   I consider it very unprofessional. The heart behind nursing is not to gain the attention of others, but rather give attention to those in need.

    cdm369 replied to cdm369's topic in Career Support

11. Considering nursing career.....ADN or BSN??

    cdm369 replied to cdm369's topic in Career Support

    Nurseguy: I don't think the BSN route would benefit you much at all. You already have a Bachelor's Degree, and in business management at that, so I would see no need of pursing another bachelor's. You have the management skills, now you just need t...

    cdm369 replied to cdm369's topic in Career Support

    As far as the time factor is concerned. I have taken so much of my core for a Bachelor's that the difference between ADN classes and BSN is not much, mainly the convenience differs. At this point, there are about 3-4 more classes I need to take in ...
