Great idea, C; I'll take a look. Thanks for pointing me to them. Lynn

Hi B, I'm in a pre-nursing program and a long way from my RN, but already feeling pulled toward homeopathy/naturopathy. I'd love to learn more too. One hospital nearby has a solitary holistic health nurse, but that's all. I think (and hope) more opportunities present themselves as time goes by. I'd certainly love to hear about them when they do!

Hi everyone. Here's a question I hope you can answer: Must a person with a bachelor's degree in something other than nursing complete a BSN before moving onto an MSN? Just curious!

Hey there, ConkyTonker, I can't tell you how your posts have uplifted me! This time yesterday, I was honestly questioning whether or not I could make this happen. Now I know I can. I really appreciate your insight. Talk about an attitude adjustment! I'm attending the local community college (5 minutes from home) and taking the required sciences at night. Nursing's offered at night, too, and I've already applied for spring 2006. Unfortunately, I'm not certain I'll get the kind of support I'd like from work (flexibility with hours and whatnot), but I'll figure it out somehow. The school, of course, suggests not working more than 10 hours per week, and those I know who just finished Nursing 1 suggested it'd be hard doing any more than that. That concerned me, but I've come to realize people get through it with a lot heavier burden than I have. I can do this! Thanks so much for your encouragement.

Thanks to both of you for proving it's possible!

Hi. Any advice on how many hours a person can work while going to nursing school? I'm working full-time now and can't do without my income (the mortgage, dontcha know). Is it humanly possible to do both once clinicals start?
