  1. Having a baby during first year of working as a nurse

    NAURN replied to MegzRNSTL's topic in Nursing Career

    BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!!!! I got pregnant in my last semester. Graduated in Dec, had him in Jan (whew!). I took my boards somewhere in there (I can't even remember but I did pass so...) I think it was...

  2. AAS vs AA vs AS when going for BSN???

    NAURN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am looking to go back to school for my BSN. I currently have an associate's in applied science-nursing. As I am looking at programs for RN-BSN, I am noticing that the General Ed requirements are a...

  3. If you could rewind and do it over again...

    NAURN replied to NurseBanana's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not a NP but NPs are getting more and more autonomy these days... in the state of GA, NPs can open their own practices. I am actually looking into NP programs right now. If I had it to do all...

  4. Master's degree, or post-baccalaureate certification

    NAURN replied to JRockey76's topic in Nursing Career

    I am also pondering this as well. I am pretty sure of the NP route... FNP. It seems to be the most versatile. Management does have high paying jobs (CNO) but for me, I don't think I would enjoy that....

  5. Mayo Clinic Reality

    NAURN replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Career

    There are wonderful hospitals out there that isn't necessarily the mayo clinic. I work for a hospital in GA where nurses do have a voice, we are adequately staffed, we do get yearly evals to fill out,...

  6. How did you escape the floor?

    NAURN replied to slumdogthousandaire's topic in Nursing Career

    I got out of floor nursing by taking a position in an ICU. I LOVE IT. It fits me well, higher acuity but only 2 patients per nurse so its doable and I get to actually spend time with my pts. There is...

  7. How to become certified in an area of nursing

    NAURN replied to Azure1213's topic in Nursing Career

    As an RN, you can work as an RN anywhere where an RN license is required. Your instructors more than likely have their master's in their specialty fields... which is the MSN and you choose a specialty...

  8. ADN or BSN?

    NAURN replied to traces's topic in Nursing Career

    I thought getting my ADN first would be good... I had no desire to go further, plus my idea was to complete sooner so I can make money sooner. Now I want to go back and get my MSN.... which I need my...

  9. Moving up in the Nursing World

    NAURN replied to kjcheno's topic in Nursing Career

    I am looking into MSN programs now, you can do NP, Leadership (management), or education. If you already have your BSN, you can work as a manager or director (usually MSN is preferred but not...

  10. Will Rheumatoid Arthritis keep me from becoming a nurse?

    NAURN replied to Umeed's topic in Nursing Career

    I think if your RA is under control, you can definitely do it. And there are always areas of nursing that you can choose that may be less physically

  11. So many options and don't know which is the right one.

    NAURN replied to miwa033's topic in Nursing Career

    Get your GPA up with your science courses... You are awarded an associates degree when you complete nursing school so just make sure any pre reqs left you ace. Also you can take courses that aren't...

  12. A.A.S vs. AS

    NAURN replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are ever going to be interested in a BSN, look and compare the different programs... some of the courses may transfer better than the others. I have AAS seeking a BSN and don't anticipate any...

  13. Help me decide please!!!!

    NAURN replied to jeepers06's topic in Nursing Career

    No time is going to be the right time... so if its something you really want to do, you just have to go for it. The nursing shortage is still there... GO FOR

  14. what do u think??

    NAURN replied to calihelper's topic in Nursing Career

    I think its

  15. What to do w/ all these pre-reqs?!

    NAURN replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    But if you are going to spend 4 years doing it, get your BSN for sure. Its a lot of headache to get it later (trust

  16. What to do w/ all these pre-reqs?!

    NAURN replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    The community college I went to right out of HS was one year of full time pre req and 2 years for associates... so 3

  17. What's your RN experience

    NAURN replied to DorothyR's topic in Nursing Career

    I love what I do. I am fortunate to work for a smaller hospital where everyone knows each other and it is a very nurturing environment. And the people I work with in the ICU are like my extended...

  18. Magnet Leadership Degree Dilemma

    NAURN replied to katmeup7's topic in Nursing Career

    If they will pay for it, and you like your job, I would just go back and get the BSN. You can do it totally on line in a few semesters, probably even sooner for you since some of you previous...

  19. Which Nursing Degree is Ideal for a Lawyer?

    NAURN replied to Alligator4's topic in Nursing Career

    There are nurses who work as legal consultants... They usually require quite a bit of nursing experience and usually a BSN, but that's a way to use both aspects, as long as you are willing to get the...

  20. Information Overload...need some advice badly!

    NAURN replied to justdoitright's topic in Nursing Career

    I say if its something you want to do, GO FOR IT. My advice tho, would be to consider the ADN opposed to the LPN... they are phasing LPNs out and you may have a hard time finding a job. Also with an...

  21. How to become a diabetes nurse educator?

    NAURN replied to emergencyRN757's topic in Nursing Career

    You can totally do what you're wanting to do. Get your BSN, you can even get it online. There are different routes you can go from there. I am sure there are certificates you can get for diabetes...

  22. Working While in Nursing School

    NAURN replied to luvmydogNC's topic in Nursing Career

    I would recommend part time as well. Full time would be too much. I worked weekends as a CNA so I could not have any issues with classes or clinicals during the week. It worked out

  23. going back to school...

    NAURN replied to sunnyskiesRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Many of the RN-MSN programs do this (I am researching MSN programs as well) where they don't award you the BSN, only the MSN, which is fine if you FINISH. If you stop for any reason and don't go on,...

  24. I've had it with bedside nursing! What else can I do?

    NAURN replied to PCU_RN9's topic in Nursing Career

    I never liked med/surg nursing because I never felt like I was really caring for my pts... only completing tasks. I am in ICU now and have been for 4 years and I love it. Its not to say that I have...

  25. Entry-Level MSN (NP specialties)

    NAURN replied to dani888's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. You will have to do an accelerated BSN as a second degree since you have a bachelors in something other than nursing, than you can transition into the MSN program, in which you HAVE to choose...
