MOTOvation

I haven't even started college yet, but i'd like to say a few things:) It can be hard to stay motivated sometimes, but try to remember what used to get you motivated when you first started out. Go to Google and read some success stories about Nursing. Think about how you're not only going to be helping yourself, but a lot of people daily. You guys are a special bunch of people, and I can't wait to be part of the group one day!! Good luck to you and keep your head up :)

Thanks for all the info!!!:)

Thanks!! What do you mean by high school selling me short? I didn't finish high school, but I passed the GED December of last year. I hope that won't be of any trouble. Oh, one more thing. After I get my BSN, I want to go for Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. From what i've read, i'd have to work a few years NICU, then go on to get my MSN, which is 2 years. Is that correct?

Hey guys! :) I'm new here, so don't be too hard on me. :) I'm sure this has been asked/answered before, but I can't find it. I start college in a few months and am shooting for my BSN. I've looked around and from what I've read, it takes 4 years. Now, does it take 4 years in Nursing School excluding core, or 4 years in all including core classes and what not. They way it sounds to me is that I would go 2 years core, then 2 years Nursing School for my BSN? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
