try and get work at local doctors office as a medical asst. Since you are a nursing student you should know the nuts and bolts of medical assting. Being a nursing student should give you some merit and should carry a little weight in finding something in the health field. If not there then try something small like a retirement home or YMCA or Red Cross or somethnig to that extent. It'll look good on your resume and should, hopefully, give you some pocket change to go along with it.

Try visiting  www.discovernursing.com - you'll find tons of information there on nursing.\n\nDespite prior statements,  you do not need a BS to be an RN.   There are two-year RN programs and RN bridge programs for persons  who have an LPN/LVN.   The push MAY be for RNs to have a bachelor's degree,  but the  reality is that there is such a shortage of nurses  willing to work  in NURSING (yes, nurses work in  fields outside of active nursing),  that states/countries are creating  avenues to bring  in more  nurses quickly.\n\nWhat you can do with a nursing certificate/degree will depend upon the state/country you live in.  Generically, you could go back and do a 1 year nursing certificate program and become an LPN/LVN.  Or, you could pick up the sciences and other pre-reqs you need and complete a 2nd associates--the outcome could be an LPN/LVN or an RN depending upon the school/program you enter into.  Or, you could transfer to a university and pursue a bachelor's degree in nursing.

well it depends on what kinda work you wanna do. Like if you want to be an LPN, i would suggest becoming a CNA, then you could experience working under an LPN in a nursing home or hospital. Thats what i did and having that kinda experience makes it look good when you go to collage to become an LPN or RN and is actually required to get into a nursing program in most places.. Plus its nice to add that to your resume..

Only you can decide what you want to do, but i can tell you that i am going to be attending drexel university in the fall, to study nursing (B.S.N/M.S.N Dual Degree). From what i have seen, nursing is an extrememly rewarding field, with so many opportunities.  Hospitals are hurting for them, and it is not difficult at all to find a job.  You can do everything from becoming an LPN, RN, and then going back to school to become an advanced practice nurse. I hope i dont get bashed from someone for saying this, but from what i have seen, there are so many more opportunities for a career in nursing as opposed to social work.  Get job descriptions and such off of www.salary.com. Nursing also offeres great flexibility with regards to scheduling. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I think you are out of luck on the nursing front.  I'm not an expert on nursing, but even getting through school requires a lot of needles and no matter what part of a hospital you work in, nurses and needles go together like markers and whiteboards.  \n\nWhat you might want to look into is becoming a doula.  Kind of like a midwife plus if I understand it correctly.  You work with pregnant women preparing them for birth, you stay with them during delivery, and sometimes even beyond.  There is, of course, an association of them and training, certification, etc.  Link below.

Nursing. It is one of the best careers. there is currently a 200K person job shortage in the US and it is growing. the baby boomers are needing more and more care and demand will continue to rise. Also it does not fluctuate with the economy such as the IT or computer fields. There will not be a health care bubble. A starting RN can expect to earn about 40-50K/yr depending on location. in california it will be closer to 80-90K. Also you will get a very good benifit package. there is competition for employees so it is a sellers market. In addition most nurses work 3 12hr. shifts, so you have 4 days a week off!\nIf you continue in education a CRNA (anesthatist) sp? can expect to make 150K+ and work a standard work week. \ngood luck\n\nI have a BS in Finance(graduate summa cume laude, lots of crap jobs, not many good ones), an am currently in law school. My wife is an RN and will soon be a nurse practitioner, she will likely make more than I will, and I will be working 60+hs a week.

hey girl -  yay for nurses! em, i would research the medical schools you would like to attend and see what they require. see, since you are getting an RN, some of your classes may be applied to your medical education. So yeah, do your research and you will have a better idea of what you need to do to prepare. dont box yourself in! you are unique and your program should suit your needs and aspirations. go girl!

If you want to become a nurse, then it will be for life.  You need to go thru the appropriate courses to become the best you can be.  Check your local hospitals for nursing schools.

LOOK FOR A SCHOOL WHERE YOU CAN GET YOUR RN AT THE END OF THE FIRST 2 YEARS, AND THEN CONTINUE WITH YOUR BSN.  IN OTHER WORDS, GET ENTRY INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM (NOT JUST "PRE-NURSING") RIGHT OFF THE BAT.\n\nI know too many people who have done "pre nursing" only to find there are limited spots in the actual nursing program at the end for their first 2 years.\n\nCheck out your local community colleges.  The one near me offers a wonderful nursing program (low cost too), you get your RN at the end of the 2 years.  Then it's easier to get into a 4 year school to finish your BSN (called "RN to BSN" programs).\n\nAlso, if you get your RN you could work full time and finish your BSN part time.  Most hospitals will pay for you to finish your BSN if you are their employee.
