Right and I saw these. I do not care about the job market while in school. I will not be working and the threads that I viewed (and I viewed pages) were people asking the difference between job functions and pay. My question is more an educational route since I will not be working during this time.

I am, I would prefer to go to a private college that does BSN and RN-BSN bridge. Because of my other degrees some of the credits will transfer over. With the BSN I will be finished in two years. If I do the RN at the community college that will take one year (fast track) and then transfer to the college of choice which will take a little over the year.

I do not have access to PM but I would really love to hear your suggestions on how you do this.

So I have searched through the boards and I have not seen this post... So if it is there and I am missing it I am sorry... So I have decided on a college for my BSN that I feel is the best fit for me. My husband and I are going round for round on how to approach this. He would like me to go to a community college to get an AD and then transfer to finish the remaining curriculum to get my BSN. This will be a more cost effective approach but is it the best approach. Can anyone please provide their experience and advice on this? Do you FEEL as though going into a two year program to get an associate's degree and then transfer to a 4 year college to finish off the BSN is a good and effective approach? Or did you find going straight to a four year college was a better approach? Can I please get personal opinions and thoughts on the two?

Thank you for posting. This really makes me feel better about my decision. I have been looking at the Mac Book Pro and after reading that it makes me feel better about the choice I am going to make.

does the ipad have a word, excel, etc? I just need a device that will allow me to take notes, do homework, fiddle around on the internet. Like several people noted I retain more when I write but I type far faster than I write. I just want to make sure that I do well in school and I want to start off on the best foot.

So I have read several of the posts but they are a bit dated. I am thinking about a laptop where I can flip the screen and write on the screen and use the handwriting recogintion software. Does anyone have any suggestions on a laptop? Just FYI I will NOT use a Dell. You could not pay me enough money to buy a Dell so please no Dell suggestions.
