Posted over 1 year ago Iam a newbie here and obviously 'considerng Nursing' career. Iam reading all morning here and iam so glad to have found this site coz its helping me a lot to understand the pros and cons of Nursing career as well as giving me insights and pointers from the nurses themselves.... from the getting into the school and their actual work itself. So much information...... anyway, i have a BS in Psychology (and used this degree in HR/ office setting outside the US) and being new in this country.... i havent been lucky to apply the same career path so i had resorted to CNA job for a year now which strongly gave me insights as well on what career path i should be pursuing further.... looking into the next step now... this is why iam here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experiences and advice for novice like us. I will continue to read and learn from u.
by the way, the AGE topic is interesting because iam 38 (not so young) and contemplating new career and going back to school.
kudos to all |

| Posted over 1 year ago You should already have a pretty good head start if you have a BS in Psych. Much of it should transfer, but check with the school for details. I'm not as old as Teresa (but close). [Hi Teresa -- Do not worry about age, just ambition. Welcome to Nursing Link. Dr. Tom Tom, PhD, MPH, BS(N), RN-C, CHN |

| Posted over 1 year ago I too am a little nervous about the interview process. My GPA is 3.6 now (used to have 4.0) and there are other ppl with GPA's higher than mine that did not make it into the program. I work in the ER as a scribe now, so i get to see everything first hand. (the docs i work with even let me participate in the physical exams, reading labs and radiology. I have even done sutures before). I hope that al this gives me a leg up since my GPA is not as high, but I am so afraid that my passion for nursing will come off as boasting, or that they think im just not good enough!
