Which specialty of nursing did you choose, how did you prepare for it and why did you choose it?
Hello everyone! I'm a first-generation college student and CNA here in San Diego. I'm pursuing a nursing career and am convinced that I will be specializing in a branch of nursing (masters) in the future. Currently, I'm in the process of receiving a general degree in math and science this fall! I will be preparing for the TEAS (AKA HESI) after the fall semester to apply for nursing school in Spring 2021, at two of my local community colleges! I have already planned on doing a bridge program at PLNU to get my bachelor's degree. I hope that you can all tell me about your experience the ways you prepared to pursue a specialty once you became an RN. Tips and advice are helpful! (Also, any tips on how to prepare for the TEAS and get a high score LOL). Thank you all in advance!! #nursing #college #healthcare #medicine #nurses #nurse
