Nursing Nutrition Questions
Posted in Health and Nutrition on 06/09/2009 07:17 pm by Steven NerenbergRN? male RN? Help me please.?
Hey, I’m freshman(male) in N.C State univ. Right now I’m in undecided major. And I found out that I’m interested in RN or CLNC. I’ve been searching or researching about these, but sometimes it confused me. So, I made new ID to ask few questions about it.
NC State Univ is 4yr college. I read that it is good to be major in BSN(Biological Sciences-Nutrition) or AS(Animal Science). Is it true?
To be RN, what should I do after graduate undergraduation, major in BSN? I heard I have to do 2 yrs (ASN)of Associate of Science in Nursing.. This is really confusing me. right now.
Can someone please explain how these works? step by step?
P.S. After Do RNs have great income? I heard they get like $100~$150 per hour.. Or Do I have study more to get master degree? ah……. confusing.
Neither the Biological Sciences- Nutrition nor the Animal Science majors are going to get you a job as a nurse. I think that maybe one of the reasons you are confused is because NC State does not offer a degree in nursing. Different universities offer different majors.
If you are truly interested in being a nurse, the best way to save time and money is to transfer to a university that offers nursing as a degree. Ones near you are UNC-Pembroke and East Carolina University.
When you graduate, you get a Bachelor of Science Degree in NURSING. You can then sit for the exam and get that RN and nursing job. From there, you can work towards the CLNC, while you are working as a nurse, getting paid and gaining valuable experience.
The salary you list is higher than reality (It may be based on something like a Medicaid reimbursement hour. Most of that money does not go toward the salary of the nurse, but towards other administrative expenses). The salary of a nurse is still quite good at the bachelor’s degree level compared to many fields.
If you do not have the Bachelor’s in Nursing, I don’t think you can get into a graduate nursing program.
Its an important decision. Go with your gut. Only you know what’s best. Its ok to start out at a university that you later find doesn’t meet your needs. Happens to many people. You can still be a member of the Pack at heart, no one can take that from you.
