1. Degree over Experience?

   Delancree replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely understand anhow your BSN helped you. I did state that the degree needed for one’s position should be obtained. I just don’t agree that some places are demanding that nurses have their BSN to get a bedside job. Why does the ADN still exi...

2. Degree over Experience?

   Delancree replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree with you. I have a hard time understanding why some licensed nurses think BSN prepared nurses are more competent than ADNs, especially that they sit for the same exact exam.

3. Degree over Experience?

   Delancree replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I do not agree with the “choosing to stay stagnant” remark. Nurses do not have the same goals, or budgets. Nursing education is expensive and higher nursing degrees do not automatically translate into better care. All RNs received the same basic n...

4. Medication Error in School

   Delancree replied to uofanurse's topic in School

   @tining you are right about the pharmacy label with a description of the pill and all...if you get one. Some of the pills I receive are dispensed in orange tubes with regular sticker labels. Almost all my kids have the same community providers and s...

9. New Grad, Can't Get Hired?

   Delancree replied to Justineqt's topic in Job Hunt

   Hello new grad. First, let me start by saying that the one mistake new grads always make is "only look for positions at hospitals". There are so many other options out there for RNs. While I do understand the need for the hospital experience, please ...

    Delancree replied to NYCquestions's topic in School

    No they did not. I even asked my sup and she said all I can do now is wait for further instructions. It really is frustrating. You should plan your childcare according to school hours. 7_4. Heads up, some schools start at 7:30, like where I am now. I...

11. NYC School Nurse Hiring Process?

    Delancree replied to NYCquestions's topic in School
