  4. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm trying to decide what my best path to becoming an RN would be - ideally with a BSN at some point (sooner rather than later!). I'm 31 and already have a BA in another field. I don't have any...

  5. Is working as a CNA necessary?

    ps3114 replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in General Students

    If the time and money to get certified is your biggest concern, it might not really be an issue. I am looking into working as a CNA and once you are hired, the hospitals provide all the training,...

  7. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    I think I could get help from my family while I'm in school and I could get loans, but I'm not sure if I want to owe that much. Good for you - just going for it with the BSN right away! That's what...

  8. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    It's good to know you would have done the ADN if you were doing things over. 5 years is a long time to be in school! I am financially ok now, but don't want to be in school / out of work for longer...

  10. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    Wow, that sounds like a good option to do the bridge to BSN online while you are doing your RN! I don't know of any program like that around here (I'm in northeastern PA) but I'll keep my ears open...

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your reply... I'm actually in northeastern PA, so far from Pittsburgh! I'm looking at applying to SUNY Broome and Binghamton University (both in NY state) and maybe some schools near...

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    I hope you are able to get in! I did submit an ADN application today, but it was two days after the deadline (March 1) so I'm really hoping I can get in, even with my late application; otherwise I'll...

  14. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    Ok, good to know! I have really only looked at one program so far and it was going to be around $30k! But that's with out of state tuition. It's good to know that there are online programs that are...

  16. Best Path to RN for me?

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I like how you put that. Are you planning to complete an RN-BSN program later, or going to stick with the ADN for now? Right now, I'm leaning toward the ADN, with the hopes I could...

    ps3114 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student, starting my prerequisite courses next week. I'm hoping to enroll in an accelerated BSN program which would be starting about a year and 4 months from now. I don't have any...

  19. Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

    ps3114 replied to misskayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't entertain moving to go to school either. My husband and I own a home and live within 20 minutes of both sets of our parents and nearby all our friends and community. I work full-time at...

    ps3114 replied to ps3114's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reality check. I appreciate that! I have talked to the hiring/recruiting departments at two local hospitals and both said they are hiring new grads. I'll look at the other boards you...
