Hi all, I was just accepted into Salem State University's BSN program for the Spring. A little background about myself, I'm from the Boston area and I have a BA in political science and received a Master's in Public Administration and another Master's in Political Science while working full time in the State Legislature. I joined the National Guard in 2011 and received my commission as an officer a little over two years ago. Politics burned me out and I realized it was not the right career path for me. However, I did realize I enjoyed helping and interacting with the people I helped each day, but I wanted to do this at a more direct level. I'm currently enrolled in an EMT-B class and hope to receive my license in January. I'm looking for any advice as to how I can set myself up for success and get a job as an RN in a hospital in Boston upon completion of my BSN program. I am hoping to work as a Hospital Tech once I receive my EMT-B license and later a Nurse's Aide once I finish a portion of school. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I was actually just accepted to Salem State this Spring as a transfer student as well! I'm 28 years old and I have a BA and a couple of graduate degrees I received in 2011. I'm also in the military as a first lieutenant in the Army National Guard. I spent the last five years working in politics and state government. It's nice to know someone else is entering the same program with a comparable educational background.
