My wife and I are in the Nursing program here in Las Vegas where we live. My wife is Russian and extremely smart. We went into the Nursing program because we returned from living in Russia for the past five and a half years and had trouble getting a good job. I think that Nursing is a good job.
What do you people think of a nursing student becoming a certified nursing assistant and an apprentice nurse prior to actually becoming a registered nurse? We have been offered jobs, but don't know if it would help us. The money won't be great and the job might be low tech, but I think that we would have a leg up on any new nurse on the scene. Also, our ultimate goal is to become travel nurses (I am a travel-holic and been in 65 countries and counting) and see the USA in our Chevrolet.
Incidentally, this school has cemented the relationship between my wife and I like nothing I have ever seen before. We are kind of comrades in arms and have become even closer than when we fell in love. Corny, but true.
