  3. Becoming a Nurse Educator

    I think you could fudge your way into a job, although you might need to start out by teaching something really basic, like "the role of the healthcare professional" at an online school or something...

    And sorry to hijack, but a question some folks may be able to answer. If for some reason I'm not accepted into the AECP, my plan would be to carry on and get my BSN on my own. Would I then be able...

    Old thread, but I'll bite. I graduated from the PN program at the Ocala campus. Way more positive things to say than negative. Let me break it down in bullet form. Pros - no waiting lists - 4 start...

  20. why are you going the LPN route?

    Good answer, LisaLPN. I chose LPN because I had zero healthcare experience and already had another degree. I wanted to "get my feet wet," so to speak. I am also a fan of climbing the ladder and...
