, it's not forever even though it feels like it

I read too fast I was thinking Maric College..the other I don't know about..can you crash the classes at the CC..that's what folks where I live do

Never ever go to Merritt College, stick with your doubts

...but seriously, what are you trying to say

Uhhhhhhh...sure

I love all the conspiracy theorists on here with ZERO idea of her actual situation..so typical of the posters on here..20% common sense posts and 80% ridiculous..re-read your post..you'll know if I am talking to you or not

Calm down, don't take it so personally

You could not said this more perfectly, nailed it...now if only those that spout off about how many schools they got accepted into, how great their grades are and scanning these threads to pass their "I haven't graduated yet but act like I'm a seasoned nurse" advice will stop typing about themselves long enough to read what you wrote.. OP I had a B average and will be a APN in 6 months...keep at it, good luck

Great point..if I was you I'd just be an observer until you graduate

Really bro..you are seriously asking this..lil creepy

Here's my advice..if your school runs a commercial during the Maury Povich Show you should not go to school there
