Ive been curious lately, I've heard of many different shifts but I was wondering the average week of an RN. How many days a week does one work? And how long each time? Thanks!

I am on the road to become an RN (with a bachelors degree), however, I want to be able to work in multiple environments. Is there a chance that I would be able to work as a Neonatal nurse as well as in the ICU and Emergency room? Can I only have one specialty? and if I am able to do all three, does it require extra schooling? (is the neonatal nurse entirely different from an RN?)

Thank you SO much!

I'm still trying to set my path on one school. So far my plan is, finish high school (I graduate in 2018), go to community and then a four year college, but I don't want to go outside of California. I know there's plenty of four year colleges in California, but if I want my bachelors in nursing, where am I supposed to go? Which school is right for me? I am still new to this whole thing. I know that I have a goal, to be an RN, and I want nothing more than to achieve that, but will a 3.8 GPA, 2 years of hospital volunteer work and a whole lot of determination get me, especially if that's all I have under my belt right now? What else do I need? After speaking with many high school counselors, it's clear they have no exact idea on how to help me get on the RN path. If anyone has any advice or personal experiences that could help me find my way, I would very much appreciate it!

What program was it? I'd definitely be interested in a program that offers pre reqs and the ADN Thank you!

What would be the expected annual pay after the first year of working as an RN once out of college?

I'm a high school student (a Junior) in California and looking to become a registered nurse. I was planning on going to a community college to get my ASN and go to a four year college after that to get my BSN. But now I'm confused, could I go straight into a BSN? And is recommended that I skip over the ASN? Im trying to find the cheapest route to become a Registered Nurse, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
