Hi I'm Peonie!
I have Bipolar II disorder... I would just like to ask if my decision is right to take the US Registered Nurse Exam at my late twenties even though I already decided that I will not pursue bedside or hospital nursing forever? I'm a foreign graduate nurse here in the Philippines and graduated last 2011. I work for our family business. I will take the exam just to challenge myself if I would be able to pass it and for it to become a stepping stone of being able to work in the US since I plan to study my MBA in US. Is this decision right? Or have I only wasted the 1,500 USD that I borrowed from my parents just to be able to take the exam

I don't know anything about nursing, but if you already paid the $1500 to take the test, then it makes sense to take the test. Who knows what kind of opportunities you might have in the future? It's bought and paid for and you have the knowledge. Good luck on the exam!

If you've already paid for it, then go for it. You have nothing to lose at this point.
I don't know what opportunities are like in the Philippines, but in America there is SO much you can do with a nursing degree and designation, even besides being actively involved in patient care. Good luck! |

I'd take the exam. I went to college with a woman who was a nurse but was back to school for a business related degree. I think it just opens the door to possibilities.

Scared that if I fail on my exam, I got so much to lose and failure may lead me to another downward spiral toward depression again
