Hello all! I have a MPH degree and I am thinking about going back for a BSN. If I do, my fiance and I will struggle financially for a couple of years. I'm nervous about making the decision because I don't want to go into debt if I end up not liking i...

That's great! The best way to get a job is definitely by knowing people. That's how I got my job now, recommendation from my professor. My sister may be able to help me get a job being in the medical community. NPs are the best! When my childhood do...

I think I would prefer to get the BSN over the ADN. Very impressive that you did so well in the ASBN - congrats! I too am not a great test taker but I would prepare a lot as you did. Did you have trouble getting a job as a new grad? I think i would ...

hi glad. thanks for sharing. what did you think of an accelerated program? was it too much too fast? I have heard that I should get BSN over ADN. but then my friend who went to Edison in Naples and got her ADN said the local hospital was more likely ...

Thank you all for the advice. As Devon Rex says, the responsibility of being a nurse is great. It seems overwhelming to me. If I am overwhelmed thinking about it now, would nursing not be a good fit for me? When I shadowed a nurse in the hospital, sh...

Happy New Year all! I am seeking advice about pursing a nursing degree. I just graduated with a Masters in Public Health degree and I work doing research. I think I would really like nursing, however, because I find working at a desk boring and clini...

Devon Rex- Thank you for your advice. I feel like there isn't much I can do with just the MPH degree, and I think it would be great to gradually move up in nursing. It just all depends if it's worth me being in school for three more years and racking...

Belle and Steph- Thank you both for the advice. I will definitely look into the market more. I didn't realize the demand was only for experienced nurses. I do think once I managed to get in somewhere and get some experiences, the job prospects would ...

Wow, that is awesome KAR! I honestly didn't even know they had grad entry programs like that because I haven't seen any for the schools I've looked at in Florida. I'm geographically limited to FL because my fiance is lawyer and just passed the FL bar...

Hi Dawn! I feel the same way - every time I look for jobs with my MPH, they want a nursing degree too. I think it would give great flexibility. That's great that your MPH degree is helping you in nursing school. I've heard that having an MPH can help...

Congratulations on your acceptance! Thank you for the advice. So you didn't need a BSN to start with the CNL program first?

Oh wow, the US public health officer sounds really interesting. But is there travel required for that? I think it would take 3 years to get my BSN because I haven't even done the pre-reqs. But it seems jobs are scarce for just having a MPH.

Thanks for the advice! What type of grad program did you do? I was thinking of trying for PA school, but I'd still have to do all the pre-reqs and it seems even more competitive than nursing. It just really seems like there aren't many jobs for just ...
