My niece is an RN, but she is in the process of getting her Bachelors degree. She said that you can't be in any type of supervisory position unless you have it. We live in an area with a large amount of hospitals/doctors within a 60 mile radius, she has never had much trouble finding a job. She is slowly working her way toward a NP. She said that the last year of her nursing school was grueling and was lucky to have her mom, dad and husband to care for their son. She even had to quit her job. She said you have so much studying that you can't hold a job at the same time. Good luck on finding something.
