  1. Where to start for Second Career Nurse

    I honestly don't think the journey will be 'easy' and I'm not sure what you mean by easy. If you haven't taken your required nursing pre-reqs then that alone can be 1-1.5 years of school. You will...
  2. What is the reason you are choosing to go into nursing?

  6. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

    Yes indeed. I’ve found Mercer ABSN students (current and just graduated) to be very forthcoming with me, which is appreciated especially a new program (ABSN) and not the
  7. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

  8. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

    I'm not in the program but what's really turning me 'off' is the fact that one of the admin reps keep 'bugging' me about starting. with texting, emails, and phone calls. So to me it seems they are...

  11. is it feasible to work NICU/PICU and an Adult ICU both PT/per diem? How challenging wold that transition be if working both at the same time? I'm interested in Peds and ultimately want to specialize...
  12. 63K ABSN - Yes or No?

    This is program specific. A well established private institution and produce great NCLEX pass rates. It's best that the OP do her research. Not all schools are treated and looked upon

    I’m not in one now. I will be applying for fall 2021
  17. Emory ABSN+MSN 2020

    Do you think it’s wise to do the ABSN+MSN or MN+ MSN for someone already having a bachelor’s degree? My ultimate goal is acute peds care (NNP or PICU). I’m also thinking about costs as well....
  18. Physician Assistant or RN

  25. Do the parents annoy you?

    I'm a former NICU parent and this post bothers me (a little). Unless the parent is harming the baby, why would it matter if the parent is annoying you or their actions? I took alot of pictures and...
