Nurse Looking for Online Masters Degree

September 24th, 2008 by Becars

I’ve been working as a hospital nurse for five years, but my salary would be higher if I had a master’s degree.  We have two young children and want to buy a bigger house.  It never hurts to have extra money, since everything costs more nowadays.

I knew there were online colleges with flexible schedules that offered online nursing degrees, but I wanted to make sure they were accredited schools which would accept transfer credits for the few extra nursing courses I had taken after graduating. It didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for. I also found that just because it’s an online program doesn’t mean I don’t have to work hard. My instructors expect a great deal from us, and I’m learning a lot.  One of the perks of being in school while working full-time is that my husband has to help out more at home.  He’s actually turned out to be a pretty good cook.  We’re both learning to be much more organized -  the kids too.  I tell them they should be grateful we didn’t have to move anywhere, or else it wouldn’t have been possible for me to go back to school.
