  1. Looking for an online DNP program.

    Thank you for the explanation Ivan.
  2. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Well said jazzymom. ...except that I believe the floor skills are a little better simply because of the additional knowledge that lead to better decision making abilities.
  3. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    I had a different experience. I actually learned quite a bit more about nursing, clinically speaking and otherwise. I think that what you learn may depend as much on the quality of the program as what you make yourself learn. That alone would acco...
  4. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    You can't generalize a conclusion from a single datum. You are talking about a single specific test score, and I am talking about overall general knowledge and commitment to a goal in reference to most people. The only measurement of one's commitment...
  5. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    And I think a diploma nurse takes the same exam as well. I guess the difference lies in the extra couple of years of education, the extra classes in pharmacology and physical assessment, the extra classes in basic management and research applicatio...
  6. Changing an NP specialty?

    Thanks! That sounds like great advice. :)
  7. Changing an NP specialty?

    Switching tracks is not a possibility at my current school since adult health is the only track they offer. A post-master's certificate would be a good solution I think. Thanks for the reply.
  8. There will ALWAYS be jobs available. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But one thing that you must never forget is that the people who are at the top of the game will never lack for a job. The trick is to present yourself as someone who is classy, ha...
  9. Changing an NP specialty?

    I am currently enrolled in a program to become an adult health nurse practioner. I have recently been thinking that my choice of this program could be somewhat limiting in the future. What are my options, post-graduation, should I decide that I wo...
  10. How do you feel about the NP "haters"?

    I completely agree with the idea presented above where this is a non-issue in real life. People who make negative postings on the internet represent a minority of those in real life. Don't worry about it. Do what is best for you.
  11. I've been in critical care for years. Recently I switched into the ER. So I guess I fit the stereotype. Within a year I should be full time in education. This poll would have more meaning if we could compare it to the results from a similar poll fr...
  12. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    While I am not insulted by the term "murse" I feel that its really not that funny. Nor is it very relevant to my profession. Much like the term "male nurse," it differentiates between male and female nurses as if we had different job descriptions. ...
  13. Socialized Medicine the myths and the facts

    I'm not sure why you decided that I didn't want any of those things. It sounds a little bit like you are telling me what I like and don't like. Also, many of those things on your list are not publicly funded, but to go into that detail is way beyo...
  14. Be careful of what you ask for....

    Hmmm... well I have been a nurse for 6 years and I practice nursing in Florida which has a reputation for being one of the lowest paying states for nurses. After 20 years of nursing you are making approximately $62k. Last year I did not work any o...
  15. Socialized Medicine the myths and the facts

    Socialism cannot survive without raising taxes. Taxes have never been levied for the benefit of the taxed. There is no worse tyranny than to force a person to pay for what they do not want merely because you think it would be good for them. Now I ...
