1. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

   Jami_Jared replied to Sheri257's topic in ADN/BSN

   The bachelors program that I attended had 3 years of primary nursing classes and 1 year of prereqs and general courses. But our college went above and beyond the minimal standards requiring 480 hours of clinicals a year, which frustrated me at first,...

2. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

   Jami_Jared replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   Tee It Up Tom --- I read in the thread that most of the nurses on here say that they eventually would like to go on for further education. I didn't just make that up. Its written all over the forums. The only reason that you can enjoy the 6 figure in...

3. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

   Jami_Jared replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   Timothy, Your words are eloquent and I respect your opinion. But you also need to respect mine and the need to have a unified minimum entry level requirement for nursing. I wonder where you are getting your stats from regarding the population of nurs...

   Jami_Jared replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   We will always have a shortage of health care professionals in the nation. The baby boomer generation is going to have many people in retirement soon and there are fewer generation X'ers to take care of them. And with more fields opening up to women,...

5. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

   Jami_Jared replied to pattycakebaby's topic in ADN/BSN

   Professional by definition has meant holding a Bachelors! It doesn't mean that nurses; LPN, ASN, ADN can't act like a professional. But having a "Professional" degree constitutes attending a university or 4 year college. I don't make the rules thats ...

6. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

   Jami_Jared replied to pattycakebaby's topic in ADN/BSN

   It all amounts to the fact that you attended a TECHNICAL college which is a lesser degree, and Bachelor's prepared attend a University which equals a PROFESSIONAL degree. If it was considered an equal degree than they would both have the same name. I...

   Jami_Jared replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   I would disagree with you completely. I am from North Dakota and we did not fail miserably during our long campaign of promoting the professionalism of holding a bachelor's degree for nursing. This law was not changed years ago either. It was recentl...

   Jami_Jared replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   North Dakota did change their requirement for requiring a bachelors and it saddens me deeply. Why can't we be proud of higher standards of education? As a nation we promote education and working hard for what you believe in. Why are we downplaying pe...

    Sometimes taking the easier path at the time isn't really what gets you ahead! ADN programs main goal is to train you to pass the NCLEX fast- BSN programs teach you critical thinking and have much more content rolled into a program rather than just t...
