1. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

   chestrockwell replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

   What in the world is everyone confused about here? Lets break it down: "BSN"- A Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing. Its not a license, not a title. "BSN" is just some weird abbreviation that nurses made up to feel special. Its not a ...

2. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   chestrockwell replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   You might want to associate with different people if that's the respone you get whenever you complain about that. Are they suggesting that an extra 2 years of theory and research classes will then entitle you to complain?

3. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   No offense, but I think you are overthinking this issue of respect. Why are you so concerned that someone respect your education? Who has told you they think that nursing education is easy and why would you care? In reality your patients are in the h...

   I have to say that this weird obsession some have about being "respected" seems odd. Who are we talking about here? Who isn't giving the respect some think they deserve? If you are not getting respect, perhaps its because you are not demanding it. ...

   personally, I think all nurses should have a bachelors degree at some point. It makes you a more well rounded person. But I disagree that a BSN is necessary as other degrees and majors provide enough liberal arts education.

   great post.

7. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   chestrockwell replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   That a problem for requiring a BSN. I too have a BA and am going for an ADN because I did not want an accelerated BSN program. Now why should my previous degree not be of value? Because I didn't take a history of nursing class that will never help m...

8. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   chestrockwell replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   Do you think that OT's and PT's and pharmacists have a lot of work place control? You make it seem like they get all the respect in the world and that nurses get none. I don't know anyone that says " wow, look at that OT, I really respect and envy th...

9. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   chestrockwell replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   because my BA is in sociology I have already taken classes on community health, theory, and research. I agree that a Bachelors should be necessary for a nurse, but I disagree at to the necessity of a BSN specifically. Many people have previous degree...

10. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    chestrockwell replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

    Exactly. I have a previous bachelors and am almost finished with my AA in nursing. Are the proponents for a mandatory BSN suggesting I go back to school for yet another degree? And if so, should I then demand more respect and salary for the extra edu...

14. Pharmaceutical Sales?

    chestrockwell replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Let me see if I understand. You maintain a personal friendship with a physician that sleeps with multiple sales reps who call on him, but have no respect for the sales reps? I think you should have more of a problem with your sleazy doctor friend.
