Hi everyone. I'm looking for any advice you can give. I'm a 27yr old who has already obtained 1 bachelor's degree (English & Art History). I have been working since graduation, but not finding satisfaction in what I've been doing. For the past year, I've been working in the medical insurance industry, which has gotten me thinking about what I'd really like to be doing. I'm currently looking at going back to school to become an RN. Right now, my primary candidate for a school is the Mt. Carmel College of Nursing here in Columbus, OH. I have no idea what to expect. My head is full of so many questions that I don't even know where to start. So I guess I'll start with: what all should I expect as far as coursework? What's the program like? (I know they'll differ somewhat from school to school, but much of it should be similar, I should think.) Being that this is a total change of pace from what I went to school for before, what all should I expect? Lab work? Papers? Tests? Also, when it comes time for my graduation, how difficult/easy do you think it is to get a job as a newly licensed nurse? Seriously, at this point, I'm looking for all the insight you all can give a newbie. All advice is welcome. I promise to come up with more detailed questions eventually, but for right now, I'm sticking to the more broad/general end of things. Thanks to all who respond!!!
