So after 20 years of marriage my husband has asked for a divorce. After the initial shock...I realized it's time to get my life in gear. A long time ago I was in school for surg tech and dropped out - once to put HIM through school...and then went back after my kid was in school only to get ill and have to drop out. So now it's time to salvage at least SOME GOOD out of this and get back to school. I have always loved the idea of being in the OR (even got to stand in on some surgeries)...but I also like ortho a lot. I don't want to waste any more time, but is a 2-yr RN degree even worth it nowadays? I don't have thoughts of being an NP or anything like that. Other than retaking A&P (past the 5 yr rule) I'm basically done with prerequisites for the local community college. What kind of specialties can I get into with a 2-yr? I'm in NY if that helps. As a side, I have a freshman in high school and I want to be done with MY degree before SHE gets to college or my wallet will jump off the nearest cliff. Thanks for any advice.
