I'm 46yrs old. I have 5years of nursing experience. I've been kicking around going back to school for my PMHNP degree. (Looking at NKU program). But worried about investing that much more money into school loans at my age. Sadly, I'm still paying off...

Also forgot to add. My job does offer $2k per year to help pay with school. So some help, not a lot. They also have a program that offers $16k but you have to commit to them For way too long after you graduate. I don’t want to do that, because i...

I keep reading On Allnurses, about all the recently graduated nurses not finding jobs, etc... Most seem to have their ADN, Is this job shortage also true for graduate BSN? Not to take anything away from people who worked their tail off to get an ADN...

How long did it take for you to recieve a job offer? Where did you attend school? This is a huge concern, I don't want to put my head in the sand and think that it can't happen to me. I hear such mixed answers, it's hard to know what to think!

I live in the metro St. Louis, MO area

I have read multiple threads and topics that stress that nursing is all about critical thinking. Everybody stresses the high importance of this, my question is, what does that actually mean? For example, critical thinking means to me; common sense, ...

This information is a little off topic, but I am in Maryville's BSN program, and it is very unorganized! Everybody tells you something different. It is very frustrating, because it is so expensive! You wou,d think the program woukd be seamless by now...

I took stats in class and thought it was difficult. I received an A, but really worked my butt off for it! Math is not my strongest subject by far, and it stresses me out to even think about doing math. I get al flustered and freaked out for some rea...

I had finished A&P I and II with in class lab. They just started the online labs this past semester. Honestly, I can not imagine how that works our labs were so intense. I did have Micro last semester and our labs were all online. I have to tell ...

Hey, you can't ever beat an honest answer! :)

@calivianya your program is set up exactly like mine! Tough standards to say the least, which can be a lot of pressure. I always just try to think at least my school is turning out nurses that have excellent grades. I would rather have somebody takin...

@saldridge my school is in Saint Louis Missouri.

The school I attend, you are not allowed to get anything below a B, in any class or you flunk out! It's a BSN program, I am surprised to hear so many people saying the can get in the 60, and 70's % on grades and still pass. I thought all nursing sch...

I am starting my clinical portion of my BSN in the fall. I have this summer off, but I am interested in reading/studying/reviewing anything that will help me in the Fall. Nothing too crazy, but I just feel I do have some free time this summer, and if...

I was accepted into Maryville BSN WEC for fall of 2013. I can't say for certain, but last I had heard the lowest GPA that was accepted was around 3.4. Again this is just what I have heard. Not sure if that helps you or not. I can say from my experie...

I am 38 years old, this is a second career for me. I have a degree in criminal justice already. I am married with two kids (both in select sports), and work full time. I just finished a year and a half of nursing prereq's with a 4.0. I attend a BSN w...

I am 38 years old and have been in Law Enforcement for 16 years. I am doing a complete career change, I just finished up a year of pre-nursing classes and have been officially accepted into a BSN program. I will graduate in two years. My questi...

Actually, I know that's not how it works at my local hospital, my mom is a NP and my sister is an RN at this hospital and that is exactly how it works there. Again this is not the question, it's when should I make the transition.......

At our local hospital I am 100% certain this is the way it works, your non-RN job can and does count towards your RN seniority once you become an RN.

The area I live, new graduate RN normally starts at $18-20, give or take for experience, etc. So I am familiar with the rate of pay, and hours/weekends,etc... Thats not really my question. It's more when would be a good time to make the transition f...

Have not confirmed what Director said, but did talk to a small hand full of graduate students and they were offered jobs, but that was a small group. It's a shame someone would do that, but it's a business to them nothing more. The area hospital of...

All the nurses that graduated from the BSN program I am in, were offered jobs, per the Director of Nursing Program. She said that they may not have all been happy with the shift offered or the floor, but they all were offered jobs. So if that is accu...

Well I am turning 39 years old this year, I have been in law enforcement forThe past 16 years. I am finishing up my last prereq class this semester. I find out next month if I have been accepted into the BSN program. It's never too late! Good luck!!

I am 37 years old and working on my nursing prereq's. I am hoping to actually start the BSN program in the fall. This is a complete career change for me (I currently only have an AAS degree). I picked nursing for several reasons; helping people, h...
