    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    I am understanding the student loans but again my main concern is how I will still be able to afford living in an apartment while attending PA school. Also the time I graduate PA school I won’t be...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    The issue is I am not sure if I want to be a nurse or not. Usually, that is an indication for someone to say that you should not pursue a field that you are unsure of but at the same time, the reason...

  10. ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    NYCNative21 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to find the article again but I talked to two hospitals around me here in Georgia that stated majority of hospitals now are transitioning away from hiring

  11. ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    NYCNative21 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This is my main worry when pursuing my ADN. I'm worried that when I graduate which will be around 2020 or 2021, it will be harder to find a job. Seeing that majority of employers are now requiring BSN...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you sir. My plan was to get my LPN or RN depending which one accepts me. After that I was going to start working again as either an LPN or RN while doing online classes to get my BSN or even I...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am considering the military nursing but the only issue is trying to figure out how it works. I want to talk to a navy recuriter but they at times do not tell the whole truth which makes it hard for...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the encouraging words. I guess the reason why I am rushing this is due to the age of my parents. I'm turning 25 and my mom is half way to 60 and so is my father. I just personally want...

  15. Paramedic to RN bridge program.

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thoe where my thoughts as well. I could'nt believe how low the numbers where that a lot of these LPN's are telling me but they could very well be lying to me. I'm not a huge fan of the state og...

  16. Paramedic to RN bridge program.

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my understanding with the military, if one is to join and get a degree through the military then that person would owe the military years after they graduate. Also I am not really sure how one...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand. Thank you for your information. Im currently just hoping I get into this LPN program. If I don't then I will probably just forget the Nursing route in a whole and just join the military...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, Thank you for replying back. That would honestly be really good for me if I could find an LPN to RN program that is mostly or entirely online. The only issue is here in the state of Georgia...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You make a valid point regarding the LPN route and I am willing to take that route if that is my only option over the paramedic. The only thing that I am worried about is I am turning 25 and the time...

    NYCNative21 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure how it is personally in other states but I know here a paramedic program only requires one day a week during school. That seems more doable compared to a nursing program right now that...
