I went to orientation this week for my RN to BSN program.... while most was like any orientation - a bit boring.... I was amazed at how friendly and helpful EVERYONE on the campus was.... not like my ADN school at all (they could have cared less).
What I appreciated the most was when the director of the program gave her welcome speech - she didn't get into the whole ADN vs BSN argument at all... in fact what she told us was we did not have to be here, no one was telling us to do this, it was not required and that we would always have jobs even without the BSN... but that we were doing it for ourselves and that they really admire us for it. What a breath of fresh air!
I am still really nervous about it but they seem REALLY dedicated to seeing us succeed and I know several others who have gone through this program and say they are on the up and up - no BS. Can't wait to start classes in a couple of weeks!
