I am starting a bsn nursing program this fall. I've been taking prerequisites since January so I'm eager and nervous to start my program! I'll be 32, by the way. :-) Good luck to you. If you want it badly enough, you will succeed!
Thank you all so much! I am a bit nervous about juggling my course load with family life already since I'll be taking about 17 credit hours a semester. I think I'll see how my first semester goes and then start applying more aggressively after that.
Hello! I am starting my first semester in a BSN program this fall and have been applying for numerous PCT jobs over the past three months at the local hospitals. I have no experience in healthcare but I do have my CNA license and am BLS certified. I have had only had one interview (didn't get the job). My question is - should I start seeking work in long term care just to get experience although I have NO desire to work in a nursing home? Will my chances at getting an interview increase once I've finished my first clinicals? I don't have to work for financial reasons but I'm worried that if I don't have any experience, I will have a harder time getting hired on as RN.
