I've decided that instead of living in Boston i want to live in Salem, MA and live my life there. I'm currently in Milwaukee, WI at Alverno College and graduating in 2015. After that I want to move to Salem and work as a Nurse there. But my main goal is to be an Nurse Practitioner. That is if I don't have to get my doctorate (thats another can of worms). How much does a new grad Nurse generally start out with in Salem? What are you currently making after x amount of years working in Salem? And umm I wanna say Happy Halloween (because its Salem of course) super duper early because its coming up and i just love Halloween XD.

For your information, the CNA class that best fits my schedule is $750, and as for Alverno, financial aid paid all of it's tuition for me. And you clearly over-exaggerated the debt amount. My student loans so far is under $7,000, and that is because I missed the opportunity to apply for a Grant that that I was eligible for because I did not know of it at the time. I'm better prepared for next year when I have to apply for financial aid, and will hopefully be able to accept less loans. A BSN in Nursing is better than an ADN, for numerous reasons. For one, you have a better chance of getting supervisory positions and are a bit closer to be a Charge Nurse or a Head Nurse even. Do you research before you start "yelling" out ridiculous things and assumptions. As far as I'm concerned, in Milwaukee, you do get paid more with a BSN and more jobs are requiring that a RN has a BSN opposed to an ADN.

Hello, I am a college freshmen at Alverno. Today I went to orientation, and we all talked about professionalism, networking, and building resumes for prospective employers. I'm brand new, I don't have any healthcare experience, and I'm still trying to get money to pay for expensive CNA classes. Besides working as a CNA, what activities can I partake in to start building an impressive resume for my nursing career? Thank You in Advance.

Hi all, I am new to allnurses.com. But before I signed up, I would come here a lot and read questions I might have had at the time and stuff..this site seems nice. For my question, I am a freshman at Alverno College in Milwaukee, WI and Nursing is my major. I would really like to become a CNA to start off and get a feel for the hospital environment. The accredited CNA programs are quite expensive, and I don't have the money to pay for it. Are there any programs in Milwaukee that anyone here from Wisconsin knows of that will help me pay for most or all of CNA course tuition? Anyone know of any grants or scholarships I can look into? Any insight will be helpful. Thanks
