Please stop the blank v.s blank debates.

As a pre nursing school student I have enjoyed this website. It has allowed me to “chat” with nurses who are currently in the field and get some much needed support and information about the nursing field. At the same time it is very frustrating reading the same debates ASN v.s BSN RN, LPN v.s RN, LPN/RN v.s CNA. This make me second guess my choice in changing my career to health care field. I currently work in the business as a customer service rep ( was working on a BSN in office administration before changing my major to nursing) and I am constantly remind that have no real title or authority. Sometimes I wonder if I chose to take the ASN (because of my age) if my future nursing peers will criticize me as taking the “easy” route in becoming a RN. Please tell me that this issue does not come up too much in the everyday careers lives of heath care professionals as it does it on these threads. I always wanted to become a nurse but seems that there is just as is it true that there is just much politics and drama as there is in the business field?

I agree with those saying just refrain from threads that bother you, rather than try to tell others what they should or should not discuss.

WHAT???!!!! What about "McDonald's vs.Burger King"? That thread was shut down before a consensus was reached-so disappointing.I am waiting for the resurrection...Anyone remember the "coffee or tea" thread? Long time members left the allnurses site forever after that one closed....

What about McDonald's vs Burger King? You take one side and I'll take the other.:smiley_ab
