this was very helpful, thank you for sharing your experience with me.

thanks so much for the encouragement, i want to start having kids when i'm finished with the transitioning, the school i will attend offers evening and weekend courses so i believe the other requirements would also have to revolve around the same class schedule.

congrats on being able to quit your job, this is one thing i am worried about when i transition to nursing, i would like to just finish the program and go right into a new job from the old corporate job, my husband and i split the bills and save money but i was hoping to not have a time where i don't work because i have been independent for a long time and prefer to earn and spend the money i worked for, do all nurses need to stop working for a while or just work part time to make the tranisition? thanks for your responses....

My plan is to go to nursing school at night and do all that I can to fulfill requirements during evenings and weekends while working a full-time job during the day. How did you go from getting to be an RN and leaving your full-time job? When did you practice while studying? Is it possible to work full-time during the day, make a living to pay the bills and then transition into full-time RN? I appreciate your feedback!

I just applied to a community college to pursue nursing and I was somewhat discouraged because I thought since I already earned a BA I would breeze right into the nursing program but reality was checked when they warned me that I need to do extremely well in Physiology before I am considered. My counselor also stated that freshmen students, rather than transfers are preferred. I know nursing is a tough but rewarding career, and I will diligently endure. It's great to have this web-site to relate and pick up some pointers.
