I want to major in economics or business

Truly appreciated man.
Are you an RN around the Yonkers, White Plains, or Rockland county area?

That's true man. But I've got C's in Anatomy, B in Physiology, and B in Microbio. All my other classes got A's though. Not looking great for my program. But thanks for the input; I think I may be the same.Originally Posted by robxdrew

To be honest with you man, I was the same. I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to become a nurse, but once I got into my program, it encouraged me to strive to do my best. Once you experience going through clinicals you have a better appreciation for it.
I'm not trying to deter you from your dreams dude, but I personally wouldn't go into economics or business in the condition that the economy is in now. My best friend recently graduated from a similar field and he has trouble finding a job anywhere.

If anything, re-take the A+P courses. In my area, a 3.0 is usually good enough to get accepted into a nursing program. I had to re-take A+P2 just because I couldn't understand most of it my first time through.Originally Posted by MJGREATXII

I used to work for Wells Fargo, and my homie just graduated from ucla and got a job with a private bank as an Investment banker. He graduated with a degree in Business Economics. I like that field more then medical to be honest.
But I see your point of view, that's dope that your almost done man congrats.
Yeah I'm probably going to, but at a different college because at mine I'm not allowed to because i got a passing grade?Originally Posted by robxdrew

Congrats to your friend btw. Hopefully my boy ends up with the same blessing.
And thanks man. Unfortunately, a semester in this program feels like 2.
You could do it though dude. Never give up hope and just keep trying.

It's totally the opposite here in California. From what I hear and see, the hospitals want RNs with at least 2 years experience.Originally Posted by ksteezy

my hospital is a community hospital, so the nurses don't really need much experience, unless they are going to b in the ICU or Telemetry, other than that, things are very routine, thetas why there is such a high population of new grads here.....i swear average age for RNs in my hospital is 28....cray...Originally Posted by Paul Is On Tilt
