2. RN-BSN Student Knows Too Much

   Wayne47 replied to NurseDrizzles's topic in ADN/BSN

   Just do the work that is expected of you. BSN classes cover a lot of the material you already covered in your ADN. You are paying to be there just do the work. If you make a big deal about it you will just get written up, flunk, or get expelled. No r...

   No offense to anyone but I don't understand the point of going to nursing school attaining an RN or even BSN only to work in computers. It seems like a lot of work to to become a nurse then not use the license.
