1. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

   mama, bsn replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   Let me first say that there are many adn's that are better nurses than bsn's and vice versa. I personally believe that a BSN should be entry to practice if we are to ever shed this label. Most adn programs take longer than 2 years anyway, so why not...

2. Don't Like It!

   mama, bsn replied to 4EverHis's topic in New Nurse

   Well, I am going to make 1.50 less than both of our local hospitals pay. This is so worth it to me! I have a four month old, and knowing that I will be able to be there on Christmas, Easter, etc was definately worth it to me for the pay cut! I wen...

3. Anyone Attend St. Ambrose University?

   mama, bsn replied to skoeppel's topic in Iowa

   I graduated from there this year. It's a good school. Everyone so far from our class has passed boards. They do have kinks to work out, being new and everything. It is expensive as heck!! Good luck!

9. Children and career?

   mama, bsn replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am not trying to start an argument, I am a Christian woman and do not want conflict. However, I do not think it is your place to tell other parents what their children need. There is nothing wrong with children going to day care as long as you fi...
