Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas has a good nursing program. You get your RN after three years instead of four, so you can already be working, getting paid REALLY well during your senior year, when you have less classes. Plus, the local hospitals work around your class schedule. There’s a lot of financial aid available from the university, and the housing isn’t that expensive, especially for how nice it is. It’s a small school, but one of the best nursing programs in the area.

Great career choice. I saw a billboard in Missouri that offered a 30,000.00 dollar sign on bonus for relocating to Missouri and working as a nurse there. My Mom (73 years old) makes about 40.00 an hour as an RN at a Phsyc ward. My friend Josuah has worked as a RN for about a year and drives a new Hummer…….when I met him he didnt even own a cell phone. He went to school at Rose State in Oklahoma City. I would say any Nursing School translates into a great future for you.

IMO they’re each the identical in drawback simplest med university takes longer. Unlike a few posters are claiming nurses do realize the intent why they’re doing matters and the way medicinal drugs paintings. I am regularly established in my nursing university on drug movements, interactions, opposed reactions riskless dose levels ect… Nurses despite the fact that do furnish extra direct care not like television might have you ever feel. Nurse are typically those educating approximately the best way to preclude ailment the best way to deal with ailment and the best way to take your drugs. Doctors spend five mins with you nurses are there with you for the duration of your entire keep. Pick whether or not you desire to be extra of the last sayer (a MD) or a supplier of care and compassion. edit: Medstudent surely has now not been in med university very lengthy or he might observe nurses are the person who name the general practitioner while lab values are out of wack or while a pt is decomping and a nurse double tests to be certain meds are ordered competently. we’re the ones that experience pt deep breath and cough and ambulate and track their situation for the duration of the night time, now not medical professionals. Hopefully medstudent while you emerge as a general practitioner you’re going to be quality on your nurses intent they’re going to make your existence as a general practitioner dwelling poo if youre now not. Edit: shellie, i simply love their feedback, optimistically i will be able to paintings with them when they graduate and may have the satisfaction calling them ever five mins for the duration of the night time to invite them what i will have to be doing due to the fact i surely don’t care why or what i do as a nurse :))))))
