    BeachsideRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's hit or miss here. The graduates from the ADN program I am applying to are getting jobs at some hospitals but not others. But, really I am not so much focused on that because I have every...

    BeachsideRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Nursing

    That was my thought as well ... and I didn't think I would be in as much sticker shock as I am but ... I also have considerable debt from my masters in public health. I *might* be able to manage...

    BeachsideRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that ADNs are not desirable, which was why I chose the BSN in the first place. However, is it possible to roll straight into a RN-BSN program without first getting a job or is experience...

    Research and new grad status?

    BeachsideRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Research

    Thank you, ToughingItOut. My gut is kinda telling me to get a year or so of bedside experience for the same reasons you listed - flexibility. Although I love research, I would hate to pigeonhole...

    Honors Classes?

    BeachsideRN replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    I imagine the honors classes would be part of the pre-nursing classes (i.e. general education core and pre-reqs) so it wouldn't be a terrible idea. You can always start in the honors classes and then...
