   Because I think that I should get some Critical Care nursing under my belt and make sure that I can do great assessments. I had thought about going into ER right away, but ER and ICU go hand in hand so I think I will benefit more by the ICU at this p...

   The more education you have, the more knowledge and power you have. If anything obtain your BSN for personal achievement. Why shouldn't a BSN have a higher pay, they went an extra step to get that degree. Your right we all do the same job, but the mo...
