found this offensive, someone has to start somewhere, at one point some oldies looked like this at one point and not every single nurse is "baby"...I have a 47 yr old in my class and Im 37..so economy issues, flexibility issues what forced us to change winds...

Scratch that, its in the NY, NJ or/and surrounding areas

also just like in Computers which people no longer accepting Associates much in the computer world, more BSN...I thought that it is mandatory by law to get a BSN in Nursing and you have a 10 yr window to do that...I was told this..after getting my feet wet in anything I could grab, I'm planning to go on University of Phoenix Online to get my BSN there

not for nothing this is everywhere, it happen in the school system where I used to be a lunch lady..all those women that were working in this town were fired, working 20 semi yrs or more..making 25-28 or up to 30 dollars an hr and privatize all the cafeterias and hired some of the ladies back BUT 12 bucks an hr or some 9 dollars an hr again....in the Computer Business is happening too my husband has a BSN but might be thinking getting Masters since he needs to keep up with the trend..he has seen older people getting let go and given a severance package..one recent one to an older gentleman in his late 50s, he only got a month worth and he didn't take it =( and this is the Federal Reserve!!!! so I see that is not only in the Nursing Field but everywhere else...higher pay is one of them I say

I had Bs on Bio and A- in Chemistry, have a 3.5 GPA BUT I had 65 on my TEAS and still was put on a waiting list and when I was ready to reapply for the TEAS and Nursing Program, got a called I was accepted and it was a race to get everything done! now two wks and I will have my orientation...Good Luck and keep being persistent!!! You can do it!!!

Very Interesting and Thank God my Husband has Chest hairs LOL...
