  7. Bachelors in Business to ADN

    I have an associates in nursing and a bachelors in business. I can't even get a nursing job let alone a nurse management job. I suggest getting your BSN just to be able to get a RN job. Good luck
  8. ASN or ADN??????

    Both are an associates degree in nursing and YES you can take the nclex-RN. I just did. Some schools only are diplomas in nursing and you can take the nclex-RN. I suggest you try to get your BSN. Most hospitals prefer that. At least in my area...Phil...
  9. Need study help for repeat nclex-rn taker

    I passed the nclex on my 4th time. Saunders worked for me. It helped me alot because it went over content...which I needed. Keep practicing questions and don't give up. Good luck!!
  10. Sub-Acute or Hospital

    I'm in the same position as you in Philadelphia, pa. I say take the job. You will get experience and can continue to look for a hospital position. It's not the greatest but it's experience and that's what hospitals want.
  11. white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    Your School is dumb. You can see white under white. Flesh colored you can't see under white. So I guess they want your patients to see your underwear. If its such a problem then why would they choose white pants. I guess but granny panties
  12. Why won't anyone hire new graduate nurses??!!?!?

    i also can't find a job. its rough. I dont know about you but relocating is not an option for me. In my mind thats absolutely ridiculous. All everyone is looking for is EXPERIENCE. How the hell can we do that if nobody will give us a chance. Dont giv...

  14. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    I have a BS in another field. I went to an accelerated nursing school in which I received an assosiates of science in nursing (ASN). I do not have a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). Even though I already have a bachelors degree it doesn't have ...
