Oh man!!!!! I see what you are saying. Maybe I am still trying to figure out the details of my career path. I know I want some type of administrative/leadership role. Not sure if that means Nurse manager, Clinical Administrator type things, DON maybe? or even working somewhere in Administration ....I have even dabbled in some LNC stuff, so not sure how/if that would benefit me either... I just want to get on the correct path with my education. I am okay if my mind changes in a few years.. which I am sure it will but I can just keep going on my path, I'll feel good about that. Thanks for your valuable input.

Thanks so much for the response. That helps a lot.

So I guess my more appropriate question would be, Am I qualified to be in a leadership position with an Education MSN? Or a Clinical Nurse Leader/specialist ?

I was hoping you guys could help me decide about which MSN to get. I want to do leadership/administration. I got into a college that is not in my state (MY GPA is 2.66 ) The tuition is going to be 25k total. SOO I started looking in my state and found a couple colleges that have tuition 7-10k totals. Problem is they don't have leadership. They have CNS, or education as their tracts. So does it really matter what you specialize in with you MSN, just as long as you have one? Like I could just use the education one for my an administrative position? I read the description of CNS/CNL and it seems to be a bedside one with some research on best practices. I am so confused on all of it. I thought I had it all figured out, until I paid attention to tuition price and it was outrageous... sooo trying to look into other things but my GPA isn't that strong so I'm wondering if I should just stick to what I have since I got in. Thanks for all your help. I searched the boards many times but couldn't find this type of question.

is there anytime you have to plan to come to campus? ie-first of the semester or last day of the semester? also, is there a requirement to check emails daily? if you already have a week vacation planned for the fall-- my wedding- just trying to see what my options are here. thanks.

i know this thread is old but i'd love info on these programs or any other RN to BSN programs in the state of alabama. if anyone out there has taken them, what were they like? hard to get into? challenging to do while working FT? just information would be wonderful. thanks.

so curious to as if anyone else has any experiences with snead's program? I"m debating on if I should do the online program there, or at Calhoun (they are offering online spring2011), or go for the classes options. Anyone have advice? occnurse1120, did you end up dropping out? Jeener, did you end up finishing up at Snead? Pros and Cons? Is this impossible with a fulltime job? Thanks guys. I can use all the advice I can get.

a suture in the head? i've never heard of that.. just blood patches, and tissue patches?

Any nurse here ever heard of CSF leaks in the skull? and if so, what was the patient like? Just curious, i was in an accident this summer and have CSF leaks from head trauma. I'm also a nursing student too, only about two more years! woowoo!

yeah i had the same question... i want to become somehow, is there such thing as a nurse that specializes in neurology?? and how do you do that? anyone? thanks so much :)

haha 9 months, dang your hands are full.... well actually i went to register at drake, and the nas class has two minimesters.. one now till oct, and then one oct-dec, and i figured better to be safe and register for the oct. one, well they said they probably wont' be doing the october-december one because no one else has signed up for it so she, mrs. cartwright, said to call her during late registration this week to see if anyone else has signed up for it... but as of last week, no one wanted the later class... so i might just be taking it at red cross... because that's the only other place that has CNA courses other than a nursing home. well good luck with your classes, i know you'll do well and maybe we can study sometime if i take my classes at drake!

hey no i'm not taking that class... they didn't tell me that. I am only taking that one class, and it only lasts until october... i'm going to register that morning, but not for the campus tour since I'm only gonna take one class.... I was injured in an accident in the beginning of July, long story... I have a CSF leak in my head so they doctors are telling me to go ahead and try the classes so I'm gonna register, but if I keep getting headaches during class, then I might just take the october class... (sorry if this makes no sense)...... I'll explain if you want me to later... but yeah.... I'm excited about Drake though, I hope I'll be able to do it.

i'll be attending there also on august 19... I am going for the CNA... and I already have my math and english courses so I'm taking the NAS100 class on M and T from 8-2. This is also my first time taking any classes there.... are you also in that class?
