   edgarandersonrn replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Nursing

   Who wants to have to take Texas history in order to get a degree? JK. There are colleges and universities in our area that have similar prices to Univertsity of Texas. I have friends that are choosing to go to a RN-BSN program because they feel the p...

3. New Grad looking to relocate to Charlotte area

   edgarandersonrn posted a topic in North Carolina

   I graduated as an ADN and have finally lost interest in looking in NJ and convinced my wife that relocating to NC might not be a bad idea. Next week I am heading down to visit family and take a look at hospitals. My wife is also a nurse, she has 4 ye...

4. Is it really illegal to require BSN?

   edgarandersonrn replied to mamaxmaria's topic in New Jersey

   Magnet status requires that ANM's and NM's have BSN's. Direct care nurses are not required to have BSN's. It is zealousy that is causing this ripple in finding a job. Hospitals should concentrate on finding the right nurse as opposed to weeding out A...

6. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

   edgarandersonrn replied to edgarandersonrn's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate everyone's response. I should have probably asked the question, "How is a BSN a better candidate for employment than an ADN or Diploma Nurse?" In my experience over the past few years I have had the pleasure to meet and work with plenty ...

   I should have quoted that to the original article. I am not trying to say that BSN educated nurses are any less than ADN's. They are certainly equal. I am just kind of annoyed of the preference they are getting. It's not ageism? A large majority of n...

8. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

   edgarandersonrn replied to edgarandersonrn's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think you understand, the tide has turned; at least in NJ. You cannot even get an interview without a BSN. There is a difference in education levels; because of the amount of time spent in clinical by ADN and Diploma nurses the more likely th...

9. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

   edgarandersonrn posted a topic in General Nursing

   The more I think about being an out of work RN because I lack experience and graduated from an Associate/Diploma school makes me wonder about the whole magnet status idea. After doing much reading, I have come to the conclusion that Magnet status is ...

10. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    edgarandersonrn replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    IF it was with that group of questions it sounds like they are more concerned that you were asked to leave the school for disciplinary problems rather than asked to drop out because you failed to meet minimum grade requirements.

    edgarandersonrn replied to starmickey03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't take the time to look this up but... I am not sure a woman on her period should handle the child of an orthodox jew, but then again how would the patient know?
