   FLBeachNurse replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

   Mattsmom, I agree with you. I, too, was offended by the article, and this is my third post in this thread now, I think! Of course we are as competent as any BSN. Actually, I met a nurse a few years ago who went to a 4 year school, but had no idea ...

   My friend AMYRN referred me to this board regarding another post, and I stumbled upon this one that she posted about my husband! How sweet! What a thoughtful person she is! I didn't even know she had posted it. And she's not even someone I've eve...

   Oh, how tired I am of the victim mentality. And I can't even escape it on a nursing forum.

   FLBeachNurse replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

   We nurses know that the only thing the BSN programs do differently is spend more time teaching management skills. Even with that fact, most of the supervisors I've had have Associates degrees rather than a BSN! The only advantage I've seen to a BSN...
