This might sound silly, but I am interested in becoming a nurse. I am in college now going for my BS in biology and I already have a nursing school in mind.
My question is, if nursing school is so intensive, did you have time to work? If so, where? If not, how did you survive?

I just started an accelerated ASN program for 15 months. I'm in my third month, and I've started hearing rumors about new RNs who can't find jobs. Is there anything I can do to stand out? Do employers look at grades at all? What were y'alls salaries right out of school? Were you only able to get night/weekend shifts? Also, any RNs out there who work in doctors' offices? I'm about to start my first round of clinicals next month. Any pointers? Also, I graduated this past May with a Bachelor's in Biology. Do I have a chance of getting into a MSN program after working in the field for a bit? Or do you think I would need a BSN for that? Is there a big pay difference in ASN v. BSN? Even with a degree in Biology? Any information, stories, helpful hints would be great.
