  1. Phasing Out ADN?

    I'm not far behind you and graduated in '80. I too could have most any position I wanted until about 10 years ago. Now all the ads are either BSN preferred or required. I remember the days (I'm on the verge of retirement so that gives you a clue...
  2. Phasing Out ADN?

    But the unfortunate part is that the ADNs have been relegated to nursing homes. Not to take away from nursing homes but there should be more options. If you don't want ADNs in management, fine, but don't take away hospital bedside. The notion that BS...
  3. Phasing Out ADN?

    I would probably agree with this but in a different way. I would encourage people to get the ADN, take the NCLEX, get a job, and then enroll in a RN-BSN program. It's likely that in the long run it will cost less money. The only deterrent I can see t...
  4. Phasing Out ADN?

    It's an opinion
  5. Phasing Out ADN?

    I'm in total agreement. Many with a BSN who got their ADN first will tell you it's nothing but fluff (community health and research, neither of which is on the NCLEX) There are also many BSNs, including one here, that will tell you stats show BSNs nu...
  6. Phasing Out ADN?

    Did you see where post COVID nurse salaries are plummeting? That's how much hospitals and admins think of you. As Boomers continue to age, we are heading for a serious crisis, as if we don't already have one.
  7. Phasing Out ADN?

    Wow. I just learned how to do a simple algebra calculation for that one
  8. Phasing Out ADN?

    43 Years ago I received my ASN from a private university. We started with 66 and graduated 32 so yes, there is a weeding out process. Also, when I did the ASN I did the entire thing in 2 years, including 2 semesters in the summers, which is kind of n...
  9. Whatever you say. I'm apparently not allowed to disagree with you.
  10. Finally, a voice of reason. Thank you for your post.
  11. He gave it to the wrong patient and nearly killed her.
  12. It doesn't matter because no one will hire her anyway. It's all moot. I never said she should return to any hands on clinical area. There are nonclinical things she can do that require a RN but people here don't even want her doing that. I think ther...
  13. Thank you for that. They could still do case management (believe it or not) and prior authorization. Things that require a RN. What about nursing informatics or something of that nature? Well, for that she would probably need a MSN. I think most of t...
  14. I get it and you're right. I'm just no longer interested in the post.
  15. I seem to be the only one here willing to cut her some slack. Even with putting limitations on her practice everyone here seems to have a need to crucify her. Maybe this isn't the right forum to ask such a question.
