1. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

   ohmg replied to jlpsu's topic in ADN/BSN

   A BSN isn't a management degree, nor is it for that purpose. It's the base for nursing now. Nursing exists in hundreds of fields beyond the floor, and yes the floor sucks, and it sucked before Obamacare further screwed up nursing ratios. If you're ...

2. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

   ohmg replied to ohiosam2's topic in NP

   In most states, NPs can practice independently. Having non NPs manage you likely introduces risk. Good for you having physicians that have their heads on straight. I'd be damned as an NP to have a BSN 'managing' me...

8. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

   ohmg replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

   Took me 3 years of volunteering before I started getting hospital job offers. 5 scholarships, 3.99 gpa. 70+ nursing schools in a 100 mile radius will do that, and I wasn't willing to move. That said, there are plenty of rural RN jobs, nationwide.
