			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i will graduate in May, and i have decided that i want to be a nurse, but my main problem is i don&#8217;t know if i should get my Associates degree first and then get my bachelors, or get the bachelors first. Either way i want the BSN so i can get my MSN to be and NP.<br />
but i&#8217;m 18 and money is sort of an  issue i already have a Texas tomorrow fund in which i have an associates already paid for but i want to know is it better to get and ADN and then go back later to get the BSN?<br />
I&#8217;m also wondering what it is like to be a man in predominately female career.</p>

Does anyone have specific names of schools that offer partial or full online course work to complete the associate&#8217;s degree nedeed to take the RN licensure exam? I&#8217;m aware that clinicals are on site so I guess the school would have to be in or affiliated with one in the LA area where I live. (Pasadena specifically). Thanks!</p>

I think I should get an analog watch instead of digital.  Advice and links to specific watches would be great.<br />
My feelings: I don&#8217;t like metal bands. Must not be a metal band.  I have not worn a watch in a decade, and prefer one that is not huge.<br />
Thanks! Best answer gets the 10 points!</p>

There are excellerated programs to get me the masters degree in 3 years.  Also what else can one do with a masters degree in nursing?  Can any NP&#8217;s tell me what they do exactly and if they like their job or not?  What specialties are there?  Thanks in advance!</p>
