    Second Degree BSN, where to go?

    Hi. I'm in an Accelerated BSN program. The only school I'm familiar with that you've mentioned is Seton Hall. I'm also located in NJ and at UMDNJ. It's one of the cheapest ABSN programs here in NJ....

    well, I can say I am officially discouraged...

    I agree with CRod. That was one nurse manager. I didn't even give it much thought. Every area/hospital/state/etc. is doing something different. No need for you to be discouraged by one

    Ashamed of nursing school

    No way am I ashamed of being a nursing student. I'm a career changer, and my parents are so proud, they seem to tell everyone they meet. I can just image when I graduate. When I was taking my...
  17. I agree with the above poster. I assume Honors program equaled MORE work, especially since they mentioned it would benefit a potential nursing researcher. It's up to you. But, like others said, you...
