Right now there is a demand for chemist in the oil industry. I worked as a chemical technician for a company that did fracturing. Most of our jobs used guar gum. That is slime the kids play with. There were other things that we used, but you might consider chemistry.

Question by HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: Will an Other than Honorable discharge for Marijuana, stop you from getting a job as a nurse?
Is there anything that could make the discharge not seem so bad example like attending drug classes, please no negative comments.

Answer by Cherry
Yes, absolutely. They background check you extensively in nursing. However, no worries..it’s a stupid field to get into anyway. Pay is horrible, no jobs, africans/jamaicans come here and steal the jobs for dirt cheap prices…and it’s the most abusive field EVER.

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 hi: what are other nursing jobs that just require high school diploma?ex, LPN,Phlebotomist?
I WORDED IT IT WRONG. I MEANT LIKE ALL YOU NEED IS A HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOMA TO GET ACCEPTED IN A TRAINING PROGRAMN.
Best answer:
Answer by thev_lestat
I believe you have to have training to be an LPN or Phlebotomist, I’ve known people who have gone to school for both. Maybe you could be a CNA, I don’t believe that requires college, but you would have to take a training course for it.

Question by GoldenAgeHollywoodGirl: Is it better to go to a private college instead of a public college for a BSN in nursing?
Best answer:
Answer by Andrew
No, private college isn’t really worth it ever, especially in a field like nursing. Don’t go into debt just to go to a slightly better school.

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 Paul G: What jobs can an RN get if their license is inactive?
I have an inactive license but am interested working in a job related to nursing, whether it be chart review etc. Any additional suggestions (other than renewing my license) would be appreciated. Thank you.
Best answer:
Answer by US_DR_JD
You cannot do any work which would require you to sign or otherwise provide information as a nurse. Even chart review, they want done from someone with credentials. You might be able to work managing a clinic, but if you in any way present yourself as a nurse, you are liable for prosecution.
It is difficult for a person with experience and education in a field to turn that off, when working in the same arena. For example, if a Nurse Practitioner, did not renew their NP credentials, but maintained their RN license, and was working in a health care facility, they might be prone to go beyond their scope of practice as an RN into the scope of practice as an APN.
You best solution would be to renew your license.
