I'm so sorry I didnt go straight for my BSN

Ok so I had enough of this...I have been applying to literally like thousand of hospitals and I got turned down because I dont have my BSN or experience, so if I knew what I know now I would definitely go straight for my BSN and not only that I would have made sure I worked at hospital as nurse's aid during my NS.

So to all of those who are planning to become nurses or are in the Nursing school,please do not make the same mistake I did, try to work as a nursing assistant during your nursing school or go for your BSN

THanks..

I'm right there with the OP, I am beginning to regret going for my ASN. I have a Bachelor's degree in a different major and a few years experience in the hospital, but it seems as though nobody cares. I'm still working as a part time nursing tech even though I have my RN now and its humiliating to say the least. I can't quit because I have bills to pay -- its why I went the ASN route in the first place. But now all every single job description I come across say is BSN preferred. All the great nursing residencies have BSN required to apply. I broke down crying last night because I've reached my wits end. Despair is the only word that comes to mind of how I feel right now.
