roles for BSN

Are you already an RN and have been working an RN in those units?

I don't have my BSN yet, but am going to work on it.

My spouse had a BSN and used it to get a position in administration as a house supervisor. He then got a Masters in Health Care Administration and used that to get an even better job where education mattered.

There are plenty of opportunities that require a BSN, depends on what your goals are.

I have a BSN and have a serious matter, I am bailing out of nursing and no longer want to deal with nursing period. But, since I have a four year degree, am wondering how I can make it work for me? Share what you know, it will certainly help me in my plight...

I have had a major ordeal within the context of my career and I no longer wish to continue working as a floor nurse or for any hospital as an RN. My BSN will do what for me at this point, if the position requests for a nurse, then I am not going to fit. I do not want to exercise my nursing ability whatsoever!! I am done with the varied abuses received and or implied or experienced by others. What then are my options? As far as I am concerned, any and all states can make their silly claims of the nursing shortage crisis...but unless some serious changes are made to respect the field of nursing, count me out.

i'm afraid to to back to college to be a lvn.why because i'm 34 and school is alot harder now than it was before 15 years ago.

First - to the OP. When I finished my BSN (May 2004) I was able to get a case management job.

Michelleicu - you are still very young! I went back to school at 30 for my LPN, 34 for my ADN, 44 for my BSN, and 46 for the MSN!! You can do it if I can!!!

Totally burned. If you have a bachelor's degree it can open a lot of other doors that have nothing to do with nursing.

It would probably help, though to take a few basic business courses if you haven't already.

There are so many nursing opportunities that require little or no patient contact, though, and your expertise can help a lot.

I am 35 and working on my BSN. Why? I want to teach clinicals to RN's and I am not able to do so without a BSN. I also value education and actually enjoy most of the coursework. It may take me another year or 2 but who cares? I will turn 37 in 2 years anyhow. Might as well have my degree and my birthday to celebrate.
