Why don’t you take a refresher course and get your license back? We could sure use you. There is such a shortage in nursing. Without your license, you could be an aide for floor work, or maybe some admin job clerical job.

Question by raymond_1265: Should I go to Community College or 4 year college for Nursing?
I’m graduating in two months and I want to become a nurse. I applied to some universities around here (Seton Hall, Rutgers) and I got declined by all of them. I have a 3.6 GPA but my SAT score was a 1350. I got accepted into Farleigh Dickinson and Dominican College. At FDU, I didn’t get accepted into their School of Nursing, but I can apply to it after taking the basic courses needed for Nursing. At Dominican College, I got into their Nursing Program with a scholarship. I applied to Bergen Community for Nursing but I didn’t get into the Nursing Program, should I go to BCC, take my gen. ed. courses then apply to their nursing program? What’s the best thing to do? Thanks in advanced! Sorry if it’s too much to read!

Answer by Randy
I definitely recommend checking out the community college. It typically costs less and is a great way to knock out your gen eds while paying less. If you work hard and do well, it’ll make you a more attractive candidate when you decide to reapply to the nursing program. You’ll have more money in your pocket (or less debt) and an associate’s degree to boot.

Question by Why Do We Fall?: Should I go to college for psychology or nursing?
I am currently in college, and I was originally going to college for nursing, but now I’m not so sure if that’s what I really want to do. In my mind I feel like I was only going for nursing because nurses make good money and because it wouldn’t take that long to finish school to become a nurse. I had always wanted to be a psychologist or a counselor, and now I am really debating if that’s the thing I should go to school for. I’m only going to go for my master’s degree in either psychology or in counseling, and it will take me two more years than what it would to get my bachelor’s in nursing. I’m just concerned if I won’t be able to find a job as a counselor once I’m done. I’m not interested in the money anymore, but I would like to make a decent living. Will I be happy if I go with psychology or should I just stick with nursing? Please any anwers you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Question by keeranbri: I’m in college right now earning my bachelors in networking, but I am confused if should switch to nursing,
I basically have about a year & 1/2 left to get my bachelors in computer networking and communications, however, I sometime feel like I want to switch to being a licensed nurse, I’m the type of person when I see some kind of ad for a school, my mind changes. I’m just confused and I just want to stick to one degree, without wasting my money. Any advice?
Best answer:
Answer by im2spoiled4me
Well as long as youre getting an education it isnt a waste of money but switching between two degrees that have no courses in common can be a waste of time.
You remind me of myself before I found a major that I was extremely passionate about. It takes some time to narrow it down but you may want to try listing the pros and cons of each major and then deciding from there. Also figure out what is most important to you (money, advancement opportunities, flexibility etc.) and see which career would best accomodate that.

Question by Allyson: Going to college for nursing – should I go to 2 year or 4 year college?
So, I am cracking down for college (I am a senior in high school)
I want to go to college for nursing, and then MAYBE go to graduate school for Maternal/Neonatal Nursing (babies, most of who are sick and in the NICU)
^ This wouldn’t be for a few years after I graduate with my nursing degree (maybe 5-6 years)
So, if I just go for nursing, should I go to a 2 year college, or a 4 year? I’ve heard they both graduate with the same thing, the 4 year student just has more credentials. But then I also heard many doctors offices & hospitals would rather hire 2 year students because they don’t have to pay as much.
I really need good advice with this. Please explain what you think. Thank you all so much!
Best answer:
Answer by collegeworldseriesfan
Go to the 4 year school. You will have more doors open to you and if you do end up going to graduate school it will be a huge advantage. You always want to create a situation where you have a lot of options later, and a 4 year college will be more respected and give you more options. People tend to look down at 2 year schools, so you will be more limited in terms of jobs.
Note: You may get a low paying job right away with a 2 year school, however you will not be happy at that job and you will have a harder time moving up in the future.

Nice job, huh. Study hard and keep in school and it might just be you. Don’t worry the nurse is very well trained and has a lot of extra schooling to be able to do this.

Question by ActionJackson lol: I want to go to college but not for regular/average jobs. What should I do?
I want to go to college but it seems like every college is for jobs like accounting, nursing, etc. I don’t want to have a normal job. I want to work in the entertainment or music industry but I don’t really know how to get started in them. I would love to work for a recording studio or record label. I want to work directly with bands. How do I get a foot in the door and start working towards my dream job?
Best answer:
Answer by RoaringMice
Many of those jobs are obtained not because you have a college degree in a specific subject, but because you gained career-related work experience while you studied. For example, a friend of mine works in A&R for a major label. He studies something like history for his major at college, but while he did that, he started working with the college’s concert production company, did an internship in the A&R department at a record label, and in one summer, he did live event promotion work. The fact that he had a college degree was important to him getting his first job in A&R, but it was the work experience he had, rather than his specific degree subject, that helped him get into the industry.
There are a ton of careers that could involve working directly with bands. They range from things like music production, to Artists and Reperatory, to legal work, to running the tech side of their tour, to marketing, and many other things. So first, think about what you like and are good at, academically. I know you like music, but what else are you good at? If you’re interested in the business side of the music business, for example, then that’s a possibility for you. If you’re interested in production, then that’s a possibility. Law. Accounting. Technical concert production. Video production. Camerawork. Songwriting. PR. Marketing. Tons of options. And you can find majors that can lead you to any of those things.
If you don’t mind, I’m going to link you to some great articles about jobs in the music industry. They should help you narrow your focus. The first one is quite valuable – it lists out various music industry jobs, and tells you a bit about each one:
http://musicians.about.com/od/otherindustrycareers/tp/musiccareers101.htm
http://musicians.about.com/od/otherindustrycareers/a/threestepsjob.htm
In some cases, at some unis, you’ll find majors that are very specific to the music industry. At other unis, the majors may be broader. But no matter what, do work on campus in events and music. Do work off campus in events and music. Do an internship. Do two, if you can. It’s your career-related experiences that are going to make-or-break your ability to get your first job in this field.

Question by Elizabeth85: I’m thinking to go to college for nursing, does anyone know on what I should expect,and is it hard?
Best answer:
Answer by monkeyhijinx
Not particularly so far. The hardest thing is having confidence on clinical placements.
Expect a mix of groupwork, roleplay, lectures, practical exams, clinical placements in a variety of areas. Expect a fair amount of biology, maths and communication skills. And lots of annoying presentations lol. It’ll probably be about 85% female on the course.
It’s good I recommend it.

Question by Skypo: What majors would I need to study and where should I go to school to get these jobs?
I’ve decided that when I grow up, I want to be either an obstetrician or a neonatal nurse. What majors do they offer for people pursuing these jobs? What schools offer those majors?
Best answer:
Answer by Devyn
Surprisingly, a lot of colleges offer those majors. My recommendation to you would be to narrow it down to WHERE you want to go to school geographically. For example, do you want to go to school in Kansas? Or do you prefer to be near the ocean and want to be in Florida.
