   start applying for other jobs now. It is obvious that these people are looking for ways to mainstream you onto their team, but rather to get you out. Don't take it personally, yes they are too lazy to mentor you, and yes you have some problems you ne...

9. Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

14. Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    mmm333 replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    That's not to say that an MSN from Yale, Georgetown, or UCSF isn't going to impress more than one from one of the for-profit online schools. But BSN is really just a box-check, the curriculum is pretty much standard.
