You don’t "wanna", you "want to." Rule #1 for volunteering abroad: you need to present yourself in a professional manner in all written communications.

Here is advice on volunteering abroad:

if got accepted to a 4 year college and currently doing my prerequisites for the nursing program, how can i get an associate’s degree first before getting a bsn in nursing? i want to get a job while in college and start building up my volunteer work.

Earning the associate degree simultaneously is not really possible as the BSN program is full time and you would have finished the BSN program by the time you earned the associate degree if you took the associate degree part time.

In any event, you would need permission from both colleges and it is unlikely that both would give it as you would need to study and attend class about 90 hours a week full time and there would probably be time conflicts between the class schedules.

The BSN program will include unpaid hands on training. You do not need additional volunteer work.

I suggest that you support yourself in nursing school by loans. The salary and job prospects of a BSN-RN allow for the repayment of loans without much difficulty.

I think I’d rather work in a nursing home as an RN, but is a BSN for that necessary? And do I get a degree in nursing school or do I need to go to a college and get my degree separately?

U can just have ur RN but a BSN is a plus.

Especially if u ever wanna move up to case management or np …u usually get a bsn if u go to a 4yr college..but not if u did a community college or a vocational/tech school so u can get it separately after

I have been going into ultrasound and radiology technology for a year now and was thinking that while i wait to get into the program i would continue and get into doing some nursing classes. However I would like to work more in the pregnancy and delivery area’s of a hospital. Any suggestions in what path I should take or if I should just stick with the ultrasound degree?

Forget the Nursing idea for now. Concentrate on finishing your U/S and Rad Tech program. You can work in an OB/GYN practice doing U/S if you want to concentrate on prenatal care.

Otherwise, to work in most all OB units, you must be an RN or a Patient Care Tech or Unit Secretary. Nurse’s aids (CNA) and LPN/LVN don’t work in Labor and Delivery.

I know that I want to go into the nursing field. At first, I just wanted to get my Associate’s Degree but you get paid more if you have a Bachelor’s Degree.

I was just wondering how difficult it is to get your Bachelor’s Degree in nursing, an if the extra pay is even worth it? Opinions?

First of all, a BSN grad makes anywhere from 50 cents to 2 dollars more on the hour than an RN with an Associate Degree. ASN RN’s usually start off around $23-25 an hour.

Associate Degree programs are VERY competitive to get into and often have a wait list of a year or two for clinicals. There is a good chance you could earn a BSN in the same or SHORTER time it would take to earn an ASN these days.

My fiancee wants to be a traveling nurse and wants me to go with her. Will they pay enough to support both of us without me having a job? All details please

Never heard about a Travelling Nurse. I know a Flight Nurse who works obviously with flying ambulances..a Cruise Ship Nurse is a good one as well….and the pay is good.

I am not so sure with a Travelling Nurse.

any information on this subject?..i will be starting fresh and prefer the 2 year program…

There is no accredited (or legitimate for that matter) online nursing program if you are not already an RN. There are online programs for those that are already an RN (Associate Degree or Diploma nurse) to earn to their BSN, but to become an RN, you MUST attend some classes at a "brick and mortar" school…that means one you actually go to in person.

A lot of Community Colleges and State Universities offer general education classes online, such as English Comp, Algebra, Communication, Psychology, and Sociology, but you need to take your science classes in person and of course, your nursing clinical classes MUST be in person.

Stay away from any place that offers things like "Become an RN online"…..they are over-priced "career colleges" that are simply put—–a SCAM!! If you read back through the nursing questions here on Y!A, you’ll find that getting a new grad job as an RN is rather competitive these days (hospitals are on hiring freezes and limited hires with the economy) and you’ll be competing for jobs against applicants that have earned their nursing degrees from accredited sources such as community colleges, state universities, and private colleges (usually those affiliated with a religious denomination. While you don’t need an "Ivy League" education to become an RN, you aren’t going to be hired if you got a bogus degree online.

Here’s a link to the NLN-accredited schools:

i work full time as a medical assistant and want to further my career. I wanna be a registered nurse. but do community colleges offer that i can complete all of my associates degree online? is that possible?

Not fully online you need to take some practical classes in classroom. Moreover go for bachelor’s degree over associates as it will benefit more to you also in future.Know the best place where you can find some of the top online accredited colleges/universities. To explore the list of colleges http://thedegreeexperts.com/dg-science-a… . Here all the colleges listed are accredited from top organizations. Some of them are nationally accredited some regionally. That assures that the quality of education they give is good.

I’m only 14 , but I want to start planning my life. I want to be a writer, but I need something to fall back on. My grandmother wants me to do nursing, and I want to have a degree in computer engineering to fall back on as well. But, I also want a degree in business, because it may come in handy. How long will this take me once I leave high school?

You will likely need 2 full years to complete what’s called "general education," which is required for everyone regardless of their degrees. Then, basically another 2-3 years per degree. However, you can’t earn them one by one. You would have to have completed all of required classes before you graduate and earn those degrees.

These 4 degrees seem to have minimal overlaps. It will likely take you longer than 10 years to complete. I also doubt that most school would let you obtain 4 degrees. However, did you know that you can do a minor in addition to your major? A Minor requires less than half of the time to complete a Major. How about pick two majors that you really want/need, and then perhaps you could do a minor for ones that you would consider as "fall backs."

For example, you can do a major in English and Nursing, and a minor in Computer Engineering or Business.

One last thing. Rarely you’d see someone spends 10 years of their life to obtain 4 bachelor degrees. A bachelor degree is really just a tip of the iceberg in education. There are Master’s degrees, and PhD’s. You’re now 14. It will be around 2023 when you come out of college with 2-3 degrees like I recommended. However, in those years, I speculate that a bachelor degree will be just as useless as a high school diploma today. The amount of education of an average person needs to survive will likely only increase as the world advances and human civilization progresses. It would be much more practical to focus on one or two disciplines and master them instead.

You’re young. Come back for more questions as you progress!

Good luck.
