What can I do with a degree in nursing (no license)?

[shizzle]

Can anyone help me by telling me what kind of job I can get with a degree in nursing?

I have no license because i was not successful in my licensure exam.

Any advice, please?
Thx.

I have looked for work before with a business admin degree and found it to be worthless. I believe, unless you do some hard selling of yourself, you will only be able to push the BSN so far as to be able to say that you are a college graduate. You are actually, more likely to be hindered, because they will look at you and wonder why you aren't good enough to be employed as a nurse. When I sought work outside of nursing, I was asked this directly when being interviewed at "cattle call" interviews. Needless to say, with my college education and nursing license, I was almost never hired in other lines of work and didn't work again until I went back into nursing. You need to get that nursing license. You can do it.

Hey Shiz,

As Cali said, potential employers would not likely call you without a license regardless of your degree. Too bad about first attempt at the NCLEX but know you're in good company. Many take it more than once. Take a little time away from it and then try it again. Consider review courses for organization skills or anxiety control. They do help. Let us know how things work out.

Good luck,
