Hi Everyone, I'm new here, and think this site is really cool as it provides tons of useful information. I'am currently working on my pre reqs for nursing, however I have a few questions that hopefully you guys with more experience may be able to answer. 1. I will have an associates in nursing if I decide to stay at the community college I'm at. However I will do the bridge gap program once I graduate. Rn to BSN. Is having an associates going to affect anything as far as hiring? My school has a great rep but I also have the ability to transfer to the University and get a Bsn if I want. Im just wondering the pros and cons of an associates vs BSN. 2. My dream is to work in the the NICU, I have a strong passion for this... however is it even possible as a new grad? 3. I have a small child (20 months) and I'am a single mom... will I have to work nights? I know I have a ton of questions, but Im just curious so all input is much appreciated.
