Hi ! I am in the same position as you are so I was glad to see your thread - I don't feel so alone! I keep going back & forth with the decision to continue my nursing education or not. The next part of it, like you, is the actual nursing prog...

Hi everyone! I have wanted to be a nurse for a long while. I am a successful admin. asst to the president of a large hospital right now. After 3 years of doing my pre-reqs for nursing, it has finally come time to "**** or get off the pot!" LOL. U...

Just curious -- What would everyone say would be some of the best nursing specialties to be in during these hard economic times for job security? Are there some nurse specialties more needed right now than others or else may have a shortage of thos...

I am an administrative assistant & have been working towards a nursing degree for a few years now. It is now at the point for me to take the plunge or not, as clinicals will hit next year for me. Just starting to get cold feet now & having ...

I had this same dilemma! Very hard decision, I know. I am choosing the ADN route because I'll come out still a nurse with no debt! Although the BSN would be nice & with this economy employers can be picky, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that ...

Very interesting thoughts! Thanks everyone! Anyone else out there? And to SuesquatchRN - believe it or not - alot of how you say your floor communicates, we do in our admin. office now! Ha ha.

OK - I am not 50 (I'm 45) but can relate to this older nursing group so decided to post because of the question about how to pay for it & accruing large loans later in life....that was a big dilemma for me as I was trying to decide between our BS...

I am interested in this thread as well! Anyone thought they would hate night shift but ended up liking it?

First of all, 36 is not old - you have a long life yet to live & you absolutely can turn things around. I am not a nurse yet myself - I'm taking the long road to get there as well - but I think that is a great way to continue the rest of your ca...

Sorry - I don't know the answer myself but this is exactly what I want to know too! I am trying to decide which nursing program to attend - Associates or Bachelors & this answer would help me very much. Anyone there in Utah have a feeling about...

Hi everyone! Has anyone out there either attended Wright State University or Edison Community College nursing school? I am trying to decide between the 2 of them & want to know how good they are, how you felt about them, how well they prepared...

Great thoughts from everyone! Some I didn't think of and that is why this site is so wonderful - I want to thank everyone so much for answering me so far!

Hi everyone - Here is yet another thread about going into nursing versus not Here's my situation - I have taken pre-reqs towards nursing for almost 4 years now! Slowly but surely so that I get good grades & I had to work full-time and get on wa...

I am an admin. asst for the president of a hospital - So, very good stable job but I am at the top with no where to go & have done this for 20+ years, and I am the kind of person who gets bored fast - needs challenges, etc. so that is just one of...

Thanks everyone who has responded so far.....SO, what I'm hearing I think so far is that no one has recommended quitting the nursing route - that I should keep going & the only question is the ASN or BSN route. Thanks again & anyone else wan...

For those of you who have taken Stats - How time consuming was it? I'm taking it soon & am thinking about signing up for Abnormal Psych at the same time but work full-time & need to make A's in the classes - what do you think?

I thought that physiology was alot harder actually, but sometimes it just depends on the teacher alot too. I had a hard teacher for Physiology. I had somewhat of an easy one for Micro. I thought both were interesting. I know that doesn't help you...

I love the segway idea! I can just picture it now!

Let's see if I can ask this question so that it makes sense...... I'm not sure what to do, so would like advice ...... I just got my acceptance letter to an ADN program this fall - Yeah! But I am also contemplating applying to a bachelors program fo...

Thanks to everyone who has replied! Wish I knew the future - ha ha - but so does everyone else! Everyone has given me alot of things to think about. This is a great place to come & ask advice. I've been asking for little signs from God to sh...

I did see something come across some desks here at my work - a hospital - which seemed to imply that at some point in the future they are looking at how they can only hire BSN's. If there is a nursing surplus at some point, then they probably could ...

This is a great post! I'm not into actual nursing school yet but have been chipping away at my pre-reqs for a few years. Something inside of me just burst into sunlight is all I can describe it - is why I'm going to leave a very good position for ...

Hi there! I'm with you! My husband owns his own business and it's down alot due to economy so I started rethinking of going to nursing school next year due to that, as my income will drop alot! And even though, from time to time, I still have doub...

I just finished taking A&P I, II & III online. I think if I had to do it all over again, maybe I would have been better off taking it in person, but I kept going. I studied every single spare minute I had for those classes. I couldn't have...

Hi There! Posting here because of you guys being in the actual nursing program now.....My question is that I just finished with all my A&P classes but am still wait-listed so I'm sure I won't get into the actual nursing program until next year n...
