Do not move to CA, stay in your job market!!! Not to be negative, but best thing you can do is stay at least 6months to get experience and get rid of that SNI title ...you will get interviews and likely a job if you do that. The market is rough here, very rough. Stay, and get your 6 months experience, you will be glad you did.

I was recently wrestling with the same decision....I ultimately chose a traditional iniv. After all is said and done cost differs about 10 grand. I found that when I told other nurses about my educational plans I was better received when I had chosen USF versus Walden univ. there is a bit of a stigma when it comes to traditional univ. and "online" or accelerated education. In the end I felt a stronger seance of pride with USF, I'm a local, and knew I would for the rest of my career...resumes , interviews, and peer introductions often include educational background...just my take, good Luck all!

I am starting a CNL program at the end of this month. I am terrified by the cost of graduate education but what else is a new grad to do in this job market. I am unable to move because my husbands job is here and so is my family, which has been my go to sitter for my Awesome 2.5yr old daughter. I have always planned to further my education in nursing but it seems like everyone is going to have a BSN, so in effort to stand out a little more, MSN?? Really though, I just want to be a "solid ACE" bedside nurse, which is why the CNL role appeals to me. CNL, being an advanced generalist nurse, hybridized with the skill of care planning, provides a higher level of expertise/knowledge that in the past has come by years of experience at the bedside. For now, those days are gone, which on the bright side means a better educated work force. Nurses have to get higher degrees just to enter acute care. It's tough to decide which masters focus you want to spend your money on, believe me I was tearing my hair out over it also, and still have concerns. The CNL, in the end, is a masters prepared nurse

Dub this the nurses bill...this is advocacy, FINALLY, on the part of our legislature for the benefit of our people.

Indeed, the middle class is struggling and fighting against extinction. What they cannot afford is health insurance outside of this provision or a health encounter in our expensive system without insurance. Doing nothing is not a good plan for our country...this reform is a start in a very needed reform of our health system.It is paramount to keep the discussion going. This is not a cure for a system under thumb of the insurance giants, but the catalyst for change. When many voices come to the table, the issue is teuley
