Thinking Of Making Change In Career-nursing Or Teaching Math?

Filed in The Category Florida Nursing Schools

First let me say that any guidance anyone here can give would be so greatly appreciated. I am 35, married and working on the first child. I make a good living in Corp. Treasury but work with a group of arrogant, unsavory and personality deficient persons. In addition, I would like to eh opportunity to do something I enjoy (or think I would enjoy) as well as earn a pension with the goal of early retirement by 60.
Potential career paths:
1) Junior/ High School Math Teacher
** I have an MBA in Business and the job will pay towards a second Masters in education.
Concerns: How likely am I to be hired for a job teaching at 35 years old and how much could I expect to earn on Long Island, New York or Orlando, Melbourne Florida?
2) Nursing – As a male I am aware this a predominantly female position. I am aware of a 1 year course of study for those with a bachelors degree in something else that will end with the earning of a bachelors in Nursing at SUNY Stony Brook.

Getting Hired in Hawaii as a Nurse with a degree from University of Phoenix?

Filed in The Category Hawaii Nursing Schools

I lived in Hawaii for the past 12 years and been on a few career path that didn’t pan out. However, I have decided to look into medical field and become a Nurse. The only thing is that I am a little concern about employment opportunity in Hawaii (Oahu) as a Nurse. I have attended University of Phoenix on campus and on Online classes for Business Management but currently I am on a financial break. I plan on finishing out my Business Management degree soon with University of Phoenix because I am almost done with a year left of credits to go. Then after I am done, I plan to go for the Nursing Degree but my concern and question is being able to get hired as a Nurse in Hawaii with a Nursing degree from University of Phoenix? I heard that Hawaii medical industry is very particular when hiring people with a Nursing degree if it didn’t come from Hawaii educational system; is this true? Will my nursing degree be acknowleged in Hawaii for hire at a hospital if it is from University of Phoenix Online/Campus? Or will I have to switch schools such as University of Hawaii or Hawaii Pacific University, etc? If anyone have any information on this please advise, thanks.

What should I do for college?

Filed in The Category Nebraska Nursing Schools

I’m a senior in high school and I’m applying to colleges right now. i want to be a nurse, and am going to be a pre-nursing major.
I’m trying to find the right schools to apply too.
I want to be in a school that is preferably in, or relatively near, a nice metropolitan area, so i would have a variety of opportunities for internships and so on.
Also, my counselor said it doesn’t matter where i go to school for nursing because employers don’t care. A nurse is a nurse. Is there truth behind his statement?
What do you think about the following colleges, in terms of location?
Another important factor is social life…I’m a social butterfly and I like parties and I cant stand just doing nothing on the weekends.

Arizona State University (downtown phoenix campus)
University of Arizona
Pace University (pleasantville campus)
CSU Chico
Sacramento State
San Jose State
San Diego State
Southern Oregon University
Humboldt State
Temple University
University of Scranton

Btw, i live in northern california ( San francisco area)
and i dont mind leaving the state, as long as its not a random state like mississippi or nebraska. haha

thanks in advance.

Does Anyone Know Anything About Obtaining A Limited X-ray License?

Filed in The Category Arkansas Nursing Schools

specifically in the state of Arkansas? Is it true you simply have to study for and pass a board exam without attending a college of radiology? I recently graduated nursing school and plan to work in the radiology field. I thought the limited license might be a nice touch to my resume?

Does anyone have advice on a great university/college for someone going into secondary education?

Filed in The Category South Carolina Nursing Schools

I want to teach English and Theater at the high school level, and need to start looking for a four-year college to transfer to. I have about a year left until I receive my Associates in Liberal Arts with an English Concentration. I am worried about finding a school with a great reputation for its School of Education, as well as being cost-effective (my wife and I are both full time students, work full time, and are raising a one-year old daughter, so money is ALWAYS an issue). It would also need to have an active theater department. I would like to find a school in the Mid-West or down South (our families are in Indiana, Georgia, and South Carolina). I know I am asking a lot, but I have a lot to consider besides just my education… my wife’s ability to find a good paying job as a nurse, close proximity to family, and hopefully jobs available for me when I graduate. If anyone has any great suggestions, it would be appreciated! Thank you.
