Consistency across the nursing spectrum

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I think the nursing profession would gain a lot more respect if we were a bit more consistent within the profession. There are too many avenues to becoming a nurse. Entry level should be standardized for RN's and the level of education should be the same across the board. The difference in the educational levels of the RN's is killing us.

Does anyone know what the abbreviation MN stand for? is a Master's in Nursing?

I find the big divide more along the job-oriented nurses and the career oriented nurses.

I work at a big university teaching hospital. Almost all the nurses I work with on weekends are in school for something. One is starting her PhD, 2 are working on their masters in nursing, another is in school for NP and one just graduated from law school.

The job oriented (and I would put myself in this category) have all they need from their nursing degree, and are not looking for more.
