I agree with most everyone else, go for LPN and see where it takes you. Try another school maybe they have better counselors that will encourage you instead of discouraging you.

The truth is I was a CNA for a year and knew from that point that I could handle a career in nursing. Yes of course the knowledge that I will not have to worry about losing my job and I will have a good income are perks but they are not why I am going to school to be a nurse. I also like having a career where I know I can make a difference.

I am starting my final semester in nursing and so far Pharm was difficult and did require memorization and lots of study time BUT it is ALL important info you will need when in clinical and for the rest of your career. But in my opinion Pathophysiology is the hardest. It is a lot of content in a short time span and you really have to know your **** and you can't memorize it because you instructors will ask you questions in clinical about things you never thought of. So be well prepared. Patho is very interesting though and if you did well in Anatomy and Physiology you should do well.

The difference is only that a nurse with a BSN can take a supervisory/management position right out of school and of course get more pay. If a ADN student and a BSN student both graduated at the sametime and took the boards and passed and then applied for the same job at the same hospital they WOULD get paid the same. THe reason for this is that they take the exact same state boards. I hope this helps.

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. Do you know or do you know where I can get information about an Associate Degree Registered Nurse being able to work in the UK? I'm not able to find information telling me if my education is sufficient to practice there? Please let my know, Thank you jenny
