   dachlewis replied to skyheaven477's topic in Career Support

   Who would have figured that a BSN would be the most worthless thing we ever worked for. I'm in the same boat and there is nothing on the horizon. That light that we see at the end of the tunnel is nothing more than an oncoming train. What also sucks...
