Hi everyone. I have been following these threads for about five months now and have found them very helpful. Thank you. I can use some advice -- I had a 23 year career in publishing, have an MBA from a great school, etc. My industry is kind of dieing, not kind of, is, and I'm scrapping by on freelance projects while taking the nursing prereqs at my local cc. I hadn't taken a science class since 9th grade and was scared of it, but am halfway through API am happy to report I have 95. It will take me a minimum of another 9 months for me to complete all the prereques to get into an accelerated BSN program...hopefully William Paterson. I've read a lot on here about their being no jobs out there and lots.backbiting in the profession, etc.. I might be getting cold feet. I am trying to get a volunteer gig at a hospice because I think I'd like to do end of life care or psychiatric nursing, but even that is a process. Are there jobs in those fields? I could move out of nnj, but prefer not to. Thanks.
