  1. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    Your options with the MSN are: Adult Acute Care NP Adult NP Adult Oncology CNS Clinical Nurse Leader Neonatal NP Nurse Midwifery Nursing and Health Systems Management Nursing Science Pediatric NP Pediatric Acute Care NP Psychiatric Mental Health NP W...
  2. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    MS Traditional Admissions | College of Nursing I have heard they are pretty lenient with the 2 classes you need in terms of which classes or experience. If you inquire about the RN-BSN program and have a non-nursing bachelors, they will suggest y...
  3. ADN's being pushed out

    Here's a list of the courses I took in my ADN program. It doesn't seem like much is really missing from a typical BSN program... Introduction to Professional Nursing: Concepts and Practice Nursing Care of Adults and Older Adults I Health Assessme...
  4. ADN's being pushed out

    One hospital I was interested says: "Graduated from an NLNAC or CCNE accredited nursing baccalaureate program (BSN). Candidates graduating from an Associates Degree-to-BSN or LPN-to-BSN programs are not eligible"
  5. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    SiestaRN - I PM'd you a highly ranked MSN program that allows you to go straight into the MSN (no RN-BSN courses required). You are looked at the same way as a BSN.
  6. ADN's being pushed out

    This is nothing like how it is in my area. My ADN program did clinical rotations at every single major hospital in the are (all Magnet) and we even did more Magnet hospital based clinical rotations than one of the BSN programs. We also learned card...
  7. Slapped across the face by male patient

    Yes, I would definitely file a police report. I just wouldn't have high expectations. I had a male patient close fist punch me in the face unprovoked (I said YES when he asked for another Sprite) at work who was alert & oriented x3 and nothing ...
  8. ADN's being pushed out

    When I said my last semester is, I meant that I am currently in my last semester :) Nursing was just a second career for me - I already have a bachelors degree and I work in clinical research. I wish I could have done a 2nd degree accelerated BSN pr...
  9. ADN's being pushed out

    I'm not sure what kind of ADN program you graduated from, but we discussed ethics extensively, had an entire class on community health nursing (including a few clinicals in public health nursing), and always used evidence based practice nursing. Who...
  10. ADN's being pushed out

    Hmm... how does changing the ADN to a BSN make for a better living? In my area, pay is the same. So please elaborate on the living differences? And I do a perfectly fine job at communicating, writing, and critical thinking. I do have a bachelors de...
  11. ADN's being pushed out

    Yes, all those history, linguistics, world music, and politics classes I took for my bachelors degree is going to make me a MUCH better nurse. Personally, I'm skipping the BSN because the MSN program in my area allows ADN + non-nursing bachelors to e...
  12. ADN's being pushed out

    The hospital I will be working at when I graduate is Magnet and requires ADN RNs to get a BSN within 5 years, but has 100% tuition reimbursement if you attend their nursing program (which is top 20 ranked, so no complaints from me)!
  13. Help needed and severe advice about CRNA

    CCRN would be a big resume booster too. Some programs are starting to require it.
  14. Help needed and severe advice about CRNA

    Don't rush it because of this as it is not true. I promise you will not have get a doctorate degree to be an advanced practice nurse effective 2015 :)
  15. I am graduating in December and I am starting to convert my business resume into a nursing resume so I can start looking for jobs soon! I have no idea how to make a nursing resume and my school doesn't offer any help. I winged one and I was hoping s...
