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:

Comment on If im in a 4 year college to earn my bsn in nursing…how can i get an associate degree while in school? by ownpool

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.

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

Comment on Nursing degrees what would be the best way for me to go? by juli

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.

Comment on How hard is it to get a BSN in nursing? by I'd rather not say

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.

First of all it is difficult to get in to any nursing program. If you have a choice go for the BSN, your going to have to get the degree anyway if you want any chance of advancement so you should just get it over with.

Comment on Can anyone tell me about being a traveling nurse? by prada

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.
