How serious are you about nursing? Since you already have your Bachelor's, you can apply to these ABSN (Accelerated Bacherlor's) nursing programs. Have you heard of these? They're basically for people that have a Bachelor's or Master's in another field (ie: Biology, or English, etc.) and want to go into nursing. I'm sure there are some in MA (there's PLENTY here in CA; every university is adopting this due to the many unemployed people wanting to go into nursing). I ask because I've heard these programs are pretty competitive, GPA and "work experience" wise, but you could find out more about these. But man. Sorry you had to go through that in your program. That's effin' SCARY. Edit: Oh and about the malpractice insurance. MOST nursing programs (ADN & BSN) will provide the malpractice insurance for an additional fee. You have the option of getting your own, but they cost more than the school's. & it HARDLY ever gets to that point. You'll have the Hospital, the school, plus the state board that the family will have to fight AGAINST. The only time it even gets to that point is 1) The patient fell (& it has been proven it was gross negligence on the RN & the nursing student's part; 2) Med errors (again, it's not just your fault. The RN that you're following will be looked at along with your school + the nursing student. |
Yeah...I read some posts here and E-mail second degree/direct entry Nursing programs and Master in Public Health programs...flat out asking if they will accept illegal immigrant.
I don't know how this will go.... but I will definitely post here as to what is going on.

Have you considered Canada? Try to see if you can qualify for the Federal Worker's program for PR.

I live in MA, I don't think I can even take NCLEX. So my question is simple. Do you guys know with the graduate degree in nursing (with or without NCLEX) if you are qualify to work in other country? Also..how did you guys managed clinical? Don't they check for background in Hospital? I had to drop out form nursing because of that+co-op program. (mainly co-op program) |
