No... I do not want to get into which one is better.
I am in a BSN program, it was the best choice for me for a number of reasons and I am happy with that choice.
I am simply curious why some people say BSN nurses are "lost" on the floor when they get hired so they would rather have ADNs. I have a friend that is in an ADN program and we appear to have the same quantity of hours in clinicals, we do clinicals at mostly the same hospitals, the care plans we do sound pretty similar other than I have to do some additional work for mine. She does her classes in a compact format so instead of taking Psych and Care II each for a whole semester her program split the semester up and she did Psych half time and Care II half the time.... so in the fall semester we did the same classes except that I also had research and Gero. We have both been busy with school so havent had time to compare anything else other than I have the few random classes like Path, Research and leadership that she doesnt get... but taking those shouldn't make me less effective on the floor.
It sounds like its a reference to clinical experience but if the amount of clinical time is the same with the same random luck opportunity to actually do things like trach, ostomy or wound care. Random odds of starting IVs that either one of us may or may not get...
What is the difference and why is the assumption an ADN will have more practical experience?
Is this just an assumption that BSN nurses will be less task oriented?
