((((OCNRN63)))))))

It wouldn't have changed how you were as an RN. It wouldn't have given you more $$$ even!

I agree. It doesn't change who you are as a RN, IMO. I don't feel bad about not having a BSN. If I get one, great...if I don't, great.

1971 graduate of LPN hospital diploma program.

Did work about 8-10 mos as a Nurse's Aide (no certification, just on-the-job-learn-as-you-go) but it was because I needed a job, but didn't want to work in any of the local industries: fish-packing, or glue factory; didn't want to be a waitress.

It was during that time that it slowly dawned on me that the nursing field was INTERESTING. And after I thought, "Huh. Whaddya know!", I started looking in to nursing schools.

Listen, Far'wyn, In spite of many urging me to do so, I never, ever, ever, EVER wanted to get my RN. I just didn't. So, I didn't.

*Bows* :) Whew! That's a lot of years of experience!
