BSN Required?

im currently finishing up my ADN myself, and that has been my question all over this board... someone advised me to get hired as a Nurse Tech, and that would show experience on your resume and give you a boost!! there are alot of people with BSN, but dont lose hope, i know i wont..especially if your billingual like me and someone with a BSN APPLIES FOR THE SAME JOB AS YOU..who would u think get hired?? the person who can communicate best with patients fluently regardless of the ADN...both degrees take the NCLEX exam... hope this helps...

It really depends on the hospitals. Once you have experience it won't be as big of a deal as it is right now for you. Before I became an RN (AD) I was an LVN who was hired as a clinical manager over 4 RN's (3 with BSN) and 2 LVN's. Of course the RN's weren't to happy at first but once they got to know me and that I knew my stuff it didn't matter. It's all about experience! So apply, obtain the experience and become great at being a Pedi nurse. Then you will have nothing to worry about.
