Did I make a mistake of choosing to study Nursing?
I was working for a decade before I made up my mind to go back to school and get a BS degree in Nursing. I dreamed of being a CNM some day... I even got into SUNY for Associates program but I thought a straight 4 years bachelors is better than 2 year program, but I chose India to study cz its a lot cheaper here.. but I guess I made a mistake!! Life sucks in the college I am in. Psychologically, am goin through hell, more than encouraging me, my lecturers just mock most of us, sometimes even use bad language!! There is no life at all, I leave home by 5 30, college starts at 7 am and ends at 6 pm, Mon - Sat!! Its not even human... I reach home pretty late.. I have aged parents.. I really need to finish this program.. but 4 more years scares me... am getting demotivated, tired, frustrated.. :-( Also, I read that nursing jobs are also at risk... by the time I finish my degree, I duno how it would be. I am very keen on applying for my masters degree in US later on; I wish to end up as a CNM.. Is it like this in all Nursing schools? I never socialize now, I have stopped dating, its just school, assignments, and clinical duty......... someone pls say smthing positive for me to move on.... I dont wanna repent after my graduation for leaving a job and choosing to study...... Whats the future of nursing??!!

This is rather blunt and maybe a bit harsh, but here it is: No, you did not make a mistake in choosing nursing, the mistake was made in choosing to attend college in India when you plan to work and go to graduate school in the US. Nursing school and college in general is not like this in the US. Get your butt back over here! You need to learn nursing in a medically-advanced country, not India! As far as being cheaper......go to a state university here in the US....you can usually cover the entire tuition with student loans...... Nursing jobs are not "at risk"......people will always become ill or injured, and not all women can or want to have a home birth. However, you will be competing for jobs in the hospitals with nurses who have earned their degree from an NLN-accredited college or university...not in a country that has pretty much "3rd world" conditions for health care.

It is unlikely pursuing this degree will get you anywhere. Unless the program is recognized as equivalent to nursing school in the US they will not even recognize the degree. Even if they do it is unlikely that you will have the skills you need to work in most US hospitals. Cut your loses and return to the states and get the Associates degree and then work toward your BSN.

Amit for you US is the better option than Australia. You need to give Toefl for US, it will do for Australia also but IELTS is more preferable if you go to Australia. In Toefl you need to score above 90 from 120 In IELTS you need to score above 7 bands from 9 If you have good command on English than you wont face any trouble to get above scores. If you are goin to US you have also to give GRE thats enterance exams for specialized master courses in US for Science & Engineering. GRE covers Quantitative Application, English with essays, comprehensions and very much about grammar. The line of your study is in much demand in US rathar than Australia. And also you can avail scholarships if your acadamics is good here n if average than you can score good there and apply for scholarship for second semester. Best of Luck dude.

No you wouldn't have to take the whole program over again. RNs are RNs. You will likely only have to take the licensing board exam to eb able to practice in the province that you choose to work in. http://allnurses.com/international-nursing/us-rn-new-340031.html This is a good post to read. It is someone who trained in the USA but wants to work in Canada, I think that some it will apply to you too.

I want to go into nursing and get my BSN degree. Where should I go for school next year once I grad. from hs?
I was thinking of going to CSU Channel Islands but that will take too long. I want to get my bachelor's in about 3-4 yrs. w/out having to wait on a waiting list and the private colleges cost way too much and will be hard to afford. I'm not sure where I should go and my parents are telling me to go to India to study and get the degree, where it will be cheaper and faster. Any suggestions?

India may be ok from the financial persecutive but not from the academic one. Try applying for a nursing assistant position at a hospital in Saudi Arabia. Within a year or two of hard work, you'll have the money to attend the best of universities.
