U.S.A. Tennessee

hello everyone-

I am a new RN grad from Alabama. The job market here is past tight. I wondering if it is any better in TN?

Not to get on the ASN vs BSN argument, but if you crunch the numbers 15 of 18 having BSN's makes sense. With U of M, Baptist, Union, UT (the last classes) all graduating many BSN's and Southwest graduating 14 ASN's, statisically speaking 15 of 18 having BSN's is probably close to being accurate without it necessarily meaning that the BSN's always have an advantage.

Specializes in ICU, Med-Surg, Post-op, Same-Day Surgery.

You're probably right, but of the BSN grads they hired many were from out of state, and interestingly enough no one was hired from Baptist, Union, or UT. The ADN's were hired locally. Go figure. Either way they say they hired the 'cream of the crop', so everyone that is there worked hard to be there. :)

Wow! That really is interesting!! Congrats to you on being the "cream of the crop"!
