    Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    BeachsideRN replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    BeachsideRN replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also wanted to add - not sure if you posted your age earlier in the thread but - I doubt you are "much older". I applied to nursing school at 34. Will get my ADN at 37. Maybe finish the RN-msn bridge...

    BeachsideRN replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate Students
