It amazes me that NC has one of the best university systems in the US, but its public schools rank so low.\n\nChapel Hill is about the only district in the state known for having a decent school system.  There are always private schools.

You will have to get your degree evaluated.  If you are in the new york area this website http://www.op.nysed.gov/nursing.htm will give you an idea of where you must start.  It can be done but the education must be evaluated before you can take the NCLEX.  If it is approved you can file for a certificate of exemption before you take to exam.  Each state has its own requirements so find out, what your state will require.  \n\nIf you do have to do over your education look at it as a stepping stone to greater educational accomplishments.\n\nGood luck.... it will pay off in the end.

Registered nursing actually has 2 different tracks (there may still be 3). One may become an RN by going to junior or community college for 2 years and then taking the license exam. Another way is a 4 year BSN that will prepare you not only for patient care, but for nursing management as well. Many of the nurses I worked with started out the an ASN (2 yr degree) and then went on to the BSN while working as an RN. \n\nThere may still be some 3 year diploma courses, but those are going away. Years ago that was the norm and there were many hospital based diploma courses, but of late they have become college based and ASN or BSN degrees. \n\nAnother route is to take an LPN course which takes about a year and then work as an LPN while going on to RN school. \n\nThere is a well established distance learning program leading to the RN credential at Excelsior College in New York (It was called Regents College and you still hear the term Regents degreed nurse). \n\nCheck with the NLN - the National League for Nursing as it is the program accreditor for Nursing schools. It will be very hard to get a job or a license if your school is not NLN accredited. \n\nAlso check your state's licensing board to see if they have any special requirements.

Most major universities have some type of master's deg. in education.  It just depends on what type of education degree you want.  There are several Christian universities in the U.S. as well.  Liberty University is one that I know of.  I think there is one in NC called Temple.  I would go on the net and do a search.  You will probably get lots of hits so you might want to narrow the search down to your region.

There are a lot of good schools in NC. \n\nEast Carolina in Greenville \nAppalachian State in Boone (in mountain area.)\nUNC-Pembroke (small school but great programs, got my B.S here)\nUNC-Wilmington\nJohnson C Smith in Charlotte\nUNC-Greensboro\nA&T\n\nI'm not to fond of the campuses at Central and Fayetteville State.  I'm not sure about Central's programs though.\nFayetteville State is were I started on my masters and I did not like it.  They lost alot of paper work and made incorrect charges.\n\nThen they are always the larger campuses, like UNC, NC State, and Duke like everyone mentioned.

Yes you can. A local hospital in my area hires them. A certified nursing assitant can work almost anywhere that hires them as long as they are under the supervision of a registered nurse. So go for that job! Most likely your duties would include helping patients to the bathroom who stay overnight for pain treatments,bathing non-ambulatory patients,etc. They need CNAs just as much as any other hospital. I don't know what state you live in but here are north carolinas regulations.\n*Employment MUST include ALL FOUR (4) of the following to qualify for listing renewal:\n1) Work is for monetary compensation\n2) Work is as a nurse aide, performing direct patient care\n3) Work is under the supervision of a registered nurse\n4) Total time worked equals eight (8) hours or more

Can't you get financial aid?  I go to a public university in NC, and live on campus which hikes the price, and about 1/3 of my aid comes from grants about the rest from stafford loans.  \n\nYou can always go to community college first, where you'll also be eligible for financial aid, and it is a LOT cheaper.  You can then transfer and get a semester or two taken out towards your degree.  If you can you should try to graduate in 3 or 3.5 years.  It's not that hard to do, but if you plan well, you can save yourself lots of money.\n\nAlso, make sure you know what you want to major in before you go.  If you change your major a bunch of times you can prolong your stay.  You should also ask yourself is college worth going through?  A lot of community college degrees like nursing will get you a job before a B.A. in History will.

The best I can think of is doing a blended MSN/MBA or MSN/MPH. This combination of degrees should give you the education needed to put you in hospital administration or work in healthcare policy. The MSN could also give you enough education to teach nursing to students that are aspiring BSN's, LPN's or ADN's. The Doctor of Nursing Practice could also prepare you for a career in research or education, and at most institutions that is only one extra year of schooling. The DNP is a new degree, but with healthcare you never know what the future holds. Or you could take the next 4+ years and become a PhD. \n\nHow does Dr. Lilbittygirl sound? I think it has a ring to it! Reach for the sky...

Unless you are already a nurse, either an LPN or associate degreed RN - I believe you are out of luck as far as finding a reputable school who will allow you to complete your degree online.\n\nThere are online degrees for LPN's seeking an Associate Degree or a BSN/RN degree.  Also there are RN (Associate Degree) to BSN programs available online.  If you have no nursing degree whatsoever, I know of no program such as you describe.\n\nNOTE: PLEASE read carefully the details on these online programs.  The one listed below is for a Bachelor of Science in Business...it is not an actual Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

I believe Georgetown University in Washington, DC has an excellent nursing program.

There are a few ways to become a nurse in the US.  You can become an LPN or an RN.  LPNs are pretty limited in what they can do, and usually graduate from a one year program.  To become an RN, you can either go to a two year program and earn an associate's degree or a four year program and earn a bachelor's degree.  In the hospital supposedly RNs with associate degrees and bachelors degrees do the same things, but some hospitals are starting to require the bachelor degree, and the bachelor degree programs offer more leadership classes.  In addition, if you want to become an advanced practice nurse (such as a nurse practictioner) you will need to have the bachelor's degree.
